Normal Life...Where did you go??

Dear Normal Life...

I feel as if i have lost a friend. Where in all of the world did you go? Are you upset with me? Did i offend you?? Please inform me. That way I can apologize and we can be best pals again.

Before I got married Tyson had nothing but time. Even with him in school, we were able to sit down and watch a movie now and then, or just sit and talk. Basically have fun. Not that we're not having fun! I think we're having a blast!! But I sort of enjoyed the old times.

Are you lost to me forever? Or sometime will you come back to me??

You're old commrad...
"m"

Folks...Life is frickin crazy after you get married. Why wasn't I told this before I jumped on board?? Good news is since Tyson and I have gotten home from our honeymoon we havn't had um....10 minutes to just sit down and relax! Since being home, we've had to work, we've had birthday parties, Bear Lake Fathers day and Fathers day at home. We've cleaned, and cleaned and cleaned and I forget how much we've cleaned. We've sorted through all of our stuff and I think i've made 3 trips to bed bath and beyond to return stuff, they hate me. 3 trips to wal-mart...got introuble for returning things without a recipt (we're on the watch list now). I do not like Target, and I very much HATE shopko. ALSO Tyson tells me i'm nice now and he likes me more now that i'm nice. Also it's super strange parking on the food side of wal-mart and getting food, or going into Lee's or Smith's and needing to grab a CART because i'm not just going in to grab treats like Chocolate or Chips. Now. Don't get me wrong...I LOVE married life!! But there is a few things that I really took for granted while living at home not being married. (ie dinner being made by someone else and having it there to eat when I am hungry. Having toilet paper. Having Paper towels. Having the cubboards stocked with food. Not worrying about bills. Buying what I want. Having as many SHOES as i want. NOT sharing a bed with anyone. Sleeping in peacful Quietness...okay mostly just dinner....) Also now add pet sitting (just for this week though). It makes life hard. trying to juggle all these new things. Wow. I have to hand it to my parents. I don't think I will ever make it out how they have. 4 kids and all of them in sports. cripes. I just think of the years before i was able to drive...I was 15 and playing soccer, softball, and volleyball. Soccer was year round. Softball was spring to fall, and Volleyball was fall to spring Then piano lessons in Layton once a week year round. Then Tyler 11. He played football, and soccer...p.s. my dad coached Tyler's team and helped coach my team. Spencer 8 played soccer with my brother Tyler. and finally Nicole who would have been 5. Great news she had started AYSO soccer and was also doing Sounds of Time singing group. Well Having all this going on and the only drivers being my mom and dad and they have to work. Man. I can't even comprehend. I now only have to worry about keeping my house clean, making dinner, and working...That was stressful enough for me. Now add trying to take care of two dogs and a bunny on top off all the new stuff i need to get used to. Good heavens. It's hard. But it's been so worth it. because we now know we will probably be able to make it through med school....med school will be tough and time consuming. I say bring it on haha. Anyways this post isn't about tending or complaining. It's merly a Thank you to all of those mom's who go all out for their kids! I don't know how you do it!! I can't even do a simple married thing! Anyways... I really sort of just want to spend a night and watch a movie. Or sit on the tramp and look at the stars. Or talk/gossip. But no. Instead we are cleaning. Going over finances. Making dinner. Working. Going here doing that with everyone else. I enjoy seeing other people!! But give me 10 minutes with TY. Anyways...Normal life come back to me. Or if you aren't coming back at least help me get used to my NEW normal life! haha.
p.s. I just found out my friend Mychel is pregnant...CONGRATS to her! I'm super happy for her!! BUT as much as I want/NEED a little me...NOT NOT NOT NOT yet!!!! Let me still enjoy my youth and just being married to Tyson!! I love ya Mychel!! I hope everything is going great!!!!
and p.s.s. Thanks to Amber...and her parents...and however those free movie tickets feel into their hands and then into mine. Bless you're hearts!! It was seriously exactly what i needed! Thanks!

Hang in there. It can be difficult to adapt to. They aren't kidding when they say the first couple of years can be the hardest but if you keep thinking the reasons why you married each other and things you will get through it! P.S. That happens with the whole spending time thing. Sometimes it gets harder when you have kids but it is still so worth every minute!
