First try

So I thought I'd try out this blog stuff. I don't know who will really read it but it's here anyway.

Brian & I are still madly in love with each other & falling more each day. I couldn't be happier, and I'm not exaggerating. Being married to Brian is exactly how I always pictured marriage should be. We still have stresses, like school, and work, and money, but we just know that we're going through it together so it makes it that much easier.

We've settled into our home in Bountiful. We're staying in my grandparents house while they're in St. George. It's only through October or so, but it'll be nice to save that money. It's a pretty big place for newlyweds, we know, but we're hardly ever home to enjoy it.

School's ended for the semester and we're back to working full time. Long days but good money. I'm still working at the insurance company, for the same agent I've been with for almost two years now. I like it most days and it's really flexible so that's nice. Brian's working at the bike shop still, and he loves it. He's always wanting new parts for his bike though, but he's really good about resisting the temptation.
I just had my birthday and I got the day off and so did Brian so we got to spend the day together. Brian got me a mountain bike! I'm going to be a biker! Brian's way excited and I am too. I've never been really good about exercising, so maybe this will help.

My sister is getting married in less than a month. I know, I know. She's only 18, you say. She met this guy the first day she got to college, you say. Planning this wedding and marriage has stressed my entire family to the max, you say. I know all this. But she seems to really love him, and she wants to get married. So we'll pull together as a family and support her and hope for the best.

Brian's brother has put in his papers and we're waiting for his mission call any day now. Brian is so proud and we're both very excited for him.

My cousin is getting married in two months and she's completely ecstatic. He's an awesome guy and we totally approve. She's getting married two weeks before her step-brother (and my cousin) leaves on his mission. That'll be really exciting too. He's a stud.

And finally, in the big news department, my cousin and his wife are having a baby. Yes, this is the same cousin that just got married at the end of December. But they're so cute and so happy. I'm way happy for them. I couldn't do it. I'd have to be pregnant right now to keep up with them and that's just not gonna happen. I've only got two more semesters left of school and I've got to finish. I'm really ready to be done.

So I know that wasn't a lot about just me and Brian but we're old boring married people now, so not a lot happens. I'll update more when it does though.
