Canada recap

2011-12-30T13:03:00.000-07:00

We have been in Canada since the 20th of December! It has been so much fun spending time with Bryan's family! We watched lots of hockey, movies, tv shows, played games, saw old friends, and ate some great food! This year was a little crazy for Christmas! We had 3 Christmases! One with Bryan and I, one with my family, and one with Bryan's! We are so grateful for family! The only downside to this trip is that tulip had to stay with my parents and we really missed her! This Christmas was really special because it was on a Sunday! We went to sacrament meeting in the morning and it was one of the best I have ever attended! I love the gospel so much and am so grateful for it! The gospel is the one of the greatest gift we have received, but the greatest is the Atonemnt! Hope everyone is doing well!

Fleas.

2011-12-09T13:11:00.001-07:00

Well, Tulip got fleas and I hate to admit it. We had been giving her frontline flea and tick stuff since the day we bought her, and we forgot ONE month. ONE!!! AND what do we get? fleas. Well, I found out yesterday as I was studying for my Anatomy and Physiology final. I had to work last night too. So all I could do yesterday was give her a flea bath and some medicine. But today, after I took my Anatomy final, I came home and with a little of Bryan's help, deep cleaned the WHOLE house. vacuumed every inch, washed everything that could possibly be washed, and sprayed everything that couldn't be washed with flea killer stuff. I also put some flea killing powder on the carpet too. I gave Tulip one more flea bath this morning, so I think we are in the clear....i hope. ha ha ha. So after 2 flea baths,2 things of medicine, and a deep clean, I think we are good to go.

Too long!

2011-10-03T13:43:00.001-06:00

It has been way too long since I have posted!!! Not much is new, I am working and in school. Bryan is working as well! Tulip is a sweet puppy still! She turned 8 months yesterday! :)We had a great conference weekend!! Today is Ashleigh's birthday, so we ate at the Pancake Pantry! I had the best sweet potato pancakes with cinnamon cream syrup! SOO good. I had some hashbrowns too!For tonight for her, we are having pumpkin cake, which I am extremely looking forward to because I love pumpkin so much!!!Anyways! More next time!

2 years of Bliss!

2011-08-25T17:55:00.002-06:00

This past monday, Bryan and I celebrated our two year anniversary by going to Canada for a week and spending some quality time with his family!! We had so much fun!! :) We went to Calgary for 2 days to see some of our nieces and nephews!! We went to the Zoo and Calaway Park (a small amusement park). Over all, the trip was so much fun!!!
I feel lucky to be married by a man who loves me unconditionally!! :) It is such an amazing thing!!

I hope everyone is doing well!!

School

2011-08-25T17:48:00.002-06:00

Well, class started yesterday for me! Whenever school starts again, I can't help but to think of Nemo saying "First day of school, first day of school!!!"

This semester is going to be good I think. All of my classes pertain to my major!! I am taking:
Anatomy and Physiology 1
Prevention and Treatment of Injury
Lab methods of Exercise Science
Foundations of Sport Science
and
Principles of Sport Training

16 credit hours of awesomeness. :)

Also, I am going to be working while in school. I hate to admit this, but this is the first time that I have had a job while being in school. We will see how it goes! :) I am kind of excited because having this job will make me allot my time for studying and school better!!

Is it bad...

2011-08-05T09:58:00.002-06:00

That I encourage all my friends to get married ASAP? hahahaha But really, I realized today as I was texting a friend of mine, that I have become the old married friend that wants everyone else to get married as soon as possible.

I am one pushy mother trucker. lol.

