Happy Cinco di Mayo!

I haven't really had any wedding nightmares the last little while until last night. It was our wedding day and we went to the temple for the sealing right? Well when we got inside the temple, this guy told us that it was booked and we hadn't been scheduled. I freaked out because I had the temple booked before we even got engaged. So we asked if we could still come out of the temple and just pretend that we had been married and just go on with the day as planned. How depressing would that be?!?! I am one that wears my emotions on my sleeve and there is no way I could pull that off. :S It was so awful it woke me up. But it seems that the majority of those dreams are when I'm not prepared. I feel like I have alot done, but then I look at my list and I really don't. I'm going to try and get alot done these next few weeks since I'm taking classes this summer. I'm going to be busy busy busy! I have been thinking of getting a second job. But with taking three classes, already working full time and planning a wedding, I don't know where I would get the time or energy! If only there was enough time in the day right? Or if only I could find a different "full time job" that gives me the hours and the pay I need! EEK!

ps. there is nothing better than tacos and a churro on cinco di mayo!

pss. does anyone know how to post videos from youtube on here??

Success!

Last night we went to dinner with our parents so that they could meet for the first time. You would have thought that maybe with us having dated for a year and a half that our parents would have met by now.. but NOPE! But it went SO well! There were no awkward silences or any embarrassing conversations. It is such a relief that our families get along so well! It was kind of funny cause our parents were so enveloped in conversation it felt like Ryan and I were there just for supervision.. and to get a free meal!! te hehehehe. I ate WAY too much food. So much for a diet. haha I still have 4 months and 18 days to get in shape! Speaking of which, MY DRESS COMES THIS WEEK!! Well, its supposed to. That's what she told me last week. I am so pumped! I really wasn't supposed to be getting it till June, but now I am thankful that the dress lady was spacey and ordered it sooner.

I have one more paper to write and one more final and this semester is OVER! Now I have three classes left till my associates degree. I am signed up for two of those for this summer, but I'm trying to decide if I should just get it over with and take the third one this summer as well. My dear friend Jessica brought up a good point the other day, would it be worth it to declare for my associates when I'm planning on getting my bachelors eventually anyways? What do you think? It might take me another 4 years just to get it. lol.

On a more serious note... I want to apologize to all who had to deal with my whining and pity party attitude lately. Since Ryan and I decided to embark on our journey to getting ready for the temple, we thought we were prepared for the temptations and other things Satan would throw our way. WELL, somehow he knows how to find the cracks and get in anyway. He has been hitting me hard with self doubt, self consciousness, discouragement, and focusing on what I am not or don't have and comparing myself to others. These are all very self destructive. And I have been focusing so much on the things that I don't like about myself I forget to see the good. Although I have been reading my scriptures, saying my prayers and going to church this all seems to happen nonetheless. Then when I had one of my break downs, my father and I had a talk where he brought up a very good point. Why do you think we are asked to thank Heavenly Father for things when we pray? Not because he wants to be thanked for all he has given us, but so we might really realize all that we really do have and how blessed we really are. Its so amazing how God answers our prayers. On Sunday we sang Count your blessings in sacrament meeting.... coincidence??? I think not.

Wo little me.

Does it ever feel like you have to work harder than everyone else to get what you want? Ryan and I have been feeling kind of bummed lately. It feels like alot of people we know are getting hooked up with good paying jobs, or houses or whatever. Mind you this is merely for venting purposes, because I'm not saying that all of these people don't deserve them or didn't work hard to get these things, because I really am genuinely happy for them. It is just hard to see everyone elses hard work pay off, but ours never seems to, even when we aren't asking for much. I'll keep trying to think that it will one day... but as for now, its my party and I'll cry if I want to.

FORE!

Yesterday was so nice, Ryan and I went and hit a bucket of balls. Mind you, I dont know how to golf, mini golf is the only extent of golfing I have ever participated in, and I get quite bored and frustrated with the sport. Neither of us really knew what we were doing, but it actually was pretty fun. I need to remember this next time I need to get out some aggression! When we were done, I wanted to go pick up all the balls in the driving range like easter eggs! haha
