Well we just past the 4 month mark and we're quickly on our way to 5 months. It really seems like it's been a lot longer than that! It's funny to think that just over a year ago Jon took me on our first date. Which if you haven't heard that story... ask me. It's quite entertaining. A lot has happened in those 4 months and it's crazy to think of everything else that will happen in the future. I guess that's really why we should write in our journals... I mean I have a hard enough time remembering all the great memories I've had with Jon just over the last year or so... I can't imagine how it'll be in 20 or 30 years. Jon and I have been having a lot of fun together and I really appreciate the fact that he's willing to put up with my need to "beautify the house". My mom sent out a bunch of cute decorations with Kim when she came to visit last and I had to put them up immediately.
Probably the biggest news as of late is that we got a calling. We're the marriage and family preparedness sunday school teachers. Kinda crazy to think that we're here teaching people how to have a good lasting marriage when we've been married 4 months. I was talking to a girl at church about it today and I said "well I guess we must have some things we need to work on..." and she said that it's probably just the Lord's way of helping us start off on the right foot. She even went on to talk about how it would be nice to have this calling because it would be easier to work on improving your marriage. After hearing that I totally agree. I'm so happy that we're able to grow, learn and teach together. I've already seen improvements in our daily marriage together just in the 2 weeks that we've had the calling...
Well of course school has started again and we're both fairly swamped but I'm happy that we have the preparation of the lesson to look forward to. Over the summer we got to do yard work. I thought I'd hate it but I ended up loving the fact that Jon and I had a goal and a project to work on TOGETHER. But it's now midnight and I have to be up early... school is definitely back in. So I'm off to bed. Just wanted to let whoever is out there that we're doing alright.