Update Time

2011-07-24T19:57:00.003-06:00

It has been a long time since I wrote last. A lot has happened since then!! I finished my summer class, hallelujah, and I got a job!! I work at Massage Envy as a sales associate. I answer phones, book appointments, tell people about our wellness program etc. Good times. :)

Also, I just want to say that I am very happy for a certain friend of mine in Utah. (you know who you are and btw, i still want updates from you as to how things progress, practice does make perfect) hahahaha. :)

I start school again in August. The 24th to be exact. Bryan and I will be in Canada for our 2 year anniversary!!! We will be there from August 16-23 and we are so stoked. Plus also, I can't believe it has almost been two years since we got married! How does time fly so quickly? Also, how did I luck out with such an amazing man??

Bryan is working hard and we are being so blessed!! I love Bryan so much and every day with him is continually better and better. I am so grateful for him!!

I am going to try to post on a more frequent basis. I always say this, but this time, I am serious.

well!

2011-06-13T10:50:00.002-06:00

I did it! I survived the first week of my summer class! It is not as terrible as I thought it could possibly be. There is something due everyday, but it is all basically helping towards our final project for the class.

Also, I have to read one of those cheesy romance novels with the awkward picture on the front... and let me tell you, WEIRD STUFF is in these books. So...don't read one unless you have to.
Just a heads up. :P

Bry and I have been staying at my parents house for the past few days as they are in Europe. We are house sitting/dog sitting.

Let me tell you, I can't wait for them to come home tomorrow.

ALSO!!!! My 21st birthday is THIS WEDNESDAY!!!!!! Weird. But because of certain circumstances, I don't feel like my birthday is coming up soon at all.

This will be how I celebrate my birthday:
My summer class, going to the DMV to renew my license (can't wait), homework for my class, and the out to dinner with the family. Let's hope that my day will feel somewhat special.

Okay, I am boring myself now. talk later.

Summer School

2011-06-03T11:24:00.000-06:00

I start summer school this monday. I will be taking my required third year writing class.

To be honest, I am terrible at writing, so I hope that everything goes well for this class... eek.

Anyways. Hope all is well.

CA

2011-05-28T10:46:00.003-06:00

I really stink at updating! It has been a while!!

Well, last week I was in California with my mom and my sister! It was really fun.

While I was there I saw:
-Kelly Rutherford (She is in Gossip Girl as Lily Vander Woodson)
-Jay Leno
-Minnie Driver
-The main girl from Good Luck Charlie

I know this is going to sound lame, but going there made me lose self esteem for some reason. Everyone there seems like they have their perfect style and like they have it all together. And it made me feel like I don't have a good sense of style, and that I have no idea what I want to do with my life (job wise). I felt out of place.

But other than those feelings, I had a lot of fun shopping with my mom and hanging with my little sister.

I hope yall are doing well!

Tulip!!!

2011-05-25T10:19:00.002-06:00

tulips first hair cut!

Tulip playing with her toy!!

Tulip now weighs in at 4 lbs 4 oz. She is as cute as she can be! She is finally getting potty training! She goes to the door when she needs to go potty!! :)

Yeah...

2011-05-06T07:41:00.003-06:00

I totally suck at this. I did not do the post for Bryan that I said I was going to do for his birthday.

So here it is belatedly:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY AMAZING HUSBAND!!

He is so kind.

He is sensitive.

He is absolutely hilarious.

He makes me smile when I feel like I can't.

He is really positive.

He is the least judgmental person I know.

He helps me daily at being a better person.

He is a smartie-pants.

He is a hard worker.

He would do anything for me.

He is so handsome.

He treats me like a princess.

He places me first.

He is fun.

He is outgoing.

He is just plainly amazing.

I LOVE BRYAN NICHOLAS SEABORN!!!!!

Happy 27th birthday you old fart ;)

time FLIES!!!

2011-05-01T13:42:00.002-06:00

Bryan's 27th birthday is tomorrow!! I can't even believe it. What is even crazier, is that Bryan was 24 when we first met. I don't feel like its been that long since we met. Time really does fly.

Like the fact that Bryan and I have been married for 2 years this August.

I will try to do a post tomorrow that is in tribute of my lovely handsome husband. :)

Until tomorrow then!!

forgetful.

