Too much exposition

Ok Jenna.
And everyone else.
NO NEED TO WORRY.
My Facebook status' can be a little ominous sometimes, I know.
And I can also be over-dramatic.
Or just impatient I suppose, in this case.
In brief, to at least satisfy some people's craving for info, I got some bad news yesterday.
Kind of.
It's bad in a sense that something could turn out very badly.
Or everything could be ok.
And since it involves something extremely important to me, I just can't feel very optimistic about the whole situation.
But you know, i've got to just wait it out.
See what happens.
All that jazz.
In the meantime, i'm fasting until I get a phone call back with hopefully good news.

On a lighter note, work is going well.
I'm meeting more people, and I think my "stalker" really is just trying to be friendly I guess.
I think he for sure has some kind of mental disability since he was playing peek-a-boo with me with his hat today, so i'll just try and be nice and be friends.
Even if the staring and smiling does kind of creep me out.
My legs are starting to hurt super bad towards the ends of my shifts and i'm hoping that goes away soon.
I've just been so lazy for the past few months, my muscles have totally atrophied.
I hope I get my own register soon though.
I just feel like it must be so boring for the people i'm training with!
I learn really fast, i've already memorized most of the main codes.
I know how to do almost everything.
I hardly ever have questions or concerns.
I just to the whole thing while my "trainer" just stands behind me and loads stuff into carts.
But oh well.
I'm sure all the extra help will pay off.
I don't want to like, freeze as soon as I do actually have a register of my own.

Oh!
Also!
If any of you have a Sams Club membership and love Harry Potter!
They're selling a special anniversary edition of the first book, and even though it's just the first book, it's SO nice!
I couldn't help myself and bought one.
It's a good size, hard back, with a new picture on the cover.
The pages are like super nice.
I'm not sure what they're made out of.
It's like a nice paper/plastic combo.
Anyways, there's a color picture inside and J.K. Rowlings original drawing of Snape, and maybe i'm just a Harry Potter fanatic, but I love it!

Anyway, i'll stop trying to sell stuff to y'all.
Haha.

I'm not sure if i'll see Brad anytime before Wednesday, which pretty much REALLY sucks.
I haven't seen him since last night, and it already feels like so long!

Well, what else can I say?
I'm EXTREMELY poor.
So i'm hoping that paychecks go out this week and not next week, no matter how small mine might be.
Especially since I haven't paid tithing all year!
And, well, I obviously need to do that soon if the whole Temple Marriage thing is gonna work out.
Lol.
Besides about 200 in tithing, i've got two speeding tickets (Yes. I said TWO. Am I not the most unlucky driver ever?!?!), a car insurance payment in a little over a week, 200 for rent, and gas money since i'm almost empty!
I don't even know what i'm going to do.

Brad, maybe we SHOULD invest in that vending machine!
:D

Cause another day without you is another lifeless one

BRIGHTWOOD!!!!!!!!
Brad and I drove two and a half hours out to Twin Falls to see them last night.
We stopped by the Twin Falls Temple for a bit.
And we got some Mickey Ds.
But then the concert started.
And it was absolutely incredibly amazing.
Sure, the concert was in this little shed off of some dirt road in this podunk town...
And sure the first band that played was just not good...
And sure the whole place smelled like yucky fish...
But Brightwood was SO GOOD.
Like, I felt like I was listening to their CD.
And because it was such a small "venue," we were up close and personal!
I mean, Brad and I TALKED to Stephen!
And I shook his hand!
And he asked us what our names were!
And we stood in their midst!
And I got my CD autographed by all four of them!!
It was incredible.
Beyond incredible.
And they even played "Sit Still."
Which, well, you know, is my favorite song of all time.
I would have liked to stick around afterwards and chat with them, but it was pretty late, and both Brad and I had to wake up early, so we left.
We drove home listening to Brightwood, my head still spinning from them and all their amazingness.

P.S. We had to turn onto KIMBERLY road to get to the street the concert was on!
Sweet, right?!

Wanna be in my club?

