You Know What They Say, Ash...

The week has arrived--whether we like it or not!

After months of hardcore preparation, studying and prayers, Jordan left at 3:00 this morning to take the MCAT in Portland, Oregon.

This boy is completely invested in our future and so motivated. I realize more and more how grateful I am for his sacrifices. He's commuted six hours a day (thank you public transportation!), taken multiple practice MCAT tests (4-5 hours a pop), studied till he can't see straight and still managed to treat me like a princess-- And I definitely act like one sometimes so that is saying something! He supports every crazy dream I have and never doubts me. He is the most patient, loving and concerned person I have ever met in my life. Whenever I am frustrated and start talking a million miles an hour, he just smiles and says, "Remember, I'm always on your side."

(St. George get away!)

Also, Happy 11 months today! I can't believe it's almost been a year! When Jordan left this morning, he woke me up to tell me good bye, and said, "Happy 11 months babe, I love you." Sheesh, way to melt my heart!

People say that when you get married, you find out everything that is wrong with your spouse. I, on the other hand, have had the opportunity to figure out everything that is wrong with me because he is so good! Sometimes I step back and wonder how in the world I got Jordan. I also wonder why in the world he waited for me to change my mind about him for almost 8 years! I guess somethings shouldn't be questioned, just appreciated.

(I like him.)

His big test isn't actually until Thursday--so if you can slip him a prayer, I'll love you forever! It's crazy to think how much one test can affect the rest of your life. I love the quote, "Faith is not knowing what your future holds, but Who holds your future." I know that whatever is meant to be will be; especially with what a good person Jordan is I am sure that there is an army of special guardian angels that look out specifically for him.

Random funny thing this week: Jordan created a board on my pinterest specifically for his man food, called "For Jordan". I just found it while I was on Pinterest.

For years he has said to me, "You know what they say Ash." And I say, "No, what do they say?" He responds, "Love." The first time he said it I just looked at him funny and said, "No one says that!" "Sure they do!" I then tell him that he's a dork, and he says, "But you love this dork."


I do love that dork :) Good luck on the MCAT!
