For this post I'm starting at the very beginning, which means Valentine's Day morning. It all began with me waking up and getting ready like it was a normal day, because at the time it was. I've never been a fan of Valentine's Day so the fact that it was February 14th didn't faze me (except that I was happy for my parents because it's their anniversary).
When my husband woke up he hurried and got ready and we decided to head to Kneaders for French Toast. I was super excited because I've been wanting Kneaders French toast since forever but things always come up and we could never get there in time for breakfast. But this time we did and it was delicious!!
P.S. All the pictures were taken with my new phone and are shaped weird, but they honestly turn out better than if I take them with my camera.
Then I had class to get to and Chris went off to go find my Valentine's Day gifts, which included beautiful earrings, chocolate covered strawberries and a super cute card! It was simple, but honestly, we both knew we were going to St. George and we're trying to save up our money so it was perfect.
After class Chris went and got his new driver's license because he's 25 and old now. Then we ate at Carl's Jr. and started driving through the snowy canyon to my in-law's house.
Ugh! Worst picture ever! And why is it a different size? I don't get it!
Once at my in-laws, we transferred all our stuff to their car and we took of for St. George!! I was super excited to get away from the stress of school and just relax! On the way there we stopped at a gas station/petting zoo where I found a souvenir with my name spelled right!!! It's honestly a rare occurrence.
We arrived in St. George late that night and we visited Chris's Grandma Joyce before heading to our hotel (which was beautiful and amazing). We fell asleep soon after in the most amazing bed and now I really want pillows like that...
The next day was MY HUSBAND'S BIRTHDAY!!!! We woke up, ate pancakes and bacon and went off to the soccer tournament! My father-in-law coaches a team of twelve-year-olds that were playing in the tournament. While there, I ran into my best friend! Her dad is a soccer ref and he was down there for the tournament and I got to talk with my best friend Lauren and her mom, which was so wonderful! I miss them so much! They are seriously like a second family to me.
After soccer we went bowling! And I sucked!! I seriously don't think I've ever done that badly before! However I think I know why. Friday in class we learned about Social Anxiety Disorder and they gave us a mini-test to see if we had it and... yeah... there's a very great chance I have it. And looking back on my life I realize just how much I really do probably have this. I don't know what it means for my future, but I suppose it's a good thing I finally figured it out. Anyways, while bowling I feel incredibly anxious and stressed because I don't like being put in the spotlight, so when I go up and bowl and they all either cheer for me or say "oh, that's alright", I get this tension throughout my body because I don't want to be the center of attention. It's always happened, but I never knew it was a part of Social Anxiety Disorder. When I'm bowling with just Chris, I don't feel that pressure because I'm so in love with him and everything is comfortable and different around him, but apparently when I'm with other people I suck at bowling.
So last night Chris and I left happy little Cache Valley and went with his parents to the Real Salt Lake game. I don't know if I've fully expressed just how obsessed Chris and his family are about soccer, but they love soccer and know soccer better than anyone... probably...
So we were super excited to go because it was the U.S. Open Cup and RSL was playing against the worst team in MLS, so we thought we would win for sure... We were wrong. I usually have pictures from RSL games, but I don't for this one, because I don't want to remember it.
I'm not usually one to get angry at games, because while I like my team to win, I don't really care that much if they lose. Last night was different. The last half we were on our feet the whole time, yelling at the ref, shouting "Come on!" every time our players did something stupid (because they did a lot of stupid stuff last night), and having the most traumatic experience of my life (which is the whole point of this post, hence the title of the post, but I'll get to it in a minute).
I was so mad we lost. RSL is my favorite team and we are a fantastic team. But we lost in the U.S. Open Cup to the worst team. I still am mad. It was an awful experience. But at least the weather was good and I got nachos with nasty fake cheese sauce and a churro!!
While eating said churro, I had the most traumatic experience of my life. Okay, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but only by a little. I was standing there, eating my churro and watching the ever frustrating game, when a moth flew into my shirt got stuck in my bra and started flying around!!
It took all my will not to scream but I grabbed the front of my shirt and yanked it down, flashing anyone in sight trying to get the moth to fly out, and I just look in and see this moth flying around my boobs. It wasn't a small moth either, this was a big moth!
