Four Years

Chris,

Happy four years of marriage to my best friend. Four years ago I could have never pictured what our lives would be like now. Through every trial, every heartache, every fight, you've made me laugh through it all. Together we've gone through a lot of pain in our short marriage together, but we're the perfect team, and you are the one I always want by my side through the good times and the bad. I'm so happy that we're months away from starting our family on earth. I know you'll be a great dad to the twins... you're already a master at the lame dad jokes. You're such a hard worker, so strong, so brave, and you treat me like a princess. I would say four years ago today was the best day of my life, but honestly, every day with you just gets better and better. I love you more than I can explain. You are my life. Happy anniversary baby!!

Kaylee

Thanks Mariah for these photos! You're amazing and I absolutely love these!

Where Am I?!?

Hello my friends. This blog title is probably what you're all thinking. I got back from Jackson Hole and started all these crafts for Pinterest Projects and got a planner to start organizing posts better, and then I got lazy again.

It's been a weird week for me. Last week flew by way too quickly and I felt like I was constantly go, go, go, and I couldn't breathe, so I spent my weekend doing nothing but watching Glee in my pajamas on my couch. And then the new week started and life got crazy again.

I wanted to say that I really appreciated the responses from my recent survey. You guys gave me some great ideas and things to think about and I'm already working on changing up posts for this blog, even if you won't see it for a while.

This month marks the 3 year "blogiversary" for The Dancing Cow. This is the first year it has it's own URL and the name is different than when it started, but I'm still not where I thought I would be by now. I thought for sure I would have hundreds of followers, but that's been proven wrong. It doesn't help that basically for the last year my blogging has been incredibly sparse. How can I get followers if I don't even post anything? Truth is I can't.

So this year is going to be different and it may not seem like it for a while, but it'll get there. Does anyone remember my theme song for the year? It is Butterflies and Hurricanes by Muse. I want to bring up one line from the song that has been on my mind a lot lately:

"Best, you've got to be the best, you've got to change the world, and use this chance to be heard. Your time is now." 

I've spent a lifetime feeling invisible. But the truth is that I'm not. I have ideas, I have potential, I have passion. I started this blog to bring awareness to different charities in an attempt to help the world become I better place. I started this blog as a place to express my feelings and thoughts that no one else would listen to. I started this blog to make friends.

My follower numbers may be small, but I have the best internet friends in the world who I can always count on to love and support me when I need them. This is my chance to be heard. This is my time.

As a result, this new blog year is bringing back Charity of the Month to help us all remember to give back a little. I'm going to be showing more of my biggest passion, writing, with a special story that will be coming up soon. I'm going to bring back my Book Club, but in a different way. I'll continue doing Fashion Friday and Happy Tuesday posts and bring you more YouTube videos. These are all promises to you. It's going to happen. This is my time.

So for the last year, maybe even more, you've been asking yourself, "Where is Kaylee? Why does she never blog anymore? Why doesn't she like us anymore?"  Well I'm here to tell you that I'm back, I'm ready, and I'm never giving up on this blog. This is my chance to be heard.

NOTE: For my upcoming writing project I want illustrations to go along with my stories. So if you're an artist who would like to help me out, please message me on my Facebook page. If you help me out I'd help promote your social media and/or blog in exchange. Thanks in advance!

Two Years

November 3rd, 2012, during a picnic on a hill in my favorite park, Chris proposed to me. At the time I didn't think any other event in my life would be as wonderful, as exciting, as magical. 

Six months later on May 11th, 2013 we were sealed together for time and all eternity in the Draper, Utah LDS Temple, and began our married life together. 

Again, I didn't think any other day of my life would be as magical as the day I made Chris officially mine to love for eternity. 

But, time and time again I've been proven wrong. 

Everyday with Chris gets better and better. Back on the day we got married I didn't think it was possible to love this boy more, but I'm always proven wrong. 

We've been through a lot in our two years of marriage. Moving multiple times, living in Texas, leaving college, switching jobs, minor medical procedures, getting pet fish, losing friends, vacations, and so much more. 

