Oh, to be married...

Married life is way better than anyone told us! We love everything about being married, especially each other.

Since we got married we went skiing, drove to Vegas for our second reception, attended General Conference, enjoyed Joao and Summer's wedding, said goodbye to Miguel's parents, filled out all the documents for permanent residency, wrote most of our thank you cards (the rest are coming soon!), finished student teaching and starting tutoring full time, interviewed at lots of schools, spent a weekend with Jeremy, Kedra and Rebecca on their way up to Portland, signed a teaching contract, celebrated graduation/Easter/Aubrey's blessing with the family in San Jose, took med school final exams (and passed!), celebrated our birthdays at the ranch with the fam, finally took our honeymoon trip to Hawaii (and loved it... except for the sunburn), spent a weekend with Joao, Summer and Ana while Joao had his broken nose fixed, spoke in Church, interviewed at another school, fretted about which position to accept and stayed with the first, began summer research at the Moran Eye Center and took another awesome trip to Vegas from which we just returned! All the while Miguel has been working in the temple and serving in the Elders' Quorum Presidency, we've had friends over every week, and the floor is somehow still vacuumed and the dishes are done. What an adventure! Judging by the first 2 2/3 months of our marriage, we have a lot of excitement to come!

I think this post serves simultaneously as the update on our lives and the explanation of lackadaisical blogging habits. We'll try to get details and photos of our adventures on here soon.
