So the time has come for me to go back to school at BYU. There are so many mixed feelings with the decision I've made to go back. I feel very excited to be going back to school to finish what I started. It gets me one step closer to becoming a lawyer like I've always wanted to do. The university's law school is ranked in the top 50 in the US. Ever since I was a little girl I've known that I wanted to be a lawyer and I've known that I've wanted to go to the law school at Brigham Young University.
I'm also super nervous about going back to school. I haven't been in school for about a year. But it feels like it's been 5. It's so crazy how time flies and yet it goes so slow. I feel like when I go back to school I'll be so clueless. I still remember some good studying tips I learned during my first year of college. I just hope I'll do much better than I did my first year.
It's been close to 6 months that we've had Langi in our lives and I think I'm more attached to her than she is to me. Langi has some separation anxiety with Peter and me. If one us are holding her and then put her down to go into the next room to get something she goes crazy. She'll cry and cry until we pick her back up. I think I have a real bad case of separation anxiety though. I love going out and spending time with Peter on dates but the minute we get home we both rush to her. I miss her so much when I'm not with her. And being in school for most of the day and not being able to see her is one of the biggest things I am NOT looking forward to in going back to school. I've gotten used to being away from her for a few hours at a time but never more than 4 or 5 hours. During my first year, most of my classes at BYU were 2 hours or more with only an hour in between classes. So I was on campus from 8am to 7pm. Sometimes, I was there longer during test weeks. If that's how my days will be when I go back to school I know I'll have the hardest time adjusting to not being able to see Langi and Peter as much as I do now. But I know if I held off going back to school any longer, I might never go back. I know the time I spend in school will pay off when I'm able to start a real career and make my own hours and spend more time with my family.
In other news, Langi is growing, growing, growing! She's 5 1/2 months now and it's still so unbelievable sometimes that she's really ours. She's so big now that she fits in some 6 months clothes but we've had to get 12 month old clothes for her. Langi's got the chubbiest thighs but it's so cute. She's such a playful little baby. She loves laughing and loves the make faces and make other people laugh. Colors are so mesmerizing for her, especially bright and neon colors. She could stare at a neon colored shirt for hours and be so entertained. It's so funny the little things that interest her. She's definitely a morning person too. Every morning when she wakes up I always look at her and she's all bright eyed and smiles. I'm always so amazed at how much energy she has all day long. The only time I ever see her lose energy is right before bed when she gets real sleepy. It's a lot of work trying to keep up with her but I wouldn't trade it for the world. I do know that when she's starts to crawl and walk and run, it's going to be crazy all day, every day for Peter and me. But, I am so looking forward to it!
These are how my mornings start the days that Peter goes to work :)
She's so playful when she wakes up from her naps
She never forgets to give me my morning kisses
I love to sing, Peter loves to sing and play the ukulele, and Langi's talent...well she loves playing the piano!
Peter and Langi love to watch football together, it's their father-daughter bonding time
My mom gave her a bone to suck on because she was being fussy...and she loved it, and when I threw it away...she got upset with me :( poor baby
