i thought we were past this.

i keep thinking that my twitterpation will soon subside,

that i will go back to occasional boredom,

that i have the potential to be miserable, 

{like some other people in the world seem to be},

and just when i think i'm about to snap back into reality....

i realize that i can't and won't.

twitterpation is my reality.

boredom is for boring people:  as my husband always says.

and misery is impossible.

no way can you be unhappy when you're married to your best friend.

no way.  

we've been married over three months.

a very small amount of time, i realize.

that means that i have only known john for about 4% of my life.

{i figured that out by myself, you know}

the point is,

i have never been so happy.

and if this 4% is indicative of how life will be

when my married years constitute 60 percent of my life...

and then 75.....

and then 90....

i can't imagine how happy i will be then.

oh, how i love him.

one month down, eternity to go.

cheesy, but true.

if every month ends up being as magnificent as this one,

 i am well on my way to being 

the happiest woman

who has ever walked 

this earth.

true, true love.

married.

let's talk about the best day of my life.

truly, october 1st, 2010 was absolutely amazing.

i really can't explain what it feels like to get married to the person you love most in the world.  there are simply no words to describe it.

the night before i had a total meltdown.  i submitted myself to a rather embarrassing tantrum, as if andy jack had hijacked my body and somebody wasn't getting him his chocolate milk.

but seriously.

faced with the finalization of such an important decision.  my body simply couldn't function.  and i took deep breaths all the way to the temple.    

thank goodness for the temple.  as soon as i was sitting with my eternal companion in the celestial room as we waited for the ceremony, all my fears melted away. i knew i had chosen wisely in the most important decision of my entire life, and that this important decision would make me happy for the rest of eternity. 

i love weddings.  but i never loved a wedding so much as i loved my wedding!  everyone there, was there to support john and i.  i know and love everyone that came to the temple.  it is among the best feelings to be surrounded by your family, your new family, and your best friends in the whole wide world.

no one has a better family than me.  i am completely convinced.  everyone was so helpful and wonderful, but especially my mom&dad.  my mom gave countless hours to the planning, preparing, and cleaning-up effort of the wedding.  in retrospect, i will owe her for the rest of my life.  maybe half a dozen grandchildren will make up for it.  not to mention, when i was having a meltdown, she was there for me.  every. single. time.

and then there's my vati, papa, babbo, otosan, pee, pai, or more simply, my father.  did you know that he coaxed down the stars from the very sky for his little girl?  it's true. and i definitely don't deserve my fabulous loving affectionate parents.

life is wonderful.  actually, wonderful is an understatement.  life is magnificent, stupendous, thrilling, sensational, and tremendous.  and now i have officially used up my most exciting adjectives.  

in the beginning.

john&paige

eaters of thai food and ice cream.

listeners of sufjan stevens and weezer.

watchers of arrested development and star wars.

doers of crafts and anything outdoors.

players of piano and guitar.

welcome to our little blog.

john and i met at BYU. i had a little-girl crush on him.  due to my inability to be discrete, he finally caught on and we started dating and soon fell in love.  we were married in the salt lake temple on october 1st, 2010.  we have two beautiful girls; a disneyland fanatic, stubborn, fun-loving 4-year-old; hazel, and a busy, princess-loving, scrambled eggs obsessed bookworm - cora.  john is working for at&t and we are currently loving exploring our new home in LA!  life is good and i truly believe: come what may, and love it.
