Hoping for Normal

Well, life here is complicated...

I have the greatest husband a girl could ever hope for. He is amazingly supportive and continues to love me through all the hard times.

For 9 months (July 2011-March 2012), all I wanted was to move away from Colorado and all the people there that hurt me. What I didn't realize is I would also be moving away from everyone I have known my entire life- the good and the bad.

Let's just say it has been a rough adjustment.

It was somewhat of a culture shock for me moving to Oregon. Just in the way that I had to adjust to the huge changes Kody made in his lifestyle in my absence. For instance, I have gone from drinking two sodas a day to one a week. I have also gone from little exercise to running once a week (although I think it has been two weeks since I've run- graduation coming up and all) and walking a mile a day from my car and back to it. Kody has also become mostly vegetarian which I still am having a hard time adjusting to. I have a hard time finding meals I will like that are healthy and vegetarian... Hopefully in the next couple months I will be more used to it.

I love being with Kody and moving here has made me rely more on him.

I don't easily make friends and I don't easily trust due to past friendships going awry. So being cut off from "civilization" has been rough. I have made two friends. One is another one of the Med Student's Fiance. The other is a technician at my internship site. I don't see them often but Kody has also made a point of taking me out with him to do things. We have seen several movies with another couple and gone to a couple parties (I am not truly fond of the parties).

Overall, I have been grouchy and emotional. It is roller coaster here... I feel terrible for my amazing husband. He has been a trouper through this whole thing. I am surprised that this hasn't broken our relationship. We are deeply attached to one another and that has shown through this interesting time in our long life together.

I don't know how I got so lucky. And I hope that I can level out all my crazyness lately. Kody deserves some normal for a while.
