1 year!

On September 28th it will be one year since Justin and mine's first "date"(you could call it that). We have been together for almost a year and its kinda crazy to me. I'm sitting here blogging about us being married and Justin is putting a cupboard together behind me and I just keep thinking how weird it was that a year ago today I was probably going to work at Ally's and after I would be hanging out with Sarah and Heather. Now all of us are married! Its just weird. ha ha
This week Justin and I have decided to start looking for places to rent. While we're grateful to his parents for letting us live with them, we have decided that we need our own space. In Syracuse there is a house that was up for sale for a little while. Its on my way to work so I would look at the sign and wish that we could buy it. It would be the perfect size for us and it has a big yard that Justin could work in (he loves yard work...funny how opposites attract). A couple weeks ago the FOR SALE sign went down. Then yesterday, on my way home, there was a FOR RENT sign out in the front yard! I couldn't get the whole phone number so we decided to go back this morning and get it. You think it would be there right??? Well it wasn't! I'm so bummed, but there's some other places we're thinking about, so its all good. But if anyone knows of any places to rent that don't have ridiculous payments, let us know!

About us

This is my first time blogging. haha I'm probably not going to be very good at this. I guess I could start by telling about us. My name is Kimberly Ranee Bodily, I'm 18 years old and I married Justin Bodily on April 3, 2009. We met 5 years ago in our ward. We never really hung out, but we talked to each other every once in a while. Justin went on his mission to Philidelphia, Pennslyvania in August. Unfortunatley he had to come home after just a month because of some problems with his knee. But this was also a blessing for us together as well. Just two weeks after he came home he invited me to go with him to take the missionaries somewhere. Then that was that. After that night we spent everyday together. We got engaged on November 6. It wasn't the big fancy proposal he wanted to do but it was just perfect for me. We were packing things up in his basement and we sat down to take a break and he went into his room to get "something" and when he came back out we started talking again and he asked me, "How do you feel when you're around me?" I replied with, "Pretty good, when you don't do anything stupid." He laughed, got down on one knee, pulled out the ring and said, "Will you marry me?" I was so shocked that I don't even remember what happened. He said I asked if he was serious and then I kissed him and only said yes after he said, "So?" We went upstairs and told his mom and then started calling everyone and going to see my parents and siblings.

We are currently renting the basement of his parents house. I'm working at an eye doctor and Justin is working as a teller at Wells Fargo. According to our families we are still very much newlyweds. ha I don't think so, I think we act like we did before we got married. But thats us. We aren't that interesting, but we are happy. :)
