Bittersweet

Today Tia went into the MTC. Despite the teary eyes, she had her beautiful smile on her face, and was just so excited to begin her mission. As we drove away, we saw her being her talkative, optimistic self. She's going to be a great missionary.

*However, I must say that the new way of dropping off your missionary at the MTC is the worst idea ever. Instead of going inside, watching the missionary movie and singing "Called to Serve", you just drop off your missionary on the curb, like you're dropping them off for school or something. I mean, it's 18 months we're talking about. I think a little longer "goodbye" is needed.

It just all happened so fast. I don't think it really hit me that she was leaving until she was walking away with her luggage.

I miss her already.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Our house looks very Chistmasy with our cute tree and stockings. Now if only finals would be over with we could start celebrating :)

Sweet Surprise

My cute husband got me the best surprise for our semi-anniversary...tickets to the SYTYCD concert!

This past summer in San Franciso we watched the entire season, and loved it (BOTH of us :) The concert was so much fun! I was blown away by Jeanine's awesomeness, and Brandon's steroidish muscles (is he for real?) They performed all my favorite dances. I absolutely loved it. What can I say, my husband is the best.

Six Months

Six months ago today I lived through my dream wedding - the perfect dress, the pale pink roses, the beautiful reception. But on that day the details didn't matter so much. All I could focus on was my new husband, and the wonderful fact that I get to be with him forever.

I love being married. I love decorating our cute house, making dinner, and coming home to my best friend every day. I still get little butterflies when I introduce myself as Stephanie Adams. Sometimes I feel like we're just playing house, but it's real and I love it. I love how Mike always fixes stuff around the house, mows the lawn, and even does the laundry. I love how he is so sensitive to my feelings and can always make me happy. Mike is the best husband ever and I feel so lucky to be married to him.

I can't wait for the next six months, and the rest of forever.

Halloween

We spent halloween weekend with my family in Henderson. We had such a fun time. Saturday morning we went to the temple with Tia for the first time. It was so wonderful to share that experience with her. That night we dressed up and went trick-or-treating with the nieces and nephews. They are such cuties.
