23- He says, "I Love you" when he goes to bed, wakes up, any time we part and even when we have disagreements. 

23 reasons why I love my Spencer:
1- He is dedicated. His major is hard and requires a lot of effort, studying and time away from home. Yet he still accomplishes his classes with very high grades.
2- He is smart. He reads so many things and studies hard for each of his classes. He even will teach himself things that are not taught in a classroom.
3- He is compassionate. When we first met he was shy. As long as I have been with him, I have never seen someone who loves me so compassionately and genuinely cares about me.
4-  He is loyal. Whenever we plan dates or even when we are just talking, his full attention is on me. He constantly tells me he loves me and never does anything behind my back. He is always there when I need him.
5-He is a hard worker. Right now he is working full time and taking summer classes. Once fall semester starts, he will continue to work and go to school full time. He continues to amaze me with the grades that he receives while working. I have never heard him complain (too much at least).
6- He is tender-hearted. He always makes sure that I am okay. When I am not he finds a way to make it better.
7-He gives the best hugs. I feel so safe and comforted while in his arms. It is an instant sigh of relief when I am in his arms are wrapped around me.
8- He is a great listener. I talk a lot. And most of it is just gibberish, but Spencer listens to every word, even if it’s for hours.
9-He loves to be on the couch and snuggle with me and watch movies  (most of which are chick flicks)
10-He is funny. He always shows me these videos or comics that are hilarious. His jokes are funny as well (even if I don’t understand them because it has something to do with Engineering). His laugh is contagious; which of course makes me laugh and smile more.
11- He is happy. He always greets me with a smile and doesn’t let things bother him.
12- He lets me cook healthy meals for him and he eats them without complaining.
13- He is strong. He helps motivate me to go to the gym. We do workouts together and lately he has been coming to an Abs class with me every Monday. “Couples who work out together, stay together”
14- He respects me in all that I do. We don’t do everything the same, and we even have different viewpoints on things, but Spencer respects everything I do, believe, and say. He makes me want to be the best I can be and is happy the way I choose to do it. He treats me like a queen, which quite honestly I don’t deserve, but I love it!
15- He is always up for an adventure. He wants to do so many things and gets me to do them too. Camping, hiking, or even traveling; the adventures he comes up with are amazing!
16- He is incredible in the kitchen. He loves to make breakfast, crepes being his specialty. Although he will never admit it, he likes to cook, or at least help me cook.
17- He is ambitious. He has amazing goals and strives to pursue them. He always talks about what he wants to end up doing (which I still don’t clearly understand, it’s way complex) when he graduates. He has worked hard and has already accomplished so much.
18- He is simple. I am an over thinker, which is bad. Spence always makes things so simple for me and finds a quick simple solution to things.
19- He lets me take lots of pictures of us. I know it gets old, but I know he will thank me for all of the pictures of the memories we have made.
20- He is the best brother and uncle! Even though he teases everyone like crazy, I know that one day when we decide to have children; he will be a great daddy. He is becoming more of a family guy, which I absolutely love!
21- He is very handsome! Um duh self explanatory!
22- He encourages me to accomplish my dreams and ambitions. He always tells me “You can do it” in a funny accent and wants me to succeed.
23- He chose me to be his. Forever. I am so incredibly lucky to have him as my best friend and husband. It’s not often that two very different people fall in love and have that love grow every day.


Happy Birthday baby! Thanks for choosing me and for making our lives wonderful! I sure do love you!

What being in college has taught me

I know I have been terrible at writing on my blog the past couple of months. School has engulfed my attention and honestly blogging has been the last on my priority list. I wanted to write blog about my college experience... since I graduate in 53 days. I am thrilled beyond words to be this close to being done. I had know idea it would feel like this nor that it would come so soon. In just a few short months I will be able to call myself a graduate of Health Promotion and Education with an emphasis in Community, also being eligible to become CHES (Certified Health Education Specialist) certified. Wow what a mouthful! Being in college was not like I expected, it was much more. I have been through the worst of worst and the best of best experiences. I would like to share with you what I have learned in the past four years (From beginning to end), I hope you can get a good laugh about it. To those who have yet to start college, I strongly encourage you to start thinking about going. You w...

One of my favorite walls

There have been times that I come home from work or other places, exhausted, frustrated, and uneasy. I have always been a home body and love the comfort I get when inside. When I was preparing to move out when I got married I dreamed of decorating my own place, of hanging my own pictures, of designing the way my furniture was set up. Since I have been married almost one year, I never realized that I have one wall in particular I love to look at. It is in my bedroom, the wall opposite of where our bed sits. I see this wall as I wake up, go to sleep, start and end my day. It's not that big of a deal, and it's actually quite bare, but there are 3 things on there that I love. The first thing is a picture of my husband and I (one that I put together with the lyrics to our first dance), on our wedding day, dancing to our song, "Breathe" by Angels and Airwaves. This picture brings back the giddy feeling of being in a room full of people and the only person I had any knowl...

LIFE.

Hello friends and family! It has been so long since I have posted. Let me tell ya, mama hood takes a lot of time, which I am so grateful for. However, I had a spare minute (literally, Evie is napping right now) where I wasn't doing anything. Which quite honestly is very rare . I don't even know where to start on updates. So bare with me as this literally might be word vomit with no sense of order. First and foremost, we are HOME OWNERS! It was quite the whirlwind getting moved and settled in, but after about a month of rearranging, organizing, getting new things, our house is now a home. Going from a small two bedroom duplex to a 4 bedroom+living room+big kitchen+office+basement+3 bathrooms, we had to do some splurging. We will probably have empty rooms for a while, but sometimes it's nice to go sit in those empty rooms and escape the piles of things that are starting to appear. I still have lots to do, but I going to be ambitious and build (with my Dad and probably  Gran...
