Well it's that time again-Mother's Day! For me, that means busy busy busy! Full time hours last week and more than full time this week. I can't even tell you how many arrangements I made just today! We are all working so hard. This is just going to be a very long week and I will be very excited when it's over!
Other than that craziness, things are going well. Spencer and I are happy as can be. We got him a new church suit and new church shoes. They look absolutely spectacular on him! He is so handsome. He's such a good husband. He has been so supportive of how busy I have been lately. He's so loving and so good to me. We have had so much fun with his family as of late. He has a new cousin, Tatiana, who is just a little doll.
Alyssa, Spencer's sister, has been down this past weekend and we have had a ton of fun talking with her. She looks so cute with her baby belly! Spencer got to spend a large part of the day with her today and he enjoyed it.
Spencer has been doing a lot with a student film lately. He has been absolutely loving it. He got to wrangle sheep this past weekend and he had a fun time of it. He did get pretty burned though and he has quite the red face! We heard from his family recently that they are moving to San Antonio! We are so excited that they will be in Texas. It is still far away but it is much better than the east coast, which we were expecting. They will be coming to the states this summer and we are so happy to see them again.
Anyway. I am just rambling and not paying close attention to what I am writing, so I will close. All that needs to be said is that I am very busy and tired and the week just barely started. But Spencer and I are doing very well and trying to live/enjoy life to the fullest!

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.

Missing the Music
So I was at home cleaning today just listening to music. And of course I was singing my heart out to it all. There's nothing like good ol' country and belting out to it. :) As I was singing, it made me realize just how much I miss it. I haven't really done any singing anymore and I miss it so much. Which made me start thinking about the piano. I can't express how deeply I miss being able to sit down at the piano and just release everything. I realize now just how badly I took for granted having a piano downstairs in my home. I know I haven't really had any formal lessons but I love it so much and I wish we had a piano sooo bad! I used to write songs all the time, or I would just sit down at the piano and play whatever I felt-it was so therapeutic. I haven't done that in a long time... I just really miss the music that used to consume so much of my life.
Anyway, so many changes have occurred recently. Changes regarding school and work, at least. After a lot of thought and prayer we have made a decision. I am stopping school after this semester so that I can work full time to put Spencer through school. With him trying to go into film and get into the film program, it just is too hard for him to work while trying to do everything else he needs to. In order for him to get the experience and resume he needs, he needs to be able to just focus on school and be able to work on student film projects so that he can get hands on experience. That is what filmmakers looks at, but if he is working while going to school it will make it a lot harder for him to get the experience he needs.
So I will start working full time the week of finals. I only have one final to take, which I can take the saturday before the full week of finals, so it will be great. I am actually quite excited to just work. I am to get more experience with my job, since I hope to someday have my own floral business (when we move away from here).
Now aside from all of that, we are doing pretty well. A little stressed with the end of the semester, but we are doing well. We had a great day today! I picked Spencer up from campus and we ate at a new diner in Provo which was super yummy! Then we went to the park and watched the ducks (my favorite!), then tossed the frisbee around and just had lots of fun together. Then we went to Hobby Lobby and just had a blast meandering around. We actually got stuff to do tie dye shirts which I am super excited about! haha. But life is going well. We are loving the married life and enjoying it to the fullest!
