The Married Life

So,Brian and I have been married for a little over a year and a half now...boy,how time flies!It hasn't always been pretty or what I might have expected from marriage,but we're doing alright.The wedding in August 2011 flew by way to fast.Our honeymoon had just as many disasters as the wedding planning/day.And our second reception wasn't what I had hoped it to be.But it's easy to only notice the bad if that's all you're focusing on.But when you look at the big picture of things,you're able to find the rays of sun: (1)We actually got married and a lot of family members were able to be there for us, (2)We were given two great things to do for our honeymoon,that way we didn't have to go camping, and (3)Trixie[our car] actually made it moving us across the country,even when we later found out that she shouldn't have made it.So yeah,there are always going to be rough patches and hard things to go through;but as long as you can still find that silver lining to your gray cloud,then there's hope you'll make it through after all.Marrying Brian has been one of the best decisions of my life!And although we weren't able to make it to the temple to do sealings on our anniversary this last year(because I was 7 months pregnant),we were able to get there a day after our semi-anniversary(aka-Valentine's Day 2013) and it was wonderful!It was so nice to kneel across the altar again,holding the hand of my husband and just think about all that has changed for us in the last year and a half...Moving to Colorado,finding jobs,getting pregnant after a miscarriage,and finally having our little E here to love and snuggle and teach things to.I couldn't ask for anything better...And now,E is just over 8 months old,Brian is back to school,and I'm learning the ropes of being a mommy more and more each day!Here's some pictures of what the last year and a half have brought us,and hoping all of the exciting things we have ahead of us.What a ride it will be! :)
