MARRIAGE ADVENTURES

FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO START OFF WITH YOU GUYS CONGRATULATING ME BECAUSE THIS IS MY FIRST, SECOND POST FOR A BLOG. YES, ITS TRUE IVE STARTED A COUPLE OF BLOGS IN THE PAST AND WAS ABLE TO WHIP OUT ONE POST BUT THEN NEVER HAD THE DESIRE TO WRITE ANOTHER ONE.

SO ANYWAYS THIS BLOG POST I THINK YOU ARE GOING TO ENJOY.  I WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS THE REASON AS TO WHY NEWLYWEDS GAIN WEIGHT.  SO IF YOU DON'T KNOW ME MY WHOLE LIFE I HAVE BEEN OBSESSED WITH MY WEIGHT. NOW, IM NOT SAYING WHEN I WAS FAT I WOULD DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, I JUST ALWAYS HAVE OWNED A SCALE AND HAVE WEIGHED MYSELF EVERY SINGLE DAY SINCE I CAN REMEMBER.  HOWEVER, NOW THAT IM MARRIED WE, FOR SOME REASON, DONT OWN A SCALE AND IM GOING TO BLAME IT ON MY HUSBAND.  YOU SEE THE BOTH OF US HAVE NOT BEEN REALLY RESPONSIBLE WITH WHAT WE HAVE BEEN EATING AND WE BOTH HAVE NOTICED THAT EACH OF US HAS GAINED A COUPLE OF LBS. NOT A BIG DEAL REALLY, I MEAN I COULD START WORKING OUT TO LOOSE THE WEIGHT BUT HERE'S THE CATCH.  THE OTHER DAY I WAS COMPLAINING TO TRAVIS ABOUT HOW MUCH WEIGHT I HAD GAINED AND HE JOINED IN WITH HIS COMPLAINTS ABOUT HIS OWN PERSONAL PROBLEMS. WE JUST LAUGHED IT OFF, BUT THEN I DEMANDED WE START TO WORK OUT AND THIS WAS HIS RESPONSE: "MICHELLE WE'RE NEWLYWEDS, THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE TIME OF OUR LIVES, SO WE CAN EAT WHATEVER WE WANT AND GAIN AS MUCH WEIGHT AS WE WANT."  ALL I CAN SAY TO THAT IS "WHAT THE HECK! WHO ARE YOU!? YOU'RE GONNA MAKE ME FAT!" HE, LIKE THE REST OF THE MEN IN THIS WORLD, DONT UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH HARED WE WOMEN HAVE TO WORK TO LOSE THE WEIGHT WE GAIN, AND IF I GIVE UP NOW, WHILE STILL IN MY 20'S, I'M GOING TO BE SOOOOO HUGE AND HE WONT LIKE IT. HAHAHA

ON ANOTHER NOTE TRAVIS MADE THE FUNNIEST COMMENT ABOUT COUPLES DATING.  I DIDNT EVEN REALIZE THIS UNTIL HE BROUGHT IT UP BUT ITS PRETTY HILARIOUS!  SO THE OTHER NIGHT WE WENT AND GOT SOME ICE CREAM WITH THIS COUPLE.  TRAVIS KNEW THIS KID BECAUSE THEY WORK TOGETHER AND DISCOVERED THAT NEITHER OF THEM HAD MARRIED COUPLE FRIENDS.  SO ANYWAY, THE POINT IM GETTING TO IS THE FACT THAT WHEN YOU GET MARRIED INSTEAD OF GOING ON SINGLE DATES (LOOKING FOR A SPOUSE) INSTEAD YOU GO ON COUPLES DATES (LOOKING FOR FRIENDS TO HANGOUT ON THE WEEKENDS).  IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT HE IS TOTALLY RIGHT! WE GO ON THESE COUPLE DATES AND WE SEE IF THEY CAN BE OUR FRIENDS.  WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE NOT TOO WEIRD AND WE HAVE TO DISCUSS IF WE BOTH LIKE BOTH THE BOY AND GIRL IN THE RELATIONSHIP.  IT JUST MAKES ME LAUGH WHEN I HEAR THE THINGS THAT TRAVIS COMES UP WITH.  HE EVEN TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD WRITE A BOOK ABOUT IT. MAYBE I WILL, MAYBE I WON'T.  WE'LL JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE WHAT MY LIFE IS LIKE LATER ON. 

