Interesting tid bit - canceled and cancelled are both acceptable words, but canceled is the American English form, while cancelled is the British form. Cool, right?
And that's just one of the many things I've learned the past few weeks. College is great. Anyway, quite a bit has been going on in the Griffioen's life, so buckle up.
First and foremost, we finished winter semester. And although my class load wasn't too tough, it's always nice to get another semester behind you, and get closer to graduating. Just another year and a half or so... Alas, the break from school didn't last long, so after finishing finals, we had a few days (pretty much a weekend) of break then back to classes for Spring term! But in that short break, Becca and I had our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!
I would definitely nail this bad boy as a land mark, because I think this counts us as no longer being newlyweds. I'm glad we can start using years and fractions of years to describe how long we've been married instead of months. It may seem pretty unimportant, but I'm thrilled. Being married is the greatest thing ever, and I'm stoked to rack up the years with my wife until we're old. I love her an awful lot.
Now, since we didn't have a whole lot of time to go anywhere like Yosemite or even Yellowstone, and gas prices were pushing $4/gallon, it was kind of hard to find a place to go to, so we went to a resort in Park City and it was absolutely fantastic! It had a private hot tub, a fireplace, a kitchen, and was one of those places that was way out of our budget, but thanks to expedia we were able to book it. In the end, our anniversary was marvelous, and it was hard coming home because the 3 days in Park City absolutely flew by.
In other news, we went to the Draper temple, and the Salt Lake City temple. Both were gorgeous, and I'm really glad we were able to go. Going to the temple with Becca truly is a blessing and uplifts me each time we attend. I'm glad I have the kind of wife that loves to do such things.
Today for church we met in the Marriott Center with a bunch of other married wards, and they switched around a bunch of boundaries and wards and stakes. BYU wards and stakes are no more, but rather are Provo Married or Provo YSA wards so there won't be so much confusion about what ward to attend. Apparently there were problems with students being able to attend up to three wards, so this is going to handle that. At any rate, we changed our bishop today, and our ward, so instead of meeting at 12:30 pm, we'll be meeting at the unmissable time of 2:30pm. Even if I sleep in with all my might, I could never get passed noon, much less 2:30. But holy cow, it is so late. Becca has already been through this, and seeing as how we'll get out of church at 5:30, come winter it will be dark by the time we get out of church. Yay!
Let's see, I believe those are the big points in our life the last couple of weeks. As I reflect on these and other things that have recently happened, it's hard for me not to mention once again how blessed I feel. Our life isn't perfect, but as we are passing through trials or other small problems, it seems like things may not work out, but in the end they always do, and I become a better person because of it. And lastly, my wife is the bomb. She is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
