Astronomy, sniffles, and marriage

Over the last week a few things have happened. Nothing terribly thrilling but I thought I would take a break from homework and share. O yes, homework. I started my online classes last Thursday (the 24th) and have already in week one sat in front of my computer for about 15 hours typing posts, responding to posts, timed quizzes (my forte....not), and mainly aimless busywork. The worst part is that these classes are not even classes that are exciting or interesting information: Astronomy, Geology, and American Literature. I did, in my Astronomy class, learn that there is going to be a total solar eclipse on the 11th of July which I actually think is pretty cool. If you wanna know more about it and when it is specifically here is the website:

In other news, I developed a lovely cold which left me completely glued to a tissue box, humidifier, and lots of salt water. This is courtesy of my Dad who had it last week. I, however, can't kick things quite as quickly as he can. Thankfully I don't get colds very often so this should be my one for the year.

I have two good friends getting married in the next few months; Jenna is getting married in August and Chelsi in October. So there are a lot of wedding plans going on and I am in the process of planning a shower in a month. It's a wonderful time of excitement and it's so crazy to think that I was just doing all of this not six months ago. Jeffrey and I celebrated our six month anniversary on the 28th of June! I was sad that he was not here to actually celebrate it WITH me but he was able to send me a text from the water sending me his love =)

I hope that this finds you all well. Have a wonderful 4th of July with family and friends!

Blessings~SheriLynn

tears

I wouldn't say that I am an overly emotional person.  I have always thought that I am pretty well in tune with them and they rarely get the better of me in situations.  My logic is usually able to balance things out. Yesterday, I was watching a show and there was a ballet scene featuring one single dancer on the stage.  She radiated strength, passion, and was so full of life.  It was so incredibly beautiful and as silly as it sounds, it brought tears to my eyes. When I was younger, I can remember my Mom getting teary eyed over everything.  We could be watching a movie or tv show and she would be wiping her eyes over a beautiful song, reuniting of a family, a piece of music, anything.  I remember always thinking that it was so silly.  Call it genetics, but I now do the same thing.  Maybe it's growing up and being more secure in who I am, but it happens, often.  I am usually able to feel it coming on and quickly distract myself ...

Alaska Updates from Jeffrey

The following updates have been sent by letter to me (Sheri) from Jeffrey in Alaska. I will be taking parts of his letters-with his permission of course-and filling you guys in on what he has been up to. 6.16 "The trip has been nice so far. I couldn't sleep hardly the first night. I stayed up and watched the fading red skyline as we chased the sunset west. John's grandson Max is really enjoying the trip too. He reminds me of Zoe and Halle." (our nieces) "He puked a few times last night...poor kid. Still chipper though. The inside passage is beautiful from what I've seen. It's alot like the islands at home. My bunk is a quaint quarter on the bow. I only have about 2 feet of clearance above my head. I hope I don't wake up too fast! IF I bump my head, I'll just laugh and think of how you would make fun of me." 6.18 "Upon arriving in Alaska my attention is commanded by the innumerable mountains that are scattered across my vision. ...

love.

Today is valentines day (in case the stores and advertisements didn't clue you in on that). On my drive to work I started thinking about what exactly valentines day means to me. Some people argue that it is a day for expressing love to all your dear friends and family. While still others believe it is simply about the romantic love between a couple. I'm not sure I feel strongly one way or the other. Other than elementary school, I have never been one to buy valentines and candy for everyone. I shoot a few texts out and feel a little extra "lovey" all day but that's about it. I never dated anyone before Jeffrey so I never had a special someone to share the holiday with either. Usually all my girlfriends would get together and celebrate singleness. It was never really a big deal to me. Now that I'm married, however, I am really "feeling the love". Jeffrey and I don't get carried away with it or anything (I would hope that we wouldn't sh...
