I am like the happiest person on the planet. BYE

WE ARE MARRIED! WE KEPT IT HOT IN THE TEMPLE TOO

Yes folks, the day FINALLY came...and went...and was almost a week ago.  Oh goodness.  It was a beautiful day.  We slept in (in separate homes), spent some time together which was totally weird: 'we are getting married today' is always going to remind me of weird.  It was the most differet feeling ever.  We had no idea how to feel.  Granted, we had nerves and anxiety like NO other.  The car ride down (together) was super awkward too.  But once we got in to the temple, my 'scared' feelings went away.  Our sealer was the nicest guy ever.  He even said some funny stuff: 'that's what she said' and 'keeping it hot in the temple'.  I swear it on my life the heater was on, I was sweating bullets.  It was so wonderful tol walk in to the sealing room and see our families gathered together...all there to witness our marriage.  I didn't feel any different after, but I am feeling it now.  We are midway through our honeymoon on North Shore Oahu.  We are taking some down time OUT of the sun...we kinda killed it today...we might be lobsters...snorkling is so fun....but that is why I am blogging.  Being married to my bestical friend is the best.  We haven't had much, if any, contact with anyone since the plane ride but it is so wonderful.  He is the most amazing man ever and I am excited to do life together.  I do not have any real wedding pictures yet, but rest assured that I will post a link when they are online.  But my Uncle Claude took some:

OMG I am so happy. 

PS Why are people so persistant that I NOT be on facebook or blogging on my honeymoon? You can't have sex ALL the time...a girl's got to rest.

Trannnnysition

This is so weird.  I hope this weird in-between feeling never happens again.  Steven (I) has moved in to our new apartment.  It is turning out so flippin cute!!  We have wood floors and I LOVE it.  But the weird part is that he lives there and I don't.  I am in this weird transiton and don't know what to do.  All my clothes are at the new place.  I sleep on an air mattress that is half the size of my normal bed.  I have torn cartliage between my ribs and sternum.  I'm exhausted.  I am getting flabby because I can't work out.  My life is changing, that's a given.  But nothing feels 'normal'.  But I am so excited to marry Steven in 8 DAYS! And to go to Hawaii and finally RELAX!  This is just a weird spot to be in RIGHT NOW. 

Bye. 

Prescott, Arizona's little secret....

Yes, the Golden Corral.  It is the best place I have ever eaten.  We used to go alot as a family when I was younger.  Steven kept telling me how much he wanted to go.  I kept saying no.  But then I remembered that they have an ice cream machine there.  Then I realized I can eat anything and everything I want there.  So we decided to go.  MMMMMMMMMMMMM:

Let us not forget....

the dessert section. 

Holy crap people.  Go to the Golden Corral.  It is my plan to save the current economic state of our country: if we all went to the Golden Corral and ate everything, we would help stimulate the economy. 

The Golden Corral. 

Because everyone deserves a good meal. Amen.

Sandwiches

So I made some wicked good sandwiches for lunch yesterday.  I was going to wait to eat with Steven on his lunch break, but soon realized that I had to be at the elementary school during his break.  So I ate mine, leaving two behind for Steven, plus a salad and chips.  I covered them up with a paper towel and left them on the counter.  I left fir school, did an antonym activity with the students THEN I get this text from Steven, way after his lunch break, asking me where the sandwiches were and another about how the sandwiches were gone, the paper towel was shreded all over the floor, and the chips were scattered across the counter.  He then went on to say 'sandwich' like 50 more times and then finally concluded that the dogs, Bear and Bella, got ON the counter (at least a 3.5 foot jump) and friggen ate them!  So that is a pretty funny story right?  THE BEST PART: Steven just ate the salad for lunch.  Didn't think to make himself another sandwich.  Then he complained about being hungry all afternoon.  He might be helpless. 

FEASTER WEEKEND...

Was an all inclusive, fun packed weekend. Friday, also known as Good Friday, but as April declared it her nationally recognized celebration of her birthday which got her the day off from work (has nothing to do with Jesus Christ, right...NOT). We went to the Valley and SHOPPED forever and ate some goood fooood.

SEE:

Then, after stuffing our faces with food, I had another fitting for my wedding dress.  I felt like a fat ball of cake stuffed in my dress.  But it will turn out good. 

SATURDAY was the start of General Confrence.  I love General Confrence.  I love to hear the Prophet and Jeffery R. Holland.  But most of all I love the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.  

I have yet to see them in real life. The day that I do will be remarkable. I will cry such happy tears.

TODAY was/is Easter.  My awesome sister Emily and I call it Feaster.  For the first time, I actually feasted.  Breakfast was eggs and sausage, lunch was a BBQ with the Shepherd's. and dinner was a ham dinner with my family.  MMMM....after all of this, we decided to take a picture:

Our little family's first Easter:)
