Things are just great. I'm so happy I'm getting help!

I just love the heck out of my husband. I am so in love with him. He's just everything to me. We have a very happy marriage, despite  my health and the hardships in our dating and engaged life. I hear a lot of newlyweds talk about fighting over stupid things and I'm just happy we're beyond that. Not saying we're superior at all, but we're both so (maybe too) carefree. Very compatible, I guess. We're just happy! My marriage is awesome and I'm proud to say it!

I realized I'm going to get my associates early next year. It only took...six years and four institutes of higher education. Golly. Seriously...good grief. BUT I'll finally have that stupid piece of paper, some amount of street cred (maybe), and qualification for a lot of jobs that I'd like. Not to mention the fact that I'll be only 54 or so credits from a bachelors. It sounds daunting, but criminal justice is my jam. I could totally crank that out in a year and a semester. That will be 7.5 years to get a bachelors. I guess that's not too bad!

And I think I've settled on a direction. I'll get my bachelors (because I'm so sick of transferring) and hopefully a surgical technician thing or a clinical laboratory assistant thing so I can be eligible to do autopsies. Maybe mortuary school? And then it's on to death investigation! Heck, I may not even need that extra stuff in some counties. I don't know. And I'm seriously considering private investigation. I love stalking people and finding out everything about them. It would totally be a fit for me. There are just so many possibilities.

Stephen's job really helps with financial stability. I'm so happy I don't have to worry about money too much. I worry about his grades and I'm sad he can't spend more time with me, but we're working to fix that. He's thinking of dropping a day a week so he can study and remain sane.

There are just so many possibilities in our life! Nothing is stable, and that's great sometimes. I'm really hoping I can get a cat soon. Or any pet, really. I miss having things I love in my life. They may not bring me as much joy anymore, but it's better than nothing. I'd love to have something to love and take care of. I'd love to play viola and water polo. I'd like to have my rock collection. I guess I have some of it still...

Anyway, things are great right now, despite my failures and disappointments.
