stressed....

So as you can all see... it has been awhile since I have written routinely on this blog. And I don't wanna be a complainer, but my life has been SO stressful. First off, I have been working and going to school. And while I have done this for over 4 years, for some reason this term is so much harder and my work is very demanding for the first time in awhile. So, I have been super stressed trying to divide my time between the two.

In addition to all of this, Erik is stressed because of school, we have been doing a lot of traveling anddddd two of my best friends got married within 6 weeks of each other.

Buttttt... my term is over in the middle of December and they are all married and happy and all that. :)

So... moral of the story... I AM SO STRESSED! Butttt... it is only about another month.. then I will be back blogging on a regular basis! YAY!

See ya!
Shannon
