Midterms

This week is midterms.  We're halfway through, then only one more term and we're done.  Bryce and I are beginning to look for jobs or at least get an idea for what kinds of jobs we are qualified for.  In this economy getting a job is tough, but we are just hoping for the best.  Bryce is particularly interested in working for Fish & Wildlife or the Forestry Service.  As for me, I'm looking for more office or clerical jobs, such as an office assistant or administrative assistant.

Planning for my senior recital is going well, despite some setbacks.  It is going to be a great program; all 20th century British and American Art Song.  I know that not everyone will understand or appreciate it, but my professors, my close friends and my family will.  

Recently Bryce and I bought a Wii Fit and we have really used it!  I think it has helped me stay active even on those cold, rainy Oregon days.  We are both trying to eat healthier, exercise and drop some weight and the Wii Fit has helped us a lot.  Plus, our friends love to come over and use it too!

Christmas and New Years

It's been awhile since I updated our blog.  Here are some pictures from our first Christmas together and New Years!  We have had a very relaxing break and are looking forward to Winter Term.
                                                      
                                              Our little Christmas tree, its fiberoptic!

                                                      Bryce said HE was my Christmas present! Too cute!

Christmas Dinner...YUM!

                                            
                                            Cookies for Santa...

    Bryce refused to make a normal face for pictures! Silly! A little Zoolander-ish no?

       Bryce's friend Dan caught a great picture of us laughing while trying to pose for a New Years picture

Recently

This term is flying by for both Bryce and I.  We have been very busy with school and work, but still find time to have some fun. Married life is GREAT!  We love our cozy (tiny) little apartment.  Recently we splurged to get basic cable because we were tired of renting movies and buying movies on occasion.  It was a really good decision for us, since I love the food channel and we both LOVE the Sci-fi channel and history channel.  I also enjoy watching marathons of America's Next Top Model...Ha Ha. 

Marriage has definitely been good for me!  It has helped me prioritize my life and let go of things that just aren't that important.  And I love being able to come home to someone, especially when I have particularly stressful days.  We are so happy!

In other news, I have started another blog to write about my Arts Administration adventures, which has helped me to reflect on all that I have learned and continue to learn as I dive head first in the arts admin world.  You can read about my adventures at: http://karen-adams.blogspot.com/

That's all for now folks!  I apologize for the mundane quality of my blog, but hey sometimes mundane is good, considering that out lives are often full of the unexpected!
