A Pretty Dang Good Life

Since my last post things have definitely improved. In fact I have made quite a few successful dinners haha, but I'm still learning. I even made a successful yummy peach cobbler! 

School has been going better. We are already almost halfway through the semester, so that's exciting. I'm doing better in my hard classes than I thought we would but still can't wait for them to be over. However, the longer I go to school here at BYU-I, the more I realize how blessed Dallin and I are to be going to a school where the Spirit is not only present, but is nourished and invited constantly in our classes. We can't wait to be done with college and especially homework, but hey only three more semesters.

We are getting more and more settled in here in Rexburg and our little two bedroom apartment at Heartland is feeling more and more at home. I still haven't decorated a lot, but we don't have a lot of extra money to spend on decor. But thats just fine. I used what we do have and it looks just fine for a couple poor college students.

We had the opportunity to take a break last weekend and go to Salt Lake City where we went the the Hogle Zoo! I remember it being a lot bigger and a lot more exciting when I was just a little girl, but it was still a good time with my handsome husband. We also tried In N Out on our way home. Delicious.

I've just got to say how grateful I am for Dallin. He honestly is so much more than I ever dreamed of marrying. He does so many small acts of service for me that make me feel so special. He treats me so well and tells me often that he loves me. I love our cuddles and our talks and watching movies on Saturday night. I'm also thankful for the hard work he puts into his job at the potato factory, making money and providing for us. Our one year anniversary is coming up soon and I can't wait to celebrate the best decision I ever made. 

I'm also grateful for our little apartment, it was a miracle that we got this apartment and that it all worked out in the way that it did. It suits me and Dallin just fine.

I'm also thankful for my family and everything that they have done for me. They helped to shape me into who I am today. I'm so grateful for annoying little brothers who I love and miss. I'm so grateful for both my parents and everything that they did for me and for my brothers.

I'm thankful for my background and the chance I had to be raised on a farm. It has taught be so much and I'm proud to be an Idaho farmgirl. It's one of the reasons me and Dallin fit so well for each other. We are both just a couple of pipe movin, tractor riding farmkids.

We may have a lot of homework on our plate and rexburg may be super freezing but I really have a lot to be thankful for. 

I live a pretty dang good life.
