Making the Grade!

People always told us that

1. our social life would die once we got married.

2. we would get the better grades then we ever had.

3. that the honeymoon and good feelings would be over once things got busy and crazy and life started happening.

Here is my assessment.

1. FALSE. Our social life has not died..in fact if anything it has improved. I think we've mentioned this in other blog posts, but its true. There was this poem I heard when I was in elementary school that said, "Make new friends, but keep the old. Some are silver and some are gold." We have done just this, and we feel rich because of it! The kids from home are close and its alot of fun..were thinking of having a holiday party with them. But we have also made a TON of new friends, especially in our ward. This week alone, we had a fun ward temple trip, complete with dinner and everything, then enrichment, and we just finished dinner with some friends and phase 10. So that one is false.

2. TRUE. Suprisingly, this one has proven to be correct! After our first round of tests, Lester got a 100% on his human anat & phys test, and I got a 96, 97 and 107% [in race and ethnic relations, juvenile deliquency, and music and LDS hymns]! Here are the pictures to prove it..

Im not really sure why he's making this face..

and this isnt a whole lot better..but honestly this was the best we were gonna get..and lets face it, biology makes me feel this way to haha...

This is an example of my excellent note taking skills, and the test review I made to get that A grade I like! Notice how it is neat and there is even diagrams...YA!

This is the test I scored the highest on..it may sound easy, but everyone in the class is music majors, and I can't even read music, let alone conduct a 4 part choir [which, if you could see the rest of the test, I am required to know..but some how I pulled it out!]

3. FALSE. So far, this has been a complete myth. If anything, we feel like everything just gets better and better, and while I realize its only been two months and we have an eternity to go, they have been the best days of our lives....my Mom and I have both talked the assumptions people make when they hear how early our relationships started...they think it must be perfect, and so much easier this way. But, in our experience, while high school relationships that grow into marriage have their many perks, they also have their many heartbreaks and trials on that road there. Lester and I have been waiting for this time of our lives since we were 16, and while it may not be all flowers and candy all the time, this every day life is literally our dreams come true. No. Its better then that.

Thus ends our assessment of the myths and truths of married life so far! Now..back to making the grade I suppose!
