update.

just down the street from my house, i can catch the beautiful sunset that happens more often than not in san diego.

as per abi's request, i am updating my blog because as of late, it's the only way to see what's up with me.

i'm one month away from graduating school meaning i'm about a month and a half away from becoming a licensed esthetician (fingers crossed, prayers said)

my husband is training for a deployment he is not going on, so i guess it's more time for me to study.

the realization that i will soon be a 650 resident again has come... and i must say, i'm not ready to move home yet.

i've fallen in love with san diego.  a client said to me, "isn't it funny how we don't start to appreciate what we've got until we realize it's about to be taken away?"  and it's true, i've taken my time here for granted.  but i've made some amazing friends.  and have grown so much. 

people often ask me, "so, how's the married life?"  and i always wonder why people ask me that.  because i know they don't really want to know how my marriage is doing.  and i know they aren't braced for the answer that i really want to give, because i have so much to say about the "married life". i usually just say, "it's a beautiful thing."  because, it really is.  it's magnificent.  and i want to talk about why  it is.

i would love to have a conversation about how much more i've learned about myself since moving and getting married, and how much more i've learned about the man i'm going to spend the rest of my life with.  i would love to talk about how i always get in trouble because i never put things back where they were.  and if i had a dollar for everytime dirty clothes ended up next to and not inside the hamper then i would be a billionaire. and i'd love to brag (yes, brag) about how every morning, without fail, alex smiles at me, the kind of smile thats like "you're the most beautiful woman i've ever seen and i'm the luckiest man alive to get to wake up to you every morning." and no matter what i'm doing, what to cook for dinner is always a lingering thought in the back of my mind. 

i guess saying "its a beautiful thing" suffices as an answer.  but why matters so much more.
