Married Life Update

So now that almost three months have gone by, we decided maybe it's time to come out of hiding and reconnect with the world. We're doing really well and loving married life. Now more than ever we really understand what is meant by "Men are that they might have joy." Marriage has been a wonderful blessing.

Rob is working hard with school, he's taking some tough classes but is loving what he's learning. He cut some of his hours at work so he can dedicate more time to his studies. I've heard more about the body makeup and functions in the past three weeks to last me a lifetime! We're looking forward to being able to apply for nursing school after this semester. Our hope is that he'll get in to school next fall, and four semesters later will have his bachelor's degree as an RN. One year of work as a RN, followed by CRNA school (2 years) and we'll be done! We're excited for our future.

I'm still working at Love Communications as an account coordinator, working at the only ad agency in Salt Lake that hasn't had layoffs or pay decreases, so I definitely consider myself lucky. The recession has been tough for this industry, but I'm hanging in there.

I was called to be second counselor in the YW presidency, which has been fun. We live in Rose Park, which is considered the "ghetto" of Salt Lake City, so these girls definitely deal with things that I only heard about in movies. I hope I can be the kind of leader they need. They are fun, sweet girls.

We're counting down the days until Christmas (long ways off, we know!) as we are going to Minnesota for the Holidays to be with my family. We can't wait to see them and have a fun little vacation. Until then, we'll continue our routine of working hard during the week and enjoying the time together on the weekends. We're in love!

Hey Nicole, This is Candice McPhee.. I don't know if you remember Ian and I from the wedding or not, but we're Rob's friends from high school. I just wanted to say hi and I'm glad to hear married life is treating you guys well. We should get together soon and go to dinner or something. :)

Did I know about your new calling?! That's mine too!!! My brain is fried, so I can't remember if you already told me. So fun...I never thought I'd be back in YW so quickly. I still feel like I am one of them. Hope it's going well!!

Hey Nicole! Glad to hear you'll be in MN for Christmas this year. So will we! And seeing as your parents moved in 'around the corner' from my parents' house...we'll see you there.