2011-04-29T15:35:00.001-06:00

Sometimes I feel like a complete idiot! I am so forgetful it's not even funny. I even have reminders to do something and yet, I feel like I can forget them so easily.

If I could make one thing better about myself, I would never forget when I am supposed to do something...

Something of Importance.

2011-04-20T13:00:00.002-06:00

Easter Break just began for me today! I now have a four day blissful weekend :)

Things have been tossed upside down recently at the Seaborn home.

-With us having a puppy, Tulip.

-Bryan having a new job, that couldn't have come at a better time (we are so blessed!)

-Finals coming up in about 2 weeks.

I can't help but reflect about my Savior, Jesus Christ, during this Easter Season.

I am going to attach a really personal essay that I wrote for my understanding the Bible class. What I wrote in it has only been shared with a few people. I hope that it doesn't get exploited or anything like that, but, in the SHORT essay, it shows how I have formed a relationship with Jesus Christ and my Heavenly Father through the trials I have faced.

Please read it all, don't skip it because it seems long, it is really important to me.

I was born in to a very religious Christian family. We went to church every Sunday and discussed religion on a daily basis. It was definitely one of the main focuses within our family. Going to church was not an option, which I was fine with because I really enjoyed going to church. We read scriptures daily together as a family, had family prayer together every night, and had discussions about Christ daily. I feel that with this upbringing, it was very easy for me to grow up believing in God. But I also realized that with this upbringing, it was very easy to mistake my parent’s belief in God for my own.

I have always considered myself a spiritual person. I say my prayers everyday, read scriptures every night, and try to develop my relationship with God. But this was not a result from my upbringing, even though it was a huge influence in my life, and a huge influence into why I do what I do today. I have had many experiences where my own faith in Christ has been tested. From these trials, I feel that I have gained the knowledge for myself to say that I do believe that my Redeemer Lives.

One of the trials I have had in my life that really sticks out to me on why I do believe the way I do occurred when I was only 10 or 11. I was an athlete, and my sport was gymnastics. I had been in gymnastics since I was two years old. It was my passion and it was so much fun for me! But things all changed when I got older. I was 10, and my gymnastics coach, whom had my family’s trust, and mine, molested me. This continued of the next year, and I was ashamed, my coach told me everything was my fault, and that if I told anyone that I would be in trouble and that no one would like me anymore. I bottled everything up inside until one day my mom had a spiritual prompting to ask me if my coach had been touching me inappropriately. Like a dam had just burst, I told my mom everything. We went to the police the next day. We ended up going to trial, and his original sentence was 96 years in prison with no parole, it was later reduced to 36 years.

Through this whole ordeal, my thoughts kept being turned to my Savior, and I first wondered, why would He let this happen to me? And the more and more I thought about it, the more upset I got. One day, I realized that trials are given to make us stronger people and that because this happened to me, and because I spoke out about it, that this man could never hurt anyone ever again. And I felt like a stronger person that was closer to my Heavenly Father, as well as Christ. This trial also made me think about Christ’s ultimate sacrifice for me, the Atonement.

The Atonement covers everyone, because of this, we can call be forgiven of our sins. But through my trial I also learned that the Atonement does more than forgive me of my sins when I repent, but it can heal people and make them whole. When Christ suffered in the Garden of Gethsemane, he felt every pain, every joy, every thought, and even every emotion that I have felt, along with everyone else. Knowing that, it made me realize that I am never alone in this world. That Christ has felt everything that I have, and that allowed me to heal, and to grow closer to Him.

This ordeal also allowed me to see that Christ can help you through people here on earth. I grew closer to my family, my friends, everyone who supported me through this trial. And I can honestly say, I feel like they were heaven sent to me, and they helped me heal as well.

