budget

So I went to San Marcos with my mom and sister to go shopping. Adam and I discussed a budget, because lets face it I need to be reigned in. So did I stick to the budget?!?!?! Pretty close, i only went over by 20% so I think that's pretty good. I tipped myself for shopping, haha.

Lets see I got two pair of shoes, five shirts, a couple of sweaters, and two pieces of jewelry... and a pair of jeans for Adam and five shirts for him!!! I made out pretty good, everything on sale and tax free weekend! We may have to take so of adam's shirts back, he's so picky :)

Still waiting on wedding pictures

hmmmm...

So, i read a lot of blogs online. Well, i should rephrase that... i read alot of reviews online. I read reviews at walmart, target, yelp.com and everything else.. but i never write reviews. Well, i decided that i am going to be better. I need to update my blog, write my reviews... like i have bought four different beddings for our bed and have returned all of them, I should share what i discovered.

Sometimes, i feel that i have to have pictures to blog, but I haven't gotten my wedding pictures yet. So i neglect it. I think i could get good at this if i just sat down and wrote... and guess what i definitely have the time to do it!

Such hard work

So I have to say that getting an apartment together, writting thank you cards, looking for a job, and taking care of my husband who acts like he is 5.... is hard work. I'm exhausted. I would rather be doing CPS work.

I think that the hardest thing is designing. I have to pick out colors and color schemes. And I have to find everything for a price that doesn't make Adam faint. Luckily, I have become a fan of discount websites. The funny thing was that I was so looking forward to going into a store and shopping and I find myself shopping online more than I did in Vernal!!! Crazy, pictures of wedding and home are to come.

Rain Rain go away

So June 11th finally came..... and it was rainy!!!! My family, Adam and I got up early in the morning to start setting up the reception space. (Hire someone) That was in Park City and I had to leave to drive to Provo to get my hair done. Of course there is construction traffic and i'm running late.... which makes the hair appointment run late, which makes me get back to Par City late. Then i have 15min to do my make-up grab my stuff and drive down to Salt Lake. Since everyone and their dog is getting married there is no parking. We are now 5 mins. late for our time to be at the temple and we are parking under the convention center. We ride up the elevator and we are on the north side of the convention center, not the South!!!! So we run around the convention center in the pouring rain and still have to run across the street to the Temple, all the while my mother is on the phone with me saying "where are you?". So by the time that we get to the temple we are ten mins. late, I can't breath cause i have been running in heels and we are almost soaking wet!!!

The ceremony goes well and I have to say that I love my dress. The other girls have mothers doing up the lace on their corsetts and I easily step into my dress and get zipped up. 2 seconds!!!! Then we go out for pictures and everyone is soaked from the rain. We do a quick group shot and I tell everyone we will do pictures at the reception. Everyone leaves and it stops raining, which was perfect because Adam and I got some great pictures at the temple.

It rained for the rest of the night, but I didn't care. I married Adam and it was the best day of my life.

A sad goodbye

So Adam and I are almost ready. We have one week left!!! Marriage license and temple recommends gotten, that's really all we need.

So I am leaving Vernal this weekend. Who would have ever thought that I would be sad leaving here. I have met so many wonderful people! I have gotten to make many friends here. I will not miss the freezing cold, the three hour car ride to the airport or the mexican music from the above apartment.

But I will miss hanging out at the CJC making inapporpriate comments. I will miss the long car rides to La Point when you really get to have a good conversation with someone. I will miss hiding from my phone in Brenda's office catching up on everyone's problems to make myself feel better. I will even miss Scott pulling me into his office make me cry and tell me that I'm not perfect!!!!

But, I get the man of my dreams!!! I am so excited to finally have the rest of my life with Adam. I don't deserve him but I will try for the rest of my life. I'm excited to learn how to cook and burn all the food so we have to eat out :) Can't Wait!

Ordering Pictures

So, I am ordering pictures like crazy. I know that it might be easier to wait til I know what my apartment looks like and make a decision later .... but that just wouldn't be me!!!!!

Luckily, I do have an apartment to move into, Thanks Adam!!! He has been so sweet and stressed through this process. It's amazing how much there is to think about instead of just wedding reception stuff. How do I get my stuff to Texas? Insurance (car and health)? Apartment? Furniture? ... I think Adam and I will be sleeping on a mattress on the ground for a couple of months :)

Meet the Tripps

So Adam and I met a year ago on the side of the road in the pouring rain. I got in an accident going to meet him and some friends to go to the Dave Matthews Band concert. We ended up leaving my car on the side of the road and going to the concert anyways.

Our first date was going to the TX Rangers v. NY Yankies game. It was so much fun and Adam and I felt so comfortable together. The kiss at the end of the night was PERFECT!!!

Our second date was him and I driving all my stuff from Dallas to Vernal ... I dropped him off at the airport in Denver. We had the best time! He didn't find me crazy and actually started to fall in love.

The rest is fate.. and hopefully well docuemented on the blog :)