So Chris finally turns to see my yanking my shirt down and he's like "What are you doing??" right as this moth flies out of my shirt. I'm freaking out, because it was awful. A hilarious story, yes, but a completely awful experience. The rest of the game I kept looking up at the stadium lights at the thousands of moths flying around, terrifying it might happen again. And the moths really did keep coming down into the crowd. I was holding my jacket closed the rest of the game and holding tightly to my husband to protect me from any more moths.
Ironically, today a fly flew into a chest, it didn't go down my shirt, but I was still ticked off. I think this is a sign that I should stop wearing low-cut shirts, not that they're that low, but apparently low enough for moths and other bugs to sneak in. Also, why are bugs attracted to my chest? It's not that great. So I'm still freaking out a bit, and typing this makes my boobs (is that word to harsh to say on this blog?) itch and makes me paranoid.
Lesson Learned:
I'm wearing turtle necks to RSL games from now on.
Hello everybody! Welcome to October!! I love October because it ends with my favorite holiday, Halloween, and leads into November 4th, which is my birthday!! I also absolutely love this autumn time of year! I'm so excited for hay rides, corn mazes, pumpkin carving, and the ever beautiful fall leaf colors!!
So before we lead into October, here is my September in review, which is basically a small compilation of all the things I did during the month of September, with pictures!!!
So it rained a lot in the month of September in Logan. And elsewhere, I was so sad to hear about all the flooding and mud slides! I'm praying for everyone affected by it! But with it being the first big rain storm since we moved to Logan, we had tons of fun playing out in the rain. It was a blast! I love spending so much time with my husband!
So I bought these new rod curlers to try them out, you can read about that HERE. I did two things with them, curling and a sock-ish bun (because it wasn't a sock, it was a curler). I am still debating with how much I like these curlers. They tangle in my hair to easily and rip some of my hair out, but I do like the results. But I only really used them the beginning of the month, so I haven't fully figured them out. If you want a tutorial on either of the styles above, just leave a comment below!
Chris started soccer intramurals again!! If you've ever heard our love story, we met through intramurals. He was on my roommate's co-ed team and the rest, as they say, is history. So his first game was at 9:30 at night in the pouring rain, which is the reason for the poor quality photo. It's also the reason for this:
Honestly, that experience was so incredibly to me. She seriously went out of her way to keep me from getting wet in the rain. It's so incredible to have an experience like this and be able to see that there is still so much good in the world!! Honestly, Caitlin (or however you spell it), I cannot thank you enough!
Once upon a time it was Friday the 13th, and I had to give an oral book report in class. I was super nervous! My hands were shaking, I had prepared late the night before, and I had that awful fast/nervous speaking voice. My book was Inside Out: Strategies for Teaching Writing. It was over 300 pages long, I had about two week to read it, and (don't tell my professor or parents) I didn't read one page. I skimmed through the whole book, read all the chapter headings, looked online for summaries and reviews (which there were none) and I basically just made up my report. It went really well though and on the written section, I got an "A"! However, on the oral section, I accidentally called the book a novel, not even thinking about it. I knew by definition the book wasn't considered a "novel", but it was merely a slip of the tongue... but my teacher certainly didn't think so. She called me out on it right away: "A novel? Do you know what a novel is?" I was already incredibly nervous, but now I was incredibly embarrassed! "I know, I didn't mean to say that." I tried to cover up my mistake, but it was too late. She had chastised me in front of the class and my face turned red with embarrassment. And that is my Friday the 13th story.... and watching and smelling as my coworker cleaned throw up out of the garbage can, but that's a whole other issue.
First of all, I'm kind of upset at my dad for lifting up his hand and ruining the only good photo I have of my brother from this day. So football season began and I had the wonderful opportunity to drive for two hours in horrible dark rain to watch my old high school's football game... just for my brother performing at half time. The Alta High School Marching Band is new this year, and I'm so glad my brother is able to be on it for his senior year and doing something he loves. He did a fantastic job! I would show you pictures from when he was on the field (at Rio Tinto, which was pretty cool) but my sister took pictures and I recorded it. I might put the video up, but I don't have any pictures because my sister hasn't made them available to me yet. I had a great time watching my brother doing something he loves! He went to all my dance performances and I was very happy to go and support him too!
