6 Months

Today we celebrated 6 months of being married! At the bottom of this post, we added the slideshow we showed on our wedding day, plus the wedding pictures we added to the end. It's pretty long, so feel free not to watch it all! :)

To celebrate our 6-Monthaversary, we treated ourselves to a 4" memory foam topper for our bed! Our mattress was pretty hard, but it's so much more comfortable now. We love it!


We decided to each document some of our thoughts after our first 6 months. *(Will probably be cheesy!!)

Rachel- I am so happy every day to be married to my favorite person. People have said that marriage is hard at first because of all the adjustments, but for us, everything just fit into place. (We probably argued way more when we were dating than we do now! :)) Everything feels so much more natural than it did when we were dating, then engaged, and living with roommates. We've made our home together. Since we made our eternal commitments, our love has grown stronger every day. I have the most loving, supportive, hard-working (and attractive) husband. We make each other laugh all the time and can talk for hours about anything. Rob really is my best friend and I couldn't be happier with our life together.

Rob- Married life is really the absolute best ever! First off, Rachel is the best companion that anyone could ever ask for. She is so supportive of me and my endeavors. We're perfect roommates for each other for a few reasons... I'll name two. Our sleep habits are the same, and we are both tidy people. Seriously though, we "liked" our roommates from before, but Rachel is a billion times better than them (No offense guys). Rachel and I have hundreds of little similarities. We're on the same wavelength (FM) and we have fun together. Silly Example: We enjoy looking at the texturing of our ceilings and identifying shapes. True Example: We miss each other all day long... sometimes we don't even see each other until night time because of school or work. Anyway, the point is, I love my Rach and I'm totally happy forever.

Update

We haven't given a basic update in a while, so here's what we've been up to:

School- Rob has a pretty hard semester with 17 credits including Organic Chem, Pre-med Physics, and Bio 200, but he is somehow managing to do well in all of his classes. After this semester ends in July, he is planning to apply to chiropractic schools for next fall. We are hoping to move around October or November of 2010 (depending on which school he gets into).

Work- I am so happy every day for what a perfect job I have. Now that all the kids are out of school for the summer, my schedule is more flexible and I can work more during the mornings and day rather than after-school hours. I have been able to get in a lot of extra hours too. I lucked out with having the cutest kids and I have fun with them every day.

Church- We teach Gospel Doctrine in our ward every other week. It has been fun. We also had the opportunity this last week to clean the temple with some members of our ward. Cleaning time was 10pm to midnight and it was exhausting, but it really made us appreciate how perfectly clean the temple is every day and those volunteers who work there every night. It was a good experience.

Other than that, not much has been going on. We are waiting for summer to finally hit Rexburg so we can do fun summer things (we have had rain and thunderstorms almost every day lately!). And we are always ready for visitors if anyone wants to come see us! :)
