Growing up

So the past few weeks i have been thinking about how tough it is to grow up! Sometimes i think about when i lived at home with friends and family and how it was easier to not have to pay for rent and food. But then i go back to reality and realize how grateful i am to have a wonderful husband! These past few weeks have also come with many trials and heartache but we are thankful for them either way.

We are happy to live in our new apartment and try new things. We are thankful that we have jobs in this economy and know how hard it is for others who dont have any job. I know that sometimes we complain about the job we have and how much we want to find a new one but then we go to think about those who have none. And then we feel so bad that we complained when we have a lot compared to some others.

I put this on my facebook page the other day and think its a great quote.

"If you want your life to be a magnificent story, then begin by realizing that you are the author and everyday you have the opportunity to write a new page"

As a couple we just feel like we sometimes are so close to having complete happiness(for us at least) and then sometimes it just gets taken away from us for no reason!! so we need to remember that we are our own author.

But a week of having just a horrible week it has strengthened mine and zacks relationship as a couple. We have learned that things always work out in the end and that whatever happens we have each other. I think this experience made us appreciate each other so much more.

We are going to be trying to start a family as soon as possible. and we couldnt be happier !So we are very excited that in about a month or two we are going to be trying to have our very first child. Zack is going to be a great dad and i know that he is very excited.

Last weekend Zacks parents came to visit and i am so thankful for them also. We got to go to the temple and have just an excellent stress free day! They are so nice and they want me and zack to have the best life possible and i just couldnt be more happy that they are part of my family.

So we have a lot of new things that are going to be happening in our life and we are excited to start new adventures together!
