Married Life

              I have being married for a year and almost two months. It is indeed an excellent experience. A lot of things happened to me, most of which I didn't expect coming at all. The good things are: I got my driver's privilege to drive. I got my permit to work while in the United States, and this week I will have an interview for the green card. I don't think I am so anxious for that, because not a lot will change if they do give me the green card, which I expect they will. Anyways, back to the topic of the experiences and things I learned being married for a year and two months are just endless. I would like to highlight thou one that changed me the most: learning to be patient with each other and with self. One of the things I expected was that I would be going to college and this day I would be on my last year of college at LDS Business College. I would be graduating in my Associates degree. Unfortunately, it didn't happen the way I expected, and instead I had a lot of time to figure out marriage and being at home wife. It is actually really boring, and I have no idea how all the stay at home wives and moms out there do. They must have some hobbies thou. I realized that my only hobbies in life was being social and learning from observing. I loved going to college also because I had something to keep me busy and to help me look at life with a different perspective. It helped me to learn how to interact with different cultures and personalities. It helped me understand who I am, what I want, how I am going to be a difference in this last days. I really miss going to college and feeling all the energy of all the students that were there. In other hand, I think that married life has being a real college experience, where I learn how to understand my husband's point of view on life. I must admit it wasn't easy in the first couple of months. Everything seemed to be so clear at my point of view, I couldn't understand how he couldn't see the same. We had our moments of joy. And moments of really difficulty, such as meeting deadlines, paying bills, getting in trouble with the Driver Licence Division, not having a car at all, almost losing a wallet full of documentation haha. The moments of joy were the ones that came just after the moments of difficulty. Because the most joyful moment is having someone by your side when everything seems to be falling apart. We also always had the surety that our Heavenly Father was there with us, every moment, helping us get through, slapping us when we were wrong, loving us when we felt lonely. Now, looking back, I am not sure I would have all this situations and life lessons as a college student. I do hope that as soon as I am done learning all the life lessons I need, I can come back on track and finish college, so I can continue to learn how I can earn a lot of money by doing what is the most important, helping those in society.

I would like to thank some of the people that have showed lot of love the way they know best to my mother-in-law Laurinda Ogden and all the Ogden family members for all the amazing dinners, for all the patience you all went through of having a new/strange/different family member coming into your lives.
