After school and Anniversary Plans

Hey Friends! We are sorry for the unusually long length of time that we haven't written in this here, our blog. We have been busy, well, I have been busy. I work and Marcus does the house work. This Fall semester better go by quick because It's already taking forever! We want to be done with school so badly!

Our plans for after school:

1. (I am graduating first) Stay home and relax a little bit for the last semester Marcus is at school
2. Head out to grad school in Washington/Oregon where Marcus will get his Masters
3. Live with Mom and Dad Thackeray
4. Work for a daycare/tutor center
5. Marcus will get a career going while we are still living with the 'rents in the basement
6. Save up enough money for a down payment on a house
7. Buy our first home!

Yes, there will be a couple of children in the midst of all these plans, but who's to say what Heavenly Father's plans are?

We are happy and excited for our future. The present is just as lovely though. We mostly do nothing these days because we are poor poor poor married college students. Since Brian, Marcus' brother, has been staying with us, they play video games like all day while I am at work. When I get home we sometimes watch movies, or play more video games. I do not participate usually; only when I am in a Donkey Kong kind of mood. I feel sick most of the time. Let's call it fatigue, for now.

For those of you who didn't know, MARCUS IS THE BEST COOK! So for now, while I am the one bringing home the bacon, he is the one making the bacon (except that we don't usually buy bacon because it is dang expensive.)

This is the Bellagio Hotel. We would LOVE to stay at this five diamond hotel!

Random: Carrots lightly cooked and added to Mac and Cheese is so delicious!

For our first anniversary we are planning on stopping through Las Vegas and staying at a resort hotel for uber cheap. I looked prices up on Hotwire.com and you can get a 4 star hotel for $36/night! Amazing? YES. So, we will do that. Plus there are a lot of free things to do there like the circus at Circus Circus or the Conservatory in the Bellagio. We also thought it would be cool to go to the Pawn shop from a show on History Channel called Pawn Stars. We used to watch that show before we started to have to pay for cable. We will only be there for one night though because we will be journeying our way back to my parent's house in California. We are celebrating Christmas with them this year. We thought it was especially important since our David will only be able to join through the heavens.

We hope you are all doing well and having fun!
XOXO
