So far, so good.










I know, I know. I've completely slacked on keeping the blog up to date. So here I go!!
I've been in Utah for almost a month now. In fact, I leave back to New Brunswick a week from Tuesday. As much fun as this trip has been, I am SO ready to go back to my husband. No more of these Utah trips without him!! Blake, this means you need to make sure a girl can see her family more then every 6 months! ;) No it's not convieniant, but trust me, it's very much needed.
I've gotten such a good fill on girl time, family time, and special "auntie melissa" time in. It's been wonderful. Two of my best girlfriends will be/ have already getting married this summer. I've been spending mucho time with my twins, seeing all the plans, and have gotten a good feel on to what will be going down on August 20th, in which I will not be able to attend. I feel much better about missing it, though it will still be hard! On Friday I was able to go to one of them. It was so beautiful. It was my first sealing I was able to attend since being married. I'm so grateful that I was able to be there and experience that special time in such a special place! A few days before I was also able to go to a session with my mommy!
Amongst all this wedding stuff, I've had lot's and lot's of time to reflect on my own special day. I've remembered so much about the planning, stresses, and happiness that I've seen these two brides experience. And honestly, I wish I could go back. I would do it all again in a heartbeat. I would marry Blake over, and over, and over again if I had to. Luckily, our marriage is for eternity. And as much fun as it would be to do the whole wedding thing again, I have so much comfort in knowing that where I was married, was the right place. When I was married, was the right time. And who I married, was the completely right guy. Forever. And I love that I can look back, and regret nothing about any of the experiences I've shared with Blake.
We're coming up on our 1st year anniversary, and I can't believe that I've made it this far. If I can make it through a year of being a wife, and month of being away from Blake...as well as 2 months living in a hotel..I'm pretty sure I can take on the world. Or at least.. that's what I will tell myself!

Anyways, Utah... Thank you for the memories, and thank you for being my home for so long.... But alas, it's time to REALLY go home :). And I will be seeing you again. Soon. I'll make sure of it.

Here are some pictures, enjoy.

This is a fire that happened right next to my house the weekend I got to Utah. It was terrifying.


My adorable Nephew. :) He's definately a water baby.
Chopped my hair off! Love it.

One of my besties. She got married!!!
