Justin and I are sitting at our kitchen bar both doing homework. Okay, I guess I'm doing homework, becoming familiar with blogs so I can do one as a teacher .. :)
We have now been married for over a month! It's been a blast and yet so busy.
The time has flown by, I still have not officially changed my name, am insuranceless, and we're just starting to send out our thank yous to all those who have been so generous.

So, you may ask, what have we been doing...? --let me update you

Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays:
5:30 am - the alarm goes off!
By 6 am, Justin is working out at Airforce PT, and I'm on my own jog to the temple and back - okay, some mornings I sleep in til 7
By the time Justin gets back from PT, I've showered, read some scriptures, gotten ready or made breakfast
8:00Am - suppose to have eaten breakfast, packed the lunch and be ready to leave the house so as not to be late for our 8:30 classes, eh, but we're definitely late sometimes
Justin has classes all day
I have class at 8:30, then time to study or work at GEAR UP til 11:30

11:30 - We dance together in the Intermediate Western Swing Class! Yep, we're learning some sweet moves and lifts!
12:30 Justin has Airforce class and I head home

The afternoons vary, but we usually meet up around 5, in time to fix dinner, which we take turns they vary by; Mondays = GEAR UP, Flag Football at 5:30 and then FHE, Wednesdays = Melissa's night class from 4-6:30 and Justin's study group from 7-9 or we sometimes skip and go play softball with our ward, and Fridays = catch up with some fun before Melissa goes to Golden Corral

Tuesdays and Thursdays - Sleep in! til 7am on Tuesdays, Thursdays is Melissa's GEAR UP meeting at 7
Institute - Old Testament at 8am
Then off to the Library to study for a bit together -
Melissa has two classes while Justin does homework all day!

Afternoons fairly similar to other days
Depending on school load, some late nights studying at the kitchen bar might happen - like tonight.

We find time to have fun and have really enjoyed the regular and healthy eating we are doing since being married. We feel we haven't eaten this good in a long time. :) Just one of the MANY perks to being married.

Saturdays
Really sleep in!! - most of the time,
Study, do homework,
Try to catch up on life (such as all those things we haven't done), watch football and find fun

Sundays
Church at 9 am - which is good that it gets us out of bed
Enjoy Lunch together
visit family or friends
suppose to be writing thank yous ... hmmm, this turns into other good things
We've started a budget, hung up pictures in our apt, and invited neighbors over for dinner

Then, Monday starts again!

Engineering Lab vs. Hawaii

Image
It's Friday night of Spring Break and we are sitting in the Engineering lab ...... Justin watching March Madness and me blogging.  Some people may think it's a little on the boring side, but I have to say we are both quite enjoying ourselves.  As Spring Break approached we were under the impression that we just might be welcoming our baby boy sooner than later. On March 6th, I was dilated to a 2 and 70% effaced..... the Dr said he could be here in 2-3 days or 2 weeks. Justin and I had a couple of sleepless nights after hearing this. Jumping at any sign of labor -- makes me laugh now.  The days have passed by with few contractions and no real progress. I have to say my emotions have been all over. At times I so want to be done being pregnant and have this little boy in my arms and then the next minute I am soaking up the time Justin and I have left to easily (well 9 months pregnant easily) hop on the motorcycle for a ride up town. After reading, lear...

Nashville, TN - January 30 to February 1

Image
Justin passed his check ride with flying colors and he had a couple days off. So, we took the chance to go to Nashville, Tennessee! Our friends Trevor and Keely Park live there and we thought it would be a fun place to go see. Most of Justin's time off has been spent in Utah with family, which we love, but it was nice to be just the three of us The trip was 5 and 1/2 hours - that's w/o stops. On the way there we made it in 7 hours and on the way back we made it in about 9 hours. Let's just say we're good to not have another road trip for a while. Sam was a champ despite the long time in his car seat.  Our first stop was a science museum - we were there for 3 hours. It was fun for all of us.  These are parachute men Sam could move up and have them fall back down by using pullies.  Sam loved this T-Rex. It moved and made noises. Yes it scared him at first but Justin was good to explain it to Sam. Each time we passed it, which was often, we would be there for ...

Having Twins

Image
For the past month I have had twins! Well, kind of. Leo spends his Monday - Friday from 7:30- 3:30ish at our place and is 1 month younger than Sam. I've never really desired to have twins and I still feel that way, but it has been quite a learning experience and a lot of fun to have our friend Leo join Sam and I. Sam has thoroughly enjoyed having a playmate. I considered the pros and cons as I pondered and prayed about if it was right for our family and the pros weighed out and felt right. I love being a stay at home mom, most days :), and did not want to steer in any direction of not giving my full attention to my kids (right now, Sam) at home. It's so easy to forget the importance of the work at home and desire the success and accomplishments of the world. So easily I can compare my worth to what I bring in money wise or what projects I finish. Being a mom, some days you don't get much of anything "done" even if you feel exhausted at the end of the day, and I ...
