1 Year Down, Eternity to Go


Today is the 1st anniversary of our Temple Sealing. Scott and I will be going to the Temple tonight to do sealings for the dead to celebrate! It's amazing how time flies. Our little family has grown so much in the past year and I cannot forget how blessed we are to have the gospel in our lives and for what it does for us each and every day. We will be together FOREVER, a fact that keeps me going through the tough times.

I haven't been on here for a long time, and I regret that. I was reading in my cousin's blog yesterday (Meg!) and she talked about how she does this because she sucks at writing in a journal. I, too, am guilty of poor journal writing, and as many journals as I have purchased with the promise to write in them at least once a week, I think I've written enough times to fill maybe HALF of a 100-page journal. It's so much easier to type than it is to write. I can type at least 80 wpm, and I'm pretty sure that I can only write about 25. Anyway, hopefully I will keep at this and get you all updated with what's going on in our lives, and at the same time keep a dutiful record of my life and the life of my family.

We have recently moved to North Salt Lake to some brand new apartments. Rent is cheaper, we'll be able to save a lot more a month, and there is NO ROOMMATE!! As long as Scott and I have been married, we have never lived alone. Isn't that crazy? We've always been with someone else. It's so nice to be able to walk around nake---I mean, nevermind... :) Like I was saying, it's great to have a place all to ourselves. We are about 2 minutes from my in-laws, which is great. It's nice to have family so close!

Adam is getting so big, I can't even keep up with it. How amazing it is to watch a child grow. I find it strange that I'm a mother a lot of the time. I'm only 21, in the prime of my life, and I've got a little family where most others my age are in college, hanging with friends until 2am, enjoying being young. I'm in bed by 10 most nights, if not earlier. I don't have time for friends really. My time is consumed by working every once in a while, cleaning, laundry, and anything else ADAM related you could think of. Sometimes I sit and think about where I would be if I didn't get married 2 years ago, if there was no Adam or Scott, if I stayed in college and graduated... but then I think about the blessings I would be missing out on right now if there was no Scott or Adam, no eternal family, no temple visits (which keep me sane, honestly). I don't think I would change anything.
