Moving In, Starting School, and Loving Amazon!

Last week Kaden and I finally moved in to our new home! Woo Hoo! I am proud to say that we are almost entirely unpacked, except for all of the stuff sitting in the garage that i don't know what to do with. I am pretending like it doesn't exist and i will probably hide behind my ridiculously busy life until it magically disappears. Our house might be unpacked, but it isn't finished at all. I am actually waiting to get some furniture (that i have hiding in the garage) painted, and my walls as well. I will be buying paint next week, everyone in the valley, home hardware is having an amazing paint sale on some good paint starting September 1st. I am sending my mom in the day it starts to get paint for every single room in my house! I haven't completely decided on colors yet, but i will post picture of everything once i am finished.

School started on Monday. Kaden and I are taking as many classes as we can and working too. Kaden can only take 12 credits right now since he is still on probation, but this is his last semester of it. I have 18 credits but i honestly am wishing i could take more.  After our first week of class, Kaden has realized that his computer class and his Spanish class are going to be pretty hard and I realized that my hardest classes will be my geology and Jazz classes. I am sure Kadens will be harder than mine though, i don't know why but this semester my classes should be a breeze. Which is nice in a way since I am going to have three jobs and i signed up for a few clubs and i really want to keep working out, but the same time, i really do like having to study for my tests and reading my books. What is the point of buying an 80 dollar book if you don't even have to read it? Oh well im sure in a couple weeks once my schedule really catches up with me i will be dang glad that i don't have to work too hard for an A. I have a feeling that this semester is going to be a blast! My sister Sarah is up here and Vance, Kaden's brother is living with us. Just this past week Sarah and i have hung out everyday, and for some reason run into each other on  campus at the most random places.  It has been so nice spending so much time with Sarah though, and knowing she isn't too far away if i want to talk to her. We started working out together on Monday and started a pretty good routine, I thought i was so from that, then i went to my Jazz class, which is absolutely amazing! We learned a 30 minute warm up for the first half of class, and then we worked on some floor work. I was actually surprised when i realized how much easier things are for me now, i am sure its because im actually in somewhat of good shape, but today i was definitely feeling some muscles that i haven't used forever!

Now on to my new found love, Amazon! I discovered this wonderful sight awhile ago when i ordered a bunch of lighting for a ridiculously low price, but i am not a fan of having to pay for shipping so i never really thought to order anything from there unless i absolutely had too. Then Kaden suggested that we get our books from Amazon instead of the bookstore. Well i procrastinated till the week before and was worried about not getting them in time and having too pay extra for shipping. When i finally gave in and looked, i figured out that i qualified for a free Prime account with Amazon, if you don't know what that is, it is pretty much heaven for anyone who doesn't like having to drive an hour or two to get the things they need. With this prime account i get free two day shipping and stuff over nighted for 3.99. How great is that! Well so great that this past week we have literally received a package on our front door step every single day. I not only ordered all of our books, but Vance's and Sarah's. Then i needed a planner, so i hopped on Amazon and got the perfect one. Then i was sitting in the office one night frustrated with all our random papers and ordered cute paper boxes (they should be here today), then i was sitting in our office thinking man it sure would be nice to have a desk, so... I ordered a beautiful desk for only 200 and it came with free shipping still, but not two day (it should be here next wednesday). Then just last night i realized that i don't have one single pair of Jazz shoes anymore so again i hopped on Amazon and I will have them before my next class. It honestly is like magic at the tips of my fingers. What a terrible obsession. I plan on quitting soon. Hopefully i do before my bank account makes me.
