Currently....

I am studying to be a server. I start training next week and boy am I nervous! So this is what my day looks like :

thank goodness for music.

yep. So next week I'll be training every day except Saturday and Sunday. So don't expect any posts or updates. Not that I post that much anyways. I should change that. Well, back to studying!

Vegas

Oh Hey. So last week we went to Vegas, we were there for 10 days and it was AWESOME. Usually we only get to spend a weekend in vegas, and even then it is split up between both of our families, so we usually feel unsatisfied with our time spent (not because we don't enjoy it, but because we want it to be longer). But this time, we spent a whole 10 days there, we spent time with my family and with chauncey's family. It was great. The main reason we went was because Andrew (Chauncey's brother) came home from his mission (he went to Japan). But it also worked out because during the week we celebrated my Mom's birthday and my father-in-law's birthday.

 For the first couple days, we were at my parent's house. We went and saw my uncle perform in his band, the Goodfellas. They are sort of like a tribute band, and they play music from the 50s, 60s and 70s. It was really fun to see them perform. I also got carded for ordering a shirley temple. It was kind of silly but we laughed about it. We spent time with my high school buddy, Jared, who just got home from the same mission as Andrew. Monday night my mom, 2 grandmas, aunts, and great aunt went to bingo and guess what!? I won 500 dollars! It was pretty awesome. So with that money, I bought myself an iphone since my plan with my parents was ending this month. So Chauncey and I got our own plan. We feel like grownups now. The rest of the money is going towards a new car for us.

Tuesday Andrew came home. It was a pretty exciting day. The rest of the week was spent with Chauncey's family. We swam, played games, watched movies that came out in the last two years, and did a lot of other fun things. To say the least, it was a very eventful week. We were sad to leave Vegas and come back to the reality of work and school and bills. It was a nice little summer vacation. We will go back in a month for Chauncey's birthday, and I'm already excited. 

Rise

Wow. That is all I can say. Last night I watched one of the best movies I have ever seen. That is not an understatement, I seriously LOVED The Dark Knight Rises. I could not have been more pleased with the ending of such an incredible trilogy. I was on the edge of my seat pretty much the whole time. I won't go into details because I do not want to spoil the movie for others who have not yet seen it. But really, everything about it was amazing. The acting was spectacular, and at many points I felt that I could've been witnessing something from real life instead of just a scene from a movie. I don't even know what else to say. My mind was blown....

Also, I was kind of disappointed at how we were pretty much the only ones who dressed up. We saw about ten other people, but that was it. Oh well, we still looked awesome.

PS. Michael Caine is incredible. 

updating.

okay for reals. I have not posted in a while. I'm sorry 'bout that. Anywayssssss, so sunday was my 21st birthday! Woot woot. It was a pretty good day, I got red toms from my hubby, and a lot of birthday money :) And I get "second birthday" this weekend when we go to vegas! Can't wait. Today I finally spent more time with Megan, we went shopping and she bought me birthday lunch at Kneader's (which is delicious). I also bought a lot of cute birthday clothes with my birthday money.

Also, Chauncey got a job! At L3 communications. He starts August 6th, and he will be working the swing shift (4 to midnight). We are so excited, I feel like everything is falling into place, we are very very blessed. Other than that nothing has really changed. We have just been enjoying the summertime of no school...So yeah! I will try to post more often.

So I know I posted already today, but I just wanted to say that I have the best husband in the world. All these weddings have been reminding me of our wedding day, and every moment since then. I truly do have an amazing husband, and I am so grateful for him. Last night around 11, Chauncey looked up at me and said "you look so beautiful right now". This confused me because my hair was piled up on my head in a messy bun, I didn't have any make up on and I was wearing sweats. But I could tell he meant it by the look on his face, these are the moments that make me so happy, the ones I live for. He's so good to me.

Anyways, I just wanted to share that. Thanks for reading!

Sewing Project #4

Oh hey. So today I didn't have work, and I had the urge to sew something. So I was looking online for things to inspire me, when I saw this. I have been having a problem with my sewing desk being organized, so I was so excited to start this project. I didn't follow the tutorial exactly. For example, I used batting to reinforce the pockets and the backing. Mine is also slightly smaller with a different design. At first I was worried it wasn't going to turn out, otherwise I would have taken pictures along the way. But here is the finished product, and I love it!

I used part of a hanger to hang it up, The hanger is white to match the white in the fabric. The fabric was leftover from a friends wedding present.

Anyways, If you love to sew and want to make one, I would suggest heading over to Expect Moore's Blog and check out her tutorial. Like I said, mine is slightly different, but her tutorial helped me out a lot!

Okay, thanks for reading and have a marvelous monday!

weddings, graduations and more weddings.

Oh hey. So we just got back from Vegas, it was a blast. We went because Chauncey's sister, Brittany, graduated from nursing school. One of my good friends, Eeerin, also got married that weekend. So we went to Brittany's pinning ceremony thursday, and to my friends wedding on friday. It was a really busy weekend, but overall it was fun. We love going to Vegas and visiting family, and visiting all my good friends from high school was a big plus, since I usually don't see them. So because I was dumb and didn't use my camera at all, I will use some of my friend, Kelli's photos from the weekend. Thanks for taking such awesome pictures Kelli!

I look kinda tired in this one, but that's okay, it's still cute :)

So yeah, that was a fun night. Now I have 2 good high school friends married, and another one getting married in just 11 days! Crazy... Anyways, love you girls!

So yeah, fun and busy weekend, now back to our normal lives. I hope everyone has a miraculous monday :)