We've had trials, we've had fun. We've had arguments that were resolved with laughter. We've done so much to give each other happiness. 

I love my Christopher and can't believe we've been together nearly four years when it feels like I've known him my entire life. 

Today, on our two year wedding anniversary, I feel truly blessed to have such a wonderful, loving, smart, sexy, brilliant, strong, patient, giving, and handsome husband. I've never loved anyone more and can't imagine spending a single day without him. 

He's my best friend and the love of my life. 

Happy two year anniversary baby! Here's to an eternity more. 

Two Weeks // Blogiversary // Goals

Well, we've come to the end. Only two more weeks until Chris and I move back to Utah. While I expected this summer to really help my blog grow by giving me more time to write, the exact opposite happened, I didn't write at all. Apparently when I'm in school and should be doing homework I blog more than when I'm more free to write. That's probably not how it should work.

At this point I'll admit part of the reason my blogging was so scarce was because once I realized I wasn't writing about our Texas adventure I was embarrassed to suddenly start writing about it at the very end. In my mind since I didn't document the beginning of the summer, why should I start documenting the end?

I also was very disappointed in myself for not sharing any fashion posts this summer. That was probably the biggest new goal for my blog and I've been majorly failing at that. But I'll be honest with you, I've worn most the same things all summer and haven't bought anything new. Also, I know I'm just making up excuses for myself, but with Chris working all the time I haven't had anyone to take my pictures for me.

Oh, so this month marks my two year blogiversary!! Yay! I've been doing this blog for two years which is a pretty cool accomplishment. The only problem is that I thought by two years it would have grown much more. But I'm realizing now that I still have a lot of work to do to make this blog as successful as I want it to be. I'm trying not to compare my success to others (even though it's difficult) and just figuring out what I have to do or continue to do to make this blog successful for me. (Although suggestions are always appreciated. Wink wink.)

I do not have any sort of celebration for my "blogiversary" except maybe the name change. That's pretty cool in my opinion. And I'm purchasing the domain which will make things lots of fun. I think that will change the "success" for my blog and help me to help it grow. I will always want it to keep growing.

My current goals for this blog are as follows:

• Purchase the domain name
• Start posting regularly again
• Start making YouTube videos to go along with my blog posts
• Gain a larger following on social media
• Advertise my blogging friends
• And keep writing the things that make me happy

Again, I apologize for this summer. It was not a good summer for this blog. For me, yeah, I had fun, but for this blog it was kind of a total failure. But that's fine. Everyone and everything has their ups and downs and I still feel this blog is at the beginning of its race, I haven't given up on it yet. 

Thank you to all my readers/friends. I love you all so much for all the support you give me all the time. Thank you for believing in me and returning back to my blog again and again even when I have nothing of importance to say. I truly appreciate all you do for me. You make me happy and I consider you all some of my greatest friends. 

As I said in the beginning, in two weeks I'm moving back to Utah and maybe then I'll be able to refocus myself to work harder on this blog. I've gotten a new planner, I'll be buying myself a new laptop, and I'll be setting goals and deadlines to get the things done on this blog that I want. I'm so excited for what's to come and I hope you are too. 

May Review

I debated on doing a review this month, but when I realized it was suddenly the end of the month and I hadn't written like any blog posts I felt like I needed to get a review done to kind of explain where I've been.

So if you've been completely out of the loop, I am now in Texas. My husband decided to take a summer sales job here so we packed up the car and moved to San Antonio, well technically right outside of San Antonio. It was so crazy the drive here took us three days (because we chose to stop each night) and then we got here and had to sleep on someone's floor, and then I got offered a job as an office help for the company Chris is selling for and then our lives just turned into working like crazy.

Okay, I only work three days a week so that was kind of a lie, but it is for eight hours a day which is much more than I've been doing in the past. Chris on the other hand works six days a week... all day. I pretty much only see him for dinner, sleep, and on Sundays. He does get off a bit earlier on Saturdays but we've been hanging out with his new work team so we haven't had a ton of alone time.

