So I have some down time before I have to be somewhere. So the thought occurred, hey you should update, ya know, make one post into two !

Sundays are usually my favorite days. They used to be my favorite when they were actually a day of rest. Not so much anymore. We always have somewhere to be, which I secretly love, but definitely miss. Chris is asleep on the couch, so he'd say they still are days of rest ! I had a talk today. There were only two speakers, which meant my talk had to be long. Ugh, when did I become a grown up and have to have a 15+ minute talk ! Make it stop ! I don't want to be a grown up anymore. This was also our first time back to church since Chris dyed his hair black [we were geeks and dressed up for HP and he was Harry Potter for the premiere, hence the black hair] and it was fun to see everyone's reactions. They keep thinking that he's his older brother. Who lives in Arizona. How does that work?

I thought about giving a brief "our first year" kinda thing, with only the highlights. And I guess kind of where we are now.

We got married. Moved to WV. He worked like crazy. I didn't. We had a puppy for a few days. Had to give it back. Talk about depressing ! I started working at the Disney Store. Love it ! He started school. Normal life stuff. We got a sugar glider named Zoe. She's different and adorable. I started work at Marshall. Yay for using my degree! Nothing to exciting for a bit. Chris started his own lawn service. He likes being his own boss. I went from Primary teacher, to Primary Presidency, to Achievement day leader and whatever else they need. Chris broke his arm. Chasing a dog, its a great story. We got a sweet little puppy a few weeks ago. Daisy. I love her. She's tiny. And that's kind of where we are.

No babies. None really anytime soon as far as I know. Our puppy is fine for us. We like being us and our own little family.

We went to Palmyra last weekend to see his family in the Hill Cumorah Pageant. That was a blast. Except the driving part. That about killed us. But seeing the sights and seeing his family after three weeks was nice. I love being there. Knowing everything that happened in that place. I love the First Vision and all that it means. The faith Joseph Smith had. It's such a wonderful feeling to walk around the Sacred Grove. I love being there.

We also got to go to his cousin Angela's Endowment session :] That was a really great experience. We haven't been to the Temple in a looong time. I hate it. But it was wonderful to be in the Temple with my husband, and pretty much his mom's whole side of the family. I wish there was always that much family at the Temple.

I want to start working out tomorrow. We'll see how that works out. Chris says he'll start working out with me when he starts seeing results. I don't think that's very fair. We eat a lot and it's not been very good to us. I almost wish I was pregnant so I'd have an excuse to be bigger ! How horrible am I ! We always joke about being hot for eachother. We need to be better at that.. !

I think I'll leave this post with that. I don't want to get rambley because I will !

Have a happy Pioneer Day ! Remember what they did for us and try to be like them! It's what my talk was about today! So I'm in the zone !! It's almost August. Boy does time fly !

First post !

I think first posts are always exciting. Hopefully all posts stay this exciting.

I've been thinking about doing this blog for along time. I like keeping up with friends who just got married, and all the adjustments and such. But my life was a little crazy (as I'm sure everyone's is) and there was no time to blog. Then the title hit me: One year down, Eternity to go. Sweet ! There's the name of my blog! I don't have to tell you about how fun it is to be married, all the crazy things we learned about each other, the silly little things that drove us nuts. I can skip the all that stuff.  You get to jump right into the good stuff !

I've decided I like reading people's blogs, and MAYBE they might like reading mine. I can't promise that Chris and my life is anything special, but it is to us, and maybe you might find something in our lives too.

So a little more, then it's time for bed, because this dang thing took to long to customize !

Chris is my wonderful husband and I am his wife [hopefully he'd say wonderful back]. We've been married a little over a year and its definitely been a roller coaster. But who doesn't like roller coasters? All that matters is once the rides stopped, you still wanna get right back on, sitting with the same person?

We live in WV, woo ! He's going to school and working and I work. And work. Besides church and his family, that pretty much wraps up our life. Told you it was interesting. We'll be here probably another 3 years, then we're off to the Air Force. Chris wants to fly BIG planes, and he will. Because I have a determination that people don't mess with. Oh yeah, and it's been his life long dream. From there, ten long years later, he'll be done, and we'll find somewhere to live, and he'll keep flying big planes, just not for the government. Can we say flight perks?? I can't wait. I love flying. And visiting people.

So far, thats it. Talk about a future plan. We've got... the next 14-ish years planned. How crazy! Considering we never have further than a week planned.

How much more details can I give you before you fall asleep??
We got married in the SLC Temple <3 I miss it there everyday. Pictures of it usually make me cry. The Temple really can be and should be our second homes.  Oh yeah, we're LDS [just in case you didn't catch that]. We love it. Being members of this church as helped us in our lives now and before we were married. It's made us into the people we are and will help us be the people the Lord wants for us. And how exciting that we get to help eachother.

Being married is pretty awesome. I highly recommend it.
Keep reading. Who knows what might happen in our lives. But we have another day done, and a lot more to go.
