Actually a lot. On the 29th Daniel and I had been married for 4 months. I guess it may be crazy to celebrate month anniversaries, but I would like to beg to differ. I think celebrating the first month of being together is a wonderful way to bond and to have something to look forward to each month. After our first year of being married we will go to just regular anniversaries and perhaps 6 month anniversaries, but for now I love celebrating every moment I am with the love of my life. That sounds so gushy. :( I am not a lovey dovey person. I hate mush like that, but it's true and I can't hide those type of feelings.
We also celebrated our grades for this past semester. We both did really well and we were pleasantly surprised with the grade Daniel got in his dreaded organic chemistry class. If that wasn't a cause for celebration I don't know what is!
I sold my furniture that was in my bedroom at home. It was a sad day for me. I love my beautiful desk and the other furniture I bought when I was in high school. I have so many memories of eating cinnamon apple pie while doing calculus and differential equations on the desk. My parents paid me for it recently so we used this money for our small celebration party. And in a way it was a celebration since it was the end of our desperate attempt to stay living a normal lifestyle without money.
Another reason to celebrate is that I am feeling much better. For those who didn't know I was going through a rough semester not feeling well and visiting doctors and such. I also hurt my back and even damaged my eye pretty nicely during the semester. For the past week I have been starting to feel like myself again. So time to celebrate!
And lastly and one of my greatest happinesses right now-- our employment.
We went for months without a job which nearly sent us right into complete poverty. We fasted and prayed and I worried so much and the day Daniel was leaving for Denver we went to the grounds office and asked if they had any openings. We both got a job that day and we having been working for a month now. Sure we are still the newbies on the job and we may be seen that way for a while since everyone has been working there together for quite awhile, but we absolutely love the job. Mike, our foreman, is HILARIOUS! He reminds me of Hook from the movie "Hook." .....please don't ask me why, he just does. I love it because I love the outdoors and the other workers are funny and it makes me realize how much I miss having a social life. My biggest desire in the job is to make my lines straight when mowing. I have been doing decently until the last time I mowed. :( ......I don't know what was so different, but I will keep working on it. The temple is so pretty with the canyon in the background, even when it is cold and gloomy. Lets just wrap this up by saying working Temple Grounds with so many nice people and with my hubby is one of the greatest blessings of this year and since I've been to Utah. I get so happy thinking about it.
So we celebrated all of this by going to Old Spaghetti Factory on Friday night and watching Rio. Saturday we celebrated by reading books at Borders and eating at Tucanos.
Oh and one more thing before I close......Daniel thinks I have an addiction to otter pops. haha
