Lessons Learned

 I know I talk about him a lot...after all he is my best friend and the reason my life is so great. This semester has been a crazy one with Don getting shoulder surgery, then influenza, and with our crazy work schedules, along with heavy school loads, and getting ready to spend our fist married summer in Ketchikan Alaska. I have a few quotes that have been on my mind this whole semester and I thought I would share them...

1. From a woman who I admire. "The only way to go through life is to laugh your way through it. You either have to laugh or cry. I prefer to laugh. Crying gives me a headache." 

-Majorie Hinckley.

With this crazy semester there are days where I have just wanted to cry whether it is feeling bad for Don or because of school stress. But life is too short to cry and feel sad.

2. "Don't ever let a problem to be solved, become more important than a person to be loved."

Sometimes I stress (a lot) but...Don is so great and holds me tight when he knows I am about to stress and tells me everything will be alright. I have been able to learn this semester that no matter what it going on in your life you cannot forget about the person that you love the most. Stress is temporary but love will be forever if you treat it right.  

I am a very lucky girl to have this man in my life. He makes me laugh everyday and is such a light in my life.   He teaches me daily lessons that help me progress and he is my biggest fan. I cannot imagine life without him. Girls marry your best friend and it will be bliss.

Oh he also taught me tonight how to fix my car. We took it to the shop he works at and re-did the brakes, changed the oil, and put new tires on. Side note: A friend who works with  Don asked Don if he would change the oil in his car and since Don has had me do it a few times before he responded jokingly to his friend "sure or I will just have my wife do it." The friend just laughed and said he felt like his manhood had just been shot down. Don loves when I come to the shop, get dirty and learn new things, and I have to admit it is actually fun.