May 11th was our one year anniversary!!! I honestly am still in shock we've been married a year. Time has literally flown by! We didn't do much to celebrate. We decided not to do gifts and we just wrote letter saying why we love each other. We read them to each other and it was just really sweet and a memorable moment.

And then the month disappeared. I worked out a lot, until recently. I'm working on losing some weight this summer. I want to lose enough to fit back into my wedding dress, that's the goal. And I have been working on a special project but I'm not ready to reveal that to the world because it still has a lot of work to go through. But actually, this "special project" is part of the reason I haven't been blogging on here as much, so I do apologize.

I feel like we're finally making money instead of digging ourselves more and more into debt. It's been fantastic! Sure we still have a lot of money in student loans to pay off, but this summer we're just working hard to create a stable financial base for ourselves, and it's been working really well in our favor.... and thank you so much to the company we work for for paying our rent, because I don't know if we could afford this awesome place without you!

Oh! I've been obsessed with Pokemon lately. Yes, I'm such a dork, but I watched something scary and Chris was sleeping so I wanted to watch something silly to help me forget the scary thing and Pokemon was the first thing I saw, and I've always been secretly in love with Pikachu so I decided to give it a shot. And now I'm obsessed. I even bought myself a plush Pikachu online. Literally obsessed.

I'm going to try to take more pictures, I don't know why I haven't been, Texas is gorgeous, so hopefully you'll be seeing more pictures of our new home up on the blog soon.

Alright, was there anything else? Not that I can think of. Well, this review is short and sweet, but so was the month of May for me. Thank you for reading and have a fabulous day!!

Happy One Year Anniversary to Christopher and Me!!

You guys, it's been a whole year since all this happened:

And what a crazy year it's been! I never imagined my first year of marriage would be so uneventful. Yep, you heard me right. My first year of marriage was not the greatest year of my life, but truth me told, I never wanted it to be. I'm a firm believer in the idea that love only grows, and I hope Chris and I continue to grow our love into the eternities. 

I am so insanely grateful that I married Chris one year ago. Chris is the greatest blessing in my life and I love him more than I ever thought I could love someone and everyday I find a way to love him more. He means the world to me, he saved my life, he makes me happier than I ever imagined, and I know he loves me and I'm so happy and grateful that he does. 

I don't care that our first year of marriage was uneventful. We're starting out our second year living in Texas and working full-time and making huge life decisions. I love my husband and I know our marriage will only get better and better as time goes on. But I'm so happy for this first of struggles and learning who we were, it will change us for the better. It already has made us a stronger couple and better people. I'm so grateful that this year was uneventful, because it means we have so much more to look forward to. 

Happy one year anniversary to my best friend in the whole world and the love of my life! I feel like I've known you forever, and I want to continue to get to know you through the eternities. 

I LOVE YOU CHRISTOPHER!!

What I've Learned From 10 Months of Marriage

I'm pretty much in shock that we are so close to our one year anniversary! Chris and I have been together for two and a half years and we both feel like we've been married forever. We both feel we were meant to be together and that's why it feels like we've been together for so long. I love it!

Anyways, I've done posts like this before and I just think they are a good post for me to share my perspective on marriage. So here are a few things I've learned from 10 months of marriage.

Nothing is set in stone. 
After getting married and we moved into our first apartment together we both assumed we would just stay there until we were graduated from college and left Logan. But then we didn't have enough money to stay there so we moved into our new place and now in only two months we're moving again to Texas.

Our married life has been chaotic because we've never really had the chance to settle down. We expected to feel more settled down but it's never been that way. While it causes some stress, we're learning to handle our chaotic life together. Honestly, it's hard to never have a permanent home, but as long as I'm with Chris I'm happy.

