M: Marriage

Some things I have learned these past few weeks:

I talk in my sleep and sleep sideways, he grinds his teeth and hits me when he twitches

I wash all my clothes on cold, he actually follows the tag's instructions

He fills the whole sink up with soapy water to do the dishes and I just use the soapy scrubber

The first hour Bart is awake in the morning is quiet time

I say there can never be too many cereal bowls, he says that just means I won't feel the need to wash

anything

I don't eat everything on my plate, he does.

No matter how much milk I get poured, I never finish my glass

If he wakes up to pee, I wake up to pee

I get hot at the same time every night and feel the need to kick off all the blankets, including the ones he is using...he then freezes

I wipe the crumbs on the floor to sweep up, he wipes them in his hand and throws the crumbs away

He likes background noise, I don't

Douche at the car wash

I have not been this annoyed in a long time.

So I woke up this morning and my car looked like it had gone swimming in a mud hole (Not why I was upset) so I took it to get a quick wash because I knew it was going to rain anyway but I wanted the mud off.

So I pull into this car wash noticing there was only one guy in line. I assumed there was someone in the bay because this guy was scrubbing his car with one of those handle brushes that get the bugs off your front bumper- ya know what I am talking about? So anyway, I pull up and low and behold there is no one in the bay getting their car washed.

This guy is first in line.

There is now another car behind me and this DB was still scrubbing away at his car. Are you freaking kidding me?? I was so pissed. It's one thing to do a pre-wash if you are the only one, but once you notice there is even one car behind you, GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY. I could have gone through the wash 2 times this guy took so long. He had to scrub every tire and every window. I was going to just cut him in line because my car is small enough but I had the thought too far in ( because I assumed he would hurry up slash stop once he saw me behind him) but he didn't. His car wasn't even that dirty.

He then got the paper towels out and started rubbing a few places.

At this point I was screaming in my car. Then pretty boy had a gross towel in his hands and couldn't find a trash can. He looked like he would die if he had to hold that wet thing any longer. I watched him contemplate his options and finally he opened his car door and put it on the floor to throw away later I assumed.

This ass finally decided to pull ahead at start the wash but wait, he took another 5 minutes finding his token. I was so pissed. Seriously, who does that? Are you really that self centered you assume no one has anything better to do than wash your car for 15 minutes while we wait? I couldn't believe it.

FINALLY it was my turn and as I was pulling out of the bay when I was finished (it took me maybe 5 minutes to go through the wash) I see this douche in a self serve bay getting ready to clean his car again! Oh my hell I can't explain to you how angry I was. First of all, he was using the water sprayer to clean out the bay before he pulled his car in (ya know, because it gets really dirty having all of that SOAP in there). So basically, I was waiting 15 minutes for this guy to go through a pre-wash?!??

I hope someone drives by him splashing him and his precious car with dirty water as he is getting into a car accident that he may or may not survive.

L: Luck and Love

Why hello cyber world, long time no see! I know, I have missed you too. It has been 20 days since I have written anything on here and for that I am sorry, I know how entertaining I am :)

I am currently sitting in a basement during a beautiful day, eating taffy and turning my brain to nothing. However, I am still in a very good mood.

I cut this man's hair on Monday who just happened to be the president of Cache Valley Radio Group. He said I should stop by and see if I could get an internship so that is what I did. I went by today and talked with another person there and BAM, I am officially an intern.

Now, this may or may not be cool to some of you, but I am still pretty stoked about it. I will be writing articles for Cachevalleydaily.com as well as learning some things about radio like how to put sound bits together and that sort of thing. I have no idea what to expect but I am still excited. I feel pretty confident in my ability to write a news article, so that part will be fun because I get to have more "real world" experience in something that I already know how to do. The actual broadcasting side of things is a little intimidating but thrilling nonetheless. He said there will definitely be opportunities for me to learn about the stuff I am interested in so I look forward to that. Tuesday morning is their news meeting so I will have a better idea of what I am doing then! I have been wanting to do this for a while so I am very happy that it is finally happening, I just hope I don't get slapped in the face by reality too hard.


So I don't know if this is a thing or not but....I still don't feel like I am married. I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't this! It's not necessarily a bad thing, just strange. I am going to assume that as soon as Bart and I are able to move into our place this weekend things will start to feel a little more real and permanent! Either way, our wedding, reception and honeymoon were all very fun. It was great to see people I haven't been able to see in such a long time. It is so nice to have everything behind us now, there is not longer that nagging in the back of my brain wedding related.

I don't have any of my pictures yet, but there is this one someone took of us. For some reason it is one of my favorites. At the very end of the reception we finally were able to eat a cupcake. 

K: -insert K word here-

So who knew K would be such a hard letter to find something to talk about? Not me! So I am not going to count this post as K...unless along the way I find a K word that would work. 

ANYWAY

I feel like I am packing my life away right now. I am going home tomorrow night and won't be coming back up here until after our honeymoon (yes, HONEYMOON. yay.) So I have lots of things to bring. Luckily we have the whole car to ourselves so I can bring as much crap as I want. I am so excited to be able to spend 7 whole days uninterrupted with Bart! I feel like I never see him, it will be a great way to start off the summer.

So yes, about this honeymoon thing...I am pretty pumped about it. Mostly because that means I am already married and this whole shebang is over! It has been a looooong 10 months and I am ready for it to be over. I still can't believe that it has already been that long though..some days I think it came fast and other days not so much.

We went and saw Thor tonight, (it was okay...) and the whole time I was just thinking about what forever will be like. (If you have seen the movie I think you kind of would know what I am talking about) I mean come on, that is a long time...not even time can really measure what it is. It kind of blows my mind, but I am excited that I get to have Bart with me through all of it. I don't really like to think about dying or heaven or eternity, I never really have...and this getting married thing is making me think about it a lot. (in a good way of course). Oh well, I guess that is just something I will have to get over.

I was looking through pictures the other day and it brought back a ton of memories. I never would have thought 5 years ago that I would be where I am today. I guess that is just how life works. I can't even really remember any of the bad stuff and bad memories that I use to have. I just look at it fondly, glad that I never have to be in that situation again. My baby sister is graduating from high school next month and it is so weird because I swear I just graduated, which obvioulsy I didn't, and in a year when I graduate from college I will be shocked just as much. Time really does fly. I wish there was a better expression to use other than that, but it's true.

I can't freaking believe that I still haven't used a K word yet! Seriously, try to think of K words, if you are like me I could only think of words that started with a C not a K.

I can't really remember what else I was going to say tonight. Probably because I had to take a Simply Sleep since I am still terrified of this basement and the darkness...don't judge me.

J: Joy

"Joy is the feeling of grinning inside.”

“Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.”

“Joy is not in things; it is in us”

“The deep joy we take in the company of people with whom we have just recently fallen in love is undisguisable.”

"When you wish someone joy, you wish them peace, love, prosperity, happiness... all the good things.”

"Joy is but the sign that creative emotion is fulfilling its purpose.”

“Joy comes from using your potential.”

I: Interesting

It is interesting how things work out. I have been planning on doing something all year, and then when the time comes to make it happen, I don't want it anymore. I realize I have other priorities, and I need to get them in order. I have my own life goals and things I want to accomplish and do well at, and it is time to put myself first.

Some may see this as a downgrade, or a failure on my end. I can assure everyone it's not. I am more excited and at peace about next year than I have been for a long time. I can't think of anything I would change about what I will be doing next year.

Oh, and 13 days until I get married....cool.
