We're Back!

So we completed the 40 hour drive back to Provo yesterday afternoon. We drove the first 35 hours straight so it was pretty crazy but it was worth it to save an extra day or two so we could get settled in before school starts. This summer went by so fast I can't even believe it! We did soooo much and it was such a blast minus a few annoyances (like our landlady in Boston...who was crazy weird). Now we just have to get everything unpacked and then we start school. It is hard for me to believe that this is my third year of college and Blake and I have been married for almost a year and a half...crazyness...time really does fly!

Thoughts...

Ok so it is a little after one in the morning and for some reason I can't sleep even though I have to get up and go to work in the morning. I can't stop thinking about how this is our last week in Boston and soon we will back on the road to return to Provo. After the 40 hour drive we then have to move into our apartment (thankfully someone was finally willing to work with us : ) and then we have to find jobs and get everything ready for school which starts the 30th! So as you can tell I have a lot on my mind. However, even though this summer has been a crazy whirlwind I am really glad that we decided to come to Boston and do something different. Blake has been able to beef up his resume with his legal internship and I have had a lot of time to explore the city and see if we could handle living here in a couple of years if Blake decides to go to law school in the area. This summer has also given me time to reflect on my life and the path that I am on. When I tell people my age along with the fact that I am married and have moved all over the country in the past couple of years they look at me like I am crazy and tell me that they couldn't do it themselves. I am glad that I am able to step outside of my comfort zone and go to places that are unfamiliar and do new things on my own. I think it is good to get outside of your comfort zone because it forces you to grow...something my stubborn personality often tries to stifle. I am just so grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ which allows me to have faith that I can achieve anything I want to if I set my mind to it and allows that growth to happen. I know I often take for granted the many blessings and opportunities that the Lord has given me in my life but I am very grateful for them and I want to take full advantage of all that He has given me. I am also so grateful for my wonderful husband and all the sacrifices that he makes for me. He is such a wonderful person and the longer we are together the more I love and respect him. Well those are just the things I have been thinking about...maybe I will be able to go to sleep now...

Maroon 5 happiness!!

My husband is the best!

So Blake surprised me with an an amazing Maroon 5 concert this past Monday! He had told me to take off work that night a couple weeks in advance but refused to tell me what we were actually doing just that it was a special FHE. Turns out he had been planning to take me to the concert for a whole month! I had no idea until we were right outside the venue in South Boston...I just thought we were going to this good seafood place which is conveniently right next to the venue. On the marquee I saw that it said Maroon 5 and Owl City and got super pumped. What an awesome surprise! Blake always plans the best surprises for me! Now I just have to come up with an epic surprise for him. Any ideas? Anyways though the concert was awesome and we had a blast! Then yesterday  Blake took off work and we went to Cape Cod finally. It was a beautiful sunny day...the water was icy cold but still bearable to swim in...however I did get an intense sunburn but I'm so white I figured that I would. Cape Cod is really pretty but it is always busy. The beaches and roads were super full even on a Wednesday! But we still had fun...plus we got to eat Taco Bell on the way home which was exciting (Taco Bells along with other normal restaurants are hard to find around Boston). We only have ten more days in Boston before we leave : ( Although it is sad I'm ready to start school again and get things back to normal...now we just have to find an apartment and jobs back in Provo...fun right?
