I can't believe it has been over 3 months since our last post! I was so good at first and then I failed you all.
We have actually been quite busy. between school for Jonathan, my job, and I'm not really sure what else... well it seemed like a lot until I just typed it. Our Christmas tree is still up actually. I just tell people I am going for a record (last year it was up till the end of February- it only came down because I moved). It wouldn't be so bad if it was a fake tree. but its real, and its dry. Hasn't been watered in about a month. I'm afraid it will disintegrate when I do start to take the ornaments and lights off.
Life has been good. As I said before, Jonathan has been busy with school. he is taking anatomy, psychology, and chemistry. Not sure if I mentioned before that he is restarting and going to be a physical therapist. I am just glad its not me.
We have been living in our new apt for about 6 months now and it has been nice. I have seen maybe five spiders and they have all been too small to scare me. We get some weird smells but that comes with an old apartment I guess. Otherwise its been nice! We have everything we need.
We are working hard and enjoying where we are in our life right now. There is so much to find joy in but we sometimes get so caught up in the future and how great we think it will be that we forget to find the beauty of the present. I hear people say things all the time like "I'll be happy when I am done with school" or I'll be happy when I get that promotion or when I get married, ect". Although I will be happy when Jonathan is finished with school that does not negate my happiness now. We should enjoy the stages we are presently in. When we are busy looking forward to "when we'll really be happy" we miss out on whats right in front of us. The small moments are what matter most and will bring us the most joy in our lives. Being able to find joy in the journey is the difference between a person who is happy and a person who is not. Bad things happen and its okay to feel sorrow when those times come. But we can still find joy and peace even in those times. We can also choose to laugh at the more insignificant troubles. I still don't know how to put movies on my blog so I will just highly encourage you to Youtube it. It is called "Moments that Matter Most". It is done by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (under Mormon messages).
We hope all is well with you!