There have been many more trials that I have happened upon in my life so far, and I know that there will be more. But I can say that they have and will bring my closer to my Savior, the one who died for me, and loves me more than I can comprehend. I do believe that my Savior died for me, and that he loves everyone on this earth. I know that He lives, and will never desert me. Going through trials allowed me to develop my own testimony of my Savior, and I thank him for that everyday.

If you read this all, thank you.

Meet Tulip

2011-04-13T15:44:00.002-06:00

I have been putting off this blog post for a while for multiple reasons.

1. we almost sold her because I didn't think I could handle it.

2. I could only do this while she was sleeping, and usually I do homework then, but this time I am free.

So, Tulip is our new little puppy! She is a morkie, which is a maltese and yorkie mixed. :)

When we got her, she was 8 weeks old and weighed 1 lb 8 oz. Now she is 10 weeks old and weighs over 2 lbs. hah. She is a cutie.

She pees a lot, and poops an outrageous amount everyday. She is hyper or she is sleeping. She loves food.

Here she is :)

?

2011-03-21T13:37:00.002-06:00

I am working on being more positive. I can complain a lot, and I realized that I need to stop!!!!

So, here I go to being more positive!

School has been busy, lots of tests and assignments coming up. But the feeling you get when you have finished your test knowing that your have done your best is awesome! So, that is what I am loving about this week.

I am watching my parents dogs right now and they are CRAZY!! But they are cute!!!

Spring Break

2011-03-14T14:36:00.003-06:00

Last week was my spring break. It was so relaxing! I read 2 books, that had nothing to do with school, and it was awesome! :)

I read Linger by Maggie Stiefvater, the second book in a trilogy.

I also read The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson.

Both were very intriguing and there were times where I could not put the books down.

But now I'm back to reality (oh there goes gravity), sorry for the Eminem shoutout hahaha.

School started back today and man, am I feeling it!!!! Already back to the homework (which was expected). I hate how being away from school for a week makes me not want to go back.

Anyways, I want to challenge my readers (the very few) to keep a personal journal. A journal where you can put your innermost feelings. I can tell you that having a place to write out your feelings can really help you sort them out. I mean, a blog is great, but I don't post my innermost feelings on it because everyone can read it! You don't have to write in it everyday, but when you do write in it, it is very therapeutic.

ps. I'm sorry if I use too many commas, I have never been good at grammar or stuff like that. :)

FHE!

2011-03-08T08:44:00.001-07:00

3 weeks in a row!!

And also, can I just say that I love Bryan Nicholas Seaborn with all my heart.

Man. I do. And also, I miss all my friends in Utah...I really want to see them!!!

Monday night FHE!

2011-03-01T06:49:00.002-07:00

So, Bryan and I have been working on doing Family Home Evenings on Monday nights, and we have not been perfect, BUT, we have done it like 2 weeks in a row now! haha. I know that doesn't sound like a big deal, but, for us it kinda is.

I can tell you that it brings the Spirit in to your home, and makes the night feel completely different. :) I love FHE!!!!

Also, Bryan was in Vegas last week for work, and just left again this morning. So, I am feeling kind of alone. But it is okay, I will be hanging out with my beautiful family until Bryan gets back!!

So, for FHE, I had the lesson. I read from 1 Corinthians 16: 8-12.

Give it a look, because it made me realize that the Lord's hand is in everything we do, and that we need to continuously thank Him.

That is all for now!

never know what to name these things

2011-02-22T20:40:00.002-07:00

okay, so I guess my blog will just stay the way it is because I have no idea how to change it up.

im still accepting offers for someone teach me....pretty please?

This past week and a half has been WACKO!!!! I had something due everyday last week, and two tests yesterday, and one today! But now I can finally relax (kind of).

Bryan is going to Las Vegas for work this week (wed-fri) and next week (wed-fri).

I am really going to miss him while he is gone. :(

anyways, I am tired and want to sleep now.

goodnight.

help?

