29 Days

Abbey and I have been married for 29 days and it has been absolutely marvelous. We live in this little ghetto apartment but we couldn't be happier. We have practically nothing except a couch our friends bought us at a yard sale, a table from DI which we painted, and an amazing bed, but it's sweet. Today we went to our ward for the second time. We missed the last two weeks because we went to a missionary farewell and then we were in Washington for our Open House. Our ward is needless to say...interesting but we won't say much more than that. We have new callings; Abbey and I are on the activities council, which Abbey thinks is for people that the ward doesn't know what to do with. Washington was awesome. We flew in Friday night after my cousins wedding reception. We stayed with Abbey's friend Molly's parents. They were super friendly and took great care of us. They had an amazing view of the Puget Sound. We had the open house there the next night. My parents and my sister flew into town for the event so we had a lot of fun. The people from Abbey's ward who came to see us were very friendly and generous with their gifts. Some of her friends parents also visited us as well. The next day we went to church and we had a bbq at Abbey's house afterward with her family. Then we flew back to the amazing city of provo. Our daily lives haven't changed all that much. Abbey continues to work for Platinum Security doing payroll and I'm still teaching Spanish at the MTC and washing windows at the side. Its pretty decent money so I might be just doing that instead of the MTC. Yesterday we went golfing with Abbey's brother Tyler and her niece Maty. We played Soldier Hollow up in Midway. The par was 36 for nine holes, i was only 4 over through 5 but ended 14 over par and Abbey ended a whopping 37 over par with a few hand wedge shots along the way. Her round was hopeful when she drove the ball about 180 yards or more off the tee on the 3rd hole but she struggled throughout the day. She did well considering it was only her fourth or fifth time playing. Tonight we went up to Midvale to watch game 2 of the NBA finals with my sister. We had burgers and hot dogs. Tomorrow its back to the grind.
