Things are better. It's amazing because I know I didn't need to be around them, and now that I'm not, I have a newfound peace about a lot of things. A lot of my stress is gone.
We're considering it, but have not made any final decisions. We have a lot of things we have to take into consideration, most of it being financially and school based. We want to be careful that we aren't trying to juggle too much in our first year of being married. I know it's hard enough without adding extra stress to it. He has just recently had his resume submitted to a possible engineering position that could bring in some pretty good money. If that goes through, then we will be in a much better position to get married earlier.

Saturday morning, we woke up and got dressed and went to swim with the manatees. That was truly an amazing experience to be out there with these endangered animals. They were like big, wet puppies. |
I took some pictures of the manatees after we swam with them, but it would have been impossible for me to take my fiance's $300 camera in the water and actually bring it back out alive. One of the dive masters recorded the entire thing, so we have the experience on DVD. The entire experience was a fabulous one, and it was like being on a different world. We had to wear wet suits...and I will say that I was nervous about that because my thoughts were "Oh great, now the whole world is going to see every little 'curve' I have," but me and the other staff member discovered that they're actually quite flattering. I was teasing around with her saying maybe I needed to wear a wet suit under my wedding dress.
I got him to join, and he posted a few times, but then school started back up for him. He's getting in the later part of his engineering degree, and so his classes are becoming more and more demanding, so that has prevented him from being here regularly, or even at all as of late. I hardly see him myself these days between both of our schedules.
I am in the home stretch of my last semester of my AA, so work has been kicking up as have my classes. Projects and papers are all coming up for due dates, so my brain capacity is being spent on them, as is my time. I've been popping in and posting here and there when I can, but life is so demanding right now that by the time I get home and get online I can hardly string two sentences together.
*grin* I don't get up in arms about my post count. If you pass me, it will be with my blessing because you deserve it. I would rather make fewer posts and have them be more impactive (if that's a word) than a bunch of posts for the sake of post count. Not saying anybody here does that, but you know what I mean. I am trying, it's just hard with finals around the corners and such.
We are waiting to find out if he's going to get this engineering position before making a final decision on moving up the wedding date. The only problem is that he hasn't gotten his butt into gear about editting his resume so it can get sent off. Which reminds me, I should call him and tell him to do that. But if he gets this job, it could bring in enough for us to be able to get married and not worry ourselves over bills getting paid.
