I have just finish reading a great book - The Virginian by Owen Wister. Now, I was forced to read this book. I'm taking Western Novels this semester and this was the first book we read. Oh, and it was wonderful. I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes westerns, and anyone who loves a good book. Ok, so that is a broad range there, "anyone who likes a good book," but it truly is such a good book.
I finished reading The Virginian last night. It only took me two weeks to read, but that was rough because I have a million other books to read this semester. (This semester is the semester of reading) We are reading 8 western novels this semester, which averages out to be one book every two weeks. I hope the rest of the books are as good as The Virginian, because reading an enjoyable book does not feel like homework.
Aside from drowning in reading, and being swept away to the West (wait, I'm already in "the West") by the Virginian, everything is going great. Steve is still enjoying his classes, and he has a better outlook on his job. There was a brief period of time a month ago where he really was not that happy about his job. But they bought him a new "toy" at work, and he is excited about using it. I know that this "toy" is a DAQ card and some software to go along with it, but you will have to ask him to explain why he is so excited about his new "toy." Maybe he'll blog all about it one day!
This past weekend Steve and I celebrated our 8 month "monoversary." Can you believe we have been married for 8 months already. I remember this time last year when I was anxiously awaiting June so I could call Steve my husband. And now here we are - 8 months later...and happy as ever. I love being married to him. He is such a great guy.
To celebrate our 8 months of marriage, Steve took me to eat at Japanese Kitchen in Albuquerque. It is a Japanese Teppanaki, where they cook your food at your table. It's a little impersonal because you are seated at the table with 6 other people, but it's wonderful food and it was wonderful to be there with my husband. We went to a restaurant of that type on our Honeymoon, and that was one of my favorite parts of the Honeymoon.
I love being married, and I can say that Steve is enjoying it just as much as I am. It's one of the best things about life right now, and we highly suggest getting married. It's a wonderful experience. And to think, we are only 8 months into it. We have so many years and experiences yet to come!
