wowsa life is crazy!!!

alot has happened in our little world since i last posted and i don't even know where to start. Last sunday was Joe and my 6 month anniversary and it was fun to think about the time that we have been married. it has been a crazy rollercoaster but wonderful and we look foreward to many many more together =) eternity in fact =) Joe's been keeping busy with school, work and the play he's in. As for me i've been keeping plenty busy with school and trying to keep our heads at least partially attached. We've started into the midterm world and it seems to cause insanity... I'm starting to enjoy my early field class more (i go to a 1st grade class twice a week) and on monday i team taught a lesson on poetry- i felt kinda bad after the lesson was over because i realized i kinda took over more of the lesson because the other college student i was teaching with wasn't really that with it and when a classroom of first graders are staring at you you can't just stand there not doing anything. Saturday was valentines day and my wonderful husband got me dove dark chocolate promises (the heart shaped ones) and 6 roses for the 6 months we've been married and 123 daisies (my favorite flower)... isn't he so sweet?! =) Saturday was mostly an interesting day for us. We had Playmill auditions and call backs and so most of the day was spent with that. It was an interesting day and i can't really think of any other way to decribe it right now. We're not entirely sure what our plans are but when we do make any decisions we'll let people know. Life has been pretty crazy for us and we feel like it's all a bit of a whirlwind but we'll make it through it all somehow!

Here are some pics from our way super awesome ablsolutly we're the coolest chinese new year party we had at the end of Jan. and the flowers Joe got me for Valentines day

first date

A year ago today was Joe and my first date together... wow.. it is really crazy for me to think about because it seems like so long ago because of everything that we have been through in that time =) I'm so blessed to have Joe in my life and it's interesting to think back to before we were dating and it really is like night and day of how much better things seem to be for me. I remember going back to dreary miserable rexburg after Christmas break last year and just being miserable and not understanding why on earth i was there and being extremly frustrated because i had had confirmation that i was supposed to be but i just couldn't figure it out. on top of all of that i ended up being really sick for about the first three weeks i was back.

Joe and i actually met at a ward FHE activity for those of you who don't know the story, he and his friend Jake had a tradition of going to a movie after FHE every week and they saw my roommates and I and invited us to join them so a couple of us did- it wasn't a date i paid for myself and actually thought Joe was kind weird... which he is but now i know him and love him for it =) Not surprisingly nothing happened between us then but Jake started dating one of my roommates. A couple weeks later Joe had a solo in ward choir and they happened to be singing my favorite hymn "O My Father". He has an amazing voice which i wasn't really expecting out of him and being a music lover i tend to take notice of such things so i leaned over to my roommate and said he had a good voice- she immediately jumped on that and decided that she and Jake were going to set up Joe and I. so they all planned throughout sunday school and then i suppose during priesthood Jake convinced Joe to ask me out. After church Jake brought my roommate home and then Joe came over and asked me what was doing the next night (he was so cute and shy... it definatly worked in his favor) and i said FHE... imagine that... FHE at a mormon school!!! hee hee then he asked if i was doing anything after FHE and i said no so he invited me to join him and becca and jake to play some wii and watch a movie. and thus came about our first date and then mommy and papa's fears hee hee... i'm sure when i have kids going on dates and in relationships my parents will just remind them of what i did to them but they just need to remember that i will always be their little princess (#1!).
I'm so grateful to have Joe in my life... =)
