getting organized...
I really need to get more organized for school. I'm taking 12 hours (full time). 3 "real" classes and 2 super stupid ones lol. They're just a friday and saturday class and you get 1 credit hour for them. This past weekend was Internet. Next weekend is troubleshooting. But the other 3 classes, shew, my stuff is everywhere. Economics, luckily, is just a fill in the blank hand-out type thing instead of having a book and having to take notes. English and art aren't that way though. Art especially. I should have been taking notes this whole time and I just haven't. I figured I could just go through later and read through all the chapters that I needed to go over.... We'll see how well that works out for me after our test on tuesday, cuz I haven't gone over anything at all. English isn't too hard, it's just a matter of keeping everything together and in one place. I'm usually pretty good about it but for some reason, I've totally lost it this semester. I just throw everything in my bag and never look at it again until the next class. Maybe with Josh being gone this week I can kind of get it together since I won't have to worry about feeding him too. Just me and Fallyn. I just hope she doesn't drive me to the point of insanity while he's gone.

update
It has been hectic around here since the holidays. I started school last week. I decided to major in business with a concentration in retail, sales and marketing. I started off taking 16 hours this semester. I don't know what I was thinking. 2 of my classes were online and the first 2 days of class I couldn't even get logged into them. By the time I could, I was already behind so I dropped them and picked up two 1 hour weekend classes. I'll go from 5 to 10 on Friday and 8 to 4 on Saturday and I'm done with those classes. Monday and Wednesday I take economics and Tuesday and Thursday i have english and art. My english teacher drives me insane with the way she talks. She's originally from Alabama and talks like a hick. She pronounces "on" like "own". I can't stand it at all. My art class isn't too bad. I've only gone 1 day because of changing my schedule around. My art teacher is also the photography teacher... so I have a feeling we might get along quite well. I hope anyways lol. I've also joined a club. The Weevil Eye College Newspaper. Hoping to be the photography for the news paper... We'll see what happens. There's only 3 of us really interested in it so, I'm not sure how well it's going to turn out this semester. It just got started last semester and didn't really do much. Hopefully this semester will be better.
I finally got transferred to another unit here in Alabama. It took like 4 or 5 months! Holy hell. I have drill next weekend ugh. I have to drive up to Montgomery. Luckily I know someone here in the area that is also in the unit, so we can carpool together. The unit is supposed to be deploying in August/Sept sometime I think. Luckily when I joined the reserves I signed a 24 month stabilization. So I won't be going anywhere anytime soon :D unless I want to... and I don't really want to lol. I was thinking about trying to get promoted and go back on active duty but I really want to finish school. I'll still be able to finish if I'm back on active duty but I won't be able to go full time.
So, this is my little update for now. Maybe now that I've somewhat caught up since being on vacation I will start posting more.... Especially since I'm out of the house Tues-Thurs... I see the silliest shit on campus. Like last Thursday this guy was wearing his pants tucked into his cowboy boots.. I wondered if he was trying to follow the whole Ugg trend or if he just didn't know how to dress. I like to get there about 45 min early so I can "people watch" lol. We'll have to see what happens tomorrow and I'll have to blog about it :)

Bout time I updated this
Christmas vacation was fun, minus the frigid cold weather we had in Iowa. Josh was finally able to spend some time with his brother... well, we all were able to spend more time with his brother lol. Kinda a long story and I probably shouldn't talk about it here.... Fallyn was able to spend some time with her cousins. She had a blast hanging out with them. They weren't too sure of her at first. She was an intruder lol. They get to be the only ones with their grandparents all the time and Fallyn hasn't been up there since she was about 6 months old. But they finally warmed up to each other...
Then they ended up in the cabinets... 
Then Grandma Anderson's Bday
Then Christmas.... (left to right, Fallyn, Sven, Addie and Cooper)
Cooper's Bday...
And finally, Fallyn's bday...
Between christmas and birthdays we were busy everyday!!
