So I'm not so great at this blogging thing. Or maybe I don't find my life as riveting as I thought. For whatever reason I have neglected my duties as a faithful blogger.

Trevor and I have been discussing how incredibly blessed we are. I don't mean to brag about how perfect our lives are and how perfect WE are, but I realize we are just more than just lucky. We both have our health, our jobs, a cozy-ish apartment (at least it is getting there...thank you IKEA and Bed Bath and Beyond), and of course, each other. I think we often neglect the little things that we have been given.

So here are some "little things"...

A toaster. Okay, so my toaster isn't this darling but our toaster allows me to indulge in my love of bagels and cream cheese in the morning. What would I do without my toaster?

Another thing I often take for granted is this...

MUSIC! I used to sing and play the piano on a daily basis. Now I'm lucky if I get to bang on our borrowed keyboard or sing along to some of the horrible, repetitive lyrics I hear on the radio. Granted, I am part of a pretty sweet church choir but I still forget to polish my talent. Speaking of music, my husband is pretty much an amazing musician. He always asks me to play guitar with him and I always decline because #1 I'm stubborn and #2 I'm lazy. I married a rock star and he wants me to play guitar with him. How much luckier can a girl get?! Maybe if we practiced we could be the next Sonny and Cher...hmmmm not.

Here is a picture of my rock star husband and his recently retired band Madeline Walks.

So there are a lot of reasons we are blessed. During this Holiday Season I think it is especially important to recognize those little things that make our lives so special. Even if it is as simple as a toaster.

First blog...ever!

I have finally succumbed to the world of blogging. Partly because I'm tired of making excuses for not writing in my cute little journal...but mostly because I want everyone who reads this to fall in love with my life!

Here is a little update on what the Mr. and I are up to. Trevor and I were married on December 29, 2009 after a lengthy Mormon courtship of 11 months. Actually we have known each other since Fall 2005 but that is another tale. Trevor and I left Rexburg, Idaho with education, no money, and lots of love. We are currently living in Salem, Oregon working and playing, but mostly just working. Trevor loves his job as a physical therapy aid but is looking forward to getting accepted to medical school (although I think I am more nervous than he is, we are going to accept whatever the Lord has in store for us). I am working at a children's therapy center and learning a lot of patience. That is enough of that topic!

So we are your typical young married couple, and this is a typical blog. Hope you enjoy it!
