WhERe DoEs ThE TiMe Go?!

I'm a little late on this post..but what can I say we've been enjoying our summer! I can't believe I've been married to my best friend for two years. Seriously though, where does the time go? I still feel like I'm just out of high school how can I have already been married for two years.


This year we were up at Bear Lake for a family vacation with the Daly's over our anniversary. We spent the weekend playing games and enjoying the company. On Monday we went golfing and then swimming. It wasn't anything big, but we still have as much fun together as we did when we first fell in love.

We're so little

I love my best friend and can't wait for a lifetime full of anniversaries with him.

OuR UpDaTE!

Well...Landon has now been accepted to USN. What does this mean? We still don't know! It's so hard to decide what to do. Four years is a long time and moving to Oklahoma would come with big changes, but going to USN would come with big debt!

I can think of a BILLION reasons why we should stay. Only a few of why we should go, but the closer I get to summer being here the more excited I am for Landon to start the beginning of the next four busy years ahead of us.
The greatest bit of news is that Landon has been put on the alternate list at the U. He started out at number 20 and is now number 4.

I'm being very patient, trying to learn all the lessons the Lord has in store for me so that he can bless us with a phone call from the U. It would be an answer to prayers if Landon got in there. Either way, It's a miracle...the stats are 2.5 out of 3. For the first year applying it can't get much better than that.

The semester is almost over. Landon has just a little over a month left and I have 3 weeks. We have big plans for our summer, especially if it's our last one in Utah for awhile.

I had a relaxing 21st Birthday. It lasted almost an entire week, couldn't have been any better! I did a little shopping, made a cute apron, had a fun time celebrating on Friday with my family, Saturday with Travis and Moriah and then spending Sunday and Monday all day with Landon. Watching chick flicks, staying up late and sleeping in!

For now that's it...next time I hope I can put that we'll be at the University of Utah for the next four years.

Feeling Blessed!

Landon had his interview with USN yesterday. Although, it could be pretty much forever before we know if he's accepted..(they said acceptance letters will be out by May 13, that is FOR.EV.ER to wait) I'm feeling more and more content with how things in our life are turning out. I'm still having a hard time thinking about moving, but I have a great husband.

He came home yesterday to tell me, "Well, I think if I don't get in there then it's the Lord's way of telling us we need to be in Oklahoma." I know that it's true, the Lord has a specific plan for us and that is a huge blessing. I'm blessed to have a husband that knows how to comfort me and make me realize that whatever ends up happening in the months to come will be the best thing for us.

If we end up moving it will honestly be a huge challenge for me. I know that Landon will be extremely busy with school and I don't like branching out to meet new people. This is my comfort zone and the thought of being out of it less than pleasing.

During the times of trial the blessings can be the greatest! I'm overwhelmed with blessings and the knowledge I have about the Lord's plan even though Landon sometimes has to remind me.

My Husband, the Pharmacist!

I have to start this story going back to a few weeks ago. First, Landon had an interview at Oklahoma University on Jan. 14 and after it they said that he would receive an email in 5 days to 4 weeks and it would say one of the following: denial, waiting list or accepted.

So..pretty much every day Landon anxiously checks his email and yesterday I'm at school when I get a phone call so I text Landon to tell him I'm still in class. His reply was "call me when you get out of class". As I read that my heart fluttered and I automatically thought that he had heard something from OU. Well, he's just a big ol' tease and it was nothing at all. That night I told him that when he actually finds out he better not just tell me to call him if I'm at work or school, just send me a text so I know...

Then again today while I'm in class Landon calls this time the conversation goes like this through text

Me: Hey, I'm still in class

Landon: Ok. Just call me as soon as you're out.

Me: Oh...you're so mean for doing that.

Landon: I'm just trying to tease you. I GOT ACCEPTED!

Right then I started crying and showed my friend the text. I really don't remember what my first thoughts were, it was just so shocking.

