Jeans and Sneakers

I know, I know, I haven’t blogged in a mad long time.  There’s a partial reason for it.  I have some pretty big news.

Holy crap, I’m engaged!  Today was our 5 year anniversary, and man did Rob surprise me.  He picked out the perfect ring, cooked me steak dinner, got my favorite kind of wine, got down on one knee, and even hid it inside something sweet.  I was totally shocked (and still kind of am!), and happy.  :]

Secondly, I’m going back to school!!  I didn’t want to write about it until I was fairly certain I’m going, and I’m all registered for my classes and stuff, so that’s that.  I start on my birthday.  There’s been a few complications, including having to go part time instead of full time (unless my letter to the dean actually does anything), because of my bad grades from my first attempt at college.  And since I’ve registered late and all, I’m kind of stressed because I haven’t heard back from the financial aid department yet, so I have no idea how much I’m going to owe them if anything.

But I’m going for a BS in Computer Information Systems.  It’s going to take a while, since I don’t have that many credits from school before, and I’m going after work, not during the day.  I’m super excited and Rob’s being great and supporting me and stuff, and I can’t wait to begin.

I also had a car problem, and some work stress and a trip to Philadelphia, so I’ve been kind of busy, not to mention last weekend Rob started wiring the lower level of the house so that we can begin to finish it.

I did start knitting again, the socks.  I’m finding it so hard to keep an interest in knitting socks on one circular.  The razor cami has come to a halt. . .even after I bought a knit picks circular needle for it, I keep messing up the pattern.  I might pick it up again, sometime.

I also sort of stopped reading Atlas Shrugged again.  Last weekend it was all I wanted to do, but then I got up to one point and it just got repetitive, and I put it down.  Other than all that, I’m glad it’s weekend!!
