Christmas plans

Christmas time is here again!  First of all, thanks to all those who participated in the poll this past week.  It was fun to hear some of your thoughts and opinions.  I will let you know what ends up being the verdict.  

We are 11 days away from Christmas eve.  Austin and I will be flying to Orlando, Florida to visit his family for the holidays.  I have never been back east so it will be a really fun adventure.  We hope to go to Disney World and the ocean... at least those are two things on my to do list.  We will see what ends up happening ( I will be fine with anything).  

School is winding down.  I have three finals in a row next week, (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday).  This is the first semester that Austin has had more presentations than finals.  I think he told me he has 2 finals and 3 presentations.  It'll be nice when school is done because then we will have more time to be with one another.  

For Georgia's Christmas present we are getting a picture of us that we think she will like and framing it.  The other day I asked her "what do you get someone who has everything?". She first said love and then she said that she likes pictures.  So the one above is a picture we had my old roommate take of us.  We had some very nice pictures turn out but after much deliberation we decided to go with an old favorite (below) from our Seattle trip because we felt like it would work better year round (its not Christmassy) and that Georgia would appreciate it more because it shows more who we are (fun, loving and adventurous). 









Well, I guess that's a wrap!  Till next time!

I am polling the audience!

             Well, here we are in December already. Life is just flying by! Luckily we have all of our Christmas presents done. We just have a few last minute things to do but all in all we are doing good. School is our main focus with finals coming up quick. This semester has really been great. We have both had a lot of time to focus on our studies and make the most of it. Next semester will be interesting. Austin will still have his full load of classes and I will only have two classes (technically 3 counting my online class).
            Ok, here is the deal. I am polling the audience... I expect everyone to participate that reads this post, it is very crucial! (ok, maybe not that important but do it because you love me)... Anyways, I have been debating what future schooling or career would be best for me and our little families future (no, we're not pregnant, just trying to plan ahead). The more I look into different options the more options I find! Here is a list of the current options on my mind: physical therapy (great career but full time school for 3 solid years... it would be difficult with kids), exercise science masters program (2 yr part time program and I could teach at a community college level), Fitness Instructor (could start right away but first I have to specialize in something... like pilates),  and (yes I know its out there) MBA (a part of me likes the idea of the business world but its something I don't know much about so it would be a whole new realm... scary but exciting). I want to see what you think, which option would you choose if you were in my shoes? (don't worry, I am not basing my decision on what you say, its just a fun thing to know what you think).
 I will try to post a poll on the right hand side of the blog.  Check it out.
