An Update in the Life of Your Beloved

How's married life? It's wonderful. Quit asking me. :)

Brandon and I like the new ward that we're in. Right now we're preparing to gives talks on Sunday. Well, that's a lie, because neither of us has started yet.

So far I am getting pretty good at:
-washing dishes as they get dirty
-regularly picking up the living room/avoiding clutter
-regularly cleaning off the bathroom counter
-keeping the kitchen table clear
-sending back my Netflix when I'm done with them (this is something I have struggled with)

Things I am not so good at:
-folding & putting away laundry
-cooking a real dinner when there are things like chicken strips/bagel bites available
-putting my shoes back on the shoe rack
-emptying/taking out the trash (though I did that one today!!)

Folding laundry is the worst. The WORST. I was never good at it. I hate it.

Brandon is back in school. He's taking an intro to engineering class and a programming class; he's learning how to write programs using C. He even taught me how to make an extremely basic one the other day. It was pretty slick.

Yesterday I stole Maggie from my parents and we went hiking. I've decided I'm going to do more hiking. I'd like to go at least once a week, and get comfortable with it again. Brandon and I talk about going backpacking and doing outdoorsy stuff but I need to get back in the swing of things if that's going to happen.

Anyway, that's pretty much the update. Not much happens anymore once you're old and married and boring.

Guess What?

I need to get better at this blogging thing.

It's Been Too Long

The title of this one makes me want to say "Dahhhling!" which makes me want to watch The Incredibles because I love Edna.

I realized it's been over a month since my last post, which hasn't happened in the history of this blog until just now. But it's going to be short because these fake nails are killing me. Typing with them is so annoying!

So yay! Brandon and I got sealed in the Oakland Temple on November 27, which means I am officially unavailable now. Sorry to disappoint :) We spent that weekend in San Francisco and now are enjoying married life in a one bedroom apartment close to where I work (yay!). So far the most frustrating day was yesterday when I went to social security to officially change my name. I was running around for five hours trying to get it done.

I attempted to make cookie dough last night, which turned out disastrous, but hopefully I'll get better in time. Besides, I can't be worse them Sam, can I? :) The other night I made chicken, too, which also kind of sucked. I think I should just stick to pasta. Boiling water seems to be my forte.

Anywho, my husband just made me a quesadilla because he's amazing and we're about to watch a movie and I keep writing typos because of these stupid nails so I'm done now! I'll post wedding pictures, but they're available at desiredshotsphotography.smugmug.com

Post #70

Last night I fell asleep on the couch and slept for 10-12 hours. I say 10-12 because for the last two I kept waking up and falling asleep again. I haven't gotten up yet except to go to the bathroom, because when I do get up, then it's going to feel like a real day and I don't want it to. I kind of just want to lay here all day.

I'm going to the temple tonight, which is probably why I feel so weird.

Wish me luck!

Hello

Been moved in now for a week, and loving being on my own!!!!!!!
And now I have to wait five more weeks until the wedding! I can't wait until it's over! The only thing keeping me alive these days is having the whole apartment to myself to rearrange and organize as I please :)
