Back in Provo...

Very sadly we are back in Provo after a nice weekend at my house in Mink Creek. We went up on Saturday after I got off work. We came back early Monday morning, which made for a very long day but it was so worth it. A small trip was better than no trip at all. It was so wonderful to spend time with my parents. And spending a couple days in the country, away from everything, was absolutely amazing-I only wish we would have had more time to spend there. It is so relaxing being home. It is so beautiful there!
Monday morning we left my house at 7:30am so that we could get back to Provo in time for my 11 o' clock class. Spencer isn't much of a morning person, so he fell asleep pretty quickly after being in the car for awhile. So I drove most of the way with him being asleep and me left to my thoughts. I must preface, to those who don't know how much I hate Provo, that I always dread coming back to Provo after some time away. Monday was even worse, if that's possible. The second we got into Utah County the drivers changed. I was already going more than ten over the speed limit and cars were whizzing past me! They were tailing me then whipping to the side to pass me (mind you I was even in the HOV lane). It made me instantly frustrated and dreading even more being back in Provo. I feel like the drivers here are a great indicator of the type of people that are here. Rude, impatient, and egocentric! That is a generalization and I realize that not everyone here is like that. However, many people are and I get extremely frustrated with it.
Enough of my venting, though. Spencer and I bought some tie dye stuff and we are super excited to do it. We got shirts, socks, and a skirt for me to tie dye. I can't wait to do it, hopefully this weekend.
I just have to brag about my husband for a minute. He is so amazing. He is so good to me and I love him. He loves me so much and is so wonderful at showing and telling me that all the time. I am so grateful that he is such a good cook. He cooks a lot for us and it is always sooo delicious! Tonight we had a chicken and fruit salad that was so yummy, but very healthy, which is something we are really needing to work on right now. (Of course I say this right after we both eat a bowl of ice cream.)
Well now I am just rambling. So in short, we are doing well. Just trudging along and making the best of things. I may really dislike Provo, but I would much rather be here with Spencer than trying to do it alone. I would rather do anything with him than alone, really.
