Just to catch everyone up, here is what has been happening the last five months:
Me and Mitchell were married on the 23rd of March. I woke up at 4:30 that morning to shower, get my makeup done, and jet off for Alena to do my hair. I was running a little late because doing my makeup and shaving my legs took a little longer than I had expected. I shot Alena a text telling her that I was coming and that I was "So sorry for being late". I slipped my flip flops on, stepped outside, and sunk in about 2 feet of snow. . . . . WHAT?! NO!!!!! I ran to my car as fast as I could, CRAP! I have to scrape my car off. My feet were freezing, the snow was coming down as fast as I could scrape, and I was late for my appointment. This was supposed to be the most beautiful day of the year! Why was it snowing like this in March?! I finally jumped into my car, cranked the heat on for my feet, and reversed down the driveway. The snow plows had not been out, so the roads were awful. Down the road a few miles I started thinking "I'm not going to make it to Alena's alive, I'm just going to turn around and wake Chelsy up and have her do my hair" If it wasn't for the big truck behind me riding my butt, I would have. I finally made it to Alena's pretty late, but the hair wizard that she is, finished my hair with plenty of time to spare.I made it back to Chelsy's Loaded my car and started on my way to Salt Lake City, where Mitch was sitting cozy in hotel, looking out at the clear skies thinking I was crazy for telling him how awful it was in Springville. I kept a prayer in my heart the whole time I was driving down the freeway going 35 miles an hour that "I would make it to my own wedding so that I could make it to the temple to marry the man of my dreams for time and all eternity." I was supposed to be at the temple at 9:00 and I pulled in about 9:05. My prayers were answered and I was only about 10 minutes late. Mitch waited for me in the parking garage, and when I turned the corner and saw him there, butterflies started fluttering like crazy! I was about to marry this man in 2 hours, and I couldn't wait! He loaded all of my stuff in my arms and we ran like crazy towards the temple haha. While me and Mitch were sitting in the celestial room, we were both very nervous. We never told each other that, but we could both sense it from one another. Heck, he could still run at this point ;) While sitting in that beautiful room, I was very emotional. The spirit there was so strong and I couldn't believe that I was about to marry my best friend and get to be with him for eternity. I always knew that marring Mitch was the right thing, but while I was sitting there I had the most overwhelming feeling that I was making the right choice and that I was doing the right thing. A sweet old lady came and got us to meet our sealer, and right from the start we knew he was going to be the best. He ushered us into the sealing room, I about burst into tears seeing all of our family and loved ones grinning from ear to ear as we walked in. Robert Fillmore was our sealer and did an amazing job, everyone was amazed with him. While sitting there, I knew that everything he was saying was coming from God, the spirit was so strong in that room, and Brother Fillmore was glowing the whole time. Mitch and I said our "yes's" and went to get changed so we could go and meet all of our family, and celebrate with them. I loved having all of our families there, and couldn't believe all the love and support they had given us. It was the most beautiful wedding ever. Of course I am biased because it was my own wedding. I wish I could get married all over again, to Mitch of course. I just love weddings.
After the festivities were over and the next day came, we drove to Vegas and stayed there for a week. We had a blast, and loved every minute of it. We stayed in 3 different hotels, and a very nice condo. It was so nice to have a relaxing week after 4 months of wedding stress. After our long wonderful week, we drove all the way to Victor for our reception.
We spent a couple of weeks with our families, and then we were off to Boise to look for a place to live before Mitch started School in May. OH MY GOSH. Looking for a place was probably the most awful thing we have been though together so far. We needed a place under $500, because I am the only one working while Mitch goes to school, we needed month to month, because Mitch's school is only 4 months long, and we didn't want to live in too trashy on an area haha. We finally found a place after 2 weeks that was in our price range. When we moved in I thought it was the end of the world! The day we were supposed to move in our landlord was still in there painting taking his sweet time. We didn't move in till that night at 11:00. I was furious. We got our bed set up and that was it. This place honestly was a wreck. The tenant before us was a smoker, and the landlord hardly cleaned up. The floors and countertops were still yellow and sticky, and the oven was caked with grease! The bathroom had not been cleaned, and neither had the TOILET if you get what I'm sayingI It was disgusting! (It reminded me of that 'Boy Meets World' episode where Cory and Toganga move into the dorms when they are first married) I wanted to leave so bad! AND we both have to travel 30-45 minutes a day. :-/ But the Lord has blessed us with the money that we have needed :) It has gotten better, and more homey feeling, but I'm still ready to leave haha
Mitch is still going to school and has loved every minute of it, other than the "know-it-all's" that he can't stand, but they make for good stories ;) He is doing so well with his school work, and gets almost all A's on his tests. I am so proud of him. He is looking for work right now, and its kind of scary because we could end up anywhere. I thought Boise was far away from home. . .HA not as far away as some of these jobs might take us! At this point in our lives, we're just hoping he gets a job. We'll have to worry about the location later. Mitch is getting ready to Graduate in two weeks, we both can't wait!
Right now, I'm working two jobs and staying very busy! I am a server at Sizzler still and am a Nanny for my aunt. So I watch my cousin Parker everyday from 12-4. I don't think I've ever been this busy before, but I think it's good for me. . . Maybe haha I'm just ready for the new Chapter in our lives, and can't wait to see what our new adventure will be.
Everyone have a Fabulous Saturday night!
