the bridals

I got an "anonymous" comment the other day wondering when I would post my wedding pictures. I say "anonymous" because it is either
A) someone who is legitimately anonymous or
B) a family member, friend, or acquiescence that doesn't want to seem so antsy to see my wedding pictures because they know they will be super-great-awesome.


But the reason I have neglected this blog and the posting of the wedding pictures is because getting married in the middle of the semester does something to ya. Things like make you incredibly behind in all things school and you don't catch up on all things school until it is oh, finals week. Aka now. But, I need a break from studying so finally I can get around to posting!! there were approx. 1,000 pictures so, I'll narrow it down for you and split them into two posts. The bridals and the wedding day.

We will start with the pictures we had taken a month before the wedding. Yes, he did see me in the dress before the day. Sue me. But planning a wedding that will be taking place in Arizona while residing in Utah is not the easiest thing...

Also, you should love me because I narrowed down my 150 favorites of the 400 pictures down to 29 pictures for you all.

You are welcome.





























Now maybe someday I will do a collection of posts about how we met, fell in love, and our wedding day... but that day is certainly not today, or this week. Possibly this summer, but no promises.... This summer will be a busy one, filled with 40 hour work weeks and 4 online classes!

Oh boy, sooo excited. Except, all sarcasm aside, I really am!! Hot weather and tons of family. What could be better?

Besides marrying my best friend, not much.


ps, if you want to see more pictures, go to the album I created on facebook.com... right HERE

Winner winner 5 course dinner


Cost of filing out my bracket - 5 minutes
Time spent actually watching the games - 2 hours
Prize for being picked out of the top 1% - 10,000 big ones
Feeling of beating my dad, brothers, and husband in their favorite tournament of the year... Priceless


Last night ended one of the greatest NCAA bball tournaments ever. Well, I may be biased, but it was wonderful for my bracket :)

But, guess who is in the top 1% in the March Maddness tournament! Let me correct that, top .4% of the nation! This girl right here.

Now everyone cross your fingers that I get picked for that 10,000 prize :)

I can't believe I beat my brothers, the ESPN.com fanatics, in their favorite event of the year.. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if ESPN was their homepage. I don't think I have beat them in anything in my life, especially at something they love so much. Basketball.


Also my husband and I made a bet that the loser between the two of us has to make the other a 5 course meal. 

Guess who picked Duke to win it all?? That's right. He did.
Guess who gets a 5 course, 5 star meal?? This girl right here. Thanks Kentucky for pulling through!

Awkward//Awesome

I am back on the blogging train! For good, I promise! Well, maybe in 2 weeks once finals are out of my life. But it has been far too long since I blogged so I thought I would give you a little sneak peak into my lovely life as of lately.



Awkward:
  • I haven't showered since Friday. Looks like this girl needs to learn how to unclog a drain.
  • I somehow managed to burn and undercook the chicken for dinner tonight. Best wife award over here. Black outsides and a pink center. I'm going to poison my husband on accident one of these days...
  • I don't even qualify to take the anatomy class at the local community college, but somehow am perfectly eligible to take it here at the Y. Stillll trying to find a loophole...
  • Got 3 hours of sleep because of my mad procrastination skills. Finals month is here everyone.
Awesome
  • These. And the amount I consumed this weekend. Give me a tall glass of milk with those peanut butter oreo cookies and I am set for life... or, the weekend...
  • My wedding pictures have FINALLY arrived in the mail! Now I just need to go over the river and through the woods to my lovely grandmothers house to get them! So excited to spend countless hours of this next week (that I don't have) looking through them again, and again, and again...
  • That research paper that kept me up all night? Finished it with 3 minutes to spare...
  • March Madness. Enough said.
  • Being married. Yep, best thing I have done all semester.

Well, that dreaded finals month is here I think I have been hit with the end of semester blues. All these projects and research papers are piling up and I swear I thought I had at least another month to do them all!! Right? Where did the time go...?

Well, time to catch up on that sleep I am all too often deprived of...
over and out.
