Wow, it has been over a year. So much has changed and no record for it. I was married to the love of my life on March 3, 2012. It was the best day of my life. We have been married over a year and I am just as in love with him as ever. I've learned a few things during marriage.
1. Girls are crazy and hormonal. All of us.
2. I have the most patient and understanding husband in the world.
3. Once you are married, it's harder to resist crying. Whether its because of being happy, sad, angry, or frustrated.... It will spill over no matter how hard you resist....
4. It is possible to be married to a guy who DOESN'T forget to put the toilet seat down.
5. You always have a best friend to vent to, hang out with, joke with, make memories with.
There is tons more I have learned... But that sums it up.
Right now I am in dental hygiene school. I won't lie I did NOT expect it to be this hard. But if it wasn't hard, I wouldn't be challenging myself, and if you're not challenging yourself, you aren't trying to reach your full potential. I suppose that is why people read monstrous books with confusing words in them.
Anyways, right now I am at the point where I have learned to scale supragingivally! It's fun to work on people with calculus. I worked on someone who had a little build up on their mandibular anteriors on the lingual and it was SWEET when I finally removed it! Like it just clicked. Literally and figuratively.
As far as life goes, living in Provo is different. When we first moved down it was really rough on Bryce and I. Especially Bryce. Aside from his mission, he had never lived away from home. But I had been used to being away from family since I was 17, so it was easier to adjust. I prayed hard to our Father to help us with this big change, especially Bryce. He has sacrificed so much for me and so it was hard at the time to not blame myself for his happiness, but Bryce made sure to put and end to that thought! He loves me so much and this move has helped me recognize it even more. I am the luckiest girl in the world!
The food. I love the food! J-dawgs? Mmm yes please. Wait a minute, you're telling me that there is an In-N-Out within 5 minutes of me for the first time since I was 16!? I'll take it! But I have to admit, I have become so accustom to the small town feel that I miss it. We are back in Idaho today and I think being here is making me homesick and I just can't wait to get back here!
But the are more Utah perks... My mom and papa Norton live 40 minutes away. Tell me I'm dreaming! I haven't had my amazing mother near me since I was 17! And an awesome step dad that cooks amazing meals and is absolutely amazing and hilarious? It's wonderful. I have also gained a better relationship with my Dad in the last few months. I just love having strong family ties :) the only thing missing would be my siblings! I've got my little bro here, but I miss my big sister and brothers like crazy. One day we will see each other more than every few years. Can't wait for that day.
I. Have. A niece. She is the cutest. I've only met her a few times but I have so much love for her! It's beautiful to see the innocence of a young child. I just want to help shelter her from all the chaos that makes up the world today! I love seeing her grow, seeing her smile, seeing her wave! It makes me more grateful than ever for technology. She's thousands of miles away and yet I get to watch her play and smile and walk... It's beautiful seeing her figuring everything out. The human mind astounds me.
Well, it's March madness so I guess it's time to put this post to a close. I love my family. I love dental hygiene. I love the support I have received from my husband during my schooling... I'd never have the strength to get through it all without his loving support and encouragement. I'm the luckiest girl in the world! Grateful for a Loving Heavenly Father for where I am and who I have.
