So I have a paper due on Tuesday and lots of studying to be done before finals, but naturally I am procrastinating yet again. It is NOT natural however for me to be blogging..seeing as this is my first post, but I thought I should give it a try since all my other procrastinating resources have been exhausted. Let's just say I'm getting my "creative juices" flowing so when I do write my paper, it'll be that much better!
Well my life has been crazy, but at the same time I feel like I haven't done much. I'm only taking 13 credits, the least I've taken since I've been at college, but I feel like I'm lot more busy. School, Alpha Chi, and John pretty much take up all my time and I try to fit in work and family. But I wouldn't trade it for anything. I'm pretty happy how things are going in my little bubble of life.
I finally have a wedding date-July 21st and can't wait. Planning is non-existent so if you have any ideas it would be greatly appreciated! Tarrah texts me pictures she finds and I love it! Pretty sure Kera's grades have suffered because of stalking weddings for ideas for me. On the bright side, I have a dress and bridesmaid dresses, so the girls are covered! I found shoes this weekend while we were in Utah (and yes I know that I live in Utah, but I don't accept that reality and all my life "going to Utah" meant shopping in Salt Lake) I found some at Nordstrom.
But I also found pumps that I have wanted for months!! I can't decide if I want those too knowing my feet will hurt and change into the flats or just stick with the flats so that hemming my dress will be easier...but look at how cute and so me they are!
Right?! SO CUTE!!! I love them both, but I don't want to look like a fool walking in them because everything is outside and on grass which makes walking in heels super difficult.
Caitie took our engagements and I can't wait to see them! Cait is seriously the best photographer and I'm obsessed with her photos and her! It was so great seeing her and I really miss her in my life!
Colter's wedding was great! It was so nice to get away from the stress of Logan to be with my family. Kera and I stopped at Jeannie's house on the way to Salt Lake to see the Clark's. I love the craziness of my family. The dynamics just kill me! I won't lie, mainly I just wanted to see my nephews and niece. I love them more than anything and love being with them. Owen and Tucker were jumping on the tramp when I got there. I ran out to see them and as I got closer, Tucker yelled out, "Are you Torie?" And when I got on the tramp he had very specific instructions on how I had to jump. Those two are probably the funniest boys I have ever met. By the time I wimped out from the cold, it was hailing and they were eating it off the tramp. We went and saw the piglets with my dad and Taylor. Last time John and I visited, they had pigs and we tried to ride them-oh the things the Clark's think of! When we got back to the house we started to get ready for the dinner and the madness began. I just love the stress of my family. Everyone is trying to get ready, my dad is telling us we have to go, Julie is cutting Carson and Colter's hair, the boys don't want to change, piling everyone in cars-love it all! The dinner was at a Chinese restaurant in Bountiful and it was crammed! We had so many people there and it was hectic! After dinner I went to the hotel with Talon where we made hot chocolate what seemed like every time we passed the coffee counter and watched Say Yes to the Dress. We ate breakfast the next morning with Grandma and Grandpa Raybould and Kathy and Todd. I love breakfast at hotels. It is one of my favorite things. The parents got ready and left and Talon and I were left to get ready and meet them at the temple. Of course my hair hated me since it knew there would be pictures and by the time we got to the temple they were already out...oops! After pictures, Grandma and Grandpa Raybould and Dusty and Hailey met us at In and Out. LOVED IT!! Then we went back to the hotel and slept then got ready again for the reception. More pictures then I went to Jared's lacrosse game with my dad and the kids. Owen and I froze but it was fun. Back at the reception we ate and they danced. I went to Becky's house with Julie, Carson, Megan, and Kennedie to play cards and fill Easter baskets. My mom picked me up to take me back to the hotel. More hot chocolate and finally sleep! It felt like we didn't do much but we were all exhausted! The next day we went shopping and ate at The Cheesecake Factory. I finally got home at seven and was so happy to have today to recoup!
Well that should do it for my first post and hopefully there will be more to come!
