Good Days and Bad Days

I guess I really can not say that I have bad days. Sometimes things arent what I planned or wanted, but it really does not make for a bad day. I like Boise. It really is a nice place. I love the Dilgards and I seriously married one of the best guys in the whole world. However, it really has been a rough transition to me. I am still trying to figure out this whole concept of being married. It isnt too hard, but I am learning that I have had some selfish tendencies and I am trying really hard to overcome those because there really is no room for selfishness. Anybody who knows me knows that I love people so much and my friends mean the world to me. I find myself really sad sometimes because I really dont have a close girlfriend here that I can just call and chat with about everything. I feel like I am in this unfamiliar place that I cant just get in my car and drive somewhere because I only know my way to one or two streets. I sometimes wish I could just run away to Idaho Falls and see Amy, Michael(who has REALLY grown on me lately :) ), Beck, and the kids. I miss Amy and Becky especially. I have told Robert sometimes that I really am just waiting to have that feeling that I am a part of something. It is hard because everywhere I have went, I have had some security in knowing that either I was not the only new girl or I was surrounded by things that were familiar. I really am not complaining...not at all...I know that I am so blessed, but that does not mean that life is going to be easy. I just need to chin up and have faith. I miss everyone and I love you each so much. Have a super day!!

Married... What??

Well, on Aug 8th we took the plunge. Robert and I were married in the Memphis Tennessee Temple. It was seriously one of the best days ever. My mom helped me put on my dress in the bridal room and then went out and brought my sisters to me. We all laughed and talked. A few minutes later, they sent my sisters-in-law into the room. It was such a unifying feeling to have all these beautiful women that I loved and respected in this sacred room with me. I felt so comfortable. I did not have butterflies and I know that was part of being with these girls. I am lucky to have the family that I have. They are everything and more than a family should be. Now, I have an even larger family now that I am married. My in-laws have been so great and I am loving them more everyday. I can not believe that this is where I am in life. Sometimes I wake up and I ask myself if I really did get married. My mornings are always happy when I look beside me and see a big hairy boy named Robert right beside me. I love him so much and I can honestly say that everyday I fall even more in love with him. Well, I just thought I would write this little blog. I am a grateful girl...no doubt. Oh, and I will be starting a job at Lowes as a cashier next week. I turned down Maurices because Lowes paid more and I would be getting more hours. All is well!!

Last week of school until January!

I can not believe it is the last week of the semester. School has been tough and my microbiology class has given me a run for my money! I seriously can not wait to be back home for a bit. I will only be there for like two weeks though and then I get married and move back to Idaho. I am counting the days until Aug 8th and there are only 19!! That is crazy!! Poor Robert has been through it with me too...haha. I started taking some birth control and I really think it was just too strong for me. I got super moody, emotional, hungry, and sleepy. After like my tenth break-down, I finally switched to something low estrogen and I am feeling so much better and I know Robert is too! Haha! We are driving back to Tennessee and leaving on the 23rd. Morgan is going to ride with us and so is little Seth. I am pretty sure I am going to drive extra safe with that little boy in the back seat! I feel like since Michael and Amy have moved back that I have gotten pretty close to my little nieces and nephews and I am not going to like being 4 hours away. I will just have to come visit, I reckon! Anyway, I just felt like I needed to blog since it has been a hundred years. I hope everyone makes it out to either our reception in Jackson or open house in Boise! It will be fun and I am going to need to show off my dress :) I love yall!!

All you need is love

Now how did I get here?
What have I done to deserve this?
I have been showered by grace

These are lyrics to a song that describes how I am feeling right now. I have fallen so deeply in love and on June 5th, I got engaged to the most wonderful boy in the whole world for me. He is not the boy of my dreams, or a prince that just swept me off my feet. He is more. More than anything I could have imagined...and how did I get here? I do not know what I did to deserve this, but I am going to do everything I can to show how grateful I am. It almost does not even feel real. I am waiting on someone to pinch me. I keep looking at my hand and saying to myself that I am going to wear this ring for a long long long time. I am going to be married on August 8th and the people that I love the most are all going to be there with me. In the Memphis Tennessee Temple, I am going to be sealed. I am going to stand with all of my family and really be able to feel a little piece of heaven. I really have no idea what lies ahead, and to be completely honest, I am scared to death...but I am going to take it on with faith. I have not yet met one thing that has overcome me. I have always came out on top and guess what? I know that is how my future will be. I am so lucky to have the love of my family and especially my sisters. I seriously would be lost without these beautiful women. They have been such blessings. I cant even say how much they have done for me.

I Finished it!!

I started a quilt for Robert back in February and I just finished it! I started it and then kept taking these huge breaks. It turned out really cute though. It is kinda small though....no fun! He really likes it though!! I am so excited for Momma to be here in just a few weeks. We will have a lot of fun and she will get to meet Robert for the first time. I might oughtta be nervous because we all know how momma is ;) I am really liking Microbiology. It is probably my favorite class that I have taken. I have been going to the gym and jogging lately. It helps me to feel good. However, running and being on my legs so much has been hurting them. It isnt a sore feeling, it is more of a they are going to give out on me any time....but not like noodles either. Haha. I know, I am kind of a weirdie! Other things...hmmm....I love my life and yeah, Im a little nervous for the future, but more than anything, I am so excited. I know there are a lot of good things in store. I am so happy with the way things are though. I have been given so much in this life. I know I am one lucky girl!

The Weekend is HERE!!

I am so glad that it is Friday. My class got canceled today, so I got an extra day for the weekend and we dont have school Mon or Tues! I am going to Boise for the weekend. I really like going there. I think Robert's family is really great. It makes me miss home and feel at home all at once. School is going really good. I am doing awesome in Microbiology because I really love studying it. I think part of it is that my teacher is super enthusiastic. I am so lucky to live with little miss Rebekah Diane. She for sure takes care of me...and trust me, I need it! Haha! I do love being the baby of the family!! I love how my family is always there for me. I am constantly being helped out by them in some way. They are the very best. I am so glad that I can talk to them openly about anything too. We are just like that, ya know? I would be pretty lost without them. Mom is coming to visit in just a few weeks! I am sooo very excited. I love that crazy lady and trust me...she is crazy, but only in the best way possible! I really do love my life. It has been too good to me. I decided that life really can kick you in the pants and twist you up in knots....pretty much, it can be tough. Then, it came to my mind that I have EVERYTHING and MORE to be happy about!! I love that. Anyway, I need to make some lunch before I leave! Have a great day!!

Dear GinBug

Today I found out that my little Ginny Lou reads my blog daily...so, I am updating this for her!
Well, Miss GinBug, I cant say that too much is new...but I will tell you a few things. I have myself the cutest boyfriend in the whole world! You will have to find one like him when you are old enough. He is making me french toast right now! He cooks pretty yummy! He really likes kids and I bet he will play with you a whole lot when he comes to Tennessee. I really like him a whole lot. I need you to meet him so I can get your approval! I tell him all about you and I am pretty sure he thinks you are cute. He has two little nephews and they are so cute!! You would like playing with them.
School is pretty tough, but I really like it a lot. I am taking Microbiology and a Book of Mormon class. I love microbiology. I study things like why people get sick and about little bugs that are everywhere that are too little for anyone to see! You should take this class one day!!
Ginny, I am pretty sure I am one of the happiest girls alive. My life is so good. I will be seeing you soon my little princess. Love you so much!
