things i've learned this past month

yesterday, trevor and i celebrated our one month-iversary! he brought me home flowers and my favorite cinnamon rolls. i cleaned out the spare bedroom? to be fair, he had mentioned it should be our chore for the week. to be even more fair, there was a lot to clean out. onward! married life is awesome. you get to hang out with your best friend nearly 24/7, use wedding gift cards to buy kitty t-shirts, have sexy time, watch TV every night, and you get to squeeze your husband's butt in public. (okay, you don't actually get to but you can and people can't judge you because you're married to that butt!) it's amazing.

here is a list of things i've learned in the past month of being married:

communication is super important.

boys fart a lot.

trevor only gets mad at inanimate objects. i.e.- faulty sprinkler systems, screwdrivers, and the like.

there are snails in utah? and they like to eat flowers and drink beer. a lot.

husbands want dinner every night. like, a real home-made meal because apparently mcdonald's doesn't count.

people really like my new last name. but for real, more than bentley?

you can live an entire day looking forward to one single moment. 

the show, derek, on netflix is really good. surprisingly emotional.

you can make a lot of meals with chicken and brown rice.

LDS married student wards have babies. don't babies = family ward?

skyler, is thee worst. 

i really love my husband. 

applying for pell grants is the pits.

i'm really bad at doing homework. although, admittedly, i'm pretty sure i already knew that. 

eternity with trevor is gonna be fun.

collegiate struggles

i'm the world's worst college student. i never want to go to class and hardly ever force myself to. (i'm very lenient when it comes to myself and matters i don't want to deal with. exactly why our spare bedroom currently looks like the inside of one of those storage units on storage wars. bleh. )

today, i woke up earlier than my alarm because i felt i'd slept enough. whaaa? i don't really recognize this person that goes to bed latest at 10:30 pm. i blame trevor's work schedule! homeboy has to be at work at SIX A.M. it's ruined my partying-college-lifestyle. this is beside the point. i woke up, got all ready for school, then realized i might have homework that's due. remarkably, i did have homework due! not only homework but a paper.

college: 6,421 jenny: -32

so instead of writing the paper i decided to blog because that's what every sane person would do, right? also, we're out of bread so i can't even make trevor a sandwich for school like i promised i would. hashtag struggling.

back at it, yo.

okay folks.

i started a new blog, again. i know, i know, i know. i've convinced myself that the reason i never fully committed to blogging in the first place was because i never enjoyed my blog aesthetically and hence all my posts seemed underwhelming to me. i would post and think, "bleh. i guess that'll do." 

my dreamy husband, trevor j. free, has been trying to convince me to blog again basically since we started dating. i finally explained to him my underwhelmed-ness about the look of my blog and he was convinced i could make one pretty all by my technology-stupid self. said by the man who taught himself how to play drums AND guitar (saaaah-woon). so, i'm doing it. or trying at least. the things i have yet to figure out:

those twitter, pinterest, facebook follow tag things... many hours of wasted attempts though.

how the heck to do i get my photos and header to not be mounted? like this:

but, like, imagine that GQ man jamming out on drums.
panty melter. 


how do i put those side links that link to my about page? and like, LDS.org?

also, i think one of those instagram photo feeds would be nice.

but isn't my header so hip? and i figured out how to use cute fonts! so feel free to shower me with design compliments and ADVICE. seriously, i'm struggling. hard.

HALP!
