Today is my wife's 21st birthday. Happy Birthday to her. This will be the second birthday I will actually be spending with her. Very special. My only complaint is where her birthday falls. Unfortunately, I'm poor and my financial aid doesn't come in till a little later. So, I'm stuck here feeling a little guilty that I cannot afford anything my wife deserves for her birthday. She's okay with it, but I'm not. I'm trying to figure out the best way to make her birthday special. And I will. I have my plans. And, when I do get some money she will be getting something special.
This will also be the last birthday she will have before the baby comes. Kind of big. Not saying that the baby is a bad thing, but things are going to be different when the baby comes. Our marriage will change and soon it won't just be two of us but we'll be a family. Big things.

That's it, no more class.
until Fall begins. Summer has finally ended for me. The past two weeks have been harder on me than entirety of summer had been. I'm just glad it's more or less over.
Well, first things first, I've moved out of my place at Knight's Circle. Now that we are out of there, I can safely say a lot of things I had wanted to say. First, I've been living there illegally with my wife. Knight's Circle is an apartment complex just for students and charges rent on a room to room kinda deal. So, a 4 room apartment goes for $545 a month for each room. I was there for year before I got married. I couldn't get rid of the lease so we stayed there. And that place sucked! Maintenance came in almost every week because of remodeling, which blew because they came at inopportune times. The fire alarms were tested regularly and went off early in the morning while I tried to sleep. Overall, the management of the place was terrible. I pity people who have to stay there because it's the best that can be done. Sure, it is a good deal but there has to be something out there that's better. But, I moved out of there last week with my wife to a house ran by a nice fellow. Steve - my friend - stays here as well. Like 180, this house is far better than anything Knight's Circle offered. Nice and quiet with no loud neighbors.
But now, I have to worry about a few more things. My parents can no longer afford to put me through college. So, as I keep trying to find a job, I have to take out loans to pay for things like rent and the like. It's not the time for my wife to visit the doctor more often and that's a little taxing. It's getting a little harder balancing everything. Though, it is easier now that we're content in our new living arrangement.
I'm just glad classes are over for the time being. I had a grand total of 40 pages to write in the past two weeks for just two classes. That, regular class, moving, and taking my wife to the doctor every so often felt like I was spreading myself just a little too thin. But, that's over and I made it through.