I cried the entire drive home from school just thinking about telling my parents. I cried thinking about living there for 4 LONG years and having our first baby away from home (there is no baby soon to come, but I hope there will be before the next 4 years pass). I cried thinking about Landon leaving in August and me staying here until January to finish my last semester of school. It was all overwhelming. I cried with my mom when Landon showed her the email, I cried when Landon told my dad over the phone. I cried when I sent Moriah a text and she told me that I just made her bad day worse because she doesn't want us to move.

After all of this I'm still so proud of Landon. I'm proud of him for getting accepted the first round of applications. I'm so happy for him that he finally gets to think about starting down the path of his chosen career. I'm glad that we can start counting down the last 4 years of paying tuition and buying school books.

Now, I'm still praying that he gets another email from the U of U to schedule an interview and that his interview with USN goes as well as the last one did. It would be a dream come true to stay here.

Regardless of how things turn out. I'm sure there will be more tearful days to come, but I have to count my many blessings. I'm truly grateful that with out fail, next year we'll start a new adventure in our lives.

Way to go Landon, I'm so proud of you and all your hard work!

A LiTtLe CHaNgE

Today we said Goodbye to our Jeep. Although I was a little sad thinking about the fact that this was the first car we bought together and it's already sold it was a big relief because....


15 Days ago we bought this Beauty! It's a great feeling to be a two car family again.

Landon's Dream came true and I can't lie..I love it too . I really love having seat warmers. That's by far my favorite part, but the fact that I now get to park in the garage since the truck won't fit is a close second.

The truck was a steal and the timing for getting the jeep sold was perfect! We're completely satisfied with this little change

WiShiNg aNd WaiTiNG...

Landon starting turning in his applications to Pharmacy School and now we're anxiously waiting. We could be waiting for months or years before he gets THE "acceptance" letter. Even if there's no success this year we'll have more options next year. No matter how the waiting turns out I'll probably cry.

If we don't get THE letter I'll cry because for another entire year we'll just be in no-where-land. Waiting to think about life after school, buying a house and knowing for sure this will be our home forever.

If we get THE letter from Oklahoma I'll REALLY cry and there will be few tears of joy. I don't want to move away, only see family a couple times a year and then who knows when we'll be able to come back. I try not to think about it. If it happens, I'll survive somehow, but It'll be hard for me. Of course the thought of having an end in sight will be the few tears of Joy that I have.

Now the biggest wish, I won't even be picky...Just let us get THE letter from the University of Southern Nevada (they have an extension in South Jordan) or the University of Utah. Then I'll cry only tears of joy! We'll be close to family for birthday parties, holidays, Sunday dinners and then we'll be able to find the perfect home and think about when we want to start a family.

I just have to keep reminding myself that whatever is best for us will happen. When the time is right we'll get THE letter we've been waiting for and it'll be from whatever school we're meant to be at.

Landon's worked really hard to get good grades, studied a lot over the summer to get a good PCAT score and hardly complains about leaving for school at 6:30 in the morning...this is something big because Landon is not a morning person. I'm grateful for all of his hard work and dedication. He's the perfect husband and no matter how things turn out or where we end up next year I'm glad we'll be together.

In a Nut Shell

Well...here it is.

In the past month we moved out of our first, fun, cozy (sometimes too cozy during the summer and not cozy enough in the winter), little apartment. Seriously, how do people move after living in one place for more than a year? I was surprised with how much stuff (bookshelves, decorations, pictures) we acquired in just one year. Our first little place together has a lot of funny memories and we might miss is, but that will only be until we get something of our own. As for now we're living at the in-laws and it hasn't been anything to complain about. Infact, I kind of enjoy it.
I haven't seen a single spider, heard any raccoons or had a stereo blasting loud when I'm trying to sleep. I am just a little bit paranoid that whenever I hear something it's a mouse...I saw more than enough mice in the last year.

We had an offer in on a house, but things didn't work out so we'll see where life takes us. We would love to buy a house, but aren't 100% sure if we should...unfortunately (or fortunately-however you look at it) we keep needing to make car repairs and our savings quickly disappears therefore making the decision for us on waiting to look at more houses.

Landon and I were playing soccer on a coed team and we really had a fun time. Our season is over now, but we hope that our schedules will work out so we can play again in the spring. As for right now, we're both busy with school and work.