We are so good at fighting.
Chris and I really don't fight that much in the first place, but when we do we are able to solve our differences quickly and easily. A few days ago we were in an argument and I was going off about something and I ended up quoting How I Met Your Mother, which immediately lightened the mood. Chris understood why I was angry, but we both knew it wasn't too big of a deal and we were able to resolve the fight quickly. Best marriage ever.

All decisions should be made together. 
This one seems pretty obvious, but it's a big deal. In marriage you absolutely have to communicate and make decisions together, because if one person goes off and does their own thing without talking to the other, it can cause major problems. We've never had a big issue with this but we work hard to always communicate with each other. We've made quite a few big decisions lately (Texas, Fashion Blogging, College) and we've consulted each other about every detail. It's been really important and has helped strengthen our marriage.

I've never been happier. 
Living with depression is hard, but my husband makes it so much better! He always knows the right way to make me happy when I'm feeling down. I don't know how he does it. A few years ago before I met Chris my biggest fear was that I would never find someone who would tolerate my depression. Chris has exceeded all expectations and makes me happier than I've ever been before in my life. And I am eternally grateful to have him in my life.

This post is short but I just wanted to say a few quick things about my marriage. Happy 10 months to me! And thank goodness for Little Caesars for being one of the only restaurants cheap enough for us to have a special lunch together. :) 

Five on Friday

This post is a link up with The Good Life about five random things from the week.

One
The Concept of Time

No, this is not a lesson on how time works or anything like that. This week went by super slow! However, I am in shock that we are almost halfway through October! Can you believe it's only two and a half months till 2014??? I sure can't. Everything about this semester went by super fast, I'm already halfway done with the semester, and it's all been going by so fast... except for this past week. And this past week was ridiculously boring and long. I wish it would have been super fast like the rest of them.

Two
Black Nails

My Nana hates when I paint my nails black, but it's October/Halloween time and I LOVE IT!! I am never a fan of painting my nails unless it's black. Black is my favorite color (even though everyone tells me it's not a real color) and I just feel like myself when I paint my nails black. So I did it, I'm super happy. I wish my laptop webcam was better so the picture looked better (and just my laptop in general, because it's really struggling lately).

Three
Halloween Under $10

I'm in the works of a post about how my husband and I are decorating our apartment for Halloween for less than $10. We are very poor and just can't afford holiday decorations, but Halloween is my favorite holiday so I couldn't resist! I'm super excited about this post because it really worked! Halloween under ten bucks and it doesn't look half bad! Stay tuned to learn about how we did it! :)

Four
General Conference

This past weekend was the LDS General Conference and I absolutely loved it!! I think this was the first time that I was able to watch all four sessions and I learned so much and really felt the spirit!  I also followed #ldsconf on Twitter during the sessions and read what other people thought. It was fantastic! I did a ton of Tweets as well, be sure to check those out! My sister also slept over so it was a great weekend.

Five
Five Months

Five months ago today I was married for time and all eternity to the love of my life! It was the greatest day of my life and I can't believe it's been five months already! It's almost half a year! We aren't doing anything to celebrate because we're broke... but we do have cake mixes, maybe we'll make a cake. :)

If any of you link up for Five on Friday, I would love to read it!

 Leave a comment and link below! :) 

Things I've Learned From Being Married for Four Months

Yay! Happy four month anniversary to my husband and I!! It's been 1/3 of a year, so that's cool. Even though it's not a huge amount of time, there is still a lot to have learned since we first got married. I wrote a post before at the three week mark, you can find that HERE.

1. Men Don't Change

I grew up listening to this song:

(which is why "Chocolate is a band-aid" is one of my favorite quotes) So it was ingrained in my brain that "men don't change". But after dating Chris for a year and a half I though he was different. I mean, I had gotten him to stop chewing gum around me (that's kind of a different story) so I figured I could get him to change some other things as well, if needed. I'm not saying he has to change. I married him, I love him to death, but there's a few little things that could be tweaked a bit.

But it's true, "men don't change". But I don't care anymore. Why should I expect him to change things when I won't change my own ways? I talked about this in my church talk and I truly believe it, if you trust in your spouse, you can avoid all contention in marriage.

