REAL LIFE IS SO GOOD

Are you tired of hearing about how much I love being married yet? Yes? I'm sorry!

I LOVE BEING MARRIED.

I can't help it! Being married is the best! But, I know how annoying girls can be when all they do is talk about their husband. So without boring you to death of the details of our relationship, I’ll tell you what happened today that reminded me how great real life is. Earlier tonight, Cob and I went to a mission reunion hosted by his first mission presidents. They are sweet and British and just absolutely lovely. He roomed with a few elders from his mission when he first got to BYU so I had met some of his companions before, but I loved meeting so many new people (especially their wives haha) and hearing stories about Slovakia and the Czech Republic.

Later that night we went to some concert at The Velor in Provo. Neither Cob nor I are very into the whole loud music and dancing scene, but we went to support a friend’s band, and we had a good time. When we got home, we realized that the next day was fast Sunday and we had NO food. So after a quick visit to my recipe board on Pinterest, we drove to Smiths. We didn’t finish shopping until about 1:00am and the whole time I just felt so happy. I told Cob on the way home, "I could not feel happier right now. I feel absolutely, completely, 100% happy."

I don't want to paint a picture of my life that isn't accurate. Cob and I are not a celebrity couple. (Even though it feels that way when everyone is so nice to us!) We're pretty typical newlyweds. We haven’t been to Europe, we don’t have a fancy camera, we don’t even eat at really expensive restaurants. We do regular things. We watch movies together, we return wedding presents, we go grocery shopping, we pay rent. We’re real people living real life. And it's not perfect, but it's really really good.

“And it came to pass that we lived after the manner of happiness."
