And it continues...

So...Scottie and I have moved into our new place. It was (excuse my language) H-E-double-Barbie-legs to move down here from our bigger apartment into this smaller one but we made it happen. :) We figured out a way to fit our dressers into our closet so that we have more room in our bedroom. Yay! Now we are just trying to figure out how to keep it cool with the humidity at a livable level. We are also in the apartments closest to University Parkway so...WE HEAR EVERYTHING!!! Every car that goes by makes a lovely long sound. Fortunately it is not that bad when the windows are closed, but every now and then some crazy college students zoom by making a lot of annoying noise and we are reminded where we live. :) Fortunately though the sound is like white noise now, so we have made due. Everything looks the best we can make it and is pretty much put in its place except for the fact that we have no couch. :) We have been sitting on camping chairs for...hmmm...at least a good month or so. But it has actually been ok. Camping chairs are a lot more comfortable then you may think; except ours are breaking now so we have to be a little careful. : /

The good news about all of this is that we know what couch we are getting, we just have to bring it to our house. And I am living now right across the street from where I work and go to school!!! So for my 7:30am ballet class, I can wake up at 7:00am and still make it there fairly on time. I don't have my make up on and I have to run across creation to get there, but hey, it works. : D
Scottie does have a significantly longer commute than he used to. But after considering that he was the one who told us that we should move down to Provo for my schooling and also the fact that I have already asking him a billion times if he is ok with it, upon which he kept responding, "Yes! Please stop asking me!" I have discovered that I have a wonderful sacrificing man for a husband and I could not have asked for more. He is so loyal and helpful to me, I do not know what I would do without him. :)

So...it continues. Scott goes to work, I go to school and that is pretty much it for now. :) And despite our more inexpensive apartment we do like it. It is quaint and cute…just a little smaller than we are used to. Plus, the ward is fabulous! After the first day was a little odd because we felt like a couple of clones (we are going to a married-student-ward now) but after getting used to that initial change we are good. We like being around people who are in our same situation; it makes us not feel so young or along. The only thing I miss is the primary kids! A ward is not a ward with the cute primary children! I love family wards and I am excited to get back into one. But for now I am excited to created memories with the married student ward. I am currently the new ward organist. Yay! I just have to figure a couple things out about the organ and I can still play it, even if I don’t know the feet yet. I am excited! It is going to be great!

We have done some pretty fun things this summer though and I plan on posting pictures soon. Hopefully. :) But for now it’s just keep swimming, just keep swimming...and smiling occasionally. :)
