Second year of marriage

This year has been very eventful. We have not done as much traveling as last year, mostly because we have been too busy with other big events. I can hardly remember the things we have done because it had been quite hectic. You can see pictures on our Flickr account.

We found out I was pregnant very soon after our 1st anniversary. Zoey Mae Cox was born May 6th, 2013.

I turned 21 and Tanner,  26.

Tanner graduated Utah State University with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering.

Tanner quite his job at Space Dynamics Laboratory as a mechanical engineering student to work with Cameron and Josh on some websites, namely Flight Stimulation Pilot Ship (FSPS) at the moment.

I quite my job at The Pointe Apartments and am working as a mom at home.

We moved from an apartment in Logan, Utah to a house in West Jordan, Utah (still renting).

We bought a family car. A red 2010 Honda CRV.

Actually all of this stuff happened within about 3 months. The rest of the 9 months have been dedicated and building up to these particular 3 months. A couple other things that happened are...
We took a trip to St George just before Christmas.

We bought a pass of all passes to go to seven peaks and other fun things for a whole year. So far we have used our and gone to seven peaks one time.

Tanner helped Josh Cox's family move from Spanish Fork to another, new house in Spanish Fork.

We went to Island Park, ID with the Cox family. Even enjoyed a teeny bit of wake boarding and water skiing.

Goodbye old life

September 2, 2013

Today I am grieving my old life again. After a breakfast party with the Cox family, tanner went off with his brother and dad to play golf. I am a little upset, not just because I feel abandoned without any notice, but mostly because I so badly miss the old days when I could go out and do things. I knew I would miss the spontaneity of our lives. I knew we wouldn't be able to decide to go camping on a whim any more. But I didn't expect my whole life: likes, dislikes, emotions, and activities would be washed away completely into Zoey's life. My life is gone now, just peeking vaguely through her existence. I am sad about that. I wish I was able to go out with my friends at least, since I dont have sisters. Now I can't even let Zoey out of my arms without feeling anxious. I don't know what to do with free arms anymore. I guess I just feel like I don't have any balance in my life between work and play. I am just tired of my emotions, of being cooped up, of being the only one that can really care for Zoey.
