Our recent adventures...part 1

Well, I know that I'm a failure at blogging so I thought I'd make up for it with some wedding photos!! 

The first couple are just some engagements that we love. All of the photos here are by Wendy G Photography :) 

So the rest are some wedding shots at the temple. I haven't been able to resize our bridals/groomals yet and so those will come shortly. It was a HOT and very sunny day-but still great!!! Here's us with our parents and grandparents. David's grandpa gailey sealed us and it was incredible! :) 

(nana and papa spader, g-ma and g-pa gailey, momma and papa gailey, us, momma and papa laubaugh and grandma laubaugh)

we were sealed in the Jordan River Temple :) 

Here are my bridesmaids! Audrey and Laura were david's sisters who are incredible and I just love them so much!!! and then also my sister jana and rochelle! :D 

The whole gang!! 

Here's our wedding party 

(mitch, toren, alex, john, david, me, jana, audrey, rochelle, and laura)  

The parents and us!! 

I have the best love/hate relationship with my shoes-I love them, but they hate my feet. :) 

haha-we can't help but just love this photo... 

there will be plenty more to come! I'm still working on some of the photos and getting them ready for the web. we're super excited and having a blast setting up our apartment and getting ready for school to start again. Nothing really new is going on, just living the american dream! haha

i've decided that david and i need a fun hobby to do together after work or on the weekends...suggestions?

Life has been crazy, and although stealing intenet from the nearby clubhouse is a party, it's not always reliable. so needless to say, i have about 5 unfinished drafts with pictures of our new apartment and our lovely turtles, different traveling adventures, wedding shots and recption shots as well. life has been a continual party.

have no fear-i'll post those asap, it's just that right now i'm at work. all alone in my office waiting for my co-worker to come in, who is late as always...

oh well, back to the busy work until a student frantically comes in because he forgot to register for fall classes and now can't get into any of them.

p.s. I'm married!!!!! :) It was an incredible wedding and a perfect day-i'll blog more about it later and will post pictures when i can :)

Dressers and DI

So I have much to update, but there is no time! Currently I'm in glorious washington with the gailey family and we're going to have an open house for david and I tomorrow. David said that he called blogging about our flight over, but I can't help but comment about my DI experience from yesterday.

Over the past few days david and I have been looking for things to furnish our new apartment. at the time we were looking for a new dresser or something of the sort to put some extra clothes in-well...we love to fix things up and so of course david suggests that we go to the DI to find a dresser that we could fix up and use. well...i decided to venture out and check out what was going on at the DI-i get there and find this little dresser that would be a decent fit...I open up the first drawer and get this whiff of something RANK-it was one of the worst smells i've ever smelt-i won't go into details, but seriously it was in the top 3 worst smells i've ever experienced. So, instead of leaving it alone, I decide to see if the dresser is functional and open the rest of the drawers, the helpful DI worker comes over and asks if I need help, and right after I decline I open up the last drawer and get an even stronger whiff of the rancid odor and start to puke. Not just a little 'oh i just puked a little in my mouth,' but a 4 heave fill the dresser drawer with my lunch and breakfast puke. Not my finest moment, but it happened. The worker just came over and removed the drawer and took it in the back. That was all. I had vomit splattered across my face and shirt, a little in my hair and as I look up teary-eyed, I see this mexican in his mid twenties just gawking at me and then laughing and talking to his friend in spanish. I surprise him and reply back-and continued to remind him that I was fluent and understood everything crude thing he was saying. So after wiping my face clean with the towel on the rack-I went straight to walmart, gum in my mouth and all hand sanitizered up and bought a steralite container.

Thank you DI for another memorable experience.

Our new apartment!!!!

