Well I didn't do very well with the whole "I'm going to update my blog" thing. Now almost one year later, here I am to try again. Round 2! It's crazy to think that I've now been married a full year, the time has flown by so fast. It was a really great summer this year though, being married is the greatest thing ever. We've had lots of adventures such as sailing (of course), fishing, camping, swimming, IFly, drive-ins, playing with horses, and don't forget our house which is kind of like a zoo. Jon teased once that we should charge admission. As of right now we have 3 snakes, 2 ducks, and a cat. It's really not that bad, it is quite fun really. Plus our duck Bruce Willis has recently started laying eggs, which adds even more excitement to our lives! We will see how duck eggs compare to chicken eggs, one thing is for sure, they are a lot smaller!
Highlights of the last year would be that I graduated from Weber State with my B.S. degree! It is so crazy being graduated, but I LOVED not having to sign up for classes this fall, and loved not paying tuition. It feels like one really long summer though! I've been really busy though, so it's not like I am enjoying all this "free time." or anything. I did an internship this summer and they offered me a part time job down there. So every other day I get to work at an equestrian center where I work with mustangs, yup that's right, I have the best job ever! I love horses and have since I was a little girl, but I didn't ever have many opportunities to be around horses except at fairs and the rare trail ride, so this is like a dream come true. It gives me a good break from working in an office too.
Being married one full year to the greatest husband ever would be another highlight for sure. :) endure with me while I brag a second with my "why my husband is the greatest list."
Reason 1. My husband does the dishes. (he knows I rreeealllllly dislike washing dishes, so he does them for me 99% of the time)
2. He washes and waxes my car to make it look pretty. (This used to not be on the list, I didn't really understand the whole point of spending 26 hours washing, waxing, buffing, and drying a car by hand, really it takes 5 minutes to go through the drive in washer. But now I am becoming very appreciative of it... most days)
3. He mows the lawn every Tuesday. ( The mower is a push one that doesn't drive itself and we have a hill along the whole side of our house, so this is really, really great.
4. He appreciates my cooking and eats everything I make. ( This always make me feel so good, because he has not once complained about anything that I've made, this builds a girl's confidence in her cooking so she can become more adventurous and try to make things other than spaghetti and hamburger helper evey other day.)
5. He ALWAYS opens the car door for me. (It is the greatest having him open the door for me, granted I had to be trained to wait and be patient for him to open the door, but now sometimes when I am alone I forget to open the door for myself and sit and just wait!)
6. He is very caring, sweet, and loving, he always is trying to make sure that I am happy.
7. Speaking of which, he makes me laugh every single day! Sometimes even when I don't feel like laughing. Tickling should be against the rules on Mon, Wed, and Thursdays! Some days my ribs just need a break.
8. He let me get ducks! (Well he didn't make me take them back at least ;-) and they are super cute!)
9. He sends me a text every morning. (There is nothing better than being told every morning how beautiful you are, especially when you know he saw your crazy bed head right before he left.)
and finally #10 He loves me as much as I love him, which I know is a whole super lot!
