The Wedding and Our First Month of Marriage

We've been married a little over a month now...

I've been finishing up my last two classes at school and will graduate in less than two weeks! Since I'll be graduating with a Masters, I tell David he's going to have to start calling me Master. He just laughs at me. He knows he has the upper hand because of the pact he made a few weeks ago with my Dad...

When my Dad was in town, they agreed that they weren't going to call their wives Master, ever, even though my mom and I will both have Masters when I'm done. David and I have only been married about a month and already David's making pacts with my family members! Once, I came home from classes only to find David chatting on the phone with my Mom about "secret things". I never know exactly what I'm going to come home to.

David actually graduated a couple days before we got married... So now....

He's my house-husband.

...I love it.

Most days when I come home from classes David's preparing dinner. I fully expected that while I was taking classes spring term David would find time to catch up on all the Star Craft he missed out on while we were dating. I was wrong. He's taken up a lot of the responsibility around the apartment like cooking dinner, doing laundry, packing me lunch, doing dishes... Actually, it's a little embarrassing how much David does for me so I can just sit around and do homework.

Neil's friends visit

Our friends from Seattle were in town visiting for a work conference in Park City and they stopped by our home and stayed with us for a day. We loved seeing them and getting to have our boys play together. There was a lot to do at our home-- play with legos, practice baseball, enjoy the chickens, and read together. Hope to have them visit again next time they are here for a work trip or to ski.

Camping

This past weekend our family got to go camping with cousins, and we had a great time. We live in Highland Utah, which is near the American Fork Canyon entrance. We chose to go to the Timpooneke campsites, which is really close to us. We went there a couple times last year. The campsites are really nice. At each campsite is a concrete slab with a fire pit and picnic table, as well as flat ground to place your tent (plus walkable to drinking water, an outhouse, etc.). We went with David's sister's family and the kids loved gathering around the fire, playing games, and exploring together. We even got to take our paddle boards out to Tibble Fork Reservoir. Here are photos from our trip: Campground link: https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/231938

Mariana visits!

When we lived in Seattle, Mariana lived with us and helped us take care of our kids (as our au pair). When we moved to Utah she finished her year with our family and returned to Mexico for college. Mariana was kind and visited us a few months later when she was in the US for a vacation and then just this past weekend she visited our family again when she was in the US. We love seeing her! This time we were in for a special treat because she brought her sister to come see us too. David got to play tour guide for a couple days and took them to Temple Square in Salt Lake, BYU campus in Provo, and the snow in Park City. I asked Mariana what her favorite part was and she said skiing and seeing the boys how they’ve grown. We are so grateful she took time to see us and see our kids. While she was here David and my oldest had a soccer tournament in Mesquite that was also a good experience.
