Today was the first day of school! Yay! I have a lot of fun classes lined up for the semester. It's nice to be focusing on my major and taking courses I'm truly interested in. Stephen also has a full course load with three programming classes. We'll both be working 20 hours a week. I start my custodial job at Helaman Halls tomorrow morning. Stephen is going back to Lucidchart, the company he's been working for all summer. We both have very full days every day. Basically, we'll have a few hours in the evening together, but that time is going to be spent doing homework. However, we knew we would be busy--this is partially why we got married in August rather than November or December--we wanted to spend as much time together as we could during this semester, and being married makes that easier. It's nice to both come home to the same place.
We've had some adventures in getting our home into order. Our toilet particularly had issues, and we learned quickly that every home should own a plunger. Unfortunately, neither of us did, and we had to go to the store to get one. Our apartment is still messy and we're trying to find a home for all our stuff. Now that school and work are picking up again, it'll be harder to make time to just organize our home. But it'll get done eventually I'm sure. I have a long to-do list, but I'm crossing things off, so that's helpful. One of the tasks is to write a blog post, so you reading this is proof of my productivity.
It's strange to have two names right now. I use both Hutchins and Rollins, and it's making things a little confusing, but it's not been too bad yet. Hopefully I can take care of the legal side of changing my name quickly. That's just another thing on my to-do list. I really could use more hours in the day sometimes, but at the same time, I'm exhausted at the end of each night. Stephen does a great job of encouraging me and helping me as he can. I believe he would say the same about me. We're both supportive of each other, and I love him for that.
Life is only going to get crazier from here, I'm sure, but I'm excited for the challenge. Stephen and I are in this together. I told him yesterday that there was no way I could get married without him for as much as he helps me sort marriage things. He said it was a good thing he needed me to get married, or else we would have a problem. But life with him is great. I love being a wife. There's just something about making potato soup for my husband as he works on extra credit (yes, he's doing extra credit work on the first day), and then doing the dishes together so we can both work on homework more. I love being married, but more so, I love being married to Stephen.