2011-02-19T13:29:00.000-07:00

I want to make my blog cuter, but have no idea how to do it...

any one wanna tell me how?? Thank you :)

Valentine's day

2011-02-14T17:01:00.002-07:00

So many people hate this holiday! I used to be that way, but secretly I didn't like it because I wanted someone to spend it with, and because I didn't I felt like I had to hate it.

PEOPLE, DON'T BE LIKE ME!!!! Enjoy this day! Show love towards everyone! If you don't have someone, spend time with your family, or your siblings, or your friends. Just people you love in general!!

I hope everyones day was amazing!

Love you all!

Fringe

2011-02-05T10:53:00.002-07:00

Okay, I think it is time for me to admit that I have an addiction. This addiction is to the TV show Fringe.

It all started in November of last year. My dad had the first season of Fringe and told Bryan and I that we needed to watch it. So we began watching it, and with every passing episode I fell in love with each of the characters. Especially this man:

Walter Bishop. :) He is the craziest, yet most sincere and sensitive man on television.

After we finished season 1, I asked Bryan for season 2 for Christmas, which he got for me! :) We began season 2 basically after I opened it as a present. Bryan also purchased season 3 on itunes so I could watch it until we caught up to season 3 that is on TV now.

And holy crap, this addiction is AMAZING!! Every Friday night at 8pm central time, Fringe comes on FOX and Bryan and I watch it live. (mostly because it got moved to friday night, aka the death spot, and we don't want the show to be cancelled. btw, it was the #1 show in its spot on TV for the past 2 weeks, and it is likely to be renewed YAYAYAYAY :D)

I am going to post pics of my other favorite characters:

Agent Olivia Dunham and Peter Bishop. GAHHH I love them so much.

This show is amazing, and it is one thing that I think it's okay to be addicted too.

So if you are looking for a TV show to get into, watch Fringe. But start from season 1. The character development is simply the best I have ever seen.

simplify

2011-02-04T15:04:00.002-07:00

I was thinking the other day, sometimes I wish I didn't have technology like my iPhone. Don't get me wrong, I love my phone . But I think about how simple my life would be if I didn't have it.

I mean, I will be watching a TV show, and on my phone playing a game at the same time. Why am I not satisfied with just watching the TV show? Why do I have to be doing something else???

I really want a brick of a phone, that can only call or text people. (but then I know I will miss my iPhone)

I think I need a break from my phone or something, or from technology all together.

I need to simplify.

AR

2011-01-31T15:35:00.002-07:00

Bryan and I have been super busy since my last post! Bryan with work, and me with school! I feel like it will never end!! ahh!!

I always wish that the weekends were one day longer. Let's all vote to make every weekend a three day weekend, mkay? Awesome, great!

Also, my little sister, Annie-Rose Robinson, had her three song release party last night!! You are probably thinking, "Becca, why did AR (easier to type than her full name) have a party for 3 songs?"

Well, she went to LA to write/record/produce these songs with a legendary producer named Tommy Henrickson. He has worked with kesha in this past year...and alice cooper. He also worked with lady gaga. Anyways, she had a party to release these 3 AMAZING songs to the public! And probably 100 people showed up to support her! It was really really fun.

If you wanna listen to her stuff go here:

they are the ones that say new next to them. but give them all a listen.

my little sister is BOSS!!!!!!!!!!

This picture is from 2008, but i love it :) me and AR!

confessions of a primary teacher.

2011-01-18T18:29:00.003-07:00

Bryan and I were primary teachers in our first ward here in Tennessee. We taught the 7 and 8 year olds, and let me tell you, they are crazy..BUT I love them all so much. We had the experience to see 2 of our primary kids get baptized on Saturday, and it was so amazing. We taught them for 6 months, and watched them grow (or still act like little kids) either one really. But it meant SO much to see them take that step in their lives.