Speaking of my brother, this handsome boy turned 18 on the 18th! He is seriously one of my best friends in the whole world and I just love him so much!! I was really sad I couldn't be there to celebrate his birthday with him, but I got to over the phone!! While he was opening presents, my family had me on speaker phone so I could hear what was going on. After presents, we all sang to him before he blew out his amazing Darth Vader candle:
It was sad to not be there, but I got to be a part of his birthday anyways, so I was happy. Nick really is like my best friend and I just love him so much. Even if he did grow to be almost a foot taller than me, he will always be my little brother Nick!
And for any of my LDS peeps wondering, he is not going on a mission yet because he's still in school. He'll probably be putting his papers in next summer, which is totally crazy to me! He's too old! It still weirds me out that he can drive, it's even worse that he's a senior this year... stop growing up Nick!!
After two months of searching I finally found Impress, Press on Manicure. I have an official review HERE, but just know I absolutely loved it!! It looked so good and took less than five minutes. I love it!
I wasn't there, but my husband came home one Saturday with this monster fish!! It weighed about four pounds (our scale didn't work well with measuring the fish) was almost two feet long, and it tasted delicious!! It was super scary though, take a look at it's teeth:
(The eyes only look so scary because of my camera flash, but it really is a scary fish, and big) On the same day Chris also caught this fish:
Who wouldn't die. Honestly. He came home from fishing and we had somewhere to go so he stuck them all (there was a third fish too) in the sink and put them in water so they wouldn't start to rot and stink. The bass pictured above (which I apologize for the blood on the fish and my husband's hand...sorry!) started breathing again once we filled the sink with water, but he was upside down and bleeding so we didn't think much of it. Two hours later when we got back from our thing, we came home to find him still breathing. I then suffered though watching Chris and his friend Ben banging the fish's head on our sink to try and kill him as well as stabbing. I then also watched the entire gutting of all three fish, which was a very bloody and dramatic sight where we found half swallowed baby fish inside of them.
I think I learned from this experience that I never want to gut a fish. I also learned that my husband is a very good fisherman and a tough man who didn't flinch whatsoever while cutting open three fish. I also learned that I never want to see people hitting fish against my sink. Lastly I learned that when Chris guts a fish in my sink, he knows he is then required to clean the whole kitchen, and he did a wonderful job at that. And he did a wonderful job at cooking the big one the next day. It was super delicious. He is so talented!
Now onto the thing that kept us from those fish for two hours. I put on my Latin ballroom costume, did my hair in a fake bob, Chris put on a white shirt and tie, and we headed out to the USU Literary Ball!! This years theme was The Great Gatsby, which is one of my favorite books! We were late because we thought it was a seven, but it really started at six. We got to watch the last half of the new Great Gatsby movie (which we both love) and got to eat some pizza. They also had poker (which we didn't do) and dancing (which we did for like five seconds). I was sad because I had been looking forward to it so much, but I was sick with a sore throat, runny nose and extreme exhaustion. I just couldn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to. It was decorated beautifully and it was super exciting to see everyone from my English classes all dressed up like the 20's, but I was too sick to have fun. I wish I hadn't been sick. :(
Speaking of being sick, I was so incredibly miserable that my boss allowed me a day off of work. That is when I found the above video. I honestly have watched this video over thirty times, I'm so in love! It is the cutest thing that I have ever seen in my life. I know I shared it for a Web Video Wednesday post, but I just had to share it again. So cute!!
This is out of order from everything else, but I want to thank everyone again for loving this post as much as I do! I never thought that a single post would bring up my page views so quickly! I feel so incredibly blessed by all of you! If you liked this post, know that in October my husband and I will be doing a lot of things on this list, there are many fall related items, so please check back to read about our adventures in Cache Valley.
This month I wrote a pretty depressing post in my anger, and I do apologize for that, although the majority of it is true. I wrote about how I am currently friendless and really struggling with depression (which I've had my whole life anyways). I want you all to know that while I am still struggling, I do know that I have the greatest family in the world! My family are the greatest friends I could have ever asked for and I feel so blessed to have them with me for eternity. I love my new family as well, my three new brothers who are all serving missions and my amazing in-laws. My wonderful mother-in-law contacted me when she found out I was sick and gave me suggestions on how to get better faster. She is amazing and I love being the new addition to their family. I know I am blessed, so I do apologize for that post, I wasn't trying to say everything in my life is terrible. I was only saying I wish I had more friends. Sorry for the confusion.
