THE Wedding, Part one

I haven't blogged in like four years! Life has been so crazy lately! So I will just tell you what I have been up to. I am working, going to school, and I just started an INTERNSHIP at a dental office and I love it!! But it makes my schedule so tight and I am beat at the end of every day. But I would so much rather be worn down at the end of the day than full of energy, that way I can participate in my favorite pastime, sleeping. Mmmm delicious.

OKAY so Memorial Day weekend!! It was so fun, we had a bunch of family over for a BBQ, we played games, games that almost offended Cory but he ended up being okay (haha). It was so fun and I Have two pictures from that weekend on my camera:

(Okay see where the water and grass meet? There is a sidewalk in there somewhere, it is so flooded!)

Okay so next item of business was Preston and Jenny's WEDDING!! Okay may I just say it was the funnest two day sof my life. The night before we had an "adult only" dinner at Magleby's in Provo (maybe Orem I don't know). A few people gave toasts, and Jenny sang "You Got Me" by Colbie Caillat. I loved it! Whitney came too and I love, love, loved having her there!!

(Whitney!)

(okay my sisters are cute but I look like I haven't slept for a week, which was pretty much true at that time)

(Jenny singing, that column got in my way though, rude)

The next morning I literally rolled out of bed in my mom's pj bottoms and my dads XL shirt and went to breakfast in the hotel. It's nice to know that I am one of the classiest people I know. After that my mom, Emily, and I headed to Jill's to fix our hair and head to Bare Escentuals to get our make up done. Jill also did Jenny's make up and it looked fabulous!

We made it to the SLC temple a few minutes before they came out and once they did it was happiness all around!! I loved it! So we went on a picture taking frenzy. Emily and I agreed that this was the most make up we had ever worn in our lives. The lady who did Jill's make up (she says here name is Ken-dell like you pronoun dell like a dell computer but I think her name is just Kendell and she wants to be fancy) tried giving her fuller lips by lining her upper lip on her skin and it ended up with a mexi looking result. Sorry if that offended anyone, but it was funny I couldn't stop laughing. You can see it in some of the pictures just look closely.


(My Aunt Julie and her daughter, Katelyn, she is my favorite)




(emily is a giantess height-wise)

(the groomsmen. I will post about bridesmaids later, I dont have the pictures!)



After the temple we headed down to Orem where the reception was to be held. But before the reception there was a light dinner served... PIZZA!! Malawi's pizza, it was divine. I had to give a toast, along with Emily, and Jenny's brothers Jeff and Brandon. I don't even remember what I said in my speech but thats okay.  After that the reception began it and it was SO MUCH FUN. Some of our odest family friends came to help us celebrate. It was a great, great night.









(Okay my new friend Jennie! She is Jenny's cousin and she is fabulous. Also, everyone is named Jenny/Jennie lately) 
(My cousin Eric, he is single so if you want his digits let me know)

(sign in table!)


(Beauty, glory)

Anyways it was so wonderful and I am SO HAPPY for Preston and Jenny, their marriage felt so natural and so right, even to me. And I wasn't even the one getting married haha. I am so happy Preston found someone to spend forever with! He has always been one of my best friends and I am so glad he found someone as awesome as Jenny. I love them both!!

Congratulations you guys!!

I am in one of those irrational moods where everything pretty much ticks me off. The end.

Why?

I love that when I plan on cleaning my room, doing all my dishes, dishes, showering, watching The Voice, and blogging I end up taking a two hour nap.

Oh wait. I despise when that happens. I feel like such a little poo poo.

Why do I do that?


ps- Memorial Day weekend was fabulous. Pictures coming soon:)

Good, great, fantastic, awesome, cool

This past weekend was so fun. I didn't take any pictures because...well I just didn't. But seriously.. I can't even tell you how great it was!! Well yes I can, it was really great. Really really good great fantastic.

Anyways the weekend was filled with Twizlberry, grocery shopping, a picnic, Hogie eating, (lots) of oreo eating, beautiful weather, beauty pageant quizzes, a wedding reception, the best breadsticks in the world, good conversation, smiles, laughter... all sorts of happy things! Except wind, I didn't like that so much.  I hope I have another weekend like this last one soon!!! Maybe memorial day weekend with the fam, that would be most excellent.

Here are some pictures from the last few weeks, kids. Enjoy!

Busted Zipper

My brother Preston got home from his mission July 2009, it was a happy time! His mission was in the Southern states so he ate lots of fried foods and to put it nicely he gained like 40lbs it was quite alarming to see him when he got home since he had always been so scrawny!

