I revamped the blog to make it less girlie, I guess. Plus it just needed a change. It has been the same for too long.
Here at the LeBaron residence, Mark sits next to me doing homework while I'm surfing the web and reading my friends' blogs. I constantly find myself laughing out loud at situations or the things people say, and then I have to explain it to Mark or show him what is so funny. One day Mark asked me if I was going to start posting again on my blog. He's asked me that several times now and I kept saying I wanted to make it look better, or I wanted to wait until I took pictures of our new place, etc. etc. Basically I was just making excuses because I was lazy, and I finally decided to get this thing up and running again.
So...ta da! Hope you like it. And I hope we can come up with some interesting things to say.
First thing, we moved! We moved from Provo to Salt Lake basically so that I could be closer to work. The drive to and from Primary Children's was too hard for me. I know, there are many people who do it any way. But all I have to say to them is they're crazy! I don't know, maybe they could handle it. But for me, I had come to the end of my rope. I was always just too tired. I would be head-bobbing the whole way home (regardless of whether it was after a day shift or a night shift), had to have the music blasted so loud, freeze myself out, try to sing at the top of my lungs, and I constantly had to be chewing something otherwise I was scared that I would fall asleep and cause a major car pileup on the freeway.
So we moved. And things have been MUCH better with traveling to and from work. It only takes me about 15 minutes. Which is beautiful. I get more sleep and I'm happier.
Because we moved, Mark quit his job and transferred to the U of U. He mostly likes the U, but it has a different environment from UVU that he's trying to get used to. I'm not so sure he loves taking the bus to and from school, but he's a trooper about it. He is enjoying not having to work, however. And I like that I get to see him more.
Unfortunately, I haven't taken pictures of our new place for two reasons. I'll work on it.
1) All of our pictures/frames still need to be hung up so the walls aren't so bare. Who wants to look at pictures of a naked wall?
2) The place is not completely put together. We still need to sell the couches we have that will not fit in our new place, get new ones, and get a desk/filing cabinet thing so we can get rid of a bunch of boxes stashed in a corner of our bedroom.
Mark and I are loving married life. It's so much better than being single and dating. Sure, there are some ups and downs. And a whole new level of things to cause stress (aka finances). But we work through them together and we really are truly happy.
