Everything is coming together!

So It has been a while since i last posted and I figured it was time. Right now I am SOOOOOO excited! Scott finally got the keys to our new apartment and will start moving in this week, it is the perfect little place for us! :) Now the apartment find was my doing (i searched on craigslist and found it) but he did all the work. The pictures were small and I could not see it that well, but it did seem nice. So I sent Scott out for the job of going and looking at it. He loved it, but we were too late and someone else was snatchin it up. BUT...to our luck the next day the guy selling the apartment informed us that the people below them were moving out in like 2 weeks! SCORE!

Well being the over analyzing person that I am, I started to doubt how much I liked the apartment, I wanted to see pictures of it better. Scott said it was perfect, for sure the nicest married housing at BYU that he has seen, but still I was not satisfied. Then Scott sent me the pictures! Keep in mind that the apartment is totally empty and boring, but once I get in there, it will be the cutest apartment ever! Here are a few pics!

my eternal best friend

It was my mom's birthday yesterday and I took her out kind of as a gift. And let me just say, I LOOOOOOVE my mom. We talked a lot about me getting married and about the fact that I will be moving away, at one point she actually started tearing up, in which I responded "are you getting sad?" well that didnt help. Actually it just made her cry more, she wiped her eyes and i said "this is worse than when i left for college" and then she said "yeah but i knew you were coming back! but now you will be leaving and i dont know when you will be coming back, if you are ever coming back." it made me really sad. and it made me how much i really love and will miss my mom. of course i will miss all my family, especially my parents, but my mom is like my best friend. i call her almost daily (before i moved back with them and see her everyday anyway) if she does not hear from me in one day she gets worried knowing i didnt call. i dont know what im going to do without my mom. she has always been there for me, to listen to me and help me with all of my problems, and now im gonna have to do it all on my own. i know i will still call her a lot, but it wont be everyday because i will be a busy newlywed, and it just wont be the same. im going to miss my mom so much. she really is more than just my mom, she is my eternal best friend.

The LGN Diet

First of all, let me just say that I am sooooo PROUD OF MYSELF! I am actually starting to get the hang of this blog! honestly with the kind of days I have sometimes, this is truly an accomplishment. :) So, Im getting married in 39 days and in about 3 hours it will only be 38. SO CRAZY! Im so excited, but it's so hard to believe too.

Considering that my weight can fluctuate 5 pounds with the drop of a hat, I decided to start the LGN diet. Or the "look great naked" diet. So far it has been a massive fail. I talk myself into eating healthy everyday and then snack time rolls around for my classroom and BAM! snickerdoodles are all up in my face. Naturally I eat like 6 of course, feel horrible, tot around my water bottle pretending to be all health concious until I see the left over snickerdoodles at the end of the day. You see I am the kind of girl who's idea of being on a diet consists of drinking a slim fast in addition to my breakfast. FAIL!!!

So here is a perfect example. Tonight, feeling horrible about my snickerdoodle rampage I vowed to my co-worker Susan that I was going to really eat right, and do yoga on the wii. I started dreaming up all these awesome salads that I could make when I got home, maybe cut up some ham, throw an artichoke in there (yummmm) ... then my mom arrives home with arby's...great. Its not that there is anything wrong with arby's, and that is exactly the problem. There is nothing wrong! So somewhere in between me registering the arby's and scarffing 1 and half of them, my salad somehow disappeared altogether. And to top it all off, my mom offered me the mint shake they got for free because their order took too long. MOM! you know better than to ask the girl who needs to fit into a dress if she wants a full fledged fat-shake! Did I decline? No. So now Im down here sulking about how I am never gonna loose 10 pounds before the wedding. Pathetic. I'll let you know if I ever make something of this diet. :)

i should have known better

Well. A blog is something I have always wanted to do, they were like the way cuter and more personal facebook and the less gay myspace. I also thought it would be nice to have a blog to update my life as I get ready to get married and start a whole new life. But shame on me, i should have known how much work these things involve. If you know me, I dont like anything of mine being just so-so or mediocre.(sp?) so if I was going to do this blog thing I was going to do it right, done up cute and so loaded with crap you couldn't even navigate. But ill tell you what, it took me half and hour, yes, thirty minutes to put up that text on my banner, and another 10 to figure out how to get it on. I shutter to think of what work getting the pics and the buttons and the frilly stuff on there must be. I admit. I tried the picture thing, and honestly, i gave up. I was starting to get a headache. But then I saw something beautiful...specialized fonts that you can add to your blog, complete with personal signature and everything. After reading the novel of a tutorial and finding out that you have to make a totally different website, convert all these codes, and change them all. Well i got half way through and just stopped. yeah ok im a quitter, but you know what? I am not about to spend all night on something I am not totally sure I will keep up. But hey, so far it looks pretty cute. I suppose I try making it better and more unique when I get better at this...or at least on a night where I haven't already been sitting here for 2 hours. I hardly believe anyone will be reading this yet, but oh well, GOOD NIGHT! :)