Well it's official, I HAVE MY OWN APARTMENT!!!! ( with david of course) haha so yesterday David and I got the keys to our first little one bedroom apartment, which in all actuality is much more spacious than we had thought in the first place. It feels so weird, it really does, I'm still expecting 4 other girls to walk in the door at any time and say, "Hey! I'm you're new roommate!" as the scream dagger sound effect plays in the background and all I can do is just cringe and endure yet another semester of drama and catty-ness. BUT NO!!!!!! Thank goodness, I will only have 1, yes 1 roommate ever again! (well until we have kids, but that's not for a while) but really-reality just hit this morning as I woke up and didn't have to wait for the shower.  :)

Let's rewind a second.....
Yesterday 10am...David and I go and pay/pick up the keys to our new apartment. Have a tour of everything and started making notes of everything that we needed/wanted to do to the place.

10:15am-Started unloading the 2 cars with all of our things. I attempted to help and carried in the small things so that David could carry the big things. :) Thank goodness he's strong or else I would've been dragging everything inside!

After  2 hours I had to get to work so David went and continued to pack and do his thing. Once 5 hit I was out of there and we picked up a small bite to eat since our fridge was barren and our motivation was lacking to go shopping. but, we then started unpacking once again and did as much as we could then watched some Robin Hood on the projector and then david went back to his place. I didn't feel bad for him just sleeping on mattress because since our bed isn't here yet, I tried sleeping on the love seat, then moved down to the floor for the night. haha

Today has been pretty much the same. Just more work, so there's less unpacking. I'm just waiting for the call to go back home and let the people who are bringing our bed in.

Other than unpacking I'm just finishing up laundry, and trying to pack and prepare for the weekend. It's been so crazy and hectic that I haven't been able to do anything for it-oh well!! things will work out in the end. ok, i'm back to work and done with this blog that has taken me almost an hour to write haha

-Pictures will come once we get things organized better!!-

Tonight David and I went and saw Inception-INCREDIBLE MOVIE!!!! We both just loved it! It made you think and had you in suspense the whole time. But tonight I wasn't just watching the movie-but I was observing people as well. :)

As we were in line I realized that there were a few first dates, and a few old timers and then the awkward couples that you can't help but stare at. You stand in line and suddenly the person behind you becomes your best friend and eventually tries to cut you in line so that they could get a ticket for sure. (BTW david and I got the LAST 2 tickets of the evening to the 9.15 showing of the movie WAHOO!!!! ) Take that boy who tried to cut us and bring his friends along!

So as you enter the theater you have the creepy couple sitting in the top left corner who are just staring into each others eyes and when they're not doing that they're making out. I mean really-it's bad when I think that there's some sort of background noise in the movie and I'm just not seeing it yet but then I hear a faint grunt besides me and realize that it's the continual lip smacking that's going on the whole time 1 seat away...i'm not a fan. So of course I awkwardly stare at you for a few moments trying to creep you out so you stop, but no, it continues on till the credits start. thank you awkward make out couple for making my movie viewing experience the best it's ever been.

in front of you there's the guy who's picking his nose because it must be a nervous habit he hasn't grown out of yet and not be able to help it because we all know that it's socially unacceptable and the way that he was going for it was a little more than obvious.

at the end you have the high school student who has to scream and yell about how great the movie is and then have him and his posse follow you down the stairs and out into the hallway still hooping and hollering because it just "blows your mind!!!"

then you have that couple that you can just tell it was a first date and they are just twitterpated. you can't help but smile and be happy for them, especially the girl because it's obvious that she's nervous and spent a good 2 hours getting ready for the date and it all paid off. she looks stunning and her date knows it and has his chest puffed up and is excited that it went well and wants to ask her out again.

there's the older couple who you see are still madly in love with each other and had a few hours to go to dinner and a movie without the 8 kids. holding hands and laughing like they were our age again. they look around and relive the memories, but are grateful for their experiences and lives at that moment.

and then there's people like david and me- just 2 kids looking for a night out, trying to escape the stresses of life and finals.

oh there is nothing better than dinner, a movie and people watching. :)
