Little girl...you're in the middle of the ride!

Could the married life be any better? I submit that it cannot! Josh is my best friend in the world! Every day is like another adventure in the greatest book we are just writing as we go! Sometimes I feel like we are children going on our adventures in the woods with our puppy...other times I feel like we have been married for 100 years and we know everything about each other and are still crazy in love. Either way every day I still get butterflies and melt when he kisses my forehead. He supports me in my crazy ideas, spontaneous cravings, and activities.

However...sometimes I can't help but wish we were both graduated from college, buying our own house, and living our happily ever after. Then I remind myself that we ARE living our happily ever after. Jimmy Eat World quotes it perfectly "Little girl...you're in the middle of the ride!"...and I realize this IS life. This is what I have looked forward to, isn't it? Being married to my best friend...staying up late eating popcorn and watching movies, building forts, pillow fights, and being able to have that one person you can run to and confide in. We have only been married one month and I already feel like time is going too fast. I don't want to miss one moment of our lives together...and yet it moves oh to quickly. So here is a recap of our past 5 weeks of marriage :)

                                                                     Our first night home dinner

                                                       Slept on the floor for like a week :)

                                                                And we had to eat out of our cake pans...and share a bowl of eggs because we didnt have dishes....haha

                                       

                                                 Finally we got a nice comfy heavenly soft bed :)

                                                      First 4th of July married :)

                                               I put a pool in our living room

                                              Sommers family reunion at Bear Lake :)



All in all....this has been the best 5 weeks of my life and I wouldn't trade one second of it for anything in this world :)

The Haircut

So Josh REALLY needs a haircut. Really its not that bad. He's still in the missionary mode where anything below a buzz is way to long. So, he asked me to cut his hair. There was one point a few months ago where I did cut his hair. But it was with dog clippers...they weren't cutting....and Josh ended up looking like he got into a fight with a lawnmower. But either way he thinks I can do better. I don't understand the trust this boy has in me..but whatever. So today i'm looking up tutorials on interest trying to figure out the best way. I think we are going to do it with scissors...we'll see how this turns out in the end :)

Sun, Love, Family.

Well...we were able to go to our Sommers family reunion for a few days. It was really fun. They rented a house up at bear lake (which is only like an hour away, which is super nice). We took a tent and pitched it in the backyard. We crashed pretty early on Thursday but Friday we woke up early and got ready and went to Bear Lake for the day. It was AWESOME! I don't know how many of you have been to Bear Lake...but you can pretty much just walk out into the middle of it without the water ever going above your head (which is my kind of swimming). Macy really liked it too. We had a lot of fun. The water was nice and cool. The sun was out and hot. There was no wind. The water was perfect and blue. It was awesome. I am dying to go back already!

So many big decisions..

It's official. I'm terrified to be an adult. Things get all real and scary once you're married and completely broken away from your parents. We found a house in Rexburg to rent and it's really nice and we have prayed about it and feel really good. But...ITS SCARY! We are signing our life away on a lease. We're forking out the first months rent and deposit. We're trying to make decisions that are going to effect the rest of our lives! It's stressful. Gray hairs coming on? Quite possibly.
Why can't everything just be simple and fine and dandy? Cause I got to admit...that would just be stupendous.

In my defense everyone, including myself warned him before we even got married...

Well...Even though people have warned him, including myself...my sweet husband still didn't know what he was getting himself into. Every single day he tells me "I will never have a boring day being with you". I keep this man on his toes! Today when he got out of work he called and I said "When you come home just don't be mad!" He got real worried really quick. He said "I'll be home soon....."
I wish I would have caught the look on his face when he walked in....This is what he walked into...

                                     
                                      

