Playing Bride

The husband (I have a husband now...) is making brunch (Danish Aebleskiver) , I have no stress, and I'm blogging on my honeymoon (Cuz we have no agenda). It's a goooooood life. :-)

Thank you again to Brittany. She is truly talented and great to work with. Get your pictures taken by her!!!

Happy.

Three Days. I'm ready. Minor things to finish, but it could all happen tomorrow and I'd feel good. I do still want some cute boots for my honeymoon...

For those of you whose phone calls and emails I haven't returned, I apologize. I love you all. I'm just flaky right now.

Wendy- I'm still trying to figure out where my hamster came from. Would you believe that I have NO idea? Oh brother...

House: Still working on details and praying it's all going to happen as planned. Thankful that Huntsman signed a bill for 1600 grants for people buying new constructions.

I want to see Australia. The movie. Guess I'll have to wait for a few weeks... my mom's Netflix copy is coming Monday.

I can't wait to see my family and friends on Wednesday. People make me happy. Reunions make me the happiest. That's what I am most excited about (besides the getting married part-duh) - seeing people I haven't seen in a long time. It's good stuff. :-)

Yep. Wedding. Fun.

Sunday Sunshine... On Friday

It's been more than a month since I was able to do a little SUNDAY SUNSHINE post. Lame. So here's one... one a Friday.

1. My wedding is in 12 days!!! WOW! That's crazy. And for those of you who doubted my ability to have everything done two weeks in advance- I laugh. It's done. OK- fine, little things aren't done- BUT I feel good and I'm ready to go! Everything is paid for- I have great friends helping me with everything... I am just gonna dress up pretty and be there for it all. Yay wedding! And the Boy I'm marrying is pretty darn ready too.

2. Fun news: We're working on buying a house. Things are going well. We might be able to close on April 1. YIPPEE!!! It makes me feel grown up... that's weird.

3. I've been able to spend LOTS of time with my little niece. She is hilarious and I am so happy that she knows me now and really has fun being with me. Thanks, Kensie, for being so entertaining!

4. Bridal showers are amazing! I have LOVED seeing so many old friends and getting to know Chuck's family better. I have two more this weekend and I really can't wait!!! Yay for fun, happy memory making days!

5. There's this sweet girl named Megan Heaps who is helping me out SO much with the "me" part of my wedding. I am SO grateful for her generousity and kindess in helping me look pretty!!!

6. My mom is in a new apartment, and although I am SO tired of moving her from place to place, she's in a lovely place in Draper now. My brother in law, sister, and Chuck were a great help. THANK YOU. I cannot do these things without all of you!

7. I'm grateful for down time. I've been busy busy getting all the wedding things solidified, but gosh, I have to admit that besides not having a paycheck, being unemployed is NOT a terrible thing. My poor fiance is working like crazy and I... well, don't right now. I'll have my fair share of it soon enough, but I am so happy that I was able to finanacially plan, in advance, for this month and a half of not working. It's been a great blessing in my life!

8. I LOVE that we've gotten such a great response to our wedding invites. For those of you who don't know, Chuck designed them. He did a great job and I love seeing how happy he is with the feedback.

9. I'm thankful that I have 24 Hour Fitness to go to again. Last night I went at midnight. It's good for me and clears my mind.

10. Adam Lambert: Love his singing. Thank you, American Idol, for making my Tuesdays and Wednesdays happy.

11. Kallie Ann: My cute cousin Kallie has been my shopping sidekick the past few weeks. Love her.

12. Orlando Roomies: I miss them. I miss seeing each of you every day and watching trash TV on Monday nights. I miss the quirks and the songs and the pool. Thanks for being a part of my REALLY happy Orlando memories.

13. I still have this insane drive to audition for some big shows. I'm grateful for a soon-to-be hubby who supports my ambitions and dreams. I'm thankful to know that he wants me to do big things and he loves that I have big dreams like him. But honestly, right now I am pretty content setting up house and playing married. Yup.

14. My brother-in-law Brett has been a HUGE help to me and to Chuck in the last few weeks. Yay Brett.

15. I eat oatmeal for breakfast every morning. A banana and oatmeal. I love it. It brings serious joy into my life.

16. The sun makes me happy. I have chosen a great time to come back to Utah. It's FREEZING here, but I'm grateful that it's only snowed a couple times since I've been back. AND the snow gos away within a couple days. That's MY kind of winter!

17. I am thankful for people who pray for the good weather that'll be happening on March 25. :-) :-)

18. I love the temple and I'm excited to get there a couple times in the next week and a half. I haven't taken the chance to go since I was in Orlando. It's time.

19. Peanut butter tastes good. Biff's birthday was last night and we had some yummy yummy cake and ice cream. I LOVE SUGAR!!!!

20. I also love pizza. It's divine. YUMMY.

And now I'll get on with my day... :-)

So Much Catching Up...

My computer is still dead. I moved my mom into a new apartment and we didn't have internet for a week. But I am pleased to announce that I at least have access to THE BLOG once again. There's lots of catching up to do. And I have to admit that I've been avoiding some of these posts for a long time. I still get a bit too wrapped up in the emotion of it all when I look through these pictures.

I left the B and B stage a month ago today. That was a horrendously tough week. The sobbing began exactly one week before my final show...

Getting ready on the last day

There are so many amazing pictures that I really wish I could post here, but my friend Belle could get in some serious trouble for doing so. So there it is. Everything is still very fresh, and while I was excited and ready to move on, leaving the B and B stage and Orlando itself was terribly painful. BUT, I leave with wonderful memories and friends I'll have forever. Life is good.

Why?

Why, oh why, do I find the shoes I CAN NOT have? Urgh. UK shoes from a year ago. Bah.
