wifey.

That is me and my husband, because I am now married and am now Mrs. Josh Montanye. (say it Mon-tan-yuh.) :)


That is the biggest, newest update that I need to post on here :)  I'm loving marriage and so in love with Josh.  Things are going so well!  


Let me just say, that God hears prayers, even when you stray away from what he is yelling in your face to turn around and go the opposite way that you are going.  I went my own way and didn't listen, but he still heard me, got me out of my mess, and blessed me with this amazing man, and I am so thankful.


Wedding week...  for the most part, it was very relaxed and fun.  I'm so thankful I am married to the most organized male in the United States... seriously, he should win an award.  He made an entire binder with organizational tabs and all our paperwork and lists.  On top of that, he surprised me and paid for my dress fittings and my hair (and my mom's hair.)  Isn't he the best?


We honeymooned on the Hawaiian island of Oahu.  It was great also.  We ate, slept, and laid on the beach.  


Life, presently, is consisting of unpacking and moving into our large apartment, getting ready to see Josh off for hunting season (he guides with his dad's outfitting business), and getting ready for my marathon in October.  I have a lot of work to do, but I know I can do it.  If anyone wants to push me in any way for my marathon, I'm open to it :)  If anyone wants to check out Josh's dad's outfitting business, here you go:  Elk Range Outfitters  It's pretty cool, but I do miss him when he's hunting :)


I'll be updating this more often now that all the big events and business are starting to be over.  I'll probably also get a lot of time in between my fall activities... you know, knitting like a grandma, watching Friends, and running :)  That is my life when Josh is gone in the forest :)


I hope you're all having a lovely start to your September :)

timing.

I'm getting married in a week and a half.  I have so much faith and confidence in Josh and I, I could not be more sure that this is the best decision for my life that I have ever made.  I am SO excited.

This morning, I watched my grandma go in an ambulance to the hospital.  I don't know what's going to happen, and I know she's 95, lived a good life, blah blah blah, but it's still sad.  I don't want to say much more on this.

My uncle was rushed to Missoula on Friday because he had a heart attack.  He was just moved to the ICU. I don't know what will happen to him either.

I'm feelings so many things.  This is just such weird timing.

Please keep these guys in your prayers.

Thank you.

update.

This is just a quick running update.

I just ran my second half-marathon on Sunday.  The course was beautiful and I think this was probably my favorite race I've done so far, just because it was so pretty, and really well organized!

I also got a really cute race shirt :)

I signed up for the Portland Marathon last night with a little processing and help from Josh encouraging me.  He is so good at that.  So... my next running adventure, I will be taking on the full 26.2 miles.  Yes, I'm very nervous, but I know I can do it!  I am really excited!

I will get on here soon to give a more thorough life update.  I was really fortunate this weekend to talk to two really good friends, Carrie and Becca, and realized even more that I can't wait to see everyone next month!!

I hope everyone had a great week so far!
