it's been a while.. also I need to vent

so as some of you may or may not know about a week ago Andy and I came to a very much life changing decision (although not "official" yet so...) now I'm sitting here really trying to understand what this means. so I'm going to blog. if any of ya'll have any kind o advice/ suggestions feel free to leave them.

Kk so basic overview: on valentines day after we went and did all that hoopla Andy and I had a discussion about where we saw this(our relationship) going. and both kinda came to the conclusion that both of us see this ending in marriage. so it was basically a proposal without the whole "proposal" thing.-thus the it's not official part of this- so we've been talking about it a lot. which is where all this stems from.

After the intital excitement of the whole deal it kinda hit me. oh shit. now I have to tell my family. let me give you a little background on my family(in bulleted form)

• my parents anniversary is may 7 1988, my birthday is Nov 5 1988. go ahead count those. there are only 7 months... yeah and I wasn't early
• my dad is pretty anti Mormon for the most part despite what he claims. his actions say it all
• my dad has a wow problem. and not the computer game type o wow problem. the type Andy and I both have struggled with in the past
• my dad is stubborn. he hasn't been to church in years, when he does go he bitches and moans the whole time and causes much contention and discord and refuses to believe that someone here on this earth knows more than him and that "hocus pocus 'visions' and 'feelings' " actually have truth to them

aka even if we offered to wait and give my family time to clean up so that they could be there with us(which was my first suggestion. I would give anything for my family to be there. It's just not ) it wouldn't happen. and I'm not getting married outside the temple. it's that important to me and I know it is the right thing to do. so basically we have to tell my family our plans, make them feel included, explain our reasons in a way that makes sense to them and that they can understand and accept and not let them find out third party. oh and then plan and execute a meet the in laws and then a wedding. haha I'll trade anyone for the stress of finals right now straight across ;) not really but you know just trying to lighten the mood for myself. back off

so basically the only way we've come up with for telling my fam is to wait until Andy has a ring and then have him ask my dad for permission in a 'I'm-asking-for-permission-but-it's-going-to-happen-anyway' kinda way. and if they do by chance find out third party (which with any luck they won't.) We'll just fess up and explain our reasoning for waiting. but only cuz Andy doesn't go for the whole eloping idea ;) again. joke. kinda i mean my family isn't stupid for the most part. they know it's coming. I'm just hoping things will go smoothly enough that my entire side can live with it. cuz i know i will always have a hard time dealing with the fact that the only people there from my side will be my grandma maybe and a few friends also maybe. but with great sacrifice comes great reward... that's what I keep telling myself.

yeah so that's about it

A7x concert. (I know I'm way late)

So I just realized that I haven't posted about the a7x concert yet (I prolly forgot cuz I don't have any pictures) But here goes.

This time instead of having a big group of friends to meet out there and all that it was just Andy and I. We got there about 530 and they opened up the doors at 6. I got us seats for this one cuz they were the same price and I'm not all about mosh pits anymore. so we had seat and were just watching everyone file in. Then my friend Elizabeth came in and she had GA-aka the mosh pits- so I walked down and talked to her for a minute. Then the concert started.

The first band was Saving Abel. They weren't great. weren't bad. but weren't that great either. I only knew one song by them(addicted) and not even really well. Yeah. not a whole lot on them.

The papa roach came out. I love Love LOVE papa roach! And they put on a great show! They did some of their earlier stuff (blood brothers, last resort, broken home) an some newer stuff (getting away with murder, scars) and Jacoby Shaddix-the lead singer- was out and wandering about the crowds and up in the seats and stuff. it was awesome! at one point He was like honestly maybe 12 rows away from us! awesome!

Then A7x came out! which was slightly disappointing! Cuz I thought they were headlining. Turns out they were co headlining with buck cherry. ugh.

But they put on an awesome show. They did some of all their stuff. unholy confessions, bat country, almost easy. all the popular stuff. It was good. Then we left cuz... yeah.. buckcherry? no

The coolest past of the whole thing was that slc was the kick off for the whole tour! yay! yeah. haha and I only got one pic from the concert that my friend Elizabeth took. so here it is

Ok well blogger hates me so it's going to have to stay at the top. but yeah there ya go

First day of Fediness

Yesterday was my first day of IRS. And although I managed to piss off a lead almost immediately(I seem to have that effect on people) it was pretty good.



First thing we did was get badges so we could get in everyday. Already this place was so much more organized that IAP(aka the files) I had to wait almost a month to get one there. so basically everyday they lost 20 minutes of their time and mine cuz I'd have to wait for a manager to sign me in and out. Grr. There was a big line and you signed like 93 papers and then boom. badge.



Then they put us in this training room. There were like 12 people too many so we had to o to the break room and get chairs. By this time I had found my friends shantel and daniel so we all sat in the back corner(the trouble corner as my friend daniel so eloquently named it. but we'll get to that later)



Then the training. there is a thousand page manual on how to take mail out of an envelope correctly. and the envelope is already cut open. I'm very serious. My friends and I were making fun of the training and kept laughing.. and trying to stifle said laughs. Thus the reason we took on the moniker the trouble corner.

then we went home after 8 hours. basically it's a monkey job. But I'm ok with that. $15 an hour almost great benefits. not to hard. Dream come true. and it's at night so no need to get up way stinkin early or stay up way to stinking late