Anyways the weight pretty much started started falling off within a few months after he'd gotten home. Which was kind of dumb because we had all bought him clothes to fit his new body. But the clothes got too big with in a few weeks!

So one day Preston was talking with me and my mom and all of the sudden he took off his shorts without unbuttoning or unzipping them. It was a little alarming to see him standing there in his underwear.. but not really because it's Preston. Then he says, 'Hey guys I wanna show you something, I can jump into my shorts."

He then holds his shorts out at arms length and jumps into the air and tries to jump into them (keep in mind they're all buttoned and zipped) and completely destroys his zipper! So my mom had to sew the zipper up. It was funny.


(Fresh off the plane!)

(Present Preston.. he looks so good!)

Funny text message

I have to *blog* this down so I don't forget about it.

The other day I was texting this person, I was going to bed so it was time for the goodnight messages, you know how that goes.

Me- Okay well I will let you go!

Person I was texting (PIWT)- Alright, have a god night

**Huh? Ba hahaha**

PIWT- By god I mean good, but god be with you too


Hahahahahahahahahahah I might have laughed so hard. Am I the only one who thinks that is hilarious? Oh well. Please be my best friend.


MOVING ON..

I recently discovered Tumblr blogs. This person I know has one and he puts the funniest jokes on it. Here is a link to his tumblr. Arthur's Tumblr. Kind of creepy because I don't know him all that well, but we went to In & Out one time with Kirsten (cousin), actually the only time I have ever been there! He is just a great human being and really good friends with my cousin  Jan.

He also has lots of pictures of women, so if that makes you feel inadequate and uncomfortable then you'll just have to get past that.  Haha just kidding. So everything I am copying is from Arthur's Tumblr. I do not claim it, this is not plagiarism people.


A duck walks into a bar, the bartender says, “What’ll it be?” The duck doesn’t say anything because its a duck.

Why was six afraid of seven?

It wasn’t. Numbers are not sentient and thus incapable of feeling fear.

You know what? Love isn't  blind. It's retarded.

A duck walks into a over 7-11 and says “Give me some Chap stick, put it on my bill!” But the cash register attendee doesn’t speak English and cannot understand him. He does, however, question whether his God is punishing him because as all people know, Ducks cannot speak, however, this hallucination must be punishment for a horrid misdeed. The employee breaks down into tears and begins reciting prayer. The duck, slightly miffed, walks out, pondering why he’d need Chap stick anyway, since he has no lips.

Here is a picture:


Just because every blog should have a picture. And I wish I could wear hats every single day.

It snowed in April!

Yes it is true. In Salt Lake City, UT there was a freak snowstorm that lasted about 10 minutes! Luckily it didn't put a damper on the whole weekend!

I LOVE CONFERENCE WEEKEND. More than any weekend. And it happens twice a year, it is when our church leaders get up and give talks about various subjects like self reliance, family, marriage, repentance. I honestly just think it is the greatest thing. It helps me refocus and realize those things I need to work on to become a better me. And to be better for my future if I happen to be a wife or a mother some day ;)

So instead of writing about it I will post pictures because pictures are worth 1,000 words, yeah? So this will be about 30,000 words. Cool, here we go.

(Before we went shopping!)

(Mother had a hard time buttoning her coat)
(I've found the golden ticket!)

(No, I found the golden ticket!!!)

(The conference center is beautiful!)

(The Watson clan and me!)
STORY TIME! Remember when I was in the Hill Cumorah Pageant this past summer? Well we were split up into cast teams and we had cast team leaders, they were kind of like our parents while we were there! These were my cast team leaders! The Watson's, and that is their son Mark ( he leaves on his mission this June!! Crazy), he was at that pageant as well, and I love him because he reads my blog and he is probably the sweetest boy I have ever met in my life. I am going to wait for him while he is on his mission. Haha I'm just kidding but I give his parents credit because they are so so awesome, I wish they were my next door neighbors. I honestly can't formulate words to describe how amazing all three of them are!   I was SO EXCITED TO SEE THEM!! They are from Canada so it was very special for me to be able to talk with them for a few minutes, until the snow started.. sheesh

(Waiting for the trax again)

(Driving home with my punk cousin Ben)

(I posted this because it is the most unflattering picture I have ever seen of myself)

(OH MY GOSH Dallin Fisher, my goodlooking cousin)

(That is a huge picture of him on the left, and on the right is a cardboard cut out hahaha)

(We had way too much fun with those! Miss you Dallin)


If you would like to watch General Conference CLICK HERE it should be available by Thursday or Friday.

Other things happened this weekend that involve Mexican food and an elderly British woman named Margaret that I will post about later. Maybe later today because I am pretty bored.

As always, thanks for reading
