Reflecting on the Weekend

My goodness,  I have had a great weekend.  Christmas was Saturday, and I received too much from Santa.  Unfortunately I didn't get anything really fun, just stuff for my apartment. :P bleh.  Don't get me wrong, I am very grateful for them, but being grown up is kinda boring. LOL. ah well. =] I loved them all.

Here is the countdown for today:

17 days until the big day

13 days until we speak in church

12 days until we go through the temple for the            first time

6 days until school and work starts again

4 days until the new year

2 days until invitations go out

I am so in love with this boy. =]

NuMbErS

This is how the countdown goes today:

23 days until we get married

19 days until we talk in church

18 days until we receive our endownments

15 days until the first day of spring semester

13 days until the first day back to work

11 days until the year 2011

4 days until Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!

My love and I have been dating 19 months as of yesterday.

We have been engaged for 108 days..... 

Time marches on... =]

Welp, we finally passed the 30 day mark....

As of today there is only: 26 days until we get married, 21 days until we go through the temple in preparation for the sealing, 13 days until the year 2011, and 7 days until Christmas.

Pretty Sure My Eyes are Really Tired

Oh my goodness? Its only Wednesday?? This has officially been the slowest week of my life!  It is probably also the most stressful. (my fault).  I absolutely HATE school, with a passion.  I have absolutely no..... motivation (couldn't even think of the darn word).  I don't even know what I want to be when I grow up... I wanted to be a nurse and a teacher, but now everything has gone fuzzy, and is all mushed together into a big blob of nothing.  The only thing that I know for sure is that I am going to get married next month, and I hate school.  Oh, and I like biology.  I also know that it is overwhelming to look at the future and see 3 or 4 more years of school when I have already done 3.  I should be 3/4 done, but no, I'm not even close.

What am I going to do with myself??? Someone please tell me what you think I should go into?? because all of my other plans have turned into mush and ya know when something isn't right anymore?? yeah. That's how I feel, only I am slipping and sliding all over this ooey gooey mush....

My Everything

I love this boy with all of my heart.

He is my hero, and life wouldn't be the same without him.

I am planning on spending the rest of eternity with him, and I can't wait!!

He and I go together like peas and carrots.

We make each other laugh with all the silly things we do, and we are always excited to see each other.

He is my soul-mate, my lover, my other half, my better half, my favorite, my boy, my best friend.

He lifts me up when I am down, wipes my tears when I cry, and laughs with me.

He gives me the world everyday, and doesn't expect much in return.

He is my everything.

November 14, 2010

I am getting married two months from yesterday..!  It is so close yet so far!! I love my darling with all my heart, and I can't wait to be with him for eternity.  We finally found an apartment we liked yesterday, and we are planning to start the moving process in December and have a deep clean before we officially move in... I want it to all be mostly ready when January 13th rolls around.  I'm so excited and it seems more real everyday!  I have been truly blessed.  I am so grateful for my love, more and more everyday.  I LOVE YOU! 

Ring-a-ding-ding

Well, since I have a little extra time on my hands today (I should be studying for a test... but I will later).... I decided to take some pictures of my ring... I haven't had time, or good lighting until today, so here they are. enjoy =)

He didn't like the box it was in, so he made this one <3

Isn't it gorgeous??? I absolutely love it!! and I hate taking it off. =)

Time Marches On....

I feel as though time is moving at a snails pace these last few days...  Even though every time I look at my countdown the numbers get smaller and smaller.... 77 days until I will be married!.... I wish though, that we could be getting married this month!! But that's not how plans go I guess. :/ ah well.... I think that as soon as Thanksgiving comes around, time will decide to speed up!! *crosses fingers*

Monday called in Sick

Well, in case all of you didn't get the memo... Monday called in sick, so today is Tuesday!!  UH. I wish it was Tuesday... I miss my love lots and lots... he will be home on Tuesday, which isn't until tomorrow!  I can't wait to hear about their hunting trip, and I hope that he comes home with a monster buck!, but I guess I won't hear back until tomorrow when they start heading home...so until tomorrow, I will be wishing that Monday really did call in sick...


Good Luck Darlin'!  Can't Wait to see you, and Bring home a Monster Buck! and we can celebrate with steak!!! =) hahaha

Sunday Sounds. =)

Sometimes its just nice for a pick-me-up, and music is one of the most powerful ways I know to make a person feel better. =)

FaceLift!!

I fall head over heels everyday has had a facelift! I am so happy with how it turned out, simple yet cute... =)


Well, my love is gone hunting this weekend... its supposed to represent his last 'big' hunt before we get married... but we all know he isn't losing his hunting, he is gaining a hunting partner!!! =) I am so excited to tag along with him, and learn everythin' he knows... I am also excited to become good at it; I have the best teacher!


Even though he is gone, and I have my family, I still feel a bit lonely... I like shopping and girl stuff every once in a while, but I would so much rather be out hunting with the guys!! The mountains/outdoors is my peacful/happy place.  I can't wait until he gets home, and hopefully he comes home with a big buck!


I have been putting together our slideshow for the wedding, and to give you a sneak peak look how freakin' cute we are!! 

 

This is his favorite picture of me!

and this is my favorite picture of him!! haha. I laugh everytime I see it. =D

I would love to show you all the rest, but you have to come to the reception to see my video!! I don't wanna give it all away ;) hehehe.

Bridals/Groomals!

Blessings...