Also, there is a boy in our class named Demytri. He is 10 years old, he is confined to his wheelchair, he can't talk, he can't walk, but he is perfect. Perfect in every way. Dema (his nickname) and his mother are from Russia. They moved to the United States to get better medical care for Dema. He was diagnosed with brain cancer when he was a baby, and had a portion of his brain taken out. He has proved all the doctors wrong that said he wouldn't live as long as he has. He has also proven them wrong by showing how much progress he has made in learning, and understanding people.

Dema has these big blue eyes, a beautiful smile, and makes me happy every time I see him. He fills my heart with love and the Spirit. I never knew I could love a child as much as I love him, but I do. He has put my whole life into another perspective.

When ever he came into primary, he would always be in a bad mood, and I would say, Dema!!!! How are you?? He would roll his eyes at me, and just give me attitude, but 5 seconds later, he would be holding my hand, and hugging me, and wanting me to play with his toys that he brought to church.

I miss Dema a lot. I don't see him as much anymore, now that I am not in his ward, but when I see him, I can't help but smile and be so happy that I have been given a blessing such has him in my life.

Working with Dema was a blessing, and I couldn't be more thankful.

2011-01-14T16:41:00.001-07:00

homework has consumed me already. this is going to be a long semester.

BUT. A good one.

first day of school, first day of school!!

2011-01-12T20:03:00.002-07:00

I always think of Finding Nemo around this time and his excitement for his first day of school. haha, so cute. But anyways, today was the first day of school for the winter semester! I don't know exactly how well I will do this semester compared to last but, I will try!!

My schedule looks like this:

MWF:

8:00 am: Kinesiology

9:00 am: World History to 1500

11:00 am: Intro to Philosophy

TTH

12:30 pm: Understanding the Bible

2:00 pm: Aerobic Walking

3:30 pm: Elementary Statistics

It will definitely be a harder semester and bigger workload than last semester, considering last semester I only took 13 credits, and this semester I am taking 16.

It was a good first day back, I saw a few of my friends that I haven't seen since last semester, and enjoyed my first day of classes.

We will see what this semester's future holds.

I am exhausted though, time for me to go to bed, I have been up since 6 am.

Sunday :)

2011-01-09T19:58:00.002-07:00

I got the video from Sam Cram's blog! love her :)

Just watch. It will make you smile.

our mean neighbor

2011-01-06T15:40:00.002-07:00

Well...it all started when we moved in. Every night, we would hear really loud bass from our neighbor downstairs, for hours on end. It was so loud that it shook our kitchen table, the floor, me in the couch etc.

So after 2 weeks of enduring this, Bryan finally went down to meet our neighbor and just tell him that he needs to turn his bass down, in a nice way. Well the guy never answered. We decided to leave a really nice note. After we left it, we never heard bass again. We figured that was the end of it.

Then we got a note 3 days ago from our downstairs neighbor that said something along the lines of this: "The bass is on the lowest level, so it shouldn't be a problem. But keep in mind the walls must be really thin because it sounds like you are constantly stomping on the ceiling, and its louder that our TV/Phone/And people talking etc. So please try to be more careful"

We get the note, and Bryan goes down to talk to him again. The guy doesn't answer the door. So Bryan writes a really nice note again. And he thanked him for turning the bass down. He also explained that we aren't stomping all the time. And that we hear our upstairs neighbors walking all the time. But that we would try to be more careful etc.

Bryan went outside to leave the note and runs into the guy! Well, bryan was sooo nice to him and this guy was SO rude. He told bryan that "he has said everything he needs to say", "that we stomp all the time" blah blah blah. Just a really rude guy.

And just so you guys know, we don't wear our shoes around the house, we NEVER stomp around etc, he is just hearing us walk around occasionally. And there is NO way us walking around is louder than his tv etc.

This guy is just mean....ugh. I don't like someone being mad at us when we did nothing wrong... oh well, all we can do is kill him with kindness.

