school, work, and life in chico!

Its been a while since i have put anything up. Since school started in late August i have been swamped with homework and the never-ending "to-do" list...not to mention we are back in chico and now we have a social life again. Its so nice to be able to call our friends and see them 5 minutes later. You forget how much appreciate being close to those you love until you move really far away. But life is so great right now for the Munoz's. I have contemplated starting a count down until graduation because i am just so excited. But i realized its still 8 months so i will wait a bit longer to do the day to day count down. Still though, 8 months, thats less time than it takes to grow a baby...so i will be a nurse in less time than it takes to grow a baby! YAY! But don't think that we are going to be growing any babies soon. We aren't ready for that chapter yet. Gareth has been trucking along with work in Houston, Texas. He flies out for a week at a time every other week and works long hard days for 7 days in a row. Then he comes home to spend time with me and do side jobs here in Chico. Gareth has really been enjoying being back in town as well...all i can say is, i have to fight for my time with him with his friends. He has all these friends that want to go shooting or hunting or ride dirt bikes....etc ALL THE TIME. I am beginning to wonder if these guys ever do anything else. j/k But he has fun with it and i am glad. Plus i think he is just doing a little catch up from our year in the mountains. Another thing that we are very excited about now that we're back is Church! We are able to go to the "nine" service at neighborhood church and we absolutely love the the worship and messages...God is just so great! Our house is completely unpacked and all the pictures are hung on the wall....AHHH finally done! Well we have been done for 2 weeks but it still feels good to have settled in and established ourselves here again. I am working part-time at Buckle again and am enjoying the old "buckle" scene. It sure is tempting to work in a clothes store...you really have to practice self control to not indulge you entire pay check! Between work, school and our life in chico with friends we keep a full schedule going. Pretty soon it will be Christmas and i cant wait for the joy that the holidays bring. For now we will keep on keepin' on. And i will try to keep this updated on a regular basis! God Bless!
