I love you Sarah McAnderson.

Thats right, McAnderson.
Why get rid of your last name if you love it?
Why not just combine the two?
Just kidding, Sarah definitely took on mikes last name but I'll probably call her McAnderson for the rest of my life.
The wedding was beautiful. It was exactly how she wanted it to be, I think.
The ceremony was short and sweet and simple. Similar to what I would have said at my own wedding, if I ever tie the knot. I don't have all the pictures YET, as soon as I do i'll post more. But I'll post what i've got for now.
Here is them, during the ceremony, about to exchange rings.....















And this would be us, watching, as they do this... see me smiling? Smiling real big to avoid cryin haha.















Then this is them, afterward, its a silly picture of them and they have MUCH BETTER ones.. I just havent been given the disc of photos yet. So this is what ya get til I can getcha somethin better.
















Then this is Sarah and I at her reception.




















Oh and me and mom and Kit and the reception.














So ya, good times. They served Gelato and Italian sodas. And fresh fruit and vegetables. It really was just perfect.
Celisse made the most amazing cake! You go girl!
I'm glad its over, I'm sure Sarah feels the same way.
They are in mexico right now. She's all moved out of the house =/
This new girl moved in. Shes alright I guess. Kinda weird but its only temporary so i'm not even gonna stress about it.

I'm so excited I get to start learning sign today!!! Its about time! I feel like I needed to know it fluently by... yesterday?

Why does everyone gotta hate on zombie flicks? I rented George Romero's Day of the Dead and it was freaking epic.
If I had the opportunity to be in movies, I'd pick zombie films. First i'd want to be a victim, get chased, then eaten. Then I'd wanna switch it up and PLAY a zombie. Super cool. Get my head chopped off or something.














I really can't explain why I have these morbid fascinations. I know it worries my mother but its ok Paula!! I assure you i'm fine!! I'm not gonna go out and start eating people, unless you can find me someone out there who is BBQing up some human. Just kidding mom :) See here is a kitty to make it allllll better....















A few of my other morbid fascinations include serial killers. Crime scenes. It just sparks my interest. I like learning about how messed up people can get.
www.crimelibrary.com
I don't recommend that site for anyone with a weak stomach.
www.findadeath.com
This site ain't so bad, its actually written by this gay guy Scott Michaels. He runs a Graveline tour in hollywood. Basically you'd hop in his herse and he'd take you around to all of the places in hollywood where anything really super cool and epic happened. Like where famous people lived and died. His website includes interesting short biographies about famous people... (Chris Farley, Judy Garland, Rodney Dangerfield, Jeffrey Dahmer, Jimi Hendrix, Mama Cass, Notorious BIG, John Belushi, Humphrey Bogart, Ray Charles..) You get the idea. But basically it starts with a brief overview of their childhood, why they were famous, and then the nitty gritty about how they died. Oh mom its even got Karen Carpenter hehe :)
I don't know why I care about this crap.

So this is it.

I'd like to begin this post by saying i've been reduced to a few small material posessions.
Sarah has packed up all her things, well, mostly all of them other than this desk i'm sitting at right now.
The walls are bare, so is the floor.
No more art no more rugs.

I came home and opened up the cupboard and it appears that she had packed up all her bowls and plates and cups as well.
This cant be all I own, can it?















I've never felt so pathetic.
A few dusty wine glasses, coffee, coffee filters. The only plate I own. Pam. Big ass plastic margarita glass that sarah and I were so excited to use... but never did. Teapot. Flour. Sugar bin thingy, but its not actually full of solid sugar, its actually full of little packages of sweet and low. Even though right next to it there is a big box of sugar. Why do I do things like that?

Would this make you sad? If you opened up your cupboard and this is all you had?



I want to get married and have everyone buy me fabulous kitchen supplies. I want blenders and spice racks and bowls and plates and brand new teflon pants I want it too!!! But what if I never get married huh?
Maybe i'll stage a wedding!! Ya thats what i'll do. And all of you suckers will buy me gifts. Hows that sound?

purrrrfect.

I went shopping a few days ago with my beautiful mother. I tried on one billion dresses, finally found a perfect pretty floral one. I love spending time with her I dont know why I don't do it more. She makes me feel so good and positive and warm inside. Thats what mothers are for. I hope I can be just like her someday :)

I'll take a lot of pictures at this wedding tomorrow and i'll keep you guys posted! I say you guys... as if anyone reads this thing.

