I'm not real great at this blogging thing... so it's been awhile...
but one thing is for sure....
I've never been happier!!!
Life has come so fast, some days when I'm almost awake but still in sleep mode, I wonder to myself how much longer until Russell gets home from his mission and I'll see him again, and then I roll over... and there he is!!
We're both still adjusting to being married, well at least I am. Because of his mission Russ is used to living in strange apartments away from home and with someone else, I.... am not. It is great though, I'm not complaining, it's just different.
Our wedding day was the most wonderful day in the history of wonderful days!!! I'm so happy to be sealed to the man I love more than anything for all of Eternity!! The day was a blur, and ended so quickly, but I will never forget the smile on our faces or the love we were shown from our friends and family! Thanks everyone! We love you!
Since the wedding we've been trying to get our apartment in order. Once again, that is something Russ is better at than I am. Slowly but surely, things are getting put away and rooms are getting cleaned. And every once in awhile I make something edible for dinner... I am no cook, that's for sure, but one dish I made actually turned out!! Thank you Emily for the Apricot Chicken recipe!! It was delicious!
I wish I could say right here that "other than that our lives have been pretty calm..." but that is not the case. Russ was laid of off his job at the Deseret Mill within a week of our marriage, but luckily the Lord was watching out for us and he received a call from L3 Communications... today is his 2nd day working for their cafeteria. And it definitely did not hurt that he had gotten experience working at the best deli around (Leger's...of course) before his mission!
My dad is sleeping here on the couch near me. I'm so glad he is home, and ok. He's been sick and ended up at McKay Dee for a few days after having an emergency appendix surgery. His appendix had burst but it was up behind another organ and he had to be on strong antibiotics that can only be given through an IV. He's still recovering and on lots of meds, but he's home and it was great to see him walking around a bit today! I love him very much and it was a bit of a scare earlier this week. Just another reason to count your blessings!
So... life is hectic, But... LIFE IS WONDERFUL!!
(the only way it could be better is if I was in Disneyland with my brother and my in-laws...I can't wait 'Til June!!)

It sounds like you have had a very eventful month!!! I'm glad you two are so happy and things are going well for you.
I was sorry to hear about your dad. That is so scary. I hope he continues to get better...quickly.
I look forward to seeing you guys at Thanksgiving.
Glad to hear you've survived your first month together and your still madly in love with each other! As long as you stay madly in love with each other, you'll survive all the other stuff. Rely on each other when times get tough and you'll make it through. Oh, ya and June will be here before you know it!
What a great post. Sounds like you two are very busy. So glad about Russell's new job and glad to hear your Dad is okay. Looking forward to seeing you both on Thanksgiving.
Love from your favorite Aunt Lesley :-)
Sorry.... I was reading your blog and it all became blurry as I was laughing and crying at the same time.... Why? Why would I do that?? This:
"Since the wedding we've been trying to get our apartment in order. Once again, that is something Russ is better at than I am."
Bwwwwaaaahahahahahahahahahaaa!!
I've lived with "Russ" as you call him for a lot of years, and this is something to which I had NO IDEA! ;-)
Love, Your mother-in-law!!
i love love love that picture!! im so glad everything went and is going so well for you guys!!
You two are just like the storybooks. "And they lived happily ever after." That is such a cliche, but for you two I'd say it applies. It's so great that you two were able to end up together! Your reception was wonderful, by the way. Speaking of which, I need to get the pictures I took there onto a cd and give them to you. Some of them are actually pretty good. :D
Welcome back y'all. :-)
Busy beats bored any day though. Keep smiling!
Welcome back to blogging :o) I kept checking, so here I am 4 days late :o( We had a lot of fun on your wedding day also. And I am encouraged that Russell is tidying up. When Granpa and I got married the next day he brought me a delicious breakfast in bed. I was so impressed and was telling him how wonderful he was etc etc. But he refused the thanx and told me that was how he wanted his breakfast from then on. :o)
He is still waiting :o)
I'm so glad you like the Apricot Chicken...so easy and good too! ;)
Scary to hear about your dad--I'm so glad he is ok.
You and Russell are a perfect couple and I am so happy for you!
