145 days until I get married!

I've been waiting for pictures to post, but I keep forgetting to take pictures, so I figured I was due for an update. I had a good Christmas break at home. It was wonderful seeing and spending time with my family and taking a break from school, although Jason and I were apart, so that was kind of hard. We got lots of planning done for the wedding.

I just finished my second week back at school. I'm taking 15.5 credits (a load I can comfortably handle and still have fun). Jason and I have 5 classes together! All of my classes are music classes except for Doctrine and Covenants. That will change after this semester. I recently planned out the rest of my college existence to make sure I graduate in 2010 (unlike most music majors). I'm taking 17.5 credits both semesters next year (we'll see how that goes), 16.5 Fall semester of my senior year, and 13 credits my last semester. Meanwhile, Jason is seriously considering switching majors to Accounting. He's losing interest in the amount of schooling it will take to get a Doctorate in Music, and all the work and time away from our family that would not even result in very much money. To get a masters in Accounting he'd only be in school until 2012, and he thinks he would enjoy it more and make a lot more money. He's taking a pre-requisite class for the Accounting major this semester to see if he likes it, and so far he really does. I'm excited for him! I think it's funny that my dad did accounting as well.

Anyways, it has been soooo cold and snowy here! Jason and I are becoming more and more convinced that we want to live somewhere warmer, because we're so sick of all the cold! But we did take advantage of the weather last weekend when we went sledding! We went to Rock Canyon Park and used his toboggan. It was so much fun! Last night I dragged him to the concert of Fredricka von Stade (an amazing opera singer from the Metropolitan Opera). She was charming and entertaining. It was quite the experience. I'm pretty sure Jason enjoyed it too.

Today I'm going wedding dress shopping with my roommates!! My mom is coming up in February to go dress shopping and buy a dress, so I'm doing the preliminary shopping. Then this afternoon, Jason and I are going to buy wedding bands that we found yesterday when we took my ring to get sized (finally). So, there are lots of exciting things going on in life, and I'm enjoying every minute of it!
