So....this happened

As I went to resurrect this blog, I realized it's been two years, to the day, since I last posted. Lots has happened since then. I won't try to catch up. Rather, I'll just start again with the new adventures that have begun. I married this guy. He is truly my best friend and I'm lucky I met him last year. We got married in Utah about a month and a half ago. We have since moved to Massachusetts (into his house) and are starting our new adventure as a married couple. There's plenty of adjustment on my end. I left my family and friends and came to a new place where I don't know anyone or anything around me. I have some bad days, but for the most part it's good. I'm now able to get to and from work without using GPS. Which is a big thing for me. I am still, however, trying to get used to my commute. I came from working right near work. I took back roads to work and it took me 10 minutes. 15 on a bad day. My commute is now an hour. On a good day. That is rough for me. I'm not used to being in the car over 2 hours. Every day. I have discovered books on tape and so far, that is helping. Side note: Ready Player One was a great book. Sadly it was 15 hours and it only took me two weeks to get through. Ha! If that gives you any further indication of how much time I spend in my car now. Speaking of work, yes, I did get a job out here. Which, I am grateful for. It is nice to have a job and be getting a paycheck. I still need to figure out what I'm going to be doing with school, if I'm going to try and continue out here. For now, I'm working and trying to get accustomed to traffic. There are many changes that have come into my life all at once. Marriage, moving, a new job, new ward, new people. I'd like to say it's all been sunshine and rainbows, but it hasn't. In fact, as I sit here and type this, it's currently raining outside. See what I did there? I'm funny. In all reality, it's good, but it's an adjustment. I miss my family terribly and the fact that I'm so far away from them. I knew I was close to my family, but moving across the country and not having them a mere 10 miles away has been a rough realization for me. I'm missing out on little things that I would have always attended while in Utah. I used to see my family at least once a week, in some form or another and now it's all about phone calls, texts and FaceTime. Thank you, technology, for letting me remain connected to my family. And it is because of that technology, that I thought I'd try and write on this again. To try and let my family know what's happening in my life and maybe have an outlet in the form of writing, for me.
