December 14th

Recently had to feed the missionaries. Thought it was gonna be an embarrassing social flop but kind of turned out well considering the missionaries scarfed it down. Liked their message because it was short and sweet. I made Chinese chicken from one of my bridal shower recipes and then collaborated with the lady who had given it to me for advice. She was super nice.

Loving our new ward. Went to a relief society white elephant with Jinn. Jinn and I made a plan to steal one thing and then steal it from one another so it would be safe (when it's stolen twice - it's safe) I'm realizing more and more how much of a minimalist I am and don't want a lot of things. I got chocolate and I was perfectly fine with that. I'd rather not have to get rid of obscure statues and useless junk.

Other than that, Altantean and I have been pretty happy. It's weird how time passes now. It's crazy how the time still continues to fly. I've almost just gotten used to not paying any attention to it as it zips by. We've almost been married a month. I'm thinking about new projects and next steps. I'm attempting to animate the Amalgamation at my work. Also, a lady at my work is going to bring me an inflatable shark that swims in the air and I'm super stoked.

I'm glad I have the good marriage and the good man that I have. I hear all these horror stories of over-indulgent husbands or selfish husbands, and while I'm sure it's just usual gossip to talk about husbands like that, and while I'm sure Atlantean and I will become older and mislerier, I still know I have a good man. Just last night we were talking about kids and when we wanted to have them and if we'd ever be ready and this morning he started to feel like he wanted to be more responsible and productive for the kids we'd have someday. I love him. I adore him.

We had a slam poetry night that my mom put on last night at Paradigm High. I'm so proud of her and the impressive work she does. She kept pushing and pushing for her poetry and she pulled it off, and it was very impressive. One of the poems, even though I'd read it before, gave me chills the entire time it was being read. Slam poetry is pretty darn cool. Mom also had a lot of people who didn't show up so she asked for volunteers to read for them, so I jumped on the opportunity, as did Atlantean and he did great too. He hopes to further and push himself by going to things like this. I hope it helps him :)

Other things ... we had a huge fundraiser at work today with a silent auction and awesome food. It was pretty darn cool :)

All for now
