Fork Lifts and Fire Trucks






I have a few questions...
1. When will I not be super busy and have time to actually get things done?
2. When am I going to feel like I'm actually married?
3. Is this a preview of the rest of my life?

We have been So busy lately. I'm finishing up my internship at Avery Dennison in Pasadena so Joe and I leave the house at the same time every morning and I sit in traffic for at least an hour. I work a full day (sometimes more if I'm trying to avoid traffic or if I know Joe is working late), and then I drive home, again taking me around 1-1.5 hours. BLAH. So by the time I get home it's almost 7. Normally, I would rush home, Joe would greet me and I'd get started on dinner while we talk. But our schedule hasn't been normal lately.

Joe's brothers are moving locations for work- they needed a bigger place, so they are moving to a bigger warehouse in Chino, which they are doing ALL the construction on. Joe helps during the day when he can and in the evenings. So when I get home from work at 7, I change into my grubbie clothes and head straight over there. We usually are there til around 10 or 10:30 but we have stayed until almost midnight. Man does that make a long day! It's starting to look good over there though!

We went over there on Saturday for a few hours and I got to drive the fork lift. I know, I know...don't be jealous. I drive fire trucks AND fork lifts. Next on my list is the scissor lift. The fork lift was cool, I moved the dumpster from one area of the warehouse to the other. I had the fork lift lifted up so the dumpster was blocking my view of ANYTHING, so Joe was my navigator. Looking back I guess I could've lowered the lift...but I didn't think about that, I guess I was just too excited.

The beginning


Joe and I got married on July 30, 2010 in the Newport Beach temple. It was so amazing! That day was by far the LONGEST day of my life but it was so great. I really feel like it was perfect.



Just a little backgroung on us, Joe and I met right before our sophomore year of high school. He was always really sweet to me and of course, I hated him. I was a brat to him. This lasted a few months until I realized something- Joe always held open my door for me when we walked into places, he always said hi to me and tried talking to me, and he was always nice despite my brattiness and me ignoring him. I found this to be impressive and started looking at him differently. Anyways, long story short we got married, and we still love each other. :)