So, technically, today was my first day of work as an associate at Sams Club.
I'm a cashier, though still in the whole "orientation/training" process.
6/12 hours a day for three days of endless paperwork and trivial quiz-type computer things.
But hey, at least i'm getting paid training!
Anyways, hopefully I will start ASAP.
I spent my last two dollars today.
On a very delicious chocolate milkshake in the Sam's Club cafe, by the way.
I would recommend them.
Anyways, I had 22 dollars this morning, spent 20 on gas (which I paid 2.99 for but of course was down to 2.97 by the time I was driving home) and then the two bucks as my pseudo-lunch since I hadn't eaten anything at all.
Anyways, I get free membership to Sams Club, which I included Brad on, and I get 10% of all produce, which is good because I need to eat more fruits and veggies anyways.
All in all, I think I will like this job.
Most of the people are pretty nice, the food in the cafe is yummy, and I love shopping at Sams/Costco type places, so a free membership will be nice.
I can also get life insurance and health insurance and all that jazz if I stay for a year, but I don't know if I will.
Once I move to Rexburg, that's be a 30 minute commute.
No fun.
Though I could always just transfer to Walmart in Rexburg.
it's a bit of a pay decrease, but you can't get much lower from 8.20 anyways.

Other than that, life is wonderful of course.
The wedding announcements are officially printed out, my mom should be getting them on Friday, and everyone should start getting them in the mail next week!

Brad is here doing his homework.
He probably should have stayed at his apartment to do it.
He always gets so distracted over here.
I guess we just can't stand being apart for very long!
Anyways, I think i'm going to watch some more Boy Meets World episodes while Brad works.

P.S. I'm seriously craving ice cream, but we have none.
And we have nothing to make shakes or smoothies or anything.
And I have no money.

I've had the weirdest and STRONGEST cravings lately!
It's kind of annoying.
I dunno.
Anyways, I am going now.
Adios!

I'm Alive

I haven't blogged in a few days.
I know.
I guess not much has really happened.

I finished designing the wedding announcements and getting MY list of addresses, so hopefully those can be in the mail soon.

I finally got around to charging up my palm pilot, so i've been playing Village Sim like crazy.

Jenna and Travis were in town this weekend.
It was nice to go out to Craigos with them, though poor Riley broke her collarbone.
:(

I spend pretty much every available moment with Brad, obviously.
39 days, man!

I tried to go to church today, so I showed up at the building at the right time and not only did I not see any singles, but the family ward that was also meeting had no idea where the singles branch met.
So I ended up sitting on a couch and reading the Joesph Smith book for a good hour and a half before finally just going home.

It hasn't been TOO cold this week, which is nice.
If it stays like this for a while, i'll be ok.

I can move into Brad and I's apartment in exactly one month!

Sams Club hasn't called me back and i'm starting to get a little worried.
I'll call tomorrow and see what's up.

I saw Barcelona on Friday and they were AMAZING.

Brightwood this Thursday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you sense my immense excitement?!

There is NOTHING to cook in this house, and nothing to even cook with!
There is one saucepan.
One spatula.
About 12 mixing bowls.
And a George Foreman.
The kitchen depresses me and I can't wait till I have one of my own!
(That I would share with Brad of course. Lol.)

I made this pasta for lunch that wasn't half bad, considering what I had to work with.
I cook up some angel hair pasta in just some boiling water and salt.
Then poured in some olive oil, some lemon juice, and this rosemary/garlic mixture that Karen had in the cupboard.
Good enough to eat, not good enough to feed to anyone but yourself.
Lol.

My car needs new windshield wipers.



Anyway, i'll stop boring you with my mindless babble.
I'll try and think of more interesting things to blog about, yeah?
Till then!
:D

Too Tired

I'M not very tired, but boy are my eyes tired!
I guess after spending the morning reading paperwork, then watching two movies with Brad, looking at his laptop screen, watching actual TV (which I never do) and now going on my lappy, my eyes have had some serious strain on them today.
Not to mention I slept in them last night, though not really on purpose.

