Isn't it about... time.

For some of you reading this blog, you're probably thinking yes... Yes Dallin, it is about time considering you said you were going to post a blog in April! And it is now October. Then there's others who just happen to be passing through the blogging world and chanced upon this and don't really care. And that leaves the majority of you who don't even realize that I'm referring to you and could care less about what is said in this post.
But, for those of you who really do care about what's going on in our newly-wed, college going, hard-working lives, here's a little update:
As always, time is of the essence, and Cassie and I have very little of it. I find myself getting out of bed before 3 am, 3 days week to be able to get to work on time. This wouldn't be so bad if I could rest after working, but school has it's demands, and typically we're up late the nights I don't have to work early, so often I'm up for close to 24 hours. It can often turn out to be quite an adventure. Cassie isn't far behind. She wakes up around 5 on the same days and doesn't exactly get a break during the day either. It's a tough schedule, but we're glad to have steady jobs and we make due with what we have.
So as for a super huge review of the past 6 months or so....
June 26, 2010 was the big day. It's was wonderful to share our wedding day with friends and family. We couldn't have been happier to see everyone who made it and we missed all of you who couldn't. Just as most couples feel, the whole day was kind of a blur for us, but we do remember those key moments like being in the temple with our family and friends, etc. We had to put this picture in of Grandpa for all the family. Is that not the best picture you've seen of Grandpa smiling? I think all the family would appreciate this picture. We love it!
After the big day we enjoyed an awesome week at Disney World. It was Cassie's first time, so I had the pleasure of showing her the ropes :) I made sure that we went on Jungle Cruise, Pirates, Splash Mountain, Space Mountain, and of course the Country Bears. We hit up plenty of other rides like Rockin' Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror, so we got the excitement along with the classic Disney. We were even able to have dinner in Cinderella's castle!! Cassie was in heaven with all the princesses walking around greeting everyone. She got a picture with each one, and even though I didn't let her wear a crown, she did get a princess wand during dinner, and I got a sword! Woohoo!
We enjoyed the rest of the summer working here in Provo, except for week break to hit up the Hague family reunion in Idaho. That was a great, relaxing week that we had with the family and we want to go back so bad!!! A fall break would hit the spot about now.
We've been doing the whole school thing lately, which isn't all that exciting, but I guess it's necessary. We're enjoying most of our classes, but also looking forward to having a break from them. We get the occasional break from school by hanging out with friends, going to football games (though those aren't always the most fun considering how we're doing this year), and just sitting at home and relaxing for a little while.
And.... I think it's probably pretty obvious that I've kind of lost interest by now, and I'm guessing so have you, so I'm going to wrap things up now. Hopefully the next post will be sometime sooner than six months from now!
*Sigh*... We love this place...
