Getting Started

I have always read other people's blogs and just decided it was about time I entered the blogging world. Writing has always been so relaxing to me, and i thought this might be an excellent way to keep in touch with people and record things going on in our lives. 

As an update on what's going on in our lives lately. I'm still at Linfield, finishing up my junior year and looking for summer internships. Normal weeks for me include school, homework, work (at fred meyer) and spending time with dan when our schedules permit. We are doing wedding planning little by little, trying to take our time and enjoy it all together.

Recently Dan finished up school and passed his national certification to become a Paramedic. I am so proud of him and it is so nice to seem him a little less stressed. Dan is at work on one of his regular shift days, which means he works 24 hours straight. So 7am today until 7am tomorrow. He works 24 hour shifts every third day. That doesn't include drills on monday nights, union meetings once a month, and the other million meetings that come along with the fire department. It was hard to get used to his weird schedule at first, but it's starting to become more normal.  

It has been so nice out the last couple days. I have been able to go bike riding a lot and start working on my tan hehe. Dan and I have tried to work out and doing a lot more active things lately. Its a nice way to spend time together and be healthy at the same time. Today I am just hanging around the house cleaning, organizing, doing homework and playing with the cats every so often. Its nice to have our own place and have some time to myself every now and then. 

Life's greatest accomplishments are those that at first seem impossible. . .
