5th time's a charm?



After changing, debating, mulling over, experimenting, and completely hating the four majors I had chosen originally before this one, I am happy to say I think we found a winner!! I have decided to major in Dietetics. What the heck is that? Well it's a fantastic little major that gives me a better, more knowledgable excuse to give to Lance as to why we should in fact not eat that delicious looking cheesey, bacon topped, hamburger. But on a more serious note it will give me a lot of knowledge for later on down the road when food allergies hit our children, as they have so generously done to us, and it will also allow me to do two things that I am very passionate about at the same time! I am able to work on a scientific basis, such as how does what you are eating digest in your body, how is it stored, what do the ingredients in the food do to your organs, and so on an so forth. The other part of it is interacting with people on a very personal basis. I will have a cliental that I hopefully work with through either stressful points in their life, tragic points, happy points, such a pregnancy, or achieving a goal such as running a marathon, and so many other points. Needless to say this fits me well. Because of this major change I have spent that last 3 weeks with this little gem:
Isn't she a beaut?
I've managed to become excited with this topic though, chemistry has for once in my life intrigued me, which is another reason that I feel this major is going to fit well. Except for today is my birthday and I do not want to even look at that book. (But I am)

So Lance and I have been slowly chipping away at wedding plans, in and out of Chemistry conversations.
We declared our colors, reserved our venue, drooled over caterers, and have narrowed our photographers down to 3.
I'm so excited for the next year, Lance will be home for every holiday, every OSU football game, and we're planning our wedding! Which is sure to be fantastic. There is just so many wonderful things in the future and I couldn't be more appreciative of everything life has given me thus far.