OH AND THE PICTURE ABOVE IS NOTHING NEW.  ACTUALLY IT WAS TAKEN WHEN WE FIRST GOT TOGETHER.  BUT, WE DON'T TAKE PICTURES THAT OFTEN SO JUST PRETEND ITS A PICTURE OF US ON COUPLES DATE. HAHA

ENJOY!

SNOW FOR THANKSGIVING?

DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY GIRLS THAT ARE MARRIED START BLOGS? WELL I'LL TELL YA:  RIGHT NOW AS I SIT HERE TYPING OUT THIS BEAUTIFUL MESSAGE, NOT KNOWING IF ANYONE WILL READ IT, TRAVIS IS ON THE FLOOR NEXT TO ME STUDYING/DOING HOMEWORK FOR SCHOOL.  SO I GUESS WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS IF YOU GET MARRIED IN THE MIDDLE OF A SCHOOL YEAR BE PREPARED TO START A BLOG LIKE US.

PRIOR TO STARTING THIS POST I WAS READING ABOUT ONE OF MY FRIENDS WHO RECENTLY GOT MARRIED. AND WHEN I SAY RECENT I MEAN SHE JUST HAD HER TWO MONTH ANNIVERSARY WITH HER FANTASTIC HUSBAND.  HOWEVER, HER MARRIED LIFE IS NOT GOING TO PLAN.  HER HUSBAND HAS CANCER WHILE STILL IN HIS TWENTIES...BUT WHAT IS SO BEAUTIFUL ABOUT HER BLOG IS HER FAITH AND HAPPINESS SHE PORTRAYS IN IT. LAST NIGHT TRAVIS AND I WATCH "MOULIN ROUGE" AND THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE MOVIE ALL I DID WAS CRY.  I'VE SEEN IN SO MANY TIMES BEFORE BUT ALL I COULD THINK ABOUT WAS MY FRIEND AND HER HUSBAND AND WHAT SHE MUST BE FEELING.  I COULDN'T IMAGINE FINDING OUT THAT TRAVIS HAD CANCER AND BEING OK WITH IT. I THINK I WOULD FREAK OUT AND BLAME THE WORLD FOR MY TROUBLES.  BUT SHE IS SO STRONG AND SHE HELPS ME REALIZE THAT I NEED TO COUNT MY BLESSINGS AND BE SO SO GRATEFUL FOR THE LIFE I HAVE.  NO, IT MAY NOT BE WHAT SARAH (MY SISTER) AND I EXPECTED BUT ITS STILL REALLY AMAZING. 

TODAY TRAVIS AND I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT IT WAS STAKE CONFERENCE SO WE KINDA MISSED CHURCH.  HOWEVER, THE THING WITH MY HUSBAND IS THAT HE REALLY TRIES TO BE STRONG FOR THE BOTH OF US.  HE SUGGESTED THAT WE GO TO THE PROVO TEMPLE INSTEAD.  SO WE DID.  WE JUST SAT THERE AND SHARED OUR FAVORITE SCRIPTURES WITH EACH OTHER, WATCHING THE LITTLE MISSIONARIES TAKE PICTURES.  IT WAS REALLY A BEAUTIFUL DAY AND SO WE TOOK SOME PICTURES BEFORE THE SNOW COULD DESTROY THE BEAUTY OF FALL.  UTAH WEATHER COMPLIMENTS THE HOLIDAYS.  THE SNOW COMES AND TAKES OVER THE FALL LEAVES KIND OF LIKE CHRISTMAS TAKES OVER THANKSGIVING.  SORRY THIS POST ISN'T THE MOST EXCITING BUT NO WORRIES ILL KEEP YOU UPDATED!
