Well folks, it's been a sweet six months since me and my mr. sealed the deal. SIX! If you need a quick refresher on how we met you can read that here. Can you believe it? Time has just flown! Sadly, it's been about that long since I have blogged. But I thought I would write a little update.
Since the last time I wrote, Zach and I have moved! We were initially living in my grandmothers basement (basically free rent really rocked) and it was perfect for us. My aunt and uncle would be returning soon so we decided to just start the hunt of looking for apartments. Can we say over priced much? We had NO idea what we were in for. I mean for Provo and Orem area they were a little crazy. We also wanted to have washer dryer hook ups, and all utilities. We had started looking at a few places but nothing was working out which was fine because we at least had a place. One night as we were driving home we passed a for rent sign. I hadn't seen it on KSL or Rentler so we pulled over and called the number. Long story short we found a great basement apartment that we love! Blessings.
We have also been CRAZY busy with school. Zach does block style classes for diesel technology so it's a lot of information in not a lot of time. So far he is really liking his program! This semester is the semester from Satan himself for me. Ever heard of CAD programming? Well it's actually pretty cool but once you spend 12 hours in the same lab in front of the same (extremely) slow computers, it's not so cool anymore. This class has been a part time job. What about my other classes? Oh yeah, still have those too. Needless to say I'm so ready to be done with the semester and praying I pass these classes with decent grades.
I also just got a new job! I now work for a sculptor as a personal assistant. He is the owner of Big Statues and does custom bronze statues. Random right? It's been a good job so far. And I love looking at all the projects be started, molded, and completed. I took ceramics once. I was pretty terrible. But this guy is really really good.
Since starting the new job I have been able to go from two jobs to one and I finally see that cute husband of mine at a decent hour. We have taken advantage of that by going on Swig dates. Did I mention we are trying to cut back on soda? Well that's not going so well.
Since being married I have been learning how to "wife". Wifing includes cooking, cleaning, heaps of laundry, etc. Now I'm not one to put stereotypes on stuff and I don't think husbands can't do these things, these are just things I have been doing as a wife. Cooking really isn't my favorite thing. I think it would go better if I planned ahead but remember that CAD programming class? Yeah I have no time. So usually it's last minute. I haven't killed us off yet so that a good thing. The cleaning part I really don't mind. Compared to everything else the cleaning is very relaxing.
On a little of a side note: With this new job, I'm trying to boost their social media sites. The other day I was reading article after article about how to get more likes, followers, shares, etc. and article after article talked about how scientifically more likes makes people more happy. Apparently it's a proven fact. And even before reading all of these articles I was thinking about this social media run world we live in. I get so caught up in it sometimes and I think we all do. The other day someone told me that they loved reading my blog and another girl suddenly asked, "You blog?" I was almost embarrassed when she asked to see my blog as it doesn't have the last gadgets and features, isn't of the latest trends and braids (please I can barley do a regular braid), isn't view by thousands upon thousands, and is just my personal little life. But how silly is that? Yes I love to write on my blog of things that are going on in my life. Yes I like to post on Facebook and Instagram of the happiest parts of my life. I will no longer let a number decide my happiness. Social media is such a weird thing and we all hear what I just said a million and a half times but I hope you don't let the numbers mean more to you than what you are posting about. And I would hope that we would all be a little nicer to those who we follow and be positive and loving. Because that's what I think it should be about.
So that's my rant for now. Life is good. Hard and stressful at times but oh so good none the less. Mostly I'm just real ready for some summer time.
Here are some really awesome iPhone pictures of the latest, enjoy! Thanks for stopping by!
