Gone again ...

oh gosh.. is it really that time again? I thought we might breeze by this time.. it is almost September and for some reason I almost forgot.. its Fire Season.

Sean is gone on the Morris fire. We do get to talk on the phone.. he has been working night shifts from about 6pm to 11am since he left (Monday).

On a separte note... in all honesty.. I love being married to a man who loves his work and take pride is what he does. I give God ALL the glory, He has blessed me so much.

We would like to play

Soo.. that present that I got for Sean was.. drum roll please....


we got a Wii.. hehe.. I still laugh at that sentence.
I am pretty sure he liked it.... I went to bed at 9pm on Monday.. and he played on the wii until 1am... on a work night ;)
I love the little kid in him.. He makes me happy.

Coming Home Present...

Yay!! Hubster is coming home today.. hopefully! He has been gone for almost two weeks now and I'm ready to see his face again!! Yippeee! I got him a present for working so hard out there.. I am super excited to give it to him and see his face.. which I actually don't know will look like.. he is so hard to buy presents for. He might actually love it or he might actually take it back for something else.. haha.. who knows?! I will post later what it was and if he wanted it :)
Yayy!! Hes coming home!!!!

ALWAYS..

I was cruising through Target yesterday and picked up a wall decal.. I'm not sure what it will look like when its on the wall in our bedroom and i doubt there is a way to try it out and then return it if I/we don't like it.. soo what do you guys think?

It is not the exact picture.. but the wording is the same but font choice is a little bit different.. its actually something that Sean and I agreed to before we were married and thus far have stayed true to our promise.. when he's not playing in Alaska :)

Dear Sean,

I miss you. I pray you are doing well and staying safe and healthy in Alaska. I know that this is a great apportunity for you and will be a fantastic experience--can't wait to hear about it! I know that you have only been gone for a few days.. but I already miss you and can't wait for you to come home. Last night my sisters came over for a movie (Twilight) and dinner (Pick up Stix). I had way too many noodles left over and you weren't there to finish them off for me :( I am doing well though.. I have plans to hangout with friends this week and I'm even going up to Santa Barbara to visit Ana with Crissy! Should be fun.

Love you and miss you tons!

The Wedding Post :) Just thoughts

Yay! We did it! So excited! Can't possibly put up enough exclamation points to make my point!!

Well.. the wedding was.. amazing.. we couldn't have asked for anything better. The ceremony was my favorite part. We are so blessed to be friends with the pastor who married us (and his fabulous wife of course). We loved the length of the ceremony, the content, and just being there.. it went by so fast.. I loved ever second of it, and even though I was excited, I was able to concentrate on the words and focus myself (which I was really thinking I wouldn't be able to).

The vows were great (if I do say so myself ), and we KEEP hearing how the ceremony was amazing and how much everyone appreciated it! Yay!!

The reception went by in the flash.. seriously.. I even stood in the corner all by myself and 'took it all in' and it went by before I knew it.

Our first dance was fantastic.. we were in our own little world.. and we both thought it would be awkward.. our first dance song was 1,2,3,4 by the Plain White T's.. if you haven't heard it yet, look it up on uptube and watch the music video.. we LOVE IT!! duhh :)

I will post pics when I get the chance... I have no idea when we will have the digital proofs.. but there are plenty on facebook that our friends have posted.. so for now.. here is one that my friend captured for us :)

Meatball Calzone

Sean and I have youth group on Wednesday nights. I work until 5pm, get home @ 5:30 and have to be at church by 7pm.

Last night I didn't know what was going to work for dinner (we are on our budget now so we promised to limit our dinner-out nights).

We came up with this little number: Meatball calzone

Ingredients:
ready to use pizza dough (we used pillsbury--it was one sale!)
marinara sauce
shredded motzerella cheese
turkey meatballs
**all of these are things we usually have in stock**

Directions:
1. quarter meatballs
2. spread outdough on a baking stone (I <3 pampered chef)
3. cover entire surface with marinara sauce
4. cover half with meatballs
5. cover same half with cheese
6. fold in half
7. bake at 425 for 11 minutes
8. enjoy
9. get a second slice of this delicious goodness before the big eater of the family finishes it off!

We are so excited because this is easy to make, and bakes fast.

Next time we are going to add spinach, and I already have plans for a different one bell pepers and chicken :) yumm

Yay! Happy Eating!

Slowly Loosing my mind..24 days and counting!!

I was chatting online with a friend today and and he asked me who life was going to which I said, "BUSY" and I told him that I was slowly loosing my mind, to which he responded, "slowly???"

Sean also mentioned that I have been a 'bit' fiesty latest. I think getting married in 24 days is kinda getting to me, and all the details that I have been putting off can't be put off anymore.

A small sample of my TODO list:
  • Buy Wedding Reception Insurace
  • Buy Groomsmen gifts
  • Finalize reception music selections
  • Design and print ceremony programs
  • Buy shoes (for me)
  • Buy earrings (for me) didn't think I was going to be so picky!!
  • Buy 'stuff' to wear for the wedding night :/ gosh.. don't know if it really matters.. haha
  • Finalize Vows (gosh this is hard for us..
  • Finalize passage for scripture reading
  • Burn ceremony music for church (this is due today and won't be done!)
  • Seating chart (behhh)

Those are a couple of the larger TODO items.. but I want to know about all those small ones that are not on my list but I know should be..

Sean keeps asking me what he can do to help, and I wish I had an answer for him! I don't really know what else there is to do... I am sure that there is stuff that we aren't thinking of but I don't know what it is. Sean keeps telling me, "Well I don't know what to do, I've never planned a wedding before"--and what.. he thinks that I have?? Poor Sean, he is taking my stress like a champ and listening to me plan and talk to him about things.. and last night he even "staying up" with me while I designed and submitted our guest book (which I really hope turns out okay).

If anyone has any TODO items that they think might have fallen through the cracks PLEASE let me know!

Free Breakfast = long lines = food at Pick up Stix

Rachel, Nathan, Naomi and I decided to go to Denny's today after seeing the super bowl commercial that advertised a free grand slam.

We took one look at the parking lot and jetted over to Pickup Stix.

Rachel told us later that one of her friends had waiting two hours to receive her complimentary dish.

Really?? Its four dollars, my time is most definitely worth more than two dollars an hour.. come on people.

In the end, our conversation was just as wonderful, our spirits were just as high, and even with our wallets a little lighter, I think we would all agree; WORTH IT!
