LifeAsOfLate

Lately I have been home. By myself. With the internet. Lets just say I have been able to catch up a lot on my favorite tv shows!!
I have also started a new painting project. I will post a picture when it gets done... hopefully soon.
I have had a lot of time to think about what I would like to do with my life. I know I would love to paint, but what on earth should I do with that?? Teach? I don't know about that one.... But I guess we will see what happens. I meet with SFI (Swedish For Immigrants) (yeah, I am an immigrant... kinda weird, huh!) on Friday, so we shall see what my schedule will be like! Hopefully better than sitting at home by myself all day. Now don't get me wrong, it isn't that bad! Yet. I can picture it getting tedious and repetative within a few weeks, so thank heavens I will be studying Swedish! I just can't wait for the day when I can understand.... lets say at least 50% of the conversations around me. THAT would be nice.
Last night (Utah time) I skyped my wonderful mother until... 1am her time? So about 9:30 am my time. I was eating it all up. I LOVE talking with my mom! I talk forever and she just says, "Yeah. Uh hu. Oh really? Tell me about that." And I just talk her little ear off. I tell her all about my life. I looove talking to my mom, now more than ever. It certainly helps cure my homesickness! I even told her how Joel showed me how to make healthy pancakes (they consist of cottage cheese, eggs, and some kind of crushed nut thing!) and they are pretty good.
Yeah. Joel teaches me how to cook. I can't cook... anything really. Shouldn't I be the cute little housewife that knows how to do everything? Anyways, he LOVES to cook... so I just let him do his thang he loves. And I patiently do the dishes. It is quite the process we have, let me tell ya.
Yep, that is pretty much my life right now! I absolutely love being married to Joel though! We have such a blast together, I love it!
Well, peace! Until I hopefully have something better to write about ;)

PS- this song, I LOVE. my sister introduced it to me, what do you think?? it is a little different.. just fyi :)

Dear Mr. Herrey,

I feel like I do a lot of these kind of blog posts, addressed to Joel. But, that is ok I think :) 

Well Joel, I am so extremely lucky and glad to have married you!! I love how much you respect me. I love how you tease me. I love how you hold and comfort me when I am homesick. I love it when you buy me flowers. I love that you work hard for our small family, even though your job gets stressful. I love how concerned you are about me. I love how you encourage me to be healthy. I love praying with you. I love your attitude and optimism to live life. I love how you leave me in a room and force me to make friends. I love how you cook for me. I love that you bring out the best in me. I love that you are never far away from a good laugh. I love the fact that we email to keep in contact everyday (anyone else do that?? haha!). I love how well you get along with my sisters, and treat them so well. I love how you make me feel loved :)

All in all my love... I am incredibly happy with you, and I wouldn't want to live my life with anyone else. You complete me in everyway, so thank you for loving me.

Out on a date- celebrating our wonderful two months being married!

Goodbye Sweden! We left for our honeymoon, and as you could tell I was freeeezing.

First night in Malta :)

Scuba diving... I LOVED it :)

These next few pics we bought a dinky disposable camera, and this is how the pictures turned out haha!  Doesn't even do justice for how pretty it was! Trust me :)