This month we celebrated four months of being together! I feel so unbelievably blessed to be married to this sweet, wonderful, sexy man. He takes care of me when I'm sick and even when I'm just lazy. He cleans our apartment when I'm away. He cooks me meal and makes me brownies. He constantly tells me how beautiful I am even when I don't feel it. I love him more than anything in the world and I am so happy that he is mine for eternity! Our life together is perfect.
Well, that's my September! I hope you all had a fantastic September and are as excited for October as I am! Thanks for reading!!

I have a goal to write on this blog everyday... but I literally can't think of anything to write today. So here's the random musing that come to my brain... WITH PICTURES!!!
My husband is growing out his facial hair. YAY! Lot's of people think I'm weird for liking his facial hair, but I think it's sexy! Sometimes he has a creeper stache and looks at me weird like this:
But it's fine. Because I still love him no matter what he looks like. :)
My husband really like otters. When we went to the zoo he held hands with this otter and made me take a picture. Otters are cute. They hold hands with their companions while their sleeping. I read that Harry Potter thing about Harry waking up in the 7th book and finding Ron and Hermionie holding hand in their sleep and Hermione's patronus is an otter!! How exciting is that? And Ron's patronus is a Jack Russel terrier which are known to chase after otters... apparently...
I took a picture with the seal at the zoo because I thought it was cute. But I'll be completely honest, that's a fake smile, because I had surgery that morning and I was in a lot of pain at this point. :( I haven't written about my "procedure" (not exactly a surgery) yet on my blog because it's very personal. But I do want to write about it, because it changed my attitude about life. For reals.
Our table broke recently. Everything on it collapsed to the ground. Including my laptop, which somehow landed underneath the pink pillow thing, and my cell phone, which the glass cut up the screen a bit, which I really don't care about that much because I'm not a fan of my phone. It's okay though because we didn't love that table much anyways. But it came with the apartment so we'll have to pay for it eventually. But we've decided not to tell the manager till we actually have the money to pay for it. Although, we kept the frame and it's very likely we'd just have to replace the glass.
Apparently The Wizard of Oz is "Coming Soon" to IMAX 3D! I've always loved The Wizard of Oz. I'm a huge fan of this movie because it just makes me happy! However, there is no IMAX theater in Logan. So who knows if it'll actually play up here in the middle of nowhere.
My husband is a very sexy fisherman. I love how passionate he is about fishing and how much joy he finds in doing it. He's so cute. He's also very good at catching fish, then cooking them for dinner. He's made them taste very good every time. Last night we had a delicious dinner of fish in rice bowls with vegetables. So so yummy!!! But he made a very big mess... which wasn't very fun... but it was very good and I love my husband for his cooking abilities. Because I'm not a fan of cooking.
Well, I guess the majority of this post is about how much I love my husband. I honestly am the luckiest girl in the whole wide world! :)
Chris and I spent the weekend away from our apartment and had an amazing time! It was so much fun spending time with family and doing things we wouldn't be able to do in Logan.
So we left Friday night after Chris got off work. We met his brothers and their friends at a movie theater in Layton. We saw Man of Steel. To be honest, I was feeling very sick and tired that day and was practically falling asleep during the whole movie. Now this is partly because of how exhausted I was, but maybe also because it was a really long movie and it couldn't keep my attention enough to keep me awake. But I don't feel like I can give an accurate review of this movie, because I was just so darn tired.
We stayed most our trip at my in-law's house and we slept in the most comfortable bed of my life. Honestly, I want them to give us the padding that was on that bed, because that was some of the best sleep of my life. The room also had a large TV that we probably get to steal once Chris's brother's leave for their missions next week (I can't believe they're leaving next week! That's so crazy! I'm going to miss them!) and we watched a lot of River Monsters on that TV at night. It was great!
On Saturday I helped my mother-in-law Michelle at Costco and other stores to buy all the food for the mission farewells. After shopping she dropped me off at Bountiful pond to go fishing with my husband and his brother. WE CAUGHT A FISH!!! Well Chris did, but I was positive that I was bad luck because on all the fishing trips Chris goes on, if I went with him, we would never catch anything. But we actually caught something and I was so excited!!! For dinner on Saturday we ate at Red Lobster. Oh my gosh! I love Red Lobster! So yummy! Except Chris and Kellin freaked me out and I may never have lobster or crab again...