2. We Use a Lot of Dishes

There's two of us. We eat out more than we should. I tend to eat meals that don't use utensils. How on earth do we go through dishes so fast??? It's one of those mysteries I may never understand.

3. Cleaning is Hard

I'm a custodian, so I spend Monday through Friday from 5:00 to 9:00 cleaning in the student center on campus. This include vacuuming offices, taking out giant trash bags, and cleaning four bathrooms. So I have a hard time finding the energy and drive to clean my apartment. I hate the mess, but I am so sick of cleaning! And I get paid to clean at my job, at home I get to clean, then make a bigger mess, then clean again, and repeat again and again until I die.

So to help me us keep our home clean, I've made a list of the main things that need to be done this week (ie. cleaning the toilet, mopping the tile, vacuuming the living room) and during the week when we aren't in class or working, we can just take a little bit of time and finish one small thing on the list and then eventually all the work can get done! We're just starting it this week so I don't know how well it'll work, but I'll let you know.

4. Life Gets in the Way

Have you ever heard the quote: "Distance makes the heart grow fondest"? (Or the BNL version: "Absence makes the heart grow fungus.") Well after Chris and I spent eight months in a long distance relationship, we would both tell you that's crap. However, the quote does hold a bit of truth.

The first three months of our marriage we were constantly together, and it was fantastic! We loved being able to spend so much time together! Now we're in school and working and our schedules are so crazy that we seem to hardly see each other anymore! And while I miss spending all my time with him, the above quote has a point. It's like that Josh Turner song, "The longer the waiting the sweeter the kiss." (and I highly suggest you click on that link, it's one of my most favorite songs ever) The short times I get to see Chris now, are the sweetest moments and I love them so much. While our long distance relationship was hard, this not seeing each other as often makes things better.
...Does that make sense? That's sounds weird and wrong, like I'm saying I don't want to see my husband or something, but I do. I love him and would love to spend all my time with him, but life gets in the way, and we just have to accept that and make it work. And we make it work and we make our love grow even stronger in spite of it all.

5. Love Never Stops Growing

You can't talk about love without throwing a Brad Paisley song in there. Chris and I met almost two years ago. After a month of dating, we both knew we wanted to marry each other. We loved each other then and we still do, but it's so much stronger. Love never stops growing, and I love that so much! I'm so grateful to have such a strong love and to have it always keep growing! Cue another Brad Paisley song:

HAPPY ONE YEAR!!!

HAPPY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY TO MY BLOG!!! 

In honor of the one year anniversary of my blog (which was technically last week), I'm going to share my top ten favorite posts I've written on this blog (from oldest to newest)! Enjoy!! 

1. 50 Things About Me 

I love this post because it was the very first one. It's really random, but it started the whole thing so I love it.

2. Why I Love Demi Lovato 

I love Demi Lovato and in this post I really started to let you all into my personal life and my past so I've always loved this post. (I apologize that some of the pictures don't show up correctly)

3.  The Things I've Learned by Being in a Serious Relationship 

This post was written before I was even engaged, and now I'm married. It's just a really important post to me and I just really like this one. 

4. 1095 Page Views

This one makes me laugh because I was so excited to reach 1000 page views. Now I'm at 18,456 page views and I just keep getting more every day. I'm so thankful for this blog and it's humbling to look back at where it all started and how I got to this point. 

5. A Day in the Life of a Childcare Provider

I absolutely loved working in the daycare. It was my favorite think in the world and my most favorite job I've ever had. We had crazy moments and hectic days, but it didn't matter. I loved that job because it was so much fun working with those kids. (I'm currently stressing out and considering switching my major so I can teach kindergarten, and writing this only makes me want to change my major more...) I also really like this post HERE or HERE, they are both related and I would love for you to check them out, but they don't need to be included in this list.

6. I'm Pathetic and I Like It

Best post ever. Being engaged was so much fun! Getting proposed to was the greatest thing ever! It's so great to look back at a post like this and remember how I felt and how excited I was. (PS, being married is better than all of that, I love my husband!!)

