Once upon a time...


Now then, where to begin… what is that popular phrase used to begin fairytales? Oh, yes. Once upon a time there lived a man and a woman who were attending the same university. And little did they know that their lives would intertwine and never be the same again. This man and woman became best friends. And yes, they fell in love. They were married for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple. They set up their castle and are living happily ever after…

I bet you were expecting me to write The End, well I am sorry to disappoint you. Enough of this third person storytelling though. This story is in fact, my own. Matt and I were sealed almost a month ago (on January 14, 2012), which means that we will be together even after we die. Just like Westly says in the Princess Bride, "Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while." See, we believe that marriage and families can last FOR-EV-ER (I hope you said it in your head like they do in the Sandlot, because that is what I was going for). Pretty neat, huh?

Anyway, here is an update on the goings on of Matt and I:
  • Matt and I are both students at Brigham Young University-Idaho in Rexburg, ID. Matt is studying CIT (Computer Information Technology) and I am studying Elementary education.
  • We are both off-track this semester (a.k.a. not taking classes). We are both on the Spring-Fall track and go to school April through December.
  • Right now Matt is working on campus as a Web Developer/Designer for the Continuing Education/Nursing Department. I work at a call center called, Opinionology (glamorous, I know).
  • I would say that we are both adjusting to married life quite well. We have talked multiple times about how natural the transition has been, which seems strange to us. It is strange that we don’t feel strange, if you follow that.
  • I am having fun setting up our little studio apartment and I absolutely LOVE having our own place. He does too.

Well that should be enough for a first post, eh? Thanks for listening, er… reading, I mean.

Love always,
