Purpose


It's official. Joe (husband) has started law school. This has been a long time coming. For the last year and half we have been very anxiously waiting for this day to arrive. I am super excited (although I have already had nightmares that it was me, and not him, who was going back to school. . . it wasn't pretty.)

While Joe is in school I really only have 2 responsibilities: 1.) Pay for law school 2.) Stay out of Joe's way so he can study. So, while I can't do much about my first responsibility (besides go to work everyday), I've been brainstorming ways that I can keep myself busy over the next three years to stay out of his way. So the purpose of this blog is for me to chronicle the ways that I have found to entertain myself while Joe is at school.

I'm hoping to use these next three years as a time of learning to do all sorts of new things. Who knows, with a never ending supply of baking blogs on the internet and a recently purchased 103 year old house that is in desperate need of decorating, I could become the next Martha Stewart. What I don't want is to look back at these 3 years and think they were wasted "waiting for Joe to finish." I want to use this time to try new things, to learn new things, and just generally have a great time.

I'm completely open to suggestions, so if you have any great ideas on how to have adventures while your husband is studying, PLEASE let me know!
That being said, I will now be spending the rest of my saturday night looking at pictures likes these:

  1. How about baking extravaganzas with Courtney? We can cover our 100 year old houses with flour dust...it'll blend right in with all the other old-house dust right? It's going to be a great three years!
