Before I got married, I used to think how I wouldn't become one of those people who drop off the face of the earth once they tie the knot.  I used to think how easy it would be to stay in touch with all my single friends and how, of course, I would stay current on such important matters like updating my blog.  Oh, how naive I was. Truth be told, I think I have done a fairly good job at staying in touch with my single friends, but keeping current on this thing was just too much.  Rather than trying to back-track on the last year, I will begin with what is happening now.  David and I will be celebrating 10 months of marriage next week, June 2nd.  For those of you who don't do math, that means we were married on August 2nd, 2008.  It has been a wonderful 10 months.  People kept telling us that the first year was the hardest.  Unless it gets really bad in June and July, I would have to disagree.  I think David and I went through a lot of our "rough patches" before we ever got married, so there haven't been that many surprises or adjustments, for me at least.  I think David will tell you that the only surprise is how weird I could get.  Yes, it is true, I am becoming increasingly weirder by the moment, but for those of you who know David, you must admit it is because of his influence.  By weird, I mean (mostly) fun.  We have a lot of fun together, and it is often our goal to creep each other out, in a very loving way.  Like how David put his laptop in the dark hallway with an image of killer spider eyes pulled up from a national geographic website, waiting for me to turn the corner and scream bloody murder and trip into the next room, knocking down my instruments and falling on the floor.  Or how he thinks that impersonating "salad fingers" will put me in the mood for romance.  That sort of thing.  I won't mention all the weird things I do, except you could ask David about "robot arms."

All in all, it has been a very great year.  I got a job working for the Art Institute of Salt Lake City, teaching interior design classes, and I like it.  Don't want to do it forever (too many student behavioral issues I didn't expect I'd have to deal with....is this college or elementary school?) but it is good for now.  David is still working at Digis Internet, and he has been really successful with it.  He is now the Team Lead over all the Salt Lake City installers.  I'm so glad he has a great job and enjoys it.  We have been considering taking advantage of this great housing market and interest rates, so perhaps we will be in our own house shortly.  We rent a great place on Foothill drive, and really like our family ward and neighbors.  I am the Mia Maids advisor and David is the Sunday School President.  They put us right to work when we moved in.  

There is so much more I could say about the past year, but I will leave that up to your imagination.  Hopefully, I will get better at  keeping my blog updated.  I'm sure everyone who used to read it doesn't anymore because they figured I got lost.  Well, now I am found.