The funny part of the story was me getting the pool. I got really bored today. And as you can see I really had no desire to clean our house. So I sat on the couch for a few minutes and decided I was really hot. So I decided we needed a swimming pool. I went into town to TrueValue. I got a tarp and pool. The lady was looking at me weird but didn't ask questions. Then after I went out to the car and attempted to put the pool into the back seat I realized it wasn't going to fit. So I went back inside to buy rope. I tied that pool down as tight as I could to the roof. It was wrapped through my windows like 10 times. After I was done tying it down I was really proud of myself...until I tried opening the door to the car to get in. I realized I had tied shut all the doors. I had spent the last 10 minutes tying up the pool and didn't want to untie it. So I (literally) dove through the drivers side window to get into the car. After a few minutes of giggling and getting myself upright I looked over and noticed this girl staring at me like I was nuts. I just laughed and drove away. I went 20 mph while I had my hand out the window holding down the pool for extra support. Unfortunately it was windy so I ended up hanging out the window with 2 hands holding the pool that was now flying away while I controlled the steering wheel with just my knee. I was only going like 10 mph by now so no one get mad! Anyway. Finally I lost the pool. Luckily I was in a deserted area so it didn't hit anyone. I tried getting out of the car only to remember that I was tied in. So I climbed out of the window head first, landed on the ground, and by this point I was mad. So I folded that pool into practically a square and shoved it in the back seat. Luckily it didn't crack because it was so warm it just bent nicely :) I got it home and spent the next hour filling it up with a cooking pot. It was a lot of trips from the sink to the pool. Finally Josh walked in to his wife sitting in a pool in the middle of the living room. He didn't know what to think at first but then started laughing hysterically. We spent the next few hours playing with our bath toys and watching TV while we hung out in our pool. It was an awesome day. 

For those of you who are going to say "That is a horrible idea, you could ruin the carpet! etc" because I know there are a few out there. The tarp was 100% water proof. We did not splash at all. And the pool is now out of our living room and there is not one drop of water anywhere :) So don't be upset! 

Today was AWESOME!

My Husband The Felon

Well....
Last week we got a letter in the mail saying there was a warrant out for his arrest. A week before our wedding Josh got into a little fender bender in Utah on a Sunday afternoon as we were parting our ways to go home. He got a ticket and we never paid it (with the stress of everything it was the last thing on our minds). Well the same day we got the letter in the mail stating he had a warrant out he got pulled over. The cop was a grade A jerk. Like honestly...I know cops are supposed to be tough and all...but this guy acted like he was gonna shoot us. No joke. This cop was mental. So after he yells at us for 3 minutes (oh p.s. we got pulled over because Josh wasn't driving in a straight line because we were laughing. He was maintaining a lane...but he slowly veered to the right and the cop got mad) so anyway. He takes Josh's license to go run it and i'm in our car like "I love you Josh. I promise as soon as I can i'll come bail you out of jail....Don't worry i'll tell your mom you love her" haha. And Josh looked like he was going to pass out. His face was all white and he was gripping the steering wheel for dear life. 2 seconds later the cop came back and i'm thinking "This cop is such a jerk there's going to be no mercy. My husband is going to jail". But instead the cop said in a VERY rude voice "Well I have to go help someone that is stranded. Consider yourselves lucky I didn't write you up for every thing in the book". Ughhh. He made me so mad. Is there a place you can go complain about jerk off cops??? It's not that we got pulled over it's the way he treated us. He talked to us like we were white trash scumbags.
Anyway...
We got the ticket paid and everyone is happy and dandy now and my husband no longer has a warrant out.

A Bed, A TV, and a Vacuum!

So there is this tiny store here in Malad called "Thomas Electric". They have this system where people in Malad can go put money there for a couple getting married..and then we go pick out what we want at the store. Its kind of like registering backwards?
So we went in today to see how much we had gotten. We got enough to get a bed set (The nicest mattress they had, box spring, and frame). We also got the nicest vacuum they had (I LOVE it........I also need a life). And we got a 50 inch plasma screen HDTV. After the vacuum and the bed I asked if we could just put the rest of the money into our savings account for college...they didn't go for that so I looked around to see what else we could get (we still had a ton of money left in our account by this point). So after looking at nightstands, dressers, couches, etc. I couldn't find anything I loved...then i walked into the back and saw this monstrous TV and knew Josh would just die. So I got it. What else was I supposed to get? The problem is I don't feel like I can say anything about it because I don't want people to think we took the money people were generous enough to give us to go buy some plasma flat screen instead of something practical. So please...nobody get the idea we wasted our money away. We just didn't know what else to get there. So my life is currently complete. A VERY comfy bed that is off of the ground! YAY! (We have been sleeping on the ground for the past few nights), a massive TV that has amazing picture and hooks up directly to WiFi so we can watch netflix and Hulu on it :) and a nice vacuum. Now I have a nice clean house :)
And of course don't forget my awesome husband who goes to work every single day to earn money to support our small little family! I am one lucky girl :)
Goodnight world!
