This is what I learned during my 1st year of marriage.
Year 2 of our marriage was just as insightful.
Dallin had to be a little more patient with me because I spent the majority of it pregnant... and crazy.
We made it 2 years!
Things I learned during our 2nd year of marriage...
-Dallin and all of his med school friends are extremely passionate about Mustache November (aka "Movember")
-Long distance marriages suck
-We love couples trips
-San Antonio and Vegas are both deathly hot in the summer
-All of the men in the Mitchell family like Disneyland as much as the average 5 year old
-A weekly call from the Hunter family makes Tuesdays more fun
-Jerry Seinfeld is still funny
-Birthdays in Cabo are the best kind
-Caramel chicken from Cheesecake factory is super delicious
-Welcoming brothers home from missions is really awesome
-6 weeks is a really long time when you are 1,300 miles apart
-Being pregnant makes me completely nuts
-Dallin is still nice to me when I am completely nuts
-He is also still nice to me when I throw up on his lap on accident
-My grandpa can build cool things
-It is not possible not to make dam jokes at Hoover Dam
-The outcome of a 49ers, Utes, or Jazz game can determine Dallin's mood for a night
-Getting your apartment broken into is super, super lame
-Dallin looks sexy in camo
-Buying a house a stressful and obnoxious process

pretty sure it will be my most memorable anniversary I ever have.
We have been in year 3 of marriage for almost a month now and I think that I have learned more about Dallin this past month than all of last year combined... mostly having to do with him being a kind and loving dad, for which I am eternally grateful.
I love this with my whole soul.
