Catching Up

Well its been a while since I've posted anything that's for sure. Seriously I don't keep up with these, and I don't think I ever will. I just tend to forget that I have a blog. Some day...............maybe some day I will keep up a blog :p.

So last time I wrote, I reported about moving to South Dakota and what not. Well the summer tourist season has come and gone. After school had kicked in, more and more families disappeared and more and more older couples trickled in. Its funny but I didn't think about this till now, but people came in as fast or as slow as they could hahaha....*ahem*....anyway moving on. Last time I wrote was the middle of the season. Kind of a sum up of what happened towards the end of the season....we hired what we would call "dirka dirkas" (Arabic speaking ppl) and that was a trip because people would be scared to come in our stores. Sturgis season had come and gone, saw things that were cool and things I really didn't care to see (e.i. leather ppl half naked). Seeing our employees leave was a big relief. No more having to worry about scheduling, no more lazy people milking the clock! And that pretty much sums it up.

The season had slowed down so more time to blog right?........hahaha.....*ahem* yes, that seized to exist. The weather seemed to cool down more which didn't make me way to happy. In the beginning of going to South Dakota, Curt had said we will be there till the first snow. When the first snow had come in, did we leave? Nope.....grrrr....me and cold weather don't get along so well. Then we had a second hit of snow which did take out power lines and we were with out power for almost 24 hrs. South Dakota was looking more and more unappealing, and yet we were still there for a couple weeks. Finally we got out of there this past Sunday and now we're here in Montana.

The driving was boring as ever and long, I hate driving 2 separate cars. Anyways almost got hit by a stupid idiot driver. Dang women who drive SUVs.....no offense to those who drive them....inches from hitting my car, I slammed my breaks in time. I was so shaken up, I couldn't even honk the horn at her. Its over now, and I don't have to see her stupid face again. But yeah the day after we got here at Curt's parent's house, we hunted for an apartment like crazy. Luckily we got one. Fairly cheap as far as rent goes in the area and really nice. Best of all.....IT HAS A KITCHEN!!! Really I'm excited. We haven't moved in quite yet, but by the end of the week we should be moved in. :D

Emerging From the Abyss

So its been a little over a month since I've gotten married and its been a crazy ride so far. From moving into one place to another especially to a place I've never been before to being a supervisor (which I've never had experience with), its been an interesting adventure so far. Moving into an apartment that has no kitchen, living in a town smaller than Rexburg, if you can imagine that, seriously I don't know how I keep my sanity. I partially think its due to Curt who keeps my sanity, for the most part. As everyone says married life is terrific. Of course there are a couple bumps, but always solved by the end of the night :D.

So me and Curt are managing a candy store, Whistle Stop Candy Shoppe, and again the candy business is somewhat booming. We have our good and bad days. Working in the candy store reminds me of working in Disney World out in Florida, seeing tourist from all over. Mainly we see people from the near by states (Nebraska, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Wyoming, Colorado...etc) the list goes on. I'm slightly surprised partially because the way the economy is going but on the other hand, why wouldn't people go here because of the economy? Its cheap because its near by so those who are saving money go here instead of flying out to hawaii or where ever, just making it a good road trip. I haven't worked with teenagers since high school, so working with them again is pretty much nightmare. It makes me reflect on how I acted in high school. Yeah so working with high schoolers....its pretty much the same as working with my brother....lazy, likes to talk about stupid stuff, infatuated with the opposite sex. For example the girls see the "most gorgeous thing on 2 legs" and both girls have boyfriends that they claim they want to marry. I just don't see how girls do that. Though I do have to say that I may have thought that way when I was sixteen....I can't remember. Whatever, I'm tired of working with high schoolers.

There's tons to write more about, but we'll see how things go in the next month. Maybe by then me and Curt will have a blog up and running... :P we can only hope. I know that for sure that the season will pretty much be done which means almost out of South Dakota...whew!

1 Week Down

So a week left till me and Curt get married. Crazy how time flies by and escapes you. It was just yesterday he just proposed, but again everyone know how time goes by so quickly. So today is the first time I'm going through the temple and I'm nervous as ever. I'm nervous about doing something wrong or saying something wrong, and everyone says keep an open mind. Everyone says the first time you go through you won't be able to understand everything and make sure that you listen....again I'm afraid of missing something. And if you know me, I can't hear very well and I tend to forget things. I guess that's why they say you need to attend the temple more often, and that is especially the case for me :P.

Again the wedding is a week away, and tons, well I'd say about 90% of the people I talk with ask, are you nervous? And when they say that I return with, what about? Like about the wedding?Being married? What? For the most part no I'm not nervous. I'm not saying that my marriage will be perfect, I'm sure far from it, but I have faith in Curt and myself that we'll work hard through the bad times and support each other. I remember during my bridal shower they were talking about how getting mad over toothpaste, like how you squeeze the bottle. And I think really you can get mad over how the toothpaste is squeezed? But I guess it the little things that can annoy you and such, but I think marriage is give and take, sacrifice. As far as the wedding goes, I am nervous that things will go smoothly. I came up with the color scheme, design and everything, again I just hope things go through smoothly. I'm afraid of something happening wrong with the wedding really. I just need to have patience with everyone that I'm working with, and I think I've been pretty good about my wedding. Like not turning into a bridezilla, thank heavens. Now I'm counting down, 7 days left...:D

Planning a Wedding

So its been a long time since I've written in my blog. Its probably because life is coming fast at me, and really I can't keep up with these :p. So I got engaged at the beginning of this year right after Makamae's wedding. Everyone asks how Curtis proposed and it was sweet and simple. After Makamae's luncheon, Curt and I were going to go swing dancing and go spend some time together. Swing dancing was at Noah's, a reception hall for those who don't Utah that well, and well it had been a while since me and Curt had danced, so we waited a while before dancing. Earlier we had gotten there and they were still setting up so then we walked around a bit before the dancing started. I think with Noah's reception halls they all have ice skating rinks on them, because I noticed that they had a outdoorish type patio as the ice skating rink. I thought it'd be cool to go ice skating because I hadn't gone in forever. We then just headed off to go dancing and I'll admit that its been awhile. I get so rusty when I don't practice, but anyways we had danced for a good while and then he took my hand and led me to the patio. He had the manager of the place put on our song as he took my hand to dance. I'll say he did a pretty good job ;).

Now I have a wedding to plan. People all the time ask me if I'm stressed, and really it hasn't been too bad. I've taken care of the some of the core things, paid off most of the stuff, so I'm good. There have been a few bumps to say the least, esp with my dress (and don't get me started with that because I get worked into a lather). Overall though I'm good. Thanks to Jane (our adopted mom as us siblings call her) I wouldn't be on top of things, and I'm sure I'd be falling apart. I can say that every one is right, you want the engaged months to hurry up. It feels like its never gonna come, but I know before I'll realize, it'll be the big day. Anxious as ever I want it to come today.
