Been sick the past couple of days, and I'm hoping that it goes away soon because Will and I will be in Yellowstone starting tomorrow for a little over a week
It's been pretty miserable around here, but I've watched all 8 Harry Potter movies, so there's a plus. Since I've been listening to the audio books of Harry Potter the past few weeks, I thought it would be fun to watch the movies. Wrong. It only made the sick me more sick and upset as more and more awesome things were left out of the movies. Let's just say the twins and Neville don't get nearly enough credit.
Will's always funny when I'm sick because I'm not sure he always believes me. This boy is never ever sick, so I can see why he has a hard time understanding where I'm coming from. He's always like "just go on with your day and you'll forget you're sick" haha. Sometimes that works, other times I end up falling asleep at my desk at work. You win some you lose some. At least he got me a smoothie last night.
Being sick is so so boring, and in the summer it's worse because I could be doing way more fun things than just laying here. Hopefully all this sleeping is just a speedy recovery.
On a not so boring note Will and I went to Lagoon last Saturday and it was a blast. Their new ride Cannibal was easily the best roller coaster I've ever been on at any theme park. I vote all of you go now.
I'm not sure if I've talked about this on here before but one of my best friends in high school is seriously dating my most serious boyfriend in high school. I think it's adorable that they are together but it took her months to tell me, which was sad. At this point, if there's a wedding, I'm not so sure that I will be invited.
Have an awesome weekend friends. I will be having a blast with my family in Yellowstone. Mostly because my big sister took a week away from her fancy law school life to come hang with us. I can't even wait.

3 years of sort of wisdom
It's been a long time since I've posted, but since my marriage just hit 3 years I figured I'd post some bits of things that I've learned about life after being married for 3 whole years (it feels like forever and no time at all at once)
-Living with a boy can get frustrating. They are messy, sometimes gross and big. He takes up bed space sometimes, leaves socks EVERYWHERE, and always seems to have dirty dishes in his office. When we were living in apartments this really bothered me, I think because they were small spaces and I had a big need to keep them clean. But now that we are in a house, they still bother me, just not nearly as much as they used to. Now I feel like our house looks lived in, and that we are comfortable around each other in ways that we don't mind cleaning up after the other (I'm not Mr. Clean by any means)
-Date night time is more important than I thought it would be. We are so busy with out grown up lives that I didn't realize how much time we don't spend with each other some weeks. I know I don't have a lot of room to talk because it is just the two of us, but we always seem to get so busy. I love the night when we go to a movie, or play a game, go on a drive, anything really where we set aside time to be together. It really brings the down weeks up and I always forget how much of a life force my husband is. He has the most amazing energy and I love being around him and breathing that in.
-It's really ok to not have it all together. When I was engaged I assumed that being married would automatically make me super responsible, put together and like, a real adult. I was so wrong. I'm learning now that it's ok to screw up, as I do often. It makes it better being married because he always supports me, but all in all I'm learning that it really is ok if I need to act like a kid sometimes. I'm only 22
-IT'S OK THAT I'M NOT PREGNANT- If I had a dime for every person that asked why I don't have kids yet... ugh. Just because I've been married over a year doesn't mean that I automatically start popping out babies. It just doesn't. I'm only 22. I'm not mature and I'm still quite a bit selfish. I want to raise my kids in a stable home with a stable mother and I am not stable. I want to be done with school, and live my life just a little before I settle down. I have nothing against those that have babies quickly. Babies are wonderful and I am excited to be a mom someday. I just know that for me it's a someday not today.
-Because I love babies but not massive responsibility I am getting a puppy. Pictures will come in August when I get to take him home. I am nothing short of ecstatic.
-The gospel is important for an individual. When I got married I assumed that I would sort of mesh my testimony with my husband and we would be one with God together. It took me longer than I'd like to admit to learn that a testimony is needed for me and me alone. That my relationship with God is just as important if not more so than my relationship with my husband. So to me it's been a hard and wonderful learning experience.
-Marriage is hard and wonderful all at the same time. I love my husband a whole lot and feel really lucky to be with him every day.
3 years isn't a lot. But I feel like I'm at a point where I can ooze wisdom onto all of you because now I clearly know more than you.
