Thinking Back

When Brett and I first got married, someone in his family asked us if we had even ever had an argument before we decided to get married. Of course, we didn't (lol) and it is funny to think of the little snicker that followed.
It got me thinking about our first "argument" we ever had and I can't help but laugh every time I remember it now. I think we had been married 3 mths and we were cuddling on the couch watching a movie, and I leaned over and started picking at his face. He kept pulling his head away from my hand, hoping I'm sure, I would get the hint to stop, but I kept on. He finally yelled at me"Stop!!" and I was so shocked! I had never heard him raise his voice before and I didn't know what to do. I just turned around and we sat in complete silence for about half an hour. He was mad at me for ruining a romantic moment with pimple popping and i was mad at him for making such a big deal out of it. It was such a silly thing to get mad about. And we sure had a good laugh later about it. I remember calling my mom laughing and telling her that we had our first couples fight... and she laughed back.
Now, a lot of the times when I start to get mad or frustrated about something I think back to that first fight and say to myself "now, is this another pimple argument?" and if it is, I know I will only be mad at myself later and feel really guilty. I am glad that we talk things out and listen to one another, because I know that if we go to bed angry, we sill still be angry in the morning.
There is so much to fight about in the world and it is so easy to get mad about it. I am certainly no exception to contention. I hope I can become a little better at loving and respecting my fellow man, even the ones who cut me off in traffic or people who don't leave tips haha. Life is full of so many silly arguments

"If Satan can succeed in creating in us the pastime of arguing, quarreling, and contention, it is easier for him to bind us with heavier sins which can destroy our eternal lives. Anger is a poor substitute for self-mastery and compassionate service." Elder Marvin J. Ashton

Wonderful Surprise

I had to work this morning and I was so tired...my energy just feels like it has been draining lately. Anywho, after a long day at the job, I came home to a beautiful surprise! The dishes were done (and put away) the kitchen counter tops wiped clean, floors mopped, living room...hallway...bedroom all vacuumed, Adalies toys uncommonly put in her toy box, towels washed and folded, and our bedroom actually looks like a nice bedroom. All in all i now have a spic and span home! I mean my house hasn't been a total wreck but, it hasn't been the best since i have started packing up boxes...you know going through lots of stuff we don't really need. Well I am so grateful for a husband who noticed...he is such a great guy, and I love that I don't have to mop! =)

Not a day goes by..

I've come to realize i am not very good with gas. It is so expensive now and i am doing nothing to help cost go down in our house. lol i think i go out everyday....sometimes two to three times a day and usually not for any real reasons...just because i get bored being at home and
want to get out. Theres been lots of trips to the mall with the stroller, and Wal-Mart trips everyday just to waste gas and money. I think i am just getting anxious to go somewhere new and to have a change of pace around here! I am getting antsy!
I think Brett thinks I am packing too early. I have taken off all the pictures and paintings off of the walls and put them into boxes. Now, brett thinks our house is boring. I just figure if i do at least one or two boxes a day, i won't be so overwhelmed the week of moving. I also think Brett is a little scared that my pre-mature packing will be things we still need. He was a little surprised when I packed up all the movies and DVD's. He says "What if I want to watch something" well, i seriously doubt we will watch 200 movies before we leave, and besides...We're spoiled now with DVR (like tivo) and we have tons of things recorded on that for him to watch. But, just in case I did leave the tub with all the movies in it in the living room for easy access. =)

Good Days

I am quitting my job in two weeks and it is so hard to even want to go to work anymore. I think that is so funny....i can see the end in sight but i already want it to be here. haha We figure by quitting a few weeks early it will give us a little more time to get organized and ready to go...let's hope!
Yesterday was a great day! The weather was perfect! Jennifer and Daniel came over to play and we all went to the park and had a great time. We also watched the movie "Enchanted" Great movie by the way! Its one of those that even keeps the adults laughing. I kept laughing at all the references to things and Benjamin (my nephew) kept saying to me



Brett is getting so excite for school to be over soon. I think he is really burned out this semester, and needs a little break. He is also getting excited for Pittsburgh. I think the change of scenery is what he is mostly excited for. Too long in Provo isn't good for him lol.
Oh and I am so happy to say we found an apt to come home to! I am way excited!! They're going to be really nice. Their actually building them now, so everything will be brand new and they will be ready by August, which is perfect for us. I am mostly excited about the washer and dryer tha comes with it...it is such a pain to haul your laundry everywhere....lol All in all though i am glad that we don't have to be stressed about that anymore! I think Brett and I have become a little spoiled living in this house.
