four months

Today Rex and I have been married for 4 whole months (long time..I know!!) and it has been fantastic so far! We have gone on some very memorable road trips together. Spent 9 very long (but beautiful) days apart. And grown into the very best of friends. I am so happy we decided to get married when we did..as his original idea for a wedding date wouldn't have been until this month..to think we could have missed out on this special time together!! ;) Anway...mostly just wanted to say that I am very much in love...and that we are going to IKEA tomorrow to buy stuff for our new apartment...hopefully there will be a post in that!

rolo

I am sitting here at my desk (in a very lonely hallway back in the haunted surgery wing) waiting for this day to be over and eating Rolos. No, I do not NEED to eat the Rolos. This is not the point. I am in fact, eating them, and thinking about the last time I did. Rex and I were driving from Utah to Texas on our "honeymoon" and in our snack bag were chips, pineapple pieces, sunflower seeds, and rolos. I am instantly taken back to the moments we shared on that journey and how I was so at ease being with him, but still unsure of my role as a wife. I do not think that I felt the gravity of the situation yet, and was just in a cloud of happiness. ( note: I remain blissfully happy, but the day I FELT like I was a wife had not come). Sitting next to me on that some 24-28 hour trip was a guy that had driven the same said distance to load all of my crap, marry me, and drive me back ..all within a weeks time frame. He was amazing then, and continues to amaze me with his love for me and all of the cute things he does or says throughout the day. I know that even though times of struggle do await us, I am overjoyed that I have a partner to shoulder the burden with me.

drum roll please....

after 3 months of wedded bliss I have finally gotten enough gumption to make a blog about me AND Rex. Every day is an adventure in learning how to be a wife and a partner for me. Sadly, there are no pictures of the endeavor, but as we may be moving into an apartment this next week (we have been living in my parent's spare bedroom) and I can decorate and make a space all our own, perhaps then I will post. Also, as we did not have a wedding/reception of the traditional nature, and have hurt feelings (jk) that you did not recieve an invite/picture. I will hopefully be getting the pictures together and printed, so IF you do want one..let me know. Otherwise, you will have to be happy with ones that get posted to this lovely blog.

Being married is fantastic. Having Rex by my side everyday no matter what goes on is pretty awesome. He is so loving and caring and takes care of me. The other day, while being insanely frustrated that he could not get our pump working after the power cut off our water supply, I was sick on the couch with gross girly cramps (*ATTENTION* this means for those who had their doubts..I am not preggo) and he came inside and got me a sprite, crackers, tucked me in with a blanket (yes it was 95 degrees outside and super humid, and yes i was cold and shivering) and sat with me and made me feel better. I love him. Figuring out how to make every day count and finding the balance in our lives is a challenge sometimes, but I love it. Hopefully I will be more diligent in posting and will have pictures and anecdotes of married life forthcoming. A quick shout out to Cassie (and Craig and Riley) and Lauren (and Steve)..Welcome to Texas..hopefully we could meet up at some point (think IKEA Cassie...) and have a grand time in this super hot, but great state!! <3
