After the marriage...

So here's an update on our life since we have been married... We live in St. George because I'm in dental hygiene school so i dragged Race down here. Race is going to Dixie and getting his associates finished up and working on going towards an engineering degree. After I graduate in May, we are moving up to Salt Lake so Race can go to the U of U (my dad will be proud).

We live in a little one bedroom apartment but we love it, it's small but nice. We don't have a dishwasher or washer and dryer... that's all I want in my dream home, it's way crappy without it. It's within walking distance of both of our schools and thanks to St. George weather we walk a lot.

We like our ward, it's a family ward but we are starting to get to know some people. We are in a strengthening marriage Sunday school class, which is kinda funny because we have a strong marriage and no problems yet, the class seems to be geared toward people who argue a lot and need some help... but we were called to go to it so we do. Maybe one day it will help us out. Everyone tells us their first year of marriage was so hard but we just need to stick to it and it gets better... honestly it hasn't been hard at all we are almost waiting for it to be hard because thats what everyone says, we are just lucky. Race has a calling but I'm still jobless...

Neither of us are working which is a blessing thanks to the GI bill from the military we get money from them and Race donates plasma for a little extra money.

I like St. George, it took Race some adjusting especially the hot weather, but it's cooled down so maybe he likes it a little more now. one of the best things is we are so close to the temple we get to once a week :) And Race got a snowboarding season pass to Brainhead and it's still close enough so I'm sure he'll live. We have done some fun things since we've been down here like hiking with friends and my aunt, having friends over for dinner, visits from Dave Jana and Marlee and Jake. We usually go on a Friday night date some things have included mini golfing, frozen yogurt, playing pool and billards at the rec center, swimming, going to dinner andI can't remember other things but we find things to do. We have a starving student card that gets us discounts to lots of places so thats how we usually decide what to do.

Being married is the best thing ever and we are both very happy! We'll keep you posted on our adventures in St. George!
