First weekend apart....

So last weekend was the first time Lee and I have been apart since we've been married. Besides each of us having the bed to ourselves for a night we didn't really enjoy it :) I went to Wyoming for my cousin's baby blessing, and Lee went hunting with his friend Cody. This is a picture of him during the excursion! I'm pretty sure this was Lee's first time on a horse (needless to say he was regretting that decision later) He was pretty sore and tired by the time he got home....and they didn't see a thing. Sad day! The other picture here is just a cute one of Lee I took when he was on the couch :)

Happy Birthday Lee!!

For the big 2-6 we headed down to Utah for some fun. Both of our cars were not working well at the time, but since we had non-refundable reservations we rented a car for the weekend! It was nice to drive a nice/new car for a bit. We stayed at a nice suite and ate out at the Mayan and Joe's Crab shack! We got to see some friends and watch conference in our awesome hotel room (that had an amazing breakfast by the way) We also went to a Howie Day concert, but we only caught the end of it due to horrible traffic :( Sad day for Lee! He was a spoiled boy, he got giftcards and money from family, and I bought him the .22 rifle he wanted! We had a fun trip!

Married life two months later...

So here are my notes on marriage and things I've discovered about myself thus far:

1) Compromise does not have to be a four letter word but sometimes is.

2) I really am as stubborn as people have been saying for years (thanks mom and dad).

3) I never realized how much video games drive me crazy.

4) I have more characteristics of my mother in me than I knew existed (not a bad thing, just kinda funny :).

5) I can NEVER make up my mind and drive Lee crazy.

6) No matter what happens, it's unbelievable how much your love for someone grows everyday. Especially when they do sweet things for you like the dishes, laundry and cooking.

7) It's a huge and frustrating eye opener when things don't work out (like cars start crapping out on you) and you have to start saving up to pay for it.

8) I always thought I'd get tired of someone when I have to live with them 24-7, but I don't. I actually even miss him when I'm just at work.

9) Hormones suck and I feel bad for men for having to put up with women....first time ever

10) I always wondered why couples disappeared when they got married...but it turns out it makes perfect sense. You already have a built-in hang out buddy at all times.

11) Most of all...Life is good and I'm pretty darn lucky that someone puts up with me :)

We finally got married :)

We were married on July 30th 2009, it was an awesome experience, but we're both glad that stress is over :) Now on to the rest of our lives...
