I finished with my finals yesterday, and I can hardly believe that this semester is already over -- sometimes it seemed to drag, but in hindsight, it wasn't much more than a blink of an eye. I've been married now for three weeks, and I must admit, so far it has greatly exceeded my expectations. I've always gotten very mixed opinions whenever I talked to anyone about marriage. Some would say it's great, something that everyone should experience. Others were more of the opinion that marriage was nothing more than a 'Game Over', the end of all the fun--stuck with a 'ball and chain' of a spouse.
For me, this has definitely not been the case. It hasn't been great--it's been wonderful. Sure, it's not like my life got a whole lot simpler or easier by getting married, quite the opposite. There have been many problems and worries that have plagued us that we hadn't even considered as single people. Having someone there with me, though, committed to love me and stand by my side through thick and thin, makes it all well worth it. I love her dearly, and I'm very grateful that she's willing to stick it out with me. When I have time, I'll have to upload some of the wedding photos, that my wife's Uncle Rex so graciously shot for us.
In other news, I'm continuing along with my studies at BYU -- I'm signed up for the last of my prerequisite classes for the Animation major; figure drawing, a class I've been looking forward to for quite some time. If all goes well, I will apply for the major this upcoming summer, and things will go onward and upward from there. Maybe if I have time, I'll upload some more of my artwork as well. Life continues to get busier, but I'm glad that we will both be able to take some downtime over the winter break and get rejuvenated and pumped up for next year!
