The Alley Blog!

Since we were married a little over 4 weeks ago there has been a little voice in the back of my head... It kept saying things like, "That homework can wait... Go blog." and "Why havn't you started your blog yet?" Actually it was two voices. That of Jenna Jensen and Ty Jensen. At the luncheon after our wedding they very nicely suggested we start a blog so we could keep up... Well something to that effect, my mind was elsewhere at the time. So to keep our word here is our first blog!

I'm not sure what sort of things we are suppose to write about, or what the blog norms are, so if I say something innapropriate please tell me!

I guess I should start with what's going on in our life now. Mary and I were married on the 29th of August in the Bountiful, Temple(we don't have the wedding pictures just yet). After this hard summer it was a blessing to see all my family again on different terms and especially to be married to my Mary. We had a wonderful honeymoon in Hawaii, and got to go to the Polynesian Cultural Center, kayaking, snorkeling, visit Pearl Harbor, amongts other things.

Because of the timing of the wedding and honeymoon being so close to school we had a hectic time getting back. We had a redeye flight that left at 8 p.m. friday and after a layover in LA arrived in SLC at 11 a.m. We got home and immediately had to pack up to move into our new apartment here in Rexburg so that we could start school that monday! To make matters worse, we realized in Utah that we had left the camera Julie and Steve let us borrow in the LA airport! We felt and feel horrible :( With the help of mom and dad we made the drive up to good ol' Rexburg and moved into our first apartment!

School has started now and we are loving married life! I thought I knew how to be the perfect husband until we disagreed about which drawer the oven mits should go in! So now I am re-learning how to really communicate and what it means to give and take. We are in a great ward. Mary was called to be ward chorister and I was called to play flag football(for now). Mary is taking 18 credits and will graduate next semester and I'm taking 14 and working part-time. Life couldn't be better :)
