Him and Me

We start school on Tuesday! Spring term is just 2 days away and we cannot wait. Tomorrow we are picking up our books and tackling the financial aid office (always an ordeal). I've been bumming around for so long that I'm so excited to have a life with a schedule again.

Do you have any idea how difficult it is for someone to be on a diet without a schedule? It's practically impossible. Which is why I've gained weight :)

Today is my first day back on my diet. I've gotta get swimsuit ready. And tan. You know why?

Because I got the internship at Disney World. That's why!

I report to Disney September 7th and find out where I'm living, meet my roommates, meet my instructors, find out more about my position there... SO MUCH!

Yes, I said roommates. Bryce is not going with me. He will be staying in Idaho, keeping our apartment for us, and being a full time student. He knows he's going to be "bored" without me (so cute) but he is planning on taking a very full load of classes to keep him really busy and make the time go faster.

I'm trying to do the same thing. Disney offers classes that colleges can count as credit and you can take up to 9 credits. If BYUI accepts those credits, then I'm going to take an additional 3 credits of BYUI online classes to reach the minimum 12 credits for a full time student, allowing me to receive financial aid while I'm working in Florida. Cross your fingers that everything will go through properly.

As if me being gone for 4 months wasn't hard enough on our marriage, Bryce is leaving in June to Oregon to do his summer job at the berry company. This means, as of June Bryce and I will not be living together until January 2012. We know we can do it because the financial relief his job brings is worth the time apart and the opportunity I have to work in Florida is one that doesn't come around every day.

Are we crazy? Maybe. But I also think we're crazy enough to pull it off.
