Looking back and forth

... Aaaand we're back! Well... sort of. There's something about the idea of weekly blarg updates that just makes me want to forget all about the blarg and play video games with my wife. Which is exactly what happened for the past month or so. Honestly though, there are no complaints here. :)

So, a few quick updates. We moved out of our tiny apartment. Sorry, no pics. We were kind of lame and didn't take any pics... for like 5 months. But that's alright. We have the memories.

Stephanie is now back in school. She's stressed, but I believe she'll do well this semester. She's so smart, and she's such a good signer. She's humble and doesn't think she's that good, but she underestimates herself. She's really good.

I got a promotion and I start on September 14. I'm really excited. I can't tell you how hard I've worked for this job. It doesn't hurt to be friends with a higher-up, either. But really, I feel like I earned this job, which makes it that much more rewarding to have received the job offer.

And... that's it, I think. I mean, we've done a couple of big things. We took a trip to St. George for a wedding, we got new furniture that we traveled around for (not to St. George), and we hit our 5 monthiversay without killing each other. Kidding, it's been a blast.

But there's something about a wedding (again, not in St. George) that stirs things up you thought were long left unstirred. Probably why James Bond never got married. Personally, I don't like stirring things up that much. It only works for macaroni and smoothies. ( I don't know, that's all I could stir up. I'm deep, I know.)

So anyway, we attended our friend Krista's pre-ception tonight. For those who don't know, that's a reception before the wedding. The more you know...

Stephanie and I were smart enough to set a reminder, because if we hadn't, we would have missed it, and according to Stephanie, we would have died! So... dodged a bullet there. Hopefully not literally. >_> <_< But it was loads of fun. We got to see Krista and her new man! They were pretty cute, and they're very happy together. There are just some people who you know will have an epic level of joy and happiness throughout their lives. (i.e. My wifey and I! Love you, Princess!) From the moment I saw them, I could tell these two love birds would have that epic level of happiness. If you ever read this Krista,  congrats a thousand times over!

And then we danced. I love dancing,  especially with my wife. Sometimes, I think we look really cute and fun, but I know better. Nothing to do with me, mind you. My wife is an amazing dancer. I just look like a goofball. But when I dance with her, pride be darned, I'll look like a fool for her any day.

Finally, things settled down, and we were reflecting on our own amazing wedding. Steph said I had my happy memory face on most of the night, whatever that means. But dancing with her and being in the presence of unbridled joy and love just brought back good memories. I feel like my love for my wife grew deeper tonight.

And I was deeply moved and indescribably happy to have married such a woman as Stephanie. She's funny, weird, beatuiful, witty, loving, thoughtful, spiritual, and best of all, she's all mine. Once again, I love you, princess!

So, now you're updated. There's more to come, as always. Maybe I'll have another wedding soon to make me write on here more. Maybe I'll just get bored and post a list of my favorite Pokémon, or tell you about the time I... did something cool. But for now, we need to read scriptures, and I'm keeping Steph up by writing here, so God be with you till we meet again.
