I worked from 7:30-1:30 today and Taylor had school. We got to have lunch together and now he is off to work until 11 pm and I am off to Salt Lake for an evening of school and homework! This is just where we are in our lives right now and it's okay! We still have lots of fun. I am looking forward to out date tomorrow night. Taylor text me the other day, while he was at work and asked if he could take me on a date, but he will not tell me anything about it... I am learning to like surprises. He is so sweet. I'll blog more later, but wait till you see hear what happened this morning...

I turned in my application for graduation! I am taking 19 credits this semester with 3 classes left to go! Hopefully I can get those 3 classes during the summer, so I can graduate in August with my BS in Human Development and Family Studies. Taylor works Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday 3 pm-11 pm... and I spend all 24 hours and then some doing homework... I don't mind it though. I actually kind of enjoy it. I love to learn. I just don't like my Economics and Consumer Decisions class, which you could see Taylor studying for on an earlier post. He is a huge support and help. I try and get ahead in my classes so I don't have to stress. I am working at the Dental Hygeine College on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. It works out well. I am excited to be done, but then what? On to grad school!?

Some crafts...

Made this cute "Family" picture holder at a Relief Society craft night. I think it is just so cute! Also, made this cupcake wrapper Valentine wreath with my sister-in-laws.

A lucky girl!

Taylor is the best husband. Look at him studying for MY class! I am not very good at math, nor do I like it. Taylor, on the other hand, was determined and stayed up late figuring it out. "Go to bed and I will teach it to you tomorrow" he said. And he did! He got the white board down off the wall and everything! We got it done and did well!

He is quite the handy man as well! Hanging pictures, fixing drawers, and he even went to Lowes and got plywood and built us a little storage shelf! How did I get do lucky?

Just a couple pictures of our place. We are living in Orem. Taylor is at BYU and I am going to U of U. We were originally going to live somewhere in between, but since I am taking most of my classes online and will be graduating in August we decided to find something closer to BYU. We really like our place- It is perfect for us... It has been a lot of fun decorating and organizing. Who would have ever thought two people could have so much junk? But it has been fun. We are so grateful for all the friends and family that have been so generous in helping us get everything we need.

Here is a picture of our front room. Our dungeon, which is starting to look more like an office and our bedroom are works in progress- so we will save those for another day!

We love our green stove! Although... we burnt a lot of food until we realized the temperature was off. I made some brownies thinking I was baking them at 300 degrees and for 25 minutes to be safe and they still were burnt to a crisp. The setting said 300 degrees, but it was really 500 degrees!!

Here goes nothing!

Okay, so I have only created 3 posts in the past 3 months. I am not very good at this blog thing, but I have been inspired to be better! What I really wish was that I were good journal writer, but since I am not and after learning I can print my blog out into a book, I thought I would give this a try! Wish me luck!

Sealed for time and all eternity

December really was an exciting month! We ended 2009 and started the new year getting sealed in the Salt Lake Temple on Monday, December 28th. It was a beautiful day and we are so grateful for the love and support of all our family and friends that shared our special day with us.

I am so in love with Taylor and am so grateful for him. He is such a good friend and is going to be the best husband!