Sunday was Devin and Kellin's farewell talks in sacrament meeting. They both did a fabulous job! They are going to be such good missionaries and Washington DC and Mexico are both very lucky to have them. Afterwords we had a great lunch of barbeque pulled pork sandwiches and many other delicious treats. We went fishing again that night and had a fun relaxing day.
Monday we didn't do much. Chris worked hard all day to get Tuesday off of work and we went to Kohls to return some of our wedding gifts and to get me a swimsuit for Tuesday...
Tuesday we went to Cherry Hill!! I had never been to Cherry Hill before! I was so excited because I absolutely love swimming! Chris and I went to a pool a while ago but I couldn't swim because of my stitches (which I realize all my readers probably don't even know about, but they're mostly healed now so everything is fine). I really liked Cherry Hill except the dragon slides because I kept falling over and a bee was on me and attacking me and it was really scary! :)
Also on Tuesday we drove down to Sandy for the US soccer world cup qualifier! IT WAS AMAZING!!! My face got sunburnt, I got a scarf and I got to watch an amazing soccer game! It was super fun to be there with Chris and his family! It was a blast! That night we stayed at my parents house in Sandy and I got to catch up on all the Dance Moms episodes I've missed since Lifetime doesn't allow me to watch it online for free anymore. I'm still upset about that, but knowing my mom will always record the episodes for me makes things better.
Wednesday we drove back to Logan. But not before stopping at a Blockbuster that was going out of business. We bought six movies for seven dollars! Totally worth it spending an hour searching through DVDs. I love car rides with my husband because we always sing really loudly to music and take a tally on how many people we see driving distractedly (more on that later).
I love spending time with my husband! This weekend was incredible! Now it's back to reality and searching for a job... I LOVE MY MARRIED LIFE!!!
This is my 200th post on this blog!!! So to celebrate I am going to write 200 things about myself. Wow. This may take a while...
My middle name is Rochelle.
My sister's middle name is Renee, my parents apparently like middle names that start with "R".

I would like a Camero some day.
I'm planting flowers in our kitchen window and I'm obsessed with watching them grow.
Again, really need to find a job.
I love wearing jeans.
I also love wearing dresses and heels, however it's difficult when your jobs require you to wear other things and walking around a freezing and snowy campus doesn't work well with dresses and heels.
I know more about computers than my husband. Ha!
My neighbor just brought me cinnamon rolls and I'm so happy I might eat both of them and not tell my husband they were here.
I love saying that I have a husband.

My husband keeps stealing my headphones.
I love that my new apartment has a washer and dryer.
Chris and I go on walks together every Sunday. I love them.
I really like playing with my hair.
I'm sick of my cell phone and the fact that no one calls or texts me besides my husband makes it kind of pointless anyways.
I'm literally too lazy to text sometimes.
May is my favorite month!
I'm so happy I got married in May!
Jon McLaughlin is my favorite singer.
I've seen him three times in concert and gotten my picture with him twice.

I don't love dogs, but I've agreed as long as I can name him Zoram.
Zoram is Nephi's best friend in the Book of Mormon.
Everyone tells me they weren't really best friends, but I say they were.
I'm not really going to give you something special for reading all these.
I would like comments though.
I sent my husband out yesterday with gift cards to Target to go buy us a microwave. He bought a red and black one. He knows me very well.
Chris and I keep saying we'll work out in the mornings, but we have yet to do that.
We got these memory foam bath mats and they are so soft!
My upstairs neighbors are very loud, yet I've never seen them.
Lemonade is probably my favorite drink besides water.

I am more afraid of the dark than I should be.
My grandma's dog pounces around like a bunny.
His name is Kabe. Or Kade...
I wish our apartment had Wi-fi. My laptop has to be plugged in to work.

Our spare room is still a mess, but it's a work in progress.
I really want to go to New York.
My brother-in-law is going to Oaxaca, Mexico on his mission.
That's where Nacho Libre was filmed.
My other brother-in-law is going to Washington DC. I want to go there someday.

I miss doing ballet and wearing pointe shoes and never thought I would say that.
I really just want to start teaching dance.
I really want to find a job soon.
117 was the favorite number of my posse in high school. It has something to do with Halo.
I played Halo in high school but I am terrible at it.
