So for FHE last week Steve & I had Origami Night. My mom gave us a book of origami stuff and some paper, and, as you can see in the entry below (flower) Steve already knows his origami. So we made these animals while we watched a movie:
I came home from work today with a massive headache, and Steve, cute thing that he is, met me at the car and left to do all our grocery shopping for me, because he is an angel. When I got into the apartment, I found this on the table.
I think it's pretty obvious that I have the most adorable husband in the entire world.
I want to blog, but I feel like I have so much to say and not even enough energy to say it... :-)
We went up to LA this weekend for Allana's endowment session, which I was honored to escort her through. I've never been to the LA temple before, but it was neat because it was so different than San Diego. And it's where my parents got married, so that was very special, too. Steve and I think we found the room they were married in (there were four, but we only saw two).
I fixed my comments so anyone can leave one. And you should because I like feedback. It's fun. :)
There's something about the air getting warmer that makes me feel better--it's that promise of summer that always got me through the last weeks of school. So the weird thing right now is not having school. Ever again.
It's been strange (but cool) to sometimes have free time... I still kind of don't know what to do when Steve has to study, but I'm figuring it out.
Also, suddenly, I'm on a huge saving kick. (That may be the product of working at a financial planning company). Seriously, though. I'm suddenly really having thoughts--and often--like "I wonder how much we can afford to put in a Roth IRA per month?" and "How much would we have to save per month to have a 10% down payment for a house by the time we're 30?" It's kind of sick. But at least we'll be sort of prepared. I hope. I think that's a big concern for me right now, with grad school approaching for Steve and not knowing where we'll live, and how much it will cost to get through those years.
I'm figuring out other ways to make money, too, besides my job. I'm working full time, still editing for Steve's dad's magazine, and now I'm taking on a small tutoring job for a local family. I think I need to just relax, but I'm not very good at that sometimes.
BUT! I am taking on some hobbies, now, and it's pretty fun. I decided to try some baking, but so far all I've gotten to is brownies and these cupcakes:
They came out really well, by the way. And were iced with chocolate frosting.