7. Happy New Year Eve!

I hope to always put up a New Year Resolution post, but this one is the first, so it's special to me. 

8. Outfits of the Week

I wanted to start branching out my viewership and posting things about different topics that more and more people would enjoy. Everything has changed now, but this was the start.

9. Fight The New Drug

This is an organization that is very important to me and that I love, so this post is important to me. 

10. Why I Write on This Blog

I wrote this today actually, but I love it because it explains everything. This blog is my journal, I leave out the most personal stuff, but I share a lot with all my readers, and I love doing it! I love writing on this blog! It's weird, it's not the best blog in the world, but I love it and I will never stop writing because this is what makes me happy. 

I'd also have to say I loved when I won the Liebster Award, when I started Pinterest Sundays, when I wrote about my favorite fictional couples, the things I learned from being married for three weeks, when I wrote about my honeymoon, and how I write a lot about cows. 

I'm so grateful for this blog, I can't believe it's been a year already!! I absolutely love writing on this blog and I promise you, this is just the beginning of something great. There are always changes and additions to this blog, because I want to keep my readers entertained. 

If there is anything you want me to write about, let me know! If you want me to review a product for you: email me, I'd be happy to! If you want to be a guest blogger, I'd absolutely love to have you do it! If you want to be featured on my blog (through Web Video Wednesday, Song of the Week Saturday, or other posts), please contact me and I'll gladly write about you on my blog! 

Don't forget to join my book club, #dancingcowbookclub. Don't forget to leave comments and send emails! I respond to each and every one so please don't hesitate to ask questions or tell me a story, I'll love to hear it! 

Happy Tuesday: Date Night Idea

So Sunday was our 3 month anniversary of being married. YAY! Being married has seriously been the greatest thing ever! It's so much fun! You should try it sometime in your life.

We wanted to celebrate so last night we had a date night! It was a typical sort of date night, dinner and a movie, but I absolutely HAVE TO talk about this dinner place!! It was so delicious and so much fun! So if you're in Logan, Utah, you have to check this out.

So when I saw Fiddler on the Roof, the program told me about this Kabuki place that I had never been to, and was pretty sure I'd never seen before. I don't like sushi, but it has hibachi grilling, where they cook the food in front of you. It sounded like a fun idea and they had a fairly good deal so we decided to check it out.

We got the two for $30 deal. This got us drinks, soup, salad, an appetizer or dessert and two meats with the rice and steamed vegetables. I know $30 seems a lot for a meal to college students like myself, but this place was very much worth the money.

So they started us out with our soup (so delicious), salads (best dressing ever) and our appetizer. We picked the won tons (I'm pretty sure), and I wasn't a huge fan of them. But I loved the soup and salad. Both were very delicious. The soup looked really weird because it just looked like water with some mushrooms floating in it (and I don't like mushrooms) but I gave it a try and it was super delicious!

Then he started to cook in front of us. He did all the cool tricks and he was lots of fun. Chris caught some food in his mouth, it was just a fun experience. (In the background there are a ton of photos, this is because they have a birthday club and they love to celebrate birthdays! All those photos, and more, are from birthdays. Chris and I signed up for their birthday club so we can see what kind of deals we get.)

Chris ordered beef and salmon. His plate looked like this:

And PS, those plates are huge, it may not look like a lot, but it really was.
I ordered the chicken and salmon, my plate looked like this:

Both of us absolutely loved our salmon!! It was cooked perfectly and I can't even describe how good that salmon was. It was perfect. And I've had a lot of salmon in my life, but this one possibly tops it all. (Notice how my plate is much more orderly?)

We both loved our meals! They were so delicious in every way! I highly recommend this restaurant. USU student, it makes for a great date night!! Wink wink!