Fish.

I am so in love

hard boiled eggs in a tube sock

*siiiigh*
It's been a while.
Lack of updates due to... well... I have no legit excuse actually.
Life is crazy and I love it.

So apparently i'm out of shape. Thats no news. But geez I didn't think that raking leaves for just an hour would make me as sore as I am. I can't stand up straight and I cant bend over. Thanks to Kate's good advice, my abs hurt too :)
We had fun though.. see...














Olivia is too cute for her own good.














I'm afraid that if Camille has more babies I wont be able to love them as much as I do Olivia. I asked mom about that too. If she ever felt like Katie was just so fantastic that she might not love her next babies as much. She said that was absurd haha. Fiiiine.

Celisse was in town, we all went to Citris Grill. The food was mediocre, but its good time with my girls.















Sarah hand delivered her invite to my bedroom last night. Its cute and simple and I love it. I love that they didn't include engagement photos. That is just sooo not Sarah. SO ya, countdown is ON baby its on like donkey kong. 16 days. She is probably trippin balls. I don't think she is ready. But who is honestly?

So having my BFF get married means there are a couple things in store for me. First, I have to move. I have a couple different options as far as moving goes, i'm still trying to decide but its hard. I can do one of the following:
-Stay in my house with Mary until my lease is up
-Move somewhere with Mary at the end of this month, or at the end of May.
-Move somewhere by myself at the end of this month, or at the end of May.
-become the most good looking hobo in SLC
-Move to Canada and make a living in the film industry. Jk.

I love house hunting, its one of my favorite things to do. I plan on stickin to my favorite hot spots. Downtown, sugarhouse, aves, anywhere around liberty park would be fun. So I guess we'll just see. I'm in no rush, and im not about to just pick the cheapest place I find.. I'm damn picky this time around. No more stupid small kitchen and NO MORE SLANTY SHOWER!!!!














Secondly- having my BFF get married... means i'm gonna be a tad lonely. I'm trying to keep myself distracted til then. Doesnt feel real but hey, this is life and thats what we do ain't it? We grow up, get married, make babies, and die.

Mom better have gone to the Doc today. She has this stupid cold for... ever. Herroooo!! Take caaare of iiit!!!

Lots of new developments at work, but I wont bore yall.
I will however, bore yall with pictures of my cats and other miscellaneous things I do.

I love...

working on my day off.... PSYCHE!!!

But I do love some things, and sometimes I like to make lists of things that i'm grateful for. Or things that make me happy... just to remind myself that life ain't so bad. And I really don't have much to complain about.
So here it goes.

-my moms peanut butter and honey sandwiches
-weather like todays
-legit scary movies
-dollar theatres
-hand holding
-boys who are down to just makeout. why doesn't anyone just makeout anymore?
-coconut cream pie
-moms home made oreo cookies
-hearing my cats meow
-watching old people hold hands and help each other, its always hopeful seeing old ass couples who are still in love.
-meeting new people who I have something in common with
-meeting a hot boy in the horror section at blockbuster, who proceeds to tell me he watches zombie films while petting his cat. umm love?
-disposable cameras
-getting a nice tan-which I never do-but when I do I always feel a tad more attractive
-having my hair washed by someone else
-rainbows
-anything furry with a heartbeat.
-successfully baking anything without burning
-seeing old friends
-disney movies with my sisters
-phase 10 with my family
-the smell of the bathrooms at work
-getting my hair did. and not paying 40 dollars for a haircut
-real taco on state st and 2nd south. best mexican street burrito vender i've ever seen.
-90s jams on the radio.
-hitting every green light on my way home from work
-the first sip of a pepsi
-road trips- this is one thing my friends would always ask me about, "how can you handle driving 12 hours in the car with your siblings?!?!?" And to me its like uhh duh? We sing our hearts out, give back tickles, take naps, watch movies, discuss stuff. In all honestly, I can't think of anyone else i'd rather be in a car with for long periods of time. And I know this from experience. Having driven 22 freaking hours, straight to iowa, with Nate the chain smoker, and seth the fuzzy-nazi, I can say that I have road trip preferences. Who else will belt wilson phillips or will smith with me, honestly.
-when dad cracks my toes
-text messaging
-my oil burner
-seeing pictures of myself i've never seen before- that sounds vain, but i'm being honest
-sniffing sharpies-dont worry, im not getting stoned over here off my sharpie, but a sniff every now and then ain't too harmful is it?


