OH what a beautiful day!!!!!

Even though I know we didn't have that rough of a winter, to say that I'm happy that spring is here is an understatment. I am so happy to have nice weather to look forward to, sandals to wear, and outdoor activities to enjoy. :D

I mean honestly, look at this weather forecast for this week from KSL:

Doesn't it just SCREAM spring? :D I'm one happy girl over here, yes siree!

In fact, I got to enjoy my lunch outside today. :D

life in general

Life is crazy. I kind of feel like I've been through a good processor this week. Granted, the moments when the food processor has been stopped have been great ones. :o) But I am so ready for the weekend and everything it is bringing me!

We've had Lindy for the past week or so while her mom was out of town. We potty trained. :P Let me tell you what, I never expected to get married and then 4 weeks later trying to get a very strong-willed 3-yr old potty trained. It was fun times. :) Lindy is on her way, not perfect at it yet, but on her way and that's a good thing.

In other news I am officially associated with the military with my spousal military i.d. and being put onto Allan's health insurance. It's good times.

This weekend Allan and I don't HAVE to do anything so we're going to fill the weekend with loads of fun things. We're going to ride around on his motorcycle, take a walk/hike (probably to Bridal Veil) and go dancing up in Salt Lake. The weather is supposed to be just perfect and I am so stoked to take full advantage of the sunshine. My emotional well-being needs an overload of Vitamin-D.

That's about all I got - next week I'm hoping to get some wedding posts up - our vendors were seriously AWESOME and I can't wait to tell you everything about everything. ;) So look forward to that. In the mean time, eat some swedish fish. That's what I'm doing. ;)

Ciao!

let it snow, let it snow, let it snow..... NOT!!!

For the past three days I have woken up to ugly, gnarly, snowy conditions. It took me over an hour on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday to get to work. It was nasty and not so much fun.

However, today, the roads were clear. I got to work with minutes to spare. :) And looking at the forecast for the next week I am one VERY happy camper:

Sunshine! Temperatures above 20 degrees! What more could a girl ask for? (well...lots, but I'll be happy with this!)

In other news I've slowly started moving to the new place and this weekend is THE BIG MOVE of everything else. I am excited to get everything set up in the new place and to make it a home. :-) It will be fun times.

Also, because everyone keeps asking me - no, I do not know when I am getting married yet. I have a working date in late March, but we're still waiting for everything to go through. We met with our Stake President last night and he is dedicated to help us finish everything out and have everything in place so we can get married as soon as possible. I left that meeting last night with a lot of hope.

I was reminded of this quote by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles :

“To any who may be struggling to see that light and find that hope, I say: Hold on. Keep trying. God loves you. Things will improve. Christ comes to you in His ‘more excellent ministry’ with a future of ‘better promises.’ He is your ‘high priest of good things to come.’ ” - Jeffrey R. Holland, “An High Priest of Good Things to Come,” Ensign, Nov. 1999, 36

Isn't that just lovely? Hold on. don't give up. It will be okay. That is my mantra for this next month. January has been hard one for me in so many ways and I am glad that it is ending today. February will be a challenge to get through, but I have a feeling it will fly by like a blink of an eye. Which more than I can say for January. :)

Before I know it will be March. March brings my birthday, our wedding (hopefully) and warmer temperatures (at least, one can hope for that!). Life is good. It's going to get better. I just need to live one day at a time.