We tried to take some pictures but my camera is awful in dim lighting. It only works in full daylight or night. Any in-between light and it doesn't like to cooperate. I'm kind of wanting a new camera. Anyways. So then we also got pictures outside with the sign:

And some guy offered to take our picture but the strap got caught on my wrist and my poor camera fell to the cement... it took a chip out of it and wouldn't like the guy take a picture, but it seems to be doing fine now... fingers crossed... I need it to last a while longer.

After eating we drove around and found an elementary school playground where we played on the swings. I'm obsessed with swings and could play on a swingset all day long.

When the time came we drove to the movie theater to see Despicable Me 2. So I'm absolutely in love with Despicable Me (the first one) and I could honestly watch it every day, and the second one did not live up to my expectations. It had good parts, funny parts, really entertaining parts, but as a whole, it wasn't the best movie. I was sad. I expected more from it. But it's cute and Agnes is just adorable so you have to watch it for her.

So there's a lovely date night for anyone living in Logan, Utah! Seriously check out Kabuki, it was so good and so worth the cost!

Happy Tuesday everyone! 

Giveaway!!!

It's my blog's one year anniversary and I wanted to do a giveaway, but I'm too poor to do so. So I'm going to send you all to my friend's blog, where she is doing a giveaway!!

Meet Kalee Hulka, owner of Fred Rongo, a modest fashion blog. Kalee and I grew up in the same neighborhood as kids. I absolutely love her blog to death and I love that we've become closer friends because of our blogs.

You can read all about her giveaway HERE. I'm so happy that she and her blog have been doing so well and I urge you all to check it out!

Welcome to August!!

It's only August 3rd but I can already tell this will be a great month! 

Today my husband and I got home from a much needed vacation in Jackson Hole! My grandma has a condo there and my family has been going there every year since I was eight, maybe, I honestly can't remember when we first started going. I absolutely love our annual trips and this year was probably my favorite Jackson Hole trip ever, possibly because it was the first year I got to spend it with my new husband. This was Chris's first Jackson Hole experience and we both had an amazing time!

I CAUGHT MY FIRST FISH THIS MONTH!!! I can't even begin to describe how excited and dramatic my reaction was when I saw Mr. Fishie jump out of the water and felt him on my line! It was the greatest freakout of my life and one of the most exciting things to happen to me!

I start school again this month!!! I'm super excited! I haven't been in school since April of 2012. I honestly cannot wait to go back! And even though our FAFSA and financial aid hasn't been all figured out (the Finacial Aid Office's fault, not mine) I just know that everything is going to turn out. It's going to be a great semester!

I have this feeling that I'm going to find a job this month. I don't know what it is. It's weird since our whole vacation I didn't do any job searching so that kind of put me back a bit, but I just have the feeling this month things are going to start turning better.

My best friend gets married this month!!! I am super excited for her!!! I'm also excited because I know her and her mom well enough to know that this will be a very beautiful and elegant wedding. I've already seen what I'm wearing as a bridesmaid and it totally beats what my bridesmaids wore (sorry friend, but I still loved your outfits).

This month marks three months that my husband and I have been married. That's a quarter of a year! Ha ha. But I'm just so happy to have him around. He truly makes me life better and I love him with all my heart!

This month is also the one year anniversary of this blog!!!! YAY!!! I really wanted to do a giveaway, but considering I'm unemployed and in debt, that's not really possible right now. But I am very happy about my blog being a year old. I'll write more on this later, on the actually date of the anniversary.

I won a blog award this month! I'm super excited about it! It may not mean much to everyone, but it means a great deal to me to be recognized. You can read all about it HERE.

Lastly, but this isn't a good thing, my husband and I are getting rid of our Comcast account because we're broke. So I probably won't be blogging quite as much. I am close to campus and I get free Wi-Fi there, but it's not quite as convenient as having it at home. So I do apologize I won't be writing as much in the next couple months, but it's just until we're more financially stable.

I have a lot of post coming up this weekend though while I still have internet access in my home. I will be writing all about my Jackson Hole trip, my surgery and my suddenly positive attitude. So come back soon to read more!! :)
