You're Never Alone

Sleep Talking

Probably every night since we have gotten married, I have woken up to Bryson talking. For the first little while, I would look around, confused, ask him, "Bryson, are you talking to me?" or "Bryson, who's there?" only to realize he is 100% talking in his sleep. EVERY SINGLE NIGHT haha.

I saw this video on YouTube and figured, at least he isn't getting up and running into walls in his sleep. At least...not YET. :-)

Sure Love Ya! :-)

So, not too much has been happening lately (okay a lot has happened - meaning my first 2 weeks of teaching 2nd grade)...but I'm not going to talk about that on this post.

I was SO happy and excited to recieve a few consecutive packages from my dad and Becky the other week. First, an awesome crockpot cookbook came (which we were SO excited about because we couldn't wait to come home from church, open our front door and smell DINNER almost ready!!) Next, the cutest sewing kit came! I'm pretty sure Becky was behind this because it was so cute and well put together - and it came at the perfect time becuase Bryson had just ripped a pair of his pants! It was full of scissors, thread, needles, safety pins - and came in the cutest little box! It was perfect! I need to have Nam teach me how to mend and hem and all that good stuff. I already used it to sew a tear in my dress sleeve...but it's a little makeshift haha. Oh well, I tried!! :-)

The NEXT package came...ANOTHER crockpot cookbook! So, guess what Bryson and I have been doing...?!? Cooking in the crockpot! It's amazing!! The next package to arrive came in a big box. My dad had kind of told me what to look out for in the mail, so when a big box smelling of cinnamon and spices came, I got so excited! My dad and Becky went out and bought us probably 30 spice bottles (which is amazing!!) and sent them in the mail. The even cooler thing is that it wasn't ONLY spices, it was also ingredients to help make some of he and Becky's favorite recipies from the cookbooks they sent us. Take a look at one shelf of our spice cabinet! :-) Thank you, thank you, thank you SO so So much Dad and Becky!! AND, it doesn't stop there...Kaitlyn just came out to visit on Tuesday and she arrived with a trunk full of groceries. Goldfish crackers, chips, rice-a-ronis, and everything to make our favorite dessert, Scotcheroos!!! I have an AMAZING family!!Since school started, I have felt like I am either at school or at home....so I am always saying "Can we just go SOMEWHERE, ANYWHERE?" So, the other night, we went to Trafalga and played mini-golf. I totally DOMINATED Bryson...at least on the first 9 holes. The last 9 holes...well...that's a different story and, long story short, Bryson won. But only by 3 strokes...but lost the bet we made nonetheless. Dang it! Lesson learned. Here's the picture that Bryson said, "Don't put that picture on our blog!" I just couldn't resist!And, for the first time in my life, I tye-dyed a t-shirt haha. The whole 2nd grade did it - my class was blue, if you couldn't tell. I told them, "you are all my little blueberries" becuase they all looked so cute and little in their small blue shirts. This is me, about to head off to school, wearing my ... amazing?...blue tye-dye shirt! Bryson can't help but laugh every morning when I put on my backpack and head off to work. He says I look like a little kid headed off to kindergarten. If only...those were the good old days!! ;-)Well, that's all! I wanted to say THANK YOU and I LOVE YOU to many people. Dad (even though I haven't talked to you in forever, just knowing that you would listen and understand if I did need to talk helps me stay sane!), Kaitlyn for being an amazing, supportive sister, Nam for the long talk and comforting words (and for the prayers :-)), Bryson for being incredibly understanding and helpful (he is an incredible husband!), Granny for calling me today (even though we didn't get to talk, it was so nice to know that you were thinking of me), Tickie for talking to me and listening to me vent my frustrations and worries haha, Jayson for his sweet, sweet songs that he writes, and many, many, many, many more people! I feel so incredibly lucky to have been blessed with the most amazing family! I love you all and truly don't know what I would do without each one of you! I can't WAIT until Nam and Nampa come to Utah for conference (it always is SO great to see them!) and I will be sad to say good bye to Kaitlyn when she leaves for Hawaii. Today, Bryson was talking about when he graduates we will hopefully move to Colorado. Do you understand how wonderful that would be? I would love nothing more than to live in Colorado near my family and near Bryson's family! I LOVE FAMILY!!!

