It's been...a long time.

Oh hey.
I promise I haven't forgotten about you. Blogger looks so different. It's just that this past semester has been hectic and crazy and this upcoming one will be more hectic and crazier. Fun stuff.

I suppose I should just mention that I am married...yeah. I really enjoy it. I think that of all the facets and nuances of my relationship with Nathan, the one I treasure the most is our friendship. We can have the most ridiculous conversations and come up with outlandish scenarios, and it's just so fun. It's liberating to be with someone that loves you for who you are, and you don't have to worry about saying the wrong vs. the right thing or what they think about you, and all those other issues I have when conversing with people. He listens to me, I listen to him, and we talk about anything and everything. I never imagined myself married at only twenty, but I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. I am really grateful he's in my life and that I have the chance to experience life with him. I think that's another thing I love about our relationship--when he is there for the cherished, sad, awkward, hilarious moments. It's extremely fulfilling to be with someone who wants to and enjoys sharing life with you, someone who's committed to sharing all of life's difficulties and happy times. This is mostly what I look forward to. That and graduating from graduate school.

Oh the comfort ...
The inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with another person.
Having neither to weight thoughts
nor measure words, but pouring them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together.
Certain that a faithful hand will take and sift; keep what is worth keeping and, with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.

Congratulations Emaline. Sorry we missed you while you are in Utah. It great being married while at School. I got better grades once I got married because I was home a lot more and studied instead of out and about visiting people.