I really can't play games where you use the two different toggle thingys and one is for moving and one is for looking, I always end up looking at the sky and spinning.
I got fake eyelashes for my wedding but now they're falling off in patches and they keep coming off with my real eyelash attached! :(
A month ago I was constantly busy working and planning my wedding, but now I sit at home and do nothing but watch "Friends" and eat food.

I like reading.
If I get enough followers I should start on online book club on this blog...
I loved the acrylic nails I got for my wedding! And they were so hard to finally get off, but I had to get them off because they got so long I could hardly type on my laptop.
My husband is addicted to Monster Energy Drinks.
I think I'm going to make him buy me something every time he buys one.
Butterflies scare me.
Tomorrow Chris and I are spending the day in Salt Lake.
If you see me there I'll give you a prize!
I still have a lot to do before I'm satisfied with this apartment, but it's very beautiful regardless.
I love berries.
Skechers Go Walk shoes are very comfortable. I wore them in Disneyland for three days and didn't get any blisters!
I'm pretty used to getting blisters on my feet though. I'm a dancer.
I miss dancing so incredibly much.
I hate gum.
I really really hate gum.
I don't love cooking, but I'm very good at following recipes. So it turns out well.
I love the fact that I get to spend the rest of eternity with Chris!!!
I love the Draper Temple. It's so pretty and it's where I got married to the love of my life!
I want to play Mario Cart.
Wa hoo! Almost done!
I'm really happy with this blog.
I would love if you could share this blog with all your friends and family.
And also leave a comment here to let me know what else you would like to see on this blog.
My acrylic nails messed up my real nails. I'm upset.
My sister is one of my very best friends.
I love my little brother very much.
I engraved "You'll never walk alone" on Chris's wedding ring.
It's the logo thing for Liverpool FC, Chris's favorite soccer team.
While Chris's brother's don't like Liverpool, they said that it was very cool of me to do that. I felt good.
Command Strips are very effective. I promise.
My wedding dress was the prettiest dress in the whole wide world.
I feel sad that I may never look as beautiful as I did on my wedding day.
But my husband says I look beautiful everyday. He's a winner.
My honeymoon was incredible!
Sometimes it amazes me that it's 2013.
I like braiding my bangs back.
I don't really have bangs, but the hair is a bit shorter and just annoying.
I like hearts.
These aren't all things about me but they are 200 things.
I don't like making Ramen on the stove. I make it in the microwave.
I love going on IMDB and learning random facts about my favorite movies and shows.
It's how I learned Ellen Degeneres was up for the role of Phoebe in "Friends".
I love Ellen.
Next week is my sister's birthday, my twin brother-in-law's birthday and my father-in-law's birthday, three days in a row.
I'm so excited to spend tomorrow with my husband in Salt Lake!
I'm wearing my red pants today!
Chris can't dance, but dancing with him at our wedding was fun.
I bought a really pretty Mickey Mouse necklace at Disneyland.
Next week Chris and I are going to Park City with his family. Well for part of the week.
I like Park City, there are lots of stores there!!! Too bad I don't have the money to shop...
Chris and my dad both leave change everywhere.
I wonder how well Command Strips would work during an earthquake... Someone please test this out for me!
I love Mythbusters. Such a great show!!
I've been working at this list for like two hours now.
I think ties are really cool. I should get one.
My brother only wears bow ties. Once my mom and I bought him a real tie and he was sad. He was very sad that Chris wouldn't allow him to wear a bow tie at the wedding, but he looked really great regardless. I have a very handsome brother.
When my brother first got his phone I texted him "Hey handsome! ;)" but I sent it to the wrong number. Awkward moment.
I'm so anxious to get my wedding photos back!
I bought some really cool socks recently and I love them.
I love the white queso from TGI Fridays.
I don't have enough hangers to hang all my clothes. I really need to buy more.
I have a purse obsession. I want to buy a new one all the time.
Chandler and Monica are a very cute couple.
So are Lily and Marshal. I love them both very much.
I just really want a job. I'm not one of those girls who will sit back and just let her husband work. I want to work!!!
Our TV has a built in DVD player, but it's old and sometimes it freezes the movie for a while. This is really annoying especially when you know the disk is new and it's just the TV.
I really miss my husband right now. He's been working for the past five hours and I need him back!