Anyways, I won't write much.
Just that as soon as my drug test and background check go through, I will officially be working as a part-time cashier at Sam's Club.
While I would have liked to work full-time (more moolah!), it's probably better this way.
They didn't have any full-time open anyways.
And I really do like having a lot of extra time to work on wedding stuff and be able to just hang out with Brad.
So i'm sure part-time will be good.
I mostly just need this job right now to pay off that darn speeding ticket!
If it didn't exist, I would have enough money to last me till i'm married.
But oh well.

Anyways, that's about it.
I might post a couple more pictures tomorrow or something.
We'll see.
Night!

Fine!

Ok, to satisfy the impatience of my relatives, future relatives (Jenna), and my besties, here's a couple of the engagement pictures.
As suspected, I hated about 90% of them, but some of them were actually pretty cute.
I didn't want to put up a whole lot, so here's a little snack.
And obviously, Brad and I have fun photoshopping.
:D

Taggered.

Jenna tagged me.
AGAIN.

8 TV shows I love to watch

1. Boy Meets World. I've seen every episode of this show more times than I can count and I still love it with all of my heart!!
2. The Office. I'm a little ashamed of this one for two reasons. First, it's actually really dumb. And second, EVERYONE likes it. And I tend to hate conformoty. Lol. But, I love Jim and Pam. They are the reason I watch this show!
3. Smallville. Not only is the show just amazing, but Tom Welling.... oh baby.
4. Law and Order:SVU. You wouldn't think that I would enjoy watching a show about detectives looking for rapists and sexual abusers, but it's just so intense and good!
5. House. I think I mostly like this show because i'm a bit of a hypochondriac, so I get to see all these symptoms for really weird and out there diseases. And then I convince myself that I have these diseases. Lol.
6. Monk. Though I don't watch TV like, ever, I do like to watch this show when I get a chance. Monk is just freaking amazing!
7. Psyche. Absolutely hilarious. Enough said.
8. I don't watch enough TV to choose an eighth one!

8 Things that happened yesterday

1. I sat around.
2. Cleaned my room.
3. Ate a Lean Cuisine.
4. Almost froze to death.
5. Registered at Bed, Bath and Beyond with Brad.
6. Had some Pita Pit.
7. Tried to watch a movie.
8. Made out. Lol.

8 Favorite places to eat

1. Mimi's Cafe. They have the most amazing Bran Muffin my taste buds have ever encountered.
2. McDonalds. And i'm not ashamed. The Big and Tasty is my favorite hamburger, their fries are totally yummy, and McFlurries are way good.
3. Red Robin. They have this Teryaki Chicken Sandwich thing that is to DIE for. You can't go wrong with chicken, teryaki sauce, and grilled pineapple.
4. Olive Garden. Salad and breadsticks.
5. Home Town Buffet. Because seriously, you are ALWAYS bound to find something you like.
6. Golden Corral. YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY rolls!!! Seriously!
7. Carl's Jr. Not only are their burgers and sandwiches totally worth the 5 bucks you have to pay for them, but I got fat off of their chocolate shakes, with how delicious they are.
8. Del Taco. While it's not REAL real Mexican food, I have to say it's better. Everything is so good, and really cheap too, so you can eat a butt load and spend less than 5 bucks!

8 Things I am looking forward to

1. November 26th. Wedding day. :D
2. Thanksgiving in Vegas with all my close friends and family.
3. Finally living somewhere for more than a couple months AND having it be a place that I can really call my own!

1. Lots of money
2. A new car. Mine is pretty much crap.
4. A way to control the weather.
5. Romney in the White House.
6. For my little sister to seriously stop stealing my clothes. I know that sounds so lame, but she takes the things I need! Like my leggings, that I would REALLY like to be able to wear under my clothes since it's so freaking cold up here. Or my favorite scarf. I mean really, the coldest it gets down there in DHS is like, 50 degrees!
7. Gorgeous children. Though I don't really have to worry about that. :)
8. Winter clothes. I wasn't exactly planning on living in Idaho during the WINTER.