2011

2011-01-04T07:56:00.005-07:00

Holy crap!! It is 2011...I don't know how time flies so fast, but it does! Hopefully this year is an amazing one like 2010 was. I can think of reasons why it will be.

-I turn 21 (kinda cool)

-Bryan and I will be married for 2 years in august of this year (CRAZY)

-My sister Ashleigh, graduates this May.

-I will get another year of school under my belt

-Bryan is getting paid now, so thats always a plus!

-We have our own place, that we love (minus our mean neighbor...I will post about that story later)

I am sure there are more reasons...but those are all I can think of right now. I am also trying to come up with some new year resolutions. Yeah, and if I wanted one of them to be eating right, I definitely got the new year off to a smashing start...not.

Yesterday, I ate a burger at sonic, and the kicker, a red velvet cheesecake blast. SOO good. now, definitely not good for you. But, it tasted heavenly. I recommend it to everyone. So, set aside your goal to eat healthy for one day, and enjoy this treat! :)

Bridal Shower

2010-12-29T15:37:00.003-07:00

Today I went to a bridal shower. I love bridal showers. They remind me of my own, and allow me to reflect on those days before I was married.

I remember feeling anxious, excited, nervous, happy, and everything in between. It was a wonderful time in my life.

The point where you just want to be married already, to your handsome husband-to-be. Also the point where you look back on your life and realize it will never be the same. That your life is going in a new direction, but a better one.

ahh, the memories. to all my ladies out there who are not married (that read this). Please let me know when you get engaged/have bridal showers/ etc. That way, I can celebrate with you, and be there when you create those memories of your own.

thanks :)

Green Card

2010-12-28T14:41:00.000-07:00

3 hour drive to Memphis Tennessee, for a 10 minute interview....HAHA. Cake. It was the easiest thing ever, and I could not be happier about it.

This interview allowed bryan to get a Green Card ( if we passed...and we did)

So, in 3 weeks, bry will be rocking his green card, and we will be 100% legal.

YAY!

Mysterious Ways

2010-12-20T18:48:00.003-07:00

I was listening to some music on my computer, and this song came on. These lyrics are simply inspiring.

"Don't let your lights go down

Don't let your fire burn out

'cause somewhere, somebody needs a reason to believe

Why don't you rise up now?

Don't be afraid to stand out

That's how the lost get found

The lost get found"

"The Lost Get Found" -Britt Nicole

Then, this song came on. Another amazing song with inspiring lyrics.

"I don't know how the stars hang
Or how there's night and then there's day
I dont know how you spoke into the black
And made it all obey

All I know is the bleeding in my heart
And the healing in your touch
All I know is that you gave everything
So let that be enough
'Cause it's all I know

I don't know how your love works
How you cover me in grace
I don't know how you swallow all I am
When I can't stand my taste

All I know is the bleeding in my heart
And the healing in your touch
All I know is that you gave everything
So let that be enough
'Cause it's all I know

I can't explain your mystery
But I know the answer

All I know is the bleeding in my heart
And the healing in your touch
All I know is that you gave everything
So let that be enough
'Cause it's all I know"

"All I Know" - Matt Wertz

The Lord works in mysterious ways, and knows exactly how to speak to us as individuals. For me, what I needed was some inspiring music to lift my spirits, and bring me closer to Christ, my Savior.

I love the gospel of Jesus Christ. What a blessing to be a part of it.

Fabric for curtains/pillows for couch :)

2010-12-16T08:09:00.002-07:00

The first picture shows the pillows that are going to be put on my couch :)

The fabric with red, blue, green, yellow circles is going in the living room.

The black, grey, yellow, will go in our bedroom!!

I am so excited!! Seriously. The color theme in our kitchen/living room is red and turquoise. That theme of colors will go into the living room as well. Also there is a reoccurring theme of cute birds around the house! :) I can't wait till everything is finished!!!

I will take more pictures when I am done with decorating :)

pictures of the condo so far!

