Logan ---> South Jordan

-



We are officially South Jordan residents! This move was a really tough one for me to swallow. It wasn't necessarily the place that I was sad about leaving. (Although I do love Logan... and I'm seriously missing $2 Thursday mini golf!) My sadness was mostly stemming from all of the change that this move signifies.

(We went to Cafe Sabor on our last night in Logan. Because how can you not?)

(Tanner's attire while cleaning our apartment to move out of. I think he was a little ready for our cruise?) 






 I am no longer a college student. I love college. I love the routine of going to class every day, constantly learning new things, being in contact with amazing, smart people every day, going to basketball games, not really having any real responsibility. And now that's pretty much over. I still have student teaching in the fall, so I'm still technically an Aggie, but it still feels like a big step into the real world of waking up early and having a full time job.

Graduating college also means a lot of big decisions are looming. For the past few years I've known exactly what I'm doing. Every August I start classes and every May I get a 4 month break. But now, there are much bigger questions to answer than just what literature elective I'm going to take. Questions like: Am I going to be able to find a teaching job? Where am I going to want to teach? Am I even going to like teaching? (I sure hope so.) How do you actually be a teacher? (You'd think I'd know that by now hahaha maybe college wasn't so helpful after all.) When are we going to have kids? When are we going to buy a house? Where are we going to buy a house? Are we staying in Utah forever?

You know... Anxiety inducing questions for an anxious person like me :)

All that being said, however, the move has gone a lot more smooth than I could have imagined. As soon as we got to our new place I felt so much better about it all. I love our new apartment. It's cute and it's been fun decorating it (and we- well, mostly Tanner- built an Ikea dresser yesterday without any casualties, so that was a big accomplishment.) The only cons are that I am already sore from walking up the stairs to the 3rd floor every day (and I almost lost my mind when my grocery bag split open and all of my stuff was tumbling down the steps!) and there is so much traffic here! But other than that, it's not too bad :) It's just like Tanner always says, everything always works out. Even when I am so sad about something and nervous about change, everything always turns out ok. Somehow that doesn't make any of those above questions any easier to think about, but I'm sure that at the other end of them I'll be saying this same thing. That everything turned out better than I could have imagined.

So... If you have any recommendations for good food down here, let me know! And I've already gone to Target like 5 times so I think I'll survive.

And... nothing cures moving blues like a PUPPY! My family just got Baylie a few weeks ago and she is adorable. Even if she is a psycho.

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?

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
