As for our first semester together, there's not much to tell, and we don't have any pictures to go along with our story :( We would go to school at 8:00 am and get home around 6:00 pm every day. Nick and I both really enjoyed most of our classes this semester. For those of you who don't know, my major is communication disorders (otherwise known as speech-language pathology and audiology), and Nick's major is the classics. This semester I got to take Hearing Science and Acoustics and Medical Speech Pathology, and I just loved both of them! Nick got to take Latin and some Greek literature classes and he really enjoyed those. We both got really lucky with our jobs this semester. Nick works for the microbiology department researching early church history, and he gets to choose the hours that he works, which was really nice. I worked for Bookstore Custodial, and it was so nice because I got to sit in an office and do homework for 4 hours unless someone called in a spill or something that I needed to clean up, and that didn't happen very often.
For Halloween, we got to take our nieces trick-or-treating, and we just loved it! They dressed up as a baker and a cup cake. It was so cute!
I ended up getting really sick at the beginning of October. I was really weak, nauseous, and every time I got out of bed I felt like I was going to faint. I went to the doctor 3 times in the next 3 months, and they had no idea what it was. Right away they thought I was pregnant, but don't get too excited, it's not true, haha. Then, they did tests on my eyes, heart, thyroid, lungs, and a few other things, but they couldn't find anything wrong. Turns out it was a combination of mono and an inner ear infection, and they both have not gone away yet. I am better than what I used to be, but it's still pretty bad. There are some days where I have the strength to go grocery shopping or hang out with family as long as we just watch a movie or play games or something. I ended up not doing too well in my classes since I couldn't go to class for the second half of the semester, but I passed all of them, which is all I was asking for! This semester I am only taking 9 credits so hopefully I can get rid of this soon! I have been very blessed with such an amazing husband. He has taken care of me so well, and I know it put a lot more stress on him because he had to work and go to his own classes and take care of me at the same time. He says he will take care of me as long as it takes, but we both want this to go away as soon as possible so we can go back to normal life!
Christmas was really fun for us. Both of our families came to Utah, so we didn't have to travel anywhere! It made it crazy with both of them here, but we were so glad we could spend it with both of them. I mostly stayed home to rest except for Christmas Eve and Christmas, but Nick went snowboarding and to a movie with his brothers, and he loved it. Also, Nick's sister, Jess, had her baby at the end of November! He is so adorable, and I'm so sad that I've been sick so I haven't been able to see him or the rest of their family too much. I'm excited to get better and start seeing them more often again!
Overall, this semester wasn't too bad, but we are excited for and hopeful about this coming year.
