Nothing to Blog About!!!

I haven't taken pictures lately and I don't have anything SUPER exciting to report... So here is a quick update on what The Cozad's have been up to.

- Jon is 7 months away from graduation. He is so smart and I'm excited he's doing so well.

- I start school next week -- To get my Master's degree. Oi... Not looking forward to homework! I already grade hundreds of papers a week -- now I have to do it too??? hehe

- We went to a Corn Maze on Friday. It was fun!!! Jon was in a hurry to get to the haunted part because he knew I'd be scared... He was right.

- We just celebrated our 4 month wedding anniversary! That's a third of a year!

Update on Mom...

My sweet Momma...

As lots of you probably know, my mom has been in the hospital for over a week. I just wanted to update you. She is finally out of ICU. She can finally breathe on her own. She has an infection in her back. She went to about 15 doctors over the past 3 months complaining of back pain. They sent her home with muscle relaxers and pain killers - saying it was just normal back pain. One doctor even sent her to a therapist, saying the pain was all in her head.... JERKS!!!!!



Anyway... the infection, since none of the doctors took the time to find it, got so bad that she has a hole in her back. No wonder she was in so much pain!!! That built up bacteria which gave her an infection in her bowels, and continued to grow until the bacteria was so thick she stopped breathing and went to the hospital. Luckily, she has a great hospital doctor who is really thorough.



It's so hard to be away from her! Jon and I are planning to go see her the first of October -- or maybe Thanksgiving, depending on what happens. She might have to have back surgery -- again -- and maybe something done with her knee. Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers.

Well, my Susie brags about me so much, I feel I should brag about her! She is the biggest sweetheart ever! She has a heart of gold. In the almost 4 months we've been married, I haven't found one fault in her.

She cooks the greatest meals, and tells me she loves me about 50 times a day! She cares for me when I'm sick and worries about me when I'm not. I want her to know how much I love her and I can't imagine my life without her. She's the best!!

Sweetheart

Can I just brag about my husband for a minute? He is the most amazing husband ever! Anyone who knows me knows I'm a little bit of a sensitive soul. Jon is always doing little things that make my day. He brought me flowers last week, makes steaks on the grill (because he knows I LOVE it!!!), etc. A few weeks ago, I came home and Jon was at work. He called and told me to go look in the fridge. I thought it was a strange request but... I did anyway. When I looked in, he had purchased about 10 home grown tomatoes arranged in a heart shape with a note that said "I love you." He knows how I LOVE home grown tomatoes! As soon as I get down to 5 tomatoes, he immediately goes out to get more. Anyway, I wanted to share, in pictures, just a few of the reasons I'm sooo happy I married Jon. I love him sooooo much!!!!!!!!!

We LOVE to play games. After playing Jenga, even though I won, which rarely happens, my sweetheart created this. Isn't he adorable???

Jon and I go to the temple twice a month. I'm so glad I married a man who shares my love for the temple. It has truly made our marriage stronger.

Jon grilling hamburgers on our first camping trip. YUMMY!!!!

PS -- guess what?!? I'm back in school again. I'm finally starting my masters degree!!! It was a long process, but I was officially accepted and I start October 1st. Jon has been in school for a few weeks now so we'll be pretty busy over the next year!

Honeymoon

Jon and I went to Florida for our honeymoon. We stayed a week in a really nice 5 star resort. We both had so much fun -- and I for one didn't want to come home! It is nice to be back in the mountains though -- and LOTS cooler and less humid!

At one of the Disney Parks -- I think it was Hollywood Studios

This was our pool at the resort. Gorgeous!

Bridal Shower

I know... This is a little late. I'm just now posting for my bridal shower. Anyway, my awesome, amazing friend Melinda is responsible for how wonderful everything turned out. She went above and beyond. Heather and Erica were a lot of help too! I had so much fun and we had a great turn out. Everyone created wedding thank you notes -- before they left, they completed over 100!!! Thanks everyone!

Kendra -- came all the way from Provo!
And my AMAZING Melinda who organized everything!

There are more pictures but I ran out of room.

Happily Ever After

So... It's been a little while since I've posted. Sorry... I've been enjoying life as a married woman. I never dreamed it could be so much FUN to be married! Jon is amazing. He is such a sweetheart. He knows how I HATE to take out the trash -- and in 7 weeks of living together, I've never had to take out the trash ONCE!!! Anyway, just to update you, here are a few of the thousands of pictures from our wedding.