Ok thats all I can come up with at this point.

Last night I saw No country for old men. Went with Kit, cory, and sam. Kit and cory are pretty cute. He seems to like her a lot. Sam was anti-gay as per usual, wouldnt even hold my hand. However he did drive my car for me, because my license was suspended. It is no longer suspended as of today. Hahahah but OMG I have to take the written driving test again in order to get a new DL. Uhhh does ANYONE remember what was on the test? I sure as hell dont. But i've heard its open book, so uhh, wish me luck folks.

Kate gets in toniiiiight. Woo hoody hoo.

Just for you :)

Hey guys.
Yes yes I created this blog so that you could hear about my life.
Although you know I have another blog, that isn't politically correct, or appropriate for children, to say the least, I thought it would be fun to have another one so that yall who give a crap can be up to date with my life...
Just wanna preface this by saying I got a new keyboard today and oh my goodness it feel so good. Kinda like getting new tires on your car, you feel like you're floating on a cloud, not driving. I feel like my fingers are typing... through... butter... or something. Its magnificent and smooth.

Moving on. Work is always more exciting on Thursdays. I think that is because we have our sales meeting and it makes me feel like i'm actually important and valuable to the company. When in reality i'm at the bottom of the totem pole, barely a goldfish in this big sea. Plus I love watching people sign. I feel like I learn new signs everyday just from watching other people communicate. Its kinda funny because these deaf folks probably think i'm eves dropping on their conversations because I stare at them with wide eyes and my jaw dropped in amazement, but I actually have no clue what they're talking about. Rest easy deaffies, I do not understand your language... YET!

Easter sure is coming early this year. I keep forgetting that its this weekend. I'll be honest and go ahead and admit that its one of my least favorite holidays. I can't really think of any specific reason why that is... but... I do know the only things I enjoy about it are...
-Katie comes to town
-The look on my dads face as we search for our easter baskets. He is the evil bunny. And i'm so glad that our family carries on this tradition. Most families probably stop hiding easter baskets once the kids get older and realize the bunny ain't real. But it gives my father SO MUCH JOY to watch us squirm about desperately seeking for the goods. My mom always hides my dads basket... I think we should help her with this this year because he seems to always find it pretty fast.
-Those malt covered miniature chocolate eggs. I think they're made by cadbury but they melt in your mouth and mmmmmmmmm

So hey those are some things I have to look forward to this weekend. Also we're having a bachelorette party for Sarah. This should be a riot. She chose this option, as opposed to having a formal bridal shower with her girlfriends. I don't really give a shit either way. I just want to spend as much time with her as I can before she is whisked away to far off lands. Pff. Law school.

I guess Kate gave her job a 1 year commitment (I think it was one year, or 6 months) so that means she will not be moving home anymore :( I know she'd never believe me but I was really excited to learn that she was coming home. I think everyone was. Even our neighbors and family friends miss kate. I hope she realized the support network she has here and that there are so many, SO MANY people she can call for just about anything. We truly are lucky to have been raised the way we were. Constantly surrounded by friends who are more like family than anything. I don't think I have many friends who understand what this is like. I know almost every single person who lives on my street. (my parents street that is) When I meet people who have lived in the same house for a long time, and I come to find out that they don't know their neighbors I think... how the hell do you not know your neighbors? Who do you borrow sugar from? Who do you try to one up with your fabulous flower beds? Hah.

I'm wearing my new easter dress today. Its real cute, thank you ebay. Obviously it looks better on me, than it does on the mannequin ;) And yes folks that is the correct spelling for mannequin, I had to dictionary.com it myself.



















Today, I was thinking how cool it would be if my cats were life size. I know some of you might mock me for this but how bad ass would it be if I could just be like, "Hey elton, grab me a glass of water" And he walked on his two little furry legs to the kitchen and poured me a glass. Then he rubbed my back. You know you wish this too.
