Well first, Happy October! I'm so excited that it's getting a little chilly so that I can wear my boots and sweaters once again! It's crazy how fast September came and went! In my last post I mentioned that we had A LOT of birthdays to celebrate! Well one was my amazing Mama Cragun's! Mama Cragun has been in my life since I was 10 years old! She's been such a great mother to not only her own children, but me as well! For those of you that haven't known me so long, like my in-law's, I have always been really great at getting adopted into other families! So Nic didn't just marry into one family, He married into at least five! It's so great! Well mama Cragun is my best friend Sidney's mom, and since Sidney and I live right across the parking lot from each other, Mama Cragun came after her birthday and we went out to dinner and watched The Avengers. It was great to spend time with her and Abby (Sidney's little sister), and just enjoy the company of having loved ones around.
Another fun thing is that Nic has been playing on an ultimate Frisbee team! His team is 3-1 and they just keep getting better! It's fun because three of the guys on the team, including Nic, are married. So us wives just sit there on the sidelines screaming and cheering the team on! I've learned that I'm quite the momma-bear when it comes to my husband and sports. The second game the boys played the other team was just super obnoxious and not even fun to play against. One guy started giving Nic crap and I was almost ready to walk over there and slap the guy! I think it's actually really funny for Sidney and Caroline (the other wives) to watch. Haha. At the last game, near the end, one of the guys was really blocking Nic to the point of fowling him. Since they were pretty close to us, I just yelled in my mean voice "GET OFF MY HUSBAND". Poor guy looked like he was only a freshman, and just automatically backed away! It was actually really funny. I guess just emotions from the other obnoxious game came up and I got all momma-bear again. At least we all know I've got my husband's back!
*side note: Lezlie... Nic was a good boy and played a clean game.... and he's not making me write this.
I guess some other big news is that I got a promotion at work! I went from being a Call Center Agent to the Customer Service Manager. It's a brand new position the company just put in, and I can't believe they gave it to me! Basically I just reply back to customer service emails, and take customer service calls, and make sure people are happy! I'm extremely thankful for the job! It is a pay raise and more hours, and it's a huge blessing for me and Nic. Though it definitely is more work! I'm not used to working full time so it's definitely a change of pace. I'm not used to coming home and not wanting to cook or clean... OK... so I never want to clean, but I have been more tired! That's why Nic and I are going to start insanity so that we have more energy!
Most recent news is that my one of my best friends is back from Alaska! Ashlyn!!! It's so fun to see her again and be able to spend time with her! Ashlyn is from Alaska and went back up there for the summer to work for Holland America and Princess Cruise lines. I've definitely missed her, but I could tell some great blessings came to her while she was up there! :)
One of the last things was GENERAL CONFERENCE WEEKEND! Though I'm actually going to create another post about that later on.
I do want to take a moment and mention my new Grandma Sonya. I recently received a beautiful note and gift from her in the mail! When Nic and I were on our honeymoon we went to The Phantom of the Opera in Las Vegas. Nic and I actually really love Phantom. We like the movie, and we loved the show! Well Nic's Aunt Georgia, who sang the most lovely song at our wedding, has worked on Broadway, and her husband Alan has been working on the Phantom of the Opera set since it first came out on Broadway! (Yup! We're related to stars! Nic and I aren't talented so that our claim to fame) So Grandma Sonya sent me THE most comfy Phantom sweat shirt and I love it! It's sweats, and Phantom! What's not to love?! So thank you Grandma Sonya for the gift! You have a letter coming back to you in the mail soon!
Welp! That's our lives lately! I'm so thankful for my husband! We're finally getting used to marriage and learning new things every day! I'm thankful for Heavenly Father and the Lord, our Savior, Jesus Christ and and bringing me and my husband together! He truly knows us better than we know ourselves!
Love,
The Bibeaus