Almost there! I love my readers very much and am so happy that I have as many page views as I do.
This blog is one of my favorite things to do with my life, so thank you for reading and thank you for your support!
So I'm in Logan for the weekend. Having lots of fun hanging out with my fiance. The main reason I'm up here is because we got our engagement photos done today! (thank you again so much Lindsey!) But we've done lots of other fun things as well.
I went ice fishing today for my first time. My fiance loves to fish. Which is why I gave him a fishing related Christmas presents. So he has lots of friends who also love to fish. Which is great. And I actually go fishing with him a lot. But we've learned I'm bad luck. See, every time we go fishing together, we never catch anything, but if Chris goes fishing without me, he always comes home successful. So, as tradition proves, we didn't catch anything this morning. But I did nearly freeze my toes off and we walked across the entire lake and heard the ice cracking below us. It was certainly an adventure!
We rented the third season of Friends and I've been watching all the episodes. I just love that show and we are trying to go through all the episodes. But it's difficult because there are very few movie rental places anymore and the one we do know of doesn't have the first two seasons, which is fairly important if your planning on watching a whole series. So...
Dear Netflix,
I would greatly appreciate it if you would put all the seasons of Friends on your website. I would watch every episode multiple times like I have with How I Met Your Mother and Avatar: The Last Airbender, and it would just be great! Thanks so much!

Getting our engagements done was great! Except it was freezing! It snowed all last night so we had a beautiful amount of glittery snow to work with and it was fantastic! But it was so cold! At one point I felt like I had been at the dentist and he had numbed my lips because it was really difficult to smile. I wonder what those pictures turned out like... I should be getting them back in one to three weeks. I'll keep you posted.
I played FIFA with Chris. I hate games, but I usually like video games. And while I have nothing against this one, I was just pushing buttons. I had no idea what I was doing. It was a struggle. And in normal soccer, the score doesn't usually end up 7 to 0. So... totally unrealistic game play.
We have gone out to eat for every meal. We've had Subway, Wendy's, Rumbi, Jimmy Johns, Einstein Bagels, and Cafe Rio. And the greatest milkshakes in the world. Seriously! I first had it on New Years, the first thing I had in 2013 and it was the greatest milkshake of my life, and I had it again on Thursday, still the greatest milkshake of my life. F'real. Find one and get it!!!
I apologize that the past couple days my only posts have been these gratitude things. This week has felt very stressful and crazy and I was going a little crazy (still am) so these gratitude posts were all I could muster. I'll work on that...
Today I am most grateful for my fiance, and I'll probably say that a million times, but he deserves it. I really have been having a bad week. Today wasn't so great either. It snowed all day, I hate snow (except on Christmas), my mom is stressing me out, she thinks it's her wedding not mine and doesn't care what Chris and his family want for the wedding, and I worked lots of hours this week, and while I love my job working with little kids, little kids and babies can make life stressful. So this week I haven't been feeling so great emotionally, physically, and mentally.
But my fiance took me to the Real Salt Lake game last night, we hung out at my house after the game watching TV, he slept on my couch, this morning we looked at our wedding reception venue (it's gorgeous, I'll write about it sometime soon), went out to eat, got cookies, and just talked. And it made me completely forget how stressed I was, how depressed I was feeling, and how sick I felt. He seriously took away all my stress.
I love Christopher because when I'm with him, I am at my most comfortable and happy state of mind. He completes me and makes me feel better no matter what. So today, he is what I am most grateful for in my life. I cannot wait to be married to him for time and all eternity!
Today I am most grateful for REAL SALT LAKE!!! Why? Because my fiancee and his family are season ticket holders. And there is a game tonight. So he's coming down from Logan for the game. RSL plays at Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy. Where do I live? Sandy. So he was coming down, going to the game, then coming to my house to see me, which is great because we usually only see each other on the weekends. But now, I also have a ticket. So I'm going to the game and get to see my fiancee and I'm just super happy.
I regret to inform you that you're missing out on a fantastic player by not choosing my boyfriend to be on the team. I've never seen someone so dedicated to soccer in my life. He's always playing soccer, watching soccer, studying soccer, thinking about soccer, ditching his girlfriend to play soccer...
He's a fantastic player and I truly feel that he loves the game more than the player that you did choose. So bad choice on your part. He's the greatest I know. Shame on you.
