Goodbye Summer, HELLO School

8 MONTHS LATER AND I'M BACK!

I cannot believe it's been 8 months since I've written on here! And there I was telling you all that I wasn't going to be that person that just forgets about my blog... well, I guess I lied.

BUT,
I'm back, and I'm staying.

I just started school back up and I am taking a marriage class. I'm super excited about it. We are to make a blog to share facts and our beliefs about the importance of marriage, so why not use this one?! I look forward to all that I'm going to learn this semester and hope that I can make a difference in someone's life through the things that I share. Feel free to leave comments or ask questions if you have any!

One thing I know for sure is that marriage is ordained of God. He didn't send us here to earth to get through it on our own, but to find a companion and work through life's struggles with together. Marriage can help us become so much more than we can be on our own.

Keep tuned for more thoughts on marriage as I go throughout the semester!

Since I've been gone for 8 months, here's 8 updates of my life:

1. I have 100% switched to online classes. That's right! That means trying to figure out time management and learning how to teach myself. It's been a challenge, but it's also been a blessing.
2. My twin brother got married in February and now they are expecting a child in November! I am so excited! It's crazy how time flies! But, they live out in Utah so we don't get to see them often :( . Thank goodness for Skype!
3. ...... I GOT MARRIED!!!! Colton and I (my boyfriend I was telling you about in my last post) got married May 27 of this year. He is the most amazing man and I don't know how I got so blessed with him. It amazes me that the Lord led me to be with someone that is so perfect for me. I sure love that husband of mine!
4. We went to the BAHAMAS for our honeymoon! Talk about paradise! We went kayaking and snorkeling in the ocean, got a tour of the area, walked the streets, chilled on the beach, and ate way too much ice cream!
5. Colton and I are now living in Washington, MO, a small town west of St. Louis. Both of our families live close and we feel so blessed to be here. We love it!
6. We have tried to fill our summer with a bunch of fun things. We went to a few Cardinals games, a Rascal Flatts concert, and a Luke Bryan concert. They were all SO FUN and wish summer didn't have to end.
7. I got a job at Engineered Fire Protection. It's a fire protection company and I'm their front desk lady. I answer the phones, do a bunch of paperwork, send out mail, try to keep the plants alive, and all sorts of other things. It's a good job and I really enjoy the people that I work with. I've learned a ton!
8. I love my life. Although it's not always easy, God is so good and I feel so blessed.


Our Happily Ever After!
