First time for Everything!!!

This past month has been a month of trying new things.  One of those things is COOKING!!!  It is one thing to cook for yourself, but when you have to feed another person, it is another story.  Plus, when that other person eats about triple what you eat, it becomes a bigger challenge!  It is a good thing that we were both taught by incredible mothers and sisters on how to cook.  The hardest thing is knowing what our moms can do, and then trying to mimic their recipes.  My patient husband has been through a lot of ups and downs this past month of me experimenting.  Coming from a mother that made most of her recipes from scratch, I can honestly say that I need EXACT instructions on what to do.  Asael is the kind where he just throws things together.  I hope that I can do the same someday!
Chicken Enchilada Casserole
This is an example of a recipe that I did.  Let's be honest, this is not mine, but you get the picture.  

Cutting my Husband's Hair
Another first time was cutting Asael's hair.  My mom always cut my brothers hair, as well as my dads.  I offered to cut her hair one time, and after finishing with it shorter than she has ever had it, she never let me use the scissors again.  Asael was extremely patient and told me exact instructions what to do and what size of guard to use for each section.  I can honestly say that it wasn't too bad, but he is an extremely patient man, and so I appreciate him letting me try for the first time on him.

1 Month Anniversary

This past weekend we celebrated our 1 Month Anniversary!!!  We went out to dinner and then went to a play at the Hale Center Theatre in Orem.  It was so fun to get out of the house, especially since Asael hasn't been able to do much for the past 2 weeks due to his broken foot.  2 weeks ago he broke his foot playing intramural football, so he has had to take some time off of work to recover from that.
This past month has been amazing!  We are living in the top floor of my parents house.  They were so kind to let us live there.  We are going to my home ward, which is great.  The people there are some of the finest people I know, and I am excited to continue to learn from each of them.
Marriage is amazing, and we are more in love today than a month ago!  I am so grateful for Asael and his patience with me!  I couldn't ask for a better husband!  I love what marriage teaches a person.  It's all about forgetting about yourself, and serving the other!
