well, i've been having a few rough days. the toilet and my face have gotten quite acquainted! yuck! i feel lots better today. :)
so mick has been a busy worker. he has an 11 o'clock meeting then comes home for a few minutes and then goes to work until about 10:30pm. i knew this would happen. i was prepared mentally. i assumed i would get a job right away and would keep myself busy as well. but...i haven't been hired anywhere and i've been struggling to keep myself busy. i've been getting more and more depressed each day so.......mick and i went and got a puppy. he is soooooooooo cute! he's so sweet. doesn't park. LOVES to cuddle. he is a 4 month old Papillon. today he's kept me pretty busy. we go outside every hour because he isn't quite house trained yet. we made a trip to petco. he takes a nap with me when its time. he plays with me. he is keeping me realllly happy! i'm very grateful for this little guy. i'm so excited to have a part of our family now.
this weekend mick and i want to go camping. i hope we'll still be able to. we want to go just friday night and come back sometime saturday. i think it would be so much fun. i can't believe it's almost the 4th of july! this year is going by uber fast. it's half way over! pretty soon it will be 2011 and then my birthday. i can't wait for my birthday. i have a feeling i'll be getting a pretty awesome birhtday present. ;)

best friends and french bread
who would have ever thought that this little thing would become my best friend?!
i just got lost for the past two hours somewhere...i don't even know! sheesh. all i wanted was a loaf of french bread and some vitamins from walmart. well, i sure does feel good to be home. the weather is AMAZING out though. i wish there was a park nearby. i would sit out on a blanket and read a book.*sigh* that sure does sound wonderful.

what a busy busy weekend!
mick and i drove down to utah for our open house thursday. i got sick on our way down. it wasn't a fun experience.
the open house was on friday. it turned out soooo great. i met a lot of people! haha. mick and i both had a great time!
we were able to hang out with mick's buddies all day saturday. we went out to lunch. i was feeling super sick but it passed, thank heavens! we went golfing. i was terrible to i just watched and drove the cart. then we went out for some frosties and fries. then we watched a movie. then at about 11pm we went an adventure. hehe.
snorkeling for golfballs.
we retrieved exactly 230 golfballs from the pond at the golf course! it was quite the adventure. all i could think was "how old are we again?". sneaking into a golf course in the middle of the night to go swimming in the pond isn't really what 22-24 year olds do. lol. we enjoyed ourselves though.
mick and i spent sunday with his parents. it was soooo nice to just relax!
we left bright and early monday morning. mick drove for about 2 hours and then had me drive. i drove for about 4 hours and then we switched. he drove for about an hour and a half or so and then i drove the rest of the way. it is a 13 hour drive. lol. i couldn't believe he let me drive so much! he usually only lets me drive 2-4 hours. i had a great time! mick slept most of the way so i had full reign over the music. i rocked out to jack johnson, linken park, phantom of the opera, justin timberlake, and a few other random bands/artists.
we decided to go visit my family on the way. it was so good being able to just sit at the table with my mother and sisters and gab about a million things! my dad and mick sat in the front room and talked about other things.
when we left mick decided to drive to salem. i wanted to take a nap because i was sooooo tired but mick decided he was hyper and kept waking me up. haha. i think it was because he was so excited to be back to our own home.
we unpacked the car and put stuff away. we have dishes. we have cooking utensils. we have pots and pans. we have towels. it really does feel like home now!
today has been a long and interesting day. i really hate being by myself all day. i did go buy a few more things we needed and some groceries. but that only took an hour. i've been looking for a job but haven't had any luck.
i've had a lot on my mind today. i'm a tiny bit stressed. but i'm looking forward to the next step mick and i will be taking. whatever it may be.
i've finally picked a few words to describe my wedding day.

pure happiness.
simple. sweet. and so true. if you've ever felt what true pure happiness feels like you'll know what i'm talking about. you cannot describe what it means exactly. you just have to experience and know. i'm so grateful for the happiness i've felt by finally letting go of my fear of being hurt by yet another boy. mick was soooo persistent and i'm so grateful for that. i can't imagine life with out him.
mick is my happiness.

no room
we've been married for a whole week now! where has time gone? seriously! i love being married! i love having our own place. i'm being tortured because i can't decorate. we're only here temporarily. and we should spend our money's on things we need. like some more dishes. or a toaster. or a microwave.
our wedding day was long...but WAY awesome! my day started at 7am when i woke up from the strangest dream. i just couldn't sleep. i got up and made the rest of the flowers. did some last minute wedding stuff. then i decided to get ready. that didn't take very long. on the way to the temple i realized i didn't shave my legs, i didn't fix my eyebrows, i didn't put deodorant on, and i forgot to brush my teeth. seriously? i never forget to brush my teeth.
we got to the temple. we "checked" in. they took me and my mom to the brides room. mick went somewhere else. they got me all dressed in my temple clothes and then took me to meet mick. we sat in the celestial room together. it was amazing. i wish i could describe what it was like. we met with the sealer. he explained a few things then took us to the sealing room. the moment we entered and saw our families and closest friends the tears began to flow. the temple part itself went by pretty fast. again i wish i could describe what is was like. words really cannot describe it.
we went our seperate ways again. i got to finally wear my wedding dress and show it off to mick! it was pretty awesome. my dress was soooo heavy though. we did a lot of photos! ashley and her husband dave (who served his mission in South Dakota) were there to photograph everything! i can't wait to see all the photos!
mick and i stopped at little ceasars for a 5 dollar pizza. then headed to the reception. we had the ring ceremony with close friends and family members. it went reallllly well! i was so impressed with Bishop Bowman's presentation/talk.
we began the reception with some dancing, cake cutting and what not. it was soooooooooo much fun. yes i did fall while trying to dance. embarrassing. hahahaha!
i can't wait to post some pictures!
i'm going to end now. i'll post more later. until then...
xoxo