Everyone have an amazing Friday and remember I (and Bryson too) love you!!! And as the Webster's say....."Suuuuuuuurrrrrrre LOVE YA!!" ;-)

I love my husband

I'm just sitting here...waiting for Bryson to come home from his work meeting. And it hit me, like it often does, how much I truly love love LOVE my hubby! He's wonderful! :-)

3 Months Down...Forever To Go

Haha, isn't my title so cliche? Well, as you probably can guess, we have been married for 3 (T-H-R-E-E) months! That's 90 days, or 2,160 hours, or 129,600 minutes...which really isn't a very long time. Bryson, being the sweet, sweet husband that he is, surprised me with a cute card and a little present at 12:00am Sunday morning (the very, very, very beginning of our "anniversary" day. :-) He said, "I was trying so hard to wait until later today, but I can't wait...so here." We went to church and then made an awesome dinner - pork loin in the crockpot with potatoes, broccoli and applesauce. Haha, we really were excited because it felt like a real "Sunday dinner." We were driving home from the "movie in the park" tonight and I looked over at Bryson and said, "I can't believe we are married," - it still feels so weird to me to be married. It's awesome - Bryson and I still do all the same old things we did while we were just dating - hanging out on the couch, going out to eat, watching movies...but at the end of the night, we don't have to say good bye. Being married is the best. :-) So, here's to many, many, many more months to come! Love you Baber!

I've been working on getting my classroom ready and I finally took a few pictures. I feel like the pictures make it look super empty and boring, but you get the idea. :) I have taken 150% of all my ideas from Robyn Kerr, my mentor teacher last year. I'm always thinking, "What would Robyn do?" and looking at the pictures from her classroom and copying it EXACLY, as closely as I can. :-) The books on the bookshelf are 99.9% courtesy of Tickie and Granny - thank you SO SO SOooo much! Most of my posters are from Tickie or from the Dollar Store trip Granny took me on! :) My Dad helped me SO much - putting up the paper on the builitain boards and changing the shelves in the back so I could have 25 mailboxes instead of just shelves. Bryson has done a LOT of cutting and gluing - the whole "Mrs. Webster's Smiley 2nd Graders" was his little project. I have had A LOT of help! Thank you all SO much!! School starts on the 19th, it's coming up soon! Ready or not....:-)

Happy Brithday Bryson!

Yesterday was Bryson's birthday!! He is finally the big 2-2! :-) We started the day by going to Kneaders for unlimited French Toast for $5! For anyone who has never been there - GO (for breakfast)! It is amazing! Bryson had to go to work at 1, but he was off by 4 and we headed up to Salt Lake to a Bees baseball game. Funny team name, I think...the Bees. We ate delicious hot dogs and watched a good game! After the game, we, and a few friends, came back to our apartment and ate ice cream cake and played Balderdash - it's what married folks do, I guess. :-) Anyway, he was a lucky boy and got some good presents, including an All-Sports Pass, a gift card to the Gap and a book (which he is suprising himself by how much he acutally LOVES reading a book - I'm so proud!) :-) SO, Happy Birthday Bryson - I love you more than you'll ever know!!! :-)

Our little apartment - because everyone keeps asking. :-)

Well, we moved into our first little apartment in Provo about a week or so ago and it's perfect for us. Dad was here helping us unpack and move stuff in - and he was a HUGE HUGE HUGE help! He and Bryson installed a new amazing ceiling fan, a black-out shade in our bedroom, curtain rods...and they did much much more. Thanks so much Dad!!

Bryson and I made our very first furniture purchase together haha - we bought a kitchen table and a coffee table - both almost new - for a very good deal! We were so excited!

Happy Birthday Kaitlyn!

Today is my sister, Kaitlyn's 19th Birthday!
