Marriage isn't Hard... Sometimes.

I've learned a lot of things while being married. (Look at us on our honeymoon, so cute) I've learned that two people use SO MANY DISHES, that I love hugs, and that sleeping is a lot better when you each have your own blanket. I've also learned that everyone tells you marriage is hard. I'm not going to tell you that it's hard... but I'm also not going to tell you that it isn't. Marriage is how you choose to make it. Lucky for me, Tanner happens to be really good at making it easy. (Tanner's really good at a lot of things.) It's easy because he forgives and forgets. Immediately. Always. No matter what. It's easy because on hard days he still thinks life is good and our marriage is great. It's easy because he looks for blessings instead of dwelling on disappointments. It's easy because he's willing to go with the flow and readjust plans as necessary. It's good because he is ALWAYS positive. I, on the other

May Update

We're officially moved into our apartment in South Jordan, we went on a cruise the first week of May, and now we've just been settling into a summer routine. Oh, summer. I am a very antsy person so I usually get bored of summer about 3 weeks in... but I'm trying to enjoy the relaxation of it all because I'm sure that once I start student teaching I'll be dying for a break. Anyway, this summer I'm actually working from home for the job I had in Logan with The Lawn Doctor. I basically sit on my couch all day and answer phone calls. (Living the dream haha) However, when it's slow (which is fairly often), I have quite a bit of free time. This free time has been used to keep the house (somewhat) clean, read, watch a lot of YouTube videos ( This  one was very entertaining. Also it made me miss This is Us so much!), and write this blog post haha. So, here are some things I've been doing/thinking lately!  Earlier this week I started reading some teach

How's Married Life?

Image
Tanner and I have been married for almost eight months now, so we're practically experts (no, we're definitely not). And the first thing anyone asks when they see us is "How's married life?" It's easy to answer "So good!" because it really is so good. But also there are days that aren't so good and I want to remember this time in my life forever, good and bad. And I don't want my kids or my sisters to think they're crazy if someday they're annoyed with their husband. So. How is married life? Things I love about being married: -Tanner. He is all things that I wish I could be. It seems like every area I lack, he makes up for 100 times over. He is kind, patient, passionate, hard working, energetic, positive, smart, over achieving, funny, and pretty much all other good qualities you can think of. He loves me so much and I'm so grateful for that. He has never once gotten mad at me, he's kind and loving and understanding wh
