An average day in our life kind of looks like this.
Charles gets up, eats his big bowl of cereal, showers and gets ready for school. He heads out to take the 15 minute walk to school to take classes to finish his Masters of Accounting degree. He's been anxiously waiting to finish off this semester so we can get out of the frigid cold and migrate to our natural habitat of warmer weather. He's also taking his first Biology class ever, BIO 100, that GE class that he's left til his last semester at BYU. He's busy with projects and cases and homework assignments, but comes home in time to play some PS3 games before dinner is ready.
Kim gets up, puts in her contacts cause otherwise she'd be blind, showers and gets ready for the day. Instead of putting on dress pants and heels, she wears Nike shoes, sweat pants, and a hoodie to go to work. She makes sure not to forget her watch and whistle, and she drives to Wasatch Elementary to work as a PE teacher. She teaches rambunctious 1st through 4th graders PE in Chinese for the Chinese immersion program. So while most people are working on their computers at work, Kim is playing volleyball and hockey games with these little ones. She comes home, tired and sometimes with a raspy voice from so much yelling, to relax a bit and think about what to whip up for dinner.
The after dinner routine consists of Kim packing food for the next day lunch and cleaning the table while Charles dutifully washes the dishes. The rest of the night consists of Charles completing homework assignments and watching YouTube videos like Ryan Higa and WongFu Productions. Kim will read a book (some recent ones have been The Help, The Time Traveler's Wife, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan..) or watch an episode or two of the current TV show she has been following (ie, Once Upon a Time, Downton Abbey, Modern Family..) Sometimes they will end the night with a few games of Super Smash Bros before getting ready for bed and getting ready for another day.
Our lives are simple. But things will change soon! Stay tuned...
