How has life been since I graduated? Well, as you will see in our project post (coming shortly! I forgot the camera today so hopefully I can upload the pictures tomorrow and publish the post!)we have kept pretty busy with a ton of labor-intensive projects! But as far as daily life there have been a lot of little changes too.
Dan is going to summer school. I went last summer and it is his turn this summer. Summer school can be insane but it sure is a great way to knock out a lot of classes and graduate sooner. He has stayed busy with homework and his student teaching volunteer hours. He is currently volunteering at the Boys & Girls Club in Roy. He mostly helps Special Ed students with summer projects/after school activities. I have been able to help him with his schooling by editing his papers and such. I have caught myself complaining a few times about it but then quickly remember that I am only doing about 4 hours of homework a week now instead of like 40. I definitely approve of my new homework load and enjoy helping Dan out!
I have started my new position at Weber State, well kind of. Technically my benefits don't kick in until July 1st but I have been pretty much started working my new position and increased my hours shortly after graduation. It has been CRAZY BUSY here at work, which is probably good, but boy am I tired when I leave!
Overall, life is good. It has been an adjustment for me to not be going to school. I am a very goal oriented person so although I don't miss the homework, I do miss the satisfaction of completing projects and meeting the goals I would set for myself each day. I also miss the friends I made and studied with on a daily basis. Dan has been patient as I have adjusted to having a new daily routine and getting used to my new job. Overall, things are good at the Crandall Household and we are grateful for all our many blessings.
