Miss First Wedding Gift

Last Friday, I came home from work and had a giant Bed Bath and Beyond box on my bed. What a surprise! I was so excited. I wanted to open it right away, but, I had to wait for Nephi to come over.

Nephi and I had a great time registering at Bed Bath and Beyond. I made an appointment (I know, who does this? I do. We tried 2 other times to register there but it was crazy busy. So, I made an appointment and I am so glad I did. Remember they are in the service industry. aka: serve-US.) We met with the associate, a girl named Jess, and she was GREAT help! I have to admit, at first, I was a litte worried because she was staying with us and kept the gun in her hand. (Uh, hello, that gun is the only reason why Nephi and I wanted to register in the store instead of online!) After a few minutes, I asked her if she was going to stay with us the whole time and she said yes but said she could leave if we wanted her to. I didn't want to say yes, of course, and I am SO glad I didn't! She was amazing. She gave us the greatest tips, advice, product information, and laughs.

Thank YOU, Jess! 

We registered for 160 items, which isn't a lot. But, I feel like if we get everything on our list, and then a few gift cards, we will be so unbelievably happy.

Okay, here is what we got for our first gift...

(I look kind of pregnant here. Don't worry, it was just my shirt!)

(Yeah, I know, I need to dye my hair. Badly.)

Yay for a Crockpot! I am so excited!

Miss Via Las Vegas!

For our honeymoon we are staying one night in phoenix and 2 nights in Vegas!

Any fun cheap/free/appropriate for Nephi's eyes ideas of what we can do in Vegas!?

This is where we will be staying...

Our room...

Larger Room, Free High-Speed Internet, Refrigerator, HBO, Pillow top Mattress, and Interior Corridor.

 

...and yep, we got it for $35/night using a Goupon. (yay for email spam)




Can't wait to get AWAY. Seriously.

Miss Where is the sun?

There were days when I served as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that I felt:

discouraged

hated

angry

depressed

hopeless

belittled

...

On those days, in a certain city I served in, I knew that I could always see this certain lady, and afterwards feel,

"This is so worth it."

Meet, Rosa.

Miss Invitations

I was slightly hesitant to post this 'invitation' blog because I didn't want to ruin the surprise you will all be getting in the mail...however, most of you will be getting yours in a few days so here is a sneak peek!

Before I show you the pics, I should tell you this horror story...

I ordered my prints from...wait? Should I expose the company that screwed me over? Is it ethical? Absolutley I will expose them! Moving on..I ordered them from overnightprints.com. I thought it would be fairly legit and I got a great deal. I order 1000 matte oversized postcards with rounded edges and 1000 white envelopes. I even paid $20 extra for quick shipping so I could get it on Friday and work on them over the weekend. Friday comes along and...no invites! I called overnightprints.com on Monday morning pretty upset but they refunded my shipping and said that it is arriving that day. I was fine with that and just excited to get them out.

that lasted 2 seconds...

Monday after work, Nephi and I went to my apt. to find a big & heavy white box full of...only invitations. NO envelopes. I couldn't have killed a grown man. I was so mad! Good thing Nephi knows me so well. He took me out to dinner and then we went shopping and he bought me this super cute outfit! (Cream skirt with a gold silk top.) Such a cute boy. Anyway--needless to say, I freaked, was put on hold for 25 min, yelled a little, cried a little and went to Artco in Rexburg and bought big cream cute envelopes.

Here are some pics!

Our night started off like this. Our favorite bread bowls from a little deli place here in Rexburg.

(Getting them to-go turned out to be a complete mess for my cheddar and broccoli soup.)



I ordered 1000 invites because we had over 500 invites and the dang company wouldn't let me order 700! Oh well. Everyone is getting one. :)




Here is the sealing invite! I just took the design that my friend Bridgette designed and designed this one on my own! I printed it up on card stock and then rounded the corners myself.

COMPLETED! Only took us 3-4 hours to stuff 600 envelopes.

All ready to go to the post office!

**Look for them in the mail**

Miss Interior Designer WANTED

This morning I got a text from my mom with these two pictures...

My grandpa is going to reupholster the chair!

Now...what color!? 

I have NO idea how I want to decorate my living room.

Any Ideas? 

Miss Challenge

I have to admitt. I love a challenge. And I love being challenging. (I know, it's really annoying.)

Two Examples:

Nephi and I did those rowing machines at the gym last night and we got pretty competative. We played this fish game that they have on the LCD screen and it was SO fun! About half way through, Nephi started complaining about his butt hurting but I kept pushing him. I complained about my hands at the end but didn't look at the till after...Yep. Blisters. I haven't gotten blisters since high school playing softball.

Another challenge that I am undertaking is my Spring 2011 semester at BYU-Idaho. I only have 33 credits left!

Here is my schedule:

Along with these 16 credits, I will be:

• Newly wedded to this cute boy.
• Working part time as a Project Manager over high level institutional print items at school.
• Director of Talent Activities on campus. (I'll blog more about this later)

Wish. Me. Good. Luck.
