Monsoon season :)

This post really doesn't have anything to do with the monsoons, but I haven't posted since before the monsoons so I just decided to name the season! Life in the Hon home has been extraordinarily normal. We just live life day to day with not much interruption. I like it though. People always ask us, "How's married life?" To which I always respond, "It's great....pretty normal...but awesome!" It's just like before except not we just do it together. We wake up at 8am, Spencer takes a shower and I make his lunch. We leave by 8:50 (on a good day ;) ) and then I come home and do a few different things to fill my time. I pick Spencer up at 5pm and we come home and eat dinner. On Mondays Spencer has class from 7:10-9:50 and on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:10-8:25. Those days, we pretty much come home, eat dinner, hang out for a few minutes and he leaves for school. He gets home, we go to bed. Sounds exciting eh?? We do try to go to the temple once a week, but that's getting harder and harder as our schedules fill up. Friday nights consist of either a date night or a football game and Saturdays are laundry. We are living the life, that's for sure :). We have had some exciting times recently though!

We got to go through the temple with Spencer's cousin Dallin Greer. It was so fun and we are so proud of him and his decision to go on a mission! He leaves the end of this month. I also got to go through with one of my dearest friends Alex (used to be) Colby! It was such a wonderful experience. I am so glad that I have friends that make good decisions. She was married on September 1st and is now Mrs. Alex Stevens! So excited for her and Bronson and can't wait for them to get back from their honeymoon!!!


I have also started making tutus. I know, random right?? Well, it's something fun for me to pass the time and I have started selling them to make a little extra money! They are super cute and when I saw that there were the exact same ones I was making at Joann's for $30 I realized that I was doing the world a service! haha I have also made a little baby white one and a blue and yellow that is being used as a Christmas gift :)


We have had a lot of drama with the NAU financial aid system. I had the AIMS scholarship and because I was 4 credits short, I lost it. I tried to have it reinstated anyways and they told me I would hear back within 10-15 business days. About 15 business days later I call and they say they haven't looked at my application yet. GRRRRRREAAAAT. They say I just need to wait a while longer. About two weeks later I call again and they STILL hadn't looked at it. This was getting ridiculous. They did bump it up though and told me I would get a phone call withing 24-48 business hours. Two weeks later I finally get the email and they just say, Sorry, you can't have it back. Well great. That's just what I wanted. I decided I was just going to get a loan and pay it off when financial aid comes through. Well, when I talked to the lady that helps enroll at extended campuses, she says I have to enroll by Friday and that I need to probably do a payment plan since I would need to pay by the end of the day I enroll and the loan would most likely take longer than that. Awesome. Spencer and I have finally figured it out, and I START SCHOOL TODAY!! I only missed one day of each class which is a real blessing. I am super nervous. I don't know why, but I am! I have not been in a classroom in over a year. Here's to a better school year than last time.

I have also started babysitting again which is something I have really missed! Lizzy and Will are the two kids I watch and I am in L.O.V.E. with them. So cute. So if I post a million pictures, sorry, it's fun for me!! I also got a new phone which is exciting and Nick got my old one. Pretty good trade if I do say so myself.

She was a little grubby from eating trix but she's still cute as can be!  



I took my ring in to get cleaned about a week ago and they found a loose diamond so I have been without a ring and will be until the 12th :(. Not my favorite day. I have been wearing this thing instead which is ok, but I want MY ring back!

Other than that, everything is pretty normal. We are just living life, day to day, and loving being in love with each other. Every day brings new trials and new memories and I am so blessed to be making them with my  best friend! We are at 5.5 months and we could not be more thrilled! Married life is just wonderful <3.
