Dear blog

I've been terrible about updating you. I'll leave a short "appetizer" update then hopefully in a few weeks get around to catching up.

love Myndi

Things I've learned from planning a wedding:

1) Don't put things off
2) DON'T put things off!!!!
3) No matter what you say people ARE going to make you pick/ask for your input on every freaking little thing except the few things you actually care about
4) never try and avoid any part of it.
5) just accept that you won't be wearing jerseys like you wanted in March instead of July and get a wedding dress so you don't have to freak about if it's done yet
6) it'll cost the same if not more to get your dress altered. Be prepared
7) once you freak out about 3 times and yell at everyone-even tho you feel kinda bad- people start leaving you alone about stupid little things like 'Is this color of blue OK?' just cuz they don't wanna be yelled at again. but you gotta actually melt down. not just cry.
8)Everybody you meet will have suggestions and hints and advice. unless you really like the idea do what you want. The people telling you stuff have either A) already had their wedding or 2) will have one someday. This one is yours. Accept their input nicely and non committally and then forget it.
9) Understand that you will be super sick of everyone remotely related to you by the end. but no worries you can tell them to leave you alone after the fact for at least a month and make it stick. ;)
10) also know that it's for the families. They will take over and take your idea of what you wanted (i.e. a small BBQ reception in jeans and football attire) and turn it into something completely different (i.e. a formal wedding complete with dress, tux, 700 invites sent out, flowers dresses and all that foofy crap) it does no good to dwell. keep a few things that you won't budge on (i.e. I am wearing chucks and at 8:01 pm I will no longer be at the reception, and there won't be anything even resembling a line) and deal with the rest. it's only a few hours then you never have to do this again
11) if you are planning on having a wedding on one day and a reception on another you need to set ground rules and be kinda men about it . Rules such as if you call either of us before 1:30 pm on Saturday or even attempt to present either of us with any kind of problem I will be forced to hurt you in ways that would make jigsaw look tame.
and last but not least
12) it'll be over soon. just remember. it's like 10 hours of you life. one day of work. Just breathe and count down the days. (we're at 3). Then you'll never have to do this again. in and out


Also on another note Saturday (Aug 8) I was endowed in the Bountiful temple. It was supa awesome and I'll forever be grateful to the people who were there and especially Tara who took time out of her supa popular supa busy schedule to be there and help me out. with like everything. Thanks ya'll!

Now I've avoided life for long enough. I'll post more when I can breathe again

update number 2.. or 3.. i'm not sure

Updates!

• Our house loan fell thru. Credit scores we're good enough to get everything on the loan. So we had to get about $4200 for a housing loan plus about $1700 for closing costs or wait. It's ok tho cuz...
• We got an apt. A really nice apt. for a really good deal. It's a two bedroom 962 sq ft with a fireplace and balcony(on the top floor. moving is going to be a bitch. lol so if any of you strong people wanna come help out on June first it'd be a good workout...)cable, central air washer and dryer hookups included and pet friendly. and they had a great deal going on. our Apt is normally (approx) $769 a month without the added insurance and water/garbage/sewage fee. our rent every month is $716 after everything! yay for good luck. Andy moves in on June first and I'll be there Aug 14th. ;)
• We got our invite pics done. and we should have the invites soon. Thank you so very much Audry!

Well that's about it. yay!

I'm getting kinda bad at this game.

So I'm getting kinda bad at this Blogging game. and I'd like to say it's cuz I've been busy at work and planning a wedding and all that but... lol no truth is I'm actually just kinda lazy. *gasp* I know. I'll wait while you catch your breath ........................................................................................................................................................
ok all better? lol I'll go on now. so we really haven't done a whole lot as far as..anything. lol I'll give a quick run down of everything I've done in the last month worth mentioning:

• We managed to call the Draper temple and and reserve a room at 2 pm on Aug 14th.
• We decided that like a formal reception is kinda a big hassle and between our families we'd prolly end up hurting someones feelings so I think we're doing a BBQ instead.
• and We've talked about needing to get pics done.

yeah so not a whole lot in the wedding dept. we gotta get a move on. I think next Tuesday after pay day we're going to go start our home application and get that going. and hopefully sometime in the next few weeks after my sunburn and cold sore go away we can do pics and start making invites. (btw anyone who hasn't given me their address and wants an invite you should prolly do it. you can post it or email me at nefariousgrl3@gmail.com or you can call or text me or facebook. lol ) Woo! we are so lazy...

As far as the life section the only things worth mentioning are as follows:

• I read the biography of Miley Cyrus
• Went to see the Hannah Montana Movie with my mom and Andy-yes he sat thru it for me. with my mom in an awkward twist of events. I know he's a keeper ;). Greatest. Movie. Involving. Hannah. Montana. To. Date. lol I really liked it as cheesy and stupid as it was
• And I've but putting in 9 and 10 hour days at work To try and fill up whats called credit at work. hat that means is that i can work up to 24 hours at some point in time and then I can use that like leave basically. so that in Aug when I go to take 4 or 5 days off, if I have a full credit of 24 hours-they won't let you do more.- and Some comp-which is basically the same as credit but you can have up to 80 hours and if you don't use it in like 18 months or 2 years or something it turns into overtime. credit just chills basically forever-I won't have to touch my annual leave so i can save it for Vegas in Nov. Woo!
• And I decided Fridays are going to be very boring at work. I hang out with 3 people for the most part: Shantel, Sara, and Daniel. Well Shantel only works Mon, Tues, and Wed. Sara only works Mon., Tues., and Thur. and Daniel. the only one who works Fridays just got furloughed for about a month. I may need to take back up smoking just to have friends for the next month

Yeah. so not a whole lot. hopefully someday I'll have more to post.
