I cannot believe that this is the first post in this blog. I created it months ago!!! This is Amanda, btw, if ever Johnny decides to post or say anything, which won't be during this post, since he's going to bed, he will be in italics. These last 5 months and 5 days have been incredible. So much has happened. We have faced a tremendous amount of decisions. We've had our ups and our downs, but such is life. As with all great things, the good has outweighed the bad.
School did not go nearly as well as we had hoped. It started off on an interesting note, as we missed the first week for our honeymoon. We tried to jump in and do the whole school thing, but it is truly remarkable how unprepared we were to leave each other for PT at 05:00 every morning. Or, quite frankly, how unprepared we were to leave each other at any moment of the day, or night. Furthermore, we also had a couple of car accidents, a couple of moves, and a couple of illnesses and injuries. I had to deal with my mother's death and Johnny had to be there for me through all of my crazy emotional states.
We got through all of the bad, hand in hand. Johnny did whatever he could to spoil me rotten, and I tried cooking, to return the favor. I think it worked, because he loves when I cook and he still spoils me. He is magnificent.
We are currently trying to decide whether we should move to Texas this summer, or whether we should stay in Utah. It would be a lot easier to just stay in Provo. Johnny could continue at BYU and I could go to UVU. We wouldn't have to worry about changing units or selling our contract. It would be more fiscally responsible to stay here. There is so much uncertainty in Texas. We don't know where we would live, go to school, or work. It would cost a little over a thousand to move down there, and we're broke college kids. Johnny's family is down there, though, and we would love to be closer to them, especially if I were to get pregnant. We feel as if his mom would be a great asset to me and to the baby. Either option is good, but for now we're leaning to staying in Provo. That could change at any moment, though. It seems that every time we think we make a decision, more information comes out that causes us to rethink and choose another solution. I know that we will be happy wherever we are, as long as we have each other.