I have been so blessed recently!  I don't think I could count how many blessings I have recieved...
I have been substituting as a lunch worker for the local school district, and applying for lunch jobs and on Thursday I was offered the job I was working for the week!  I was so happy because I hate being unemployed... It gets so boring!  I love working as a lunch lady because I am done at 1 pm everyday and I get all the holidays and weekends off. yay!  This just makes me so happy and eternally grateful that I was offered the job.....  The best part of this job, is I love the people I work with at this school.  they are so funny!  I haven't laughed this hard in a long time... hahahaha.... its always better when you like the people you work with because then you actually look forward to going to work. =D

So much to do!!

Oh my goodness.... So much to do!
But luckily I have a couple things crossed off of my list. yay. :)
Planning is fun, but.... crazy!  I am so excited to see the outcome!! =) =D...


For all of you that must know:


Our Wedding Date is officially Thursday, January 13, 2011 in the Manti Temple.

let the planning begin!

Today was the best day of my life!  I am now officially engaged to the love of my life..... To all of those who would like to hear the proposal story:


About a year or so ago my boy and I had our first date, four wheelin up Spanish Fork canyon up monk's hollow... So, this morning we had planned to go on that date again.  


We got up bright and early... well, he had to wake me up cuz I was still snoozin when he showed up at my door.


On our little four wheelin trip we saw a red fox, a coyote, and a pine hen! Once we got to a little pond, we had a little picnic, and I was the only one eatin.  It turns out he was too nervous to eat... He got too excited to wait, so he asked if I want my present now or later and of course I said NOW.. =) lol... so then he asked me to stand up and he got down on his knee to ask me, and I said Yes, Yes, Yes while jumping up and down......

ah. finally.

whew.... I was scared my background was  gone forever! yay. its back...

I haven't blogged in a long time.... but the only thing going on in my life right now is school.  My boy is going to school to be a plumber and I will be a elementary school teacher! I am sooo excited. =D  I am planning to get all my pre reqs done this year and start the program the following fall semester.  woo hoo!  It's nice to see that my goal is actually within reach.

Relaxing

Spent last night with my boyfriends family, and had so much fun!  I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.  His sister is home for a little while with her hubby and her little baby girl, and her baby is darling!  I just love this family. :D.  It was just nice to relax and spend time with each other around the fire.  My boyfriend says I better get used to it, because we don't have money to do anything else. LOL.

Job Interview

So I had an interview today with Sears at 11:30.  I got dressed up and went in and impressed myself.  I usually have a hard time with interviews because I have a hard time focusing, so I have to ask what the questions were like five times.  It's quite embarrassing actually because I try so hard to listen and remember, but I always space off.  This time was different though.  I only had to ask what the question was once, and I was just excited because I did so well! Now I am waiting for the call back..... *biting nails*.... I hate waiting!!!!

huh.

Today I went shopping with my boyfriend's mom.  It was really fun, haha I love being spoiled! I got two dresses and a really cute pencil skirt... haha, I found out that I am sort of a plain jane.... I tend to be pulled towards the clothes that are plainer, and dress them up with accessories.. I don't like to feel too pulled together. Ya Know? ... and, If I happen to like something that is not so plain, I have a hard time putting accessories with it because I feel too done up.  Anyways fashion-speak is starting to wear me out, because I don't speak it very often. HAHA 


My boyfriend's sister is going to be here on monday, and i am so excited!  she is so fun, and she has the cutest baby!! can't wait to see how much she's grown!! awww.. . I love babies!, and my boyfriend is just adorable with her!!! 

                        AWWW!

Just a wee little bit of... STRESS...

So, I don't know why, but lately my family has been like "WEDDING!!"... 'you gotta do this, you gotta do that by this day' and so on!  I don't even have a ring yet! I guess that's what you get when you have 8 younger sisters.... It has been fun thinking about it, but it still is a bit stressful.... but ya know what? If I have everything planned now, I won't have to worry too much while I am working full time and going to school at night during the fall semester... SO, maybe I should take advantage of this offer... maybe not.... what do you think??

Dance Dance Dance....

So today was pretty much amazing!  I went on a long wheeler ride up Spanish Fork Canyon, shot like five pot-guts, waded in a stream, and danced the night away!  I do wish however, that at the Barn Dance they play country... and I wish people actually knew what country was good to dance to and what wasn't, also how to dance to it! But it was fun otherwise... I spent most of my time trying to teach my lover how to dance... he doesn't like dancing a whole lot because he is such a perfectionist and has to be good/perfect at it RIGHT NOW. haha, but I somehow managed to break down the barriers and teach him a few simple moves that we mastered... My favorite part of the dance was slow dancing with my love.  He would kiss my forehead, and I would just melt. I <3 my boy!!!

ThInK

Sometimes I sit and think... I don't think I have ever been as happy as I have been these past few months.  I have been blessed with so many blessings, I feel guilty asking for more, but one thought has always come up in my mind.  Being bad and/or rebellious is really fun, I am not going to lie, but the entertainment and excitement of it never lasts, so you have to go looking for something else 'bad' to do to keep up with the excitement, and soon you find that you have gone way too far down the road than you have originally bargained for... You feel Lost and you feel as though there is nobody that could help you, and that you are too 'bad' to even think about changing your life.... but then when there is no hope, a light shines through with a feeling of hope.  Friends and Family come through and help you reach the light, and receive the blessings of the atonement, and soon you find yourself actually wanting to be good.  So you start doing good things.... and then you make the greatest discovery.  Being bad may be fun, but being good makes you feel happy.  Happy is a feeling that fun cannot replace.  Happiness comes with peace, and it is not as fleeting as fun.  It is far more satisfying to find happiness in your life, than to find fun.
