Still on the face of the earth...

...no, we haven't dropped off the edge! For those of you looking for an update on the newly's, here it is (there will be pictures to follow). I thought starting my own blog, instead of sharing with Jarrod, might inspire me to write more.
We are comfortably settled in our 2-bedroom nest in Ruston. (It must have been furnished in the 80's because the appliances are avocado green!) I love having a place to decorate and rearrange whenever I feel like it.
Anyways, between full-time student-hood and Jarrod's two jobs, we are quite busy. Jarrod is studying music and I'm, well, Jarrod is MY major - full-time wife, cooking and cleaning! I love it all. I'm actually a general studies major since Tech doesn't have anything like my major from Belhaven. Mainly I'm enjoying my class on John Milton as well as two dance classes, tap and theater dance. It's great to be on the dancefloor again! I'm still on track to graduate in 2007 since I hardly lost any hours when I transfered. Jarrod will probably finish later that same year.
For entertainment, we have friends over or watch movies. Being married AND in college makes finding friends quite a challenge too. Who knew! There aren't many married couples in our circles at school so we have a lot of dating couples over.
And for those of you who keep asking, NO, we are NOT expecting another Richey anytime soon! Every other week or so someone tells me "you're next," as if there's some sort of order I'm supposed to be following. Really, people, that's kind of personal don't you think?!
On another note, I will be turning 21 this Wednesday! Yea! We'll probably eat out or get some dessert with friends, nothing big. It's seems like the last year has been one big celebration, so I'm content to have a small to do. We were blessed with so many wonderful wedding gifts that I had trouble thinking of things for Christmas or my birthday when people asked what I wanted! What a blessing!
Well, that's all for now. Send me your questions; I'd love to give more details. Sometimes it's hard to think of what people would want to know about us.

I'm so glad you are enjoying married life and both of you are still in school! Keep up the good work and support each other. Keep us up to date on your dancing, too. I'm so glad you're dancing. On the friends front, I think that's something we all have to face. Something changes when we get married... maybe its just that the two people are so intent on each other that our friends just sort of naturally back off, even when we don't want them to. But give it some time and things will turn around. Besides, you guys are so busy, I don't know how you both don't just pass out when you walk in the door at night! And yep, you should post some pics of the digs (and maybe you guys, too!) I'm glad you're online. If you want, you can check out my blog: Lee Ann's blog
although, its been kinda depressing lately... I'm also on Xanga: Lee Ann's Xanga blog
and its probably no better, but you know, they're like my life notebook right now... (remember, its AlWAYS good to write!!)

Like LeeAnn, I'm so excited to hear from you and I'm dying to see pictures as well.

Things are good here in Baton Rouge. My 7th hour class is just starting (it's my yearbook editorial staff). I've finally got a group that I can somewhat compare to you guys. I still wish I could go back and have you and Jarrod on a staff AND have the knowledge that I have now. That would have rocked! Anyway, I've got a Blogger is http://sonphlourseeds.blogspot.com/
and my Xanga Site is http://www.xanga.com/Sonphlour
