Plans for the Future

Looking back on the year (and yes, it's almost been a whole year since Mike and I got married) it's amazing how fast time goes by. I am 2 weeks away from being done with my first year of graduate school. We have recently adopted a lab puppy named Eva, she is huge and growing bigger every day. Mike loves her though, so now we're both happy campers with two animals. I woke up this morning really excited for a few reasons. I will be starting my thesis research this summer and can't wait to get it finished so I can start writing my thesis and get on to graduating. We have also been talking about moving back to Sacramento when we are finished here, and that makes me even happier. We really want to find careers in Sac, and eventually a house somewhere in Land Park or East Sacramento. We're both really excited to be back in the 'city.' Haha. Humboldt County is beautiful but we are ready for careers, being closer to family, and for some familiarity. We can't wait to buy a house and make it our own. We can't wait for summers in Sac where we ca go to the river to swim and fish and have a picnic. We can't wait to eat breakfast at one of the yummy downtown restaurants, and take walks at night in the warm Sacramento air. I think we are both most excited to finally start our lives together. Being here is great for the moment, but we both feel like we are on hold until I finish. ONE MORE YEAR and we will we back!!!!!!!!
