We Survived

Well the last 4 months me and ben have both been in school... and the last 2 weeks has been pretty stressful! I had 5 exams and 3 papers to complete and Ben had all his finals for his courses and his provincial exam. Needless to say I was a pretty grumpy girl, but am very lucky at how well Ben handled me. Ben was doing his schooling at SAIT for his first and second year plumbing apprenticeship and I was in school for my third year of my degree. Ben wrote his second year provincial exam on friday and I finished my semester today! It is a pretty big milestone because this year has only brought us close to our goal of moving to the mountains! One day we will be living in a house amongst trees and mountains instead of living amongst concrete and skyscrapers. We'll be able to look outside our window to see a lake and forest instead of cars and homeless people. But in order to get there we both have to put our time in, I have 12 courses left in my economics degree which i'll do in 3 semesters and then hopefully I'll be accepted in to teachers college at Selkirk college in Castlegar. I'm also planning on applying to UBC, Simon Fraser and Okanagan. Ben has 4 months left of school to get his 3rd and 4th year schooling done and in the meantime it's just learning as much as he can to become the best plumber around! But we have survived the last few months of school, and it has been interesting. Instead of going on skiing dates me and ben went on homework dates to the library. Although that's definitely isn't as exciting as skiing at least we were together. We even had our regular table on the 7th floor of the library.
Well, now that this chapter of school is over for both of us... It's back to work for Ben, and it's off to Peru for me! I am actually getting really excited now! 4 sleeps and I'll be in a whole new world! Then it'll be back to our summer adventures together!
