'We’re all a little weird. And life is weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutual weirdness and call it love.'

Valentines...two years in a row!!

So on Valentines I am used to being the cynical person that mocks the holiday of love since I usually didn't have anyone to share it with.  While I still laughed at BYU campus's sudden infestation of men in suits carrying bouquets of roses, I really have enjoyed Valentines the past two years.  Last year Jeff and I were new to the world of being boyfriend/girlfriend, and I didn't really know what to expect when Valentines Day came around.  We spent the day before Valentines walking down the streets of Provo mocking all the hearts and Valentines advertisements and then we went home and watched a basketball game.  Needless to say I didn't expect to get anything for Valentines, but he surprised me with a bouquet of my favorite flowers that lasted over a month because my apartment was so cold. 
This year we got to have a prolonged Valentines Day.  I was scheduled to work on actual Valentines Day from 7-11 that night which basically ruined any plans.  So we kind of celebrated Saturday, but Provo was an absolute mad-house.  We had a great time regardless.  However on Monday I got a call from someone at work asking to trade me and take my Valentines shift...crazy.  So we got to celebrate again, and I came home to flowers and a huge heart of starbursts :).  I love my husband he is so sweet.  We still just hang out like we're best friends, and I still cant wait to see him whenever I go home.  So all in all it was a very happy Valentines Weekend!

I'm married so therefore I should blog...

So I came to the realization that all my married friends had blogs.  So it seems that in order to qualify as an official "married" person I better get in loop.  So I have a new goal to consistently post what is going on in my life in some sort of witty fashion that most likely hardly anyone will ever read.  Alas, I shall bend to the societal norm.  So after nearly six months of I qualify as a real married person. 
So what has been happening in our lives since our happy day in August.  Both Jeff and I are attending BYU full time.  I work for BYU campus operator services and Jeff in an Information systems TA.  So people always ask me what I do at my job so here is a little detail.  Anyone who calls the general BYU line gets us and we answer general questions or transfer people to any office on campus.  Needless to say I have most of the general campus numbers memorized.  I tend to say "you're welcome" to people all the time now because we are actually required to say that to every person.  Some people think they're pretty amusing and keep saying thank you multiple times.  So if you ever call me and I answer "BYU operator" my apologies I hardly ever answer the phone any other way.
Jeff is really enjoying his program even though its been really tough this year.  We hardly ever see each other because of our schedules.  We are currently looking at internships that could pretty much take us anywhere.  We are really hoping for Novell in Provo because then we wouldn't have to move, but Jeff has applied for one in New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Washington, and Arkansas (of all places).
Lots of other things have happened too, but it seems that they are just a basic part of our crazy everyday life.  So with that I welcome myself to the blogging world.
