We haven't done anything super exciting recently, but here are a few high points from this week:
- We bought curtains! So now we're real adults, right? Although technically, it was more out of necessity than a need to make our house feel homey. The blinds downstairs broke, and we spend 90% of our time there and don't want to share our whole lives with the neighbors (and their cats, which they keep on leashes outside).
- There's a creepy huge spider living in front of our house, but we can't reach him to do anything about it. Brian says it's an orb spider, which doesn't make me feel any better about anything. He only shows up at night, so we haven't seen him for a few days. I'm hoping he got drowned out in all the rain this weekend, but I guess we'll see.
- After an exhaustive effort Saturday, our house is officially the cleanest it has been since we moved in. I'm a little afraid of how long it's going to take me to clean when we have a full sized house and/or children to clean up after.
- While organizing the closet, Brian unearthed the notebook we wrote most of our wedding presents down in, so we officially have no excuse for continuing to delay sending thank yous.
- He also found five dead spiders in the closet. Our standard spider procedure is to vacuum them up and forget about it. Unfortunately, I'm now very afraid to empty the vacuum. I sometimes peek at it to make sure there isn't anything crawling around in there, but I haven't worked up to emptying it yet.
- Since I'm posting about all the spiders in our lives... We had to take the bean bag chair upstairs, because for some reason all the huge gross spiders LOVED it. Fortunately, they don't make it up there very often.
- We really don't have THAT many spiders in our house, but once I get talking about it I can't stop!

Happy 23rd/New Blog!
I've been meaning to start blogging for ages. I've tried a few times before, but my life just isn't exciting enough for me come up with super interesting things to post. However, now that Brian and I are married, I feel like having a blog will probably inspire me to think of interesting things to do, and to document them, since I'm terrible terrible at writing in a journal. We'll see about all of that.
We've been married for about three and a half months, and it's been great! I always heard that moving in with your husband was a HUGE adjustment, but I haven't been blindsided by anything yet. We spent most of our time together before, so the biggest difference now is that he doesn't have to go home at night. The summer was so crazy that it feels like we didn't even really spend that much time at our apartment, but I feel like we are finally settled. We've finally managed to attend our own ward a few times, and we even have a calling! More on that in a bit.
My birthday was last weekend! I am not really one for big birthday celebrations, so we had a pretty relaxed day. Brian bought me some fun things, including a sandwich maker/waffle iron/griddle thing that we made lunch with. Unfortunately, it didn't get cleaned out right away, so when I attempted to use it the next morning to make waffles, it was cheesed shut! Solidified melted cheese is much stronger than you might think. It took me like half an hour to get it all off, so we didn't get waffles that morning. (By the way, this was the first time since we got married that I had actually got up and made us breakfast. My poor husband...)
Anyway, after lunch we went shopping for a bit, then to two quarters of the football game and dinner at the Beehive Grill. Brian loves the Beehive Grill, and I am also a fan. We watched the last quarter of the game in the pub (I think Brian's favorite thing about the restaurant is that is has a pub), ate tasty food, and even got a free brownie sundae for my birthday treat. It was a very low-key-but-still-fun birthday night.
Brian and I are teaching a Family History class during Sunday School, which is great! I used to always hope for callings that didn't require me to be there every weekend, but now I'm actually pretty glad that we have an excuse to be in our ward every other week! We were hardly there at all this summer, so I'm looking forward to being around a bit more. I was a little apprehensive of being in a married student ward, but we actually really like it. Our Bishop is great, and we're meeting lots of fun couples that we can hopefully befriend. Also, there is a SWARM of babies, which keeps things interesting.
Well, that's about all I have for now. I'll try to keep you updated with interesting things that we do!
