Nothing Is As Constant As Change
If you would have told me a few years ago that by 21 I would be married and graduated from post secondary I would have thought you were kidding. Heck,I would have thought that if you had told me a year ago! One of the best things in life is its surprises, its constant changes and ups and downs. Things are always changing and moving forward, and before you know it you are living the life you have always waited for. I was always the little girl who dreamed of being married and having a family, and it's crazy to think that I am now living that dream. (NOT the family part.. yet :) )
Ryan really is my dream husband. If I could write down a list of qualities my "Ideal Man" would have, he would have every single one... And then some. We are about to hit our 2 month mark as husband and wife, so here are a few little discoveries I have made these past two months about my man:
1) He is dang handy!! Some of us were never taught to change a tire... or put oil in a car... or fix the heater etc.. etc..Seriously though, I don't know what I would do without him! There are some things that I am good at and some that I most definitely am not, so I'm glad he can fill in where I'm.. er.. lacking.
2) The boy LOVES Vampire Diaries. When we first got married he used to make fun of me for all the "dumb shows" I would watch. I convinced him to watch one episode, and that's all it took.. he is HOOKED! Our weekend nights now consist of popcorn and V Diaries marathons.. and he has been caught on a few occasions staying up late by himself watching extra episodes haha.
3) He speaks Carly... fluently. Sometimes, I am just in my own world. I will say one thing, and mean something totally different, and then get frustrated when someone doesn't understand me. I am also a big fan of saying things like "Hey Ry.. Can you put that in there?" Needless to say, any normal person would go crazy trying to figure out what I am trying to say most days... But Ry has got it down!
4) He puts up with my crazy antics. He will check the doors for me as many times as I ask in the middle of the night to make sure they are still locked, and a few weeks ago when I heard a scream outside in the middle of the night, he got up with me to help push the dresser in front of our door.
I love learning new things about him each day, and growing together as a couple. Right now we are living in Calgary so that I can finish school. I'm set to graduate in just under two months, and then after that we are off to Utah! Ryan will be going back to BYU and as for me... well.. Let's just say I will have a lot of time to blog :)... I have 6 months of waiting before I can work in the states, so hopefully I can find something to do with all my spare time!
Lots of big changes coming up, and I can't wait!
Love,
Car
