I know, I know. It's been forever since I posted and I need to catch up. It's hard to find the motivation when there's actually stuff going on such as the holidays....even if that was a month ago. BUT we've been busy.
-We spent Christmas with my ENTIRE fam in Woodruff this year.
-We stayed in Woodruff for a couple days, and had birthday dinner and took family pictures.
-I got sick on the 26th and stayed that way until the 2nd.
-I turned 23 on Dec. 28th, and my sweet hubby took me to dinner and temple square to see the lights, but not for long because I felt like I was either going to pass out or throw up or both, so we went home and stayed in bed all night.
-Andrew got sick about the 29th, and stayed that way til about the 2nd.
-So we spent New Years at home sick until about 11:45, when my hubby insisted we load up in the car (me in PJs of course) and drive up to Legacy Bridge to watch the fireworks at midnight. We got there about 11:58, stayed til they ended at about 12:03 and then drove home and got back in bed. Definitely not my worst New Years though. Last year I flew up to Seattle for Andrew's 25th birthday, and we spent new years at the space needle, but he didn't even kiss me at midnight. Let me reiterate that, I bought a ticket and flew up there to spend a whole week with his entire family, and he didn't even kiss me at midnight. It seems really funny now, but it sure wasn't at the time lol. But that definitely wasn't my worst new years either.
-Andrew turned 26 on new year's day as well. For some reason 26 just seems SO much older than 25.
-We of course were in bed sick still and didn't celebrate his birthday for a few days.
-Oh I don't remember if I mentioned that Andrew and I both finally graduated on December 17th, and we got our diplomas in the mail just yesterday. Yay!
-Andrew also started a new job at the first of the year. He got promoted from clinical study assistant to study coordinator in the GI department at the U, as far as I know he seems to really be enjoying it. It does suck that he's working full time now and I'm home all day, but it's awesome not having homework and getting to hangout in the evenings. Still no job for me, but I'm feeling like something will happen soon. I don't mind being at home so much anymore. I've become pretty good at keeping myself busy and productive and entertained all at the same time.
-Andrew got us season opera tickets for my birthday, so we went to Hansel and Gretel a couple weeks ago at Capital Theatre, and we get to go to Little Women next month, I'm so excited!
-Lastly, Monday (February 7th) marks our 6 month anniversary. I have mixed feelings about it. By which I mean, that it's hard to remember before we were married, because I was so busy for literally YEARS and never had time to breath; at the same time though, I can't believe I've gotten to spend every spare second with Andrew for the last 6 months. I still get so excited to see him when he comes home from work, and I still think about him constantly and feel very much in love. I keep waiting for the exciting newness of it all to wear off, but it just hasn't yet. Maybe after we've spent a whole year of holidays and stuff married, then it won't all feel so new and exciting. I'm pretty skeptical about that though. It still amazes both of us every day that we can spend so much time together and not get sick of one another. I think Andrew is the absolutely only person (definitely only boy) on Earth for whom that is true. After spending nearly every day together for what is just about 2 years now, I keep waiting to get sick of him, and I just haven't yet. Obviously, I hope it never happens, but I think at some point it's bound to right?
My new years resolution is to take more pictures, because we don't really have any at all since we've been married, and only a handful from our dating days. So for now that's all, and if I can dig up the camera I'll post some family and holiday pictures later on today. Like I said, I'll try to be better about pictures this year.