2010-12-16T08:05:00.001-07:00

We began moving in yesterday Here are some pics... now I am not done with decorating, there are no curtains etc

As you can see, we are not done yet. I still have a bedroom with nothing in it but our trash... haha (the arch hallway leads to that bedroom). I am going to do a separate post with curtain fabrics :)

Dear World

2010-12-14T14:14:00.002-07:00

I understand that I look young, and I usually get to that daily. BUT today was the worst. I am fabric shopping with my mom, and this lady says: "So, are you guys on a mother daughter outing?", We reply "Yes, we are!", lady then says, "I see you have a wedding ring on..." "Yes, I am married, have been for 1 year and 4 months", Lady "Oh, my I thought you were 12".....

TWELVE??? REALLY??? IM TWENTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ahhh;faej ra;sfjds;kf ja;lsdj

thank you for the reminder world.

thank you so much....ugh.

Not-so-sincerly,

Becca

PS. These daily reminders could stop at anytime, and I would be happy.

:D

2010-12-13T17:20:00.002-07:00

So many good things are happening right now!! We got great news today. Bryan's employment authorization got approved. This allows him to have a job and get paid! He just has to go get his social security number, then we are good to go! We also have an interview on December 28th, for Bryan's visa, if we pass that, then Bry is able to stay in the states for a long long time!! :) Then he can eventually become a citizen!! This is awesome!!

Also, we close on our condo tomorrow!! Which means it is officially ours!! :) We are going to start moving things in tomorrow! :)

Also, it snowed all day Sunday, and made the roads pretty bad here, but no worries, we are all safe here!!

Still need to find curtains for the house!

Also, I am working on a project with my mom and sister. We are making Christmas stockings for our hubbies!! :) It's a tradition in my family for everyone to have homemade stockings. My mom's stocking was made for her by her great aunt Cressie (who by the way is turning 100 in january, and I am going to San Diego to join that party with her! ) my dad's was made by our grandma, and all of my sister's and I's stockings were made my my grandma as well. We thought we would bring the boys in on the tradition! Everyone on my moms side of the family has them too!! They are super special, I have had mine ever since I can remember!!

Oh man, we are loving life!!

ahh, relaxation

2010-12-11T10:30:00.002-07:00

I am done with my fall semester at belmont! I survived. haha. It was awesome! My last final was on friday!!! :) Now, Bry and I can focus on getting our stuff ready for the big MOVE! This big move is occurring wednesday next week. We are so excited to finally have a place of our own again! It was great living with my parents, don't get me wrong, but....let's just say, that we are ready to move.

shout out to ashley: I am going to sew my own curtains for the condo. If I can do it, i will feel accomplished. :)

also, I am excited about decorating the place. :) I promise I will take pictures and post them on here and facebook for the world to see :)

that is all for now.

Finals are almost here!

2010-12-05T16:42:00.002-07:00

So, this week, I have school on monday/tuesday. Then I take my finals on friday the 10th. Then I am done until January 12th!!

Crazy!

Also, we were supposed to move into our new condo this week. But things are getting pushed back a bit. I promise to take some pics of our new place. I only have 2 pics of it now, and it was when it was the model home. So these pics of the condo do not reflect how it will actually look when we move it because we have different furniture etc. but here is what it looked like as the model home.

I love this guy, a lot!!! :) he treats me like a queen. I couldn't be happier!!

Thanks Giving

2010-12-01T13:56:00.002-07:00

I have so many things to be grateful for, seriously.

My husband, my family, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, the Atonement, repentance, the Spirit, being able to attend school and learn, babies (no. we are not having babies for a while, but I am still thankful for them), Christmas time, being able to walk and drive, chocolate, frozen yogurt, charleston chews (YUM), the fact that I have a bed to sleep in and a roof over my head, this WORLD.

"Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room

Memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home
Remember the footsteps, remember the words said
And all your little brother's favorite songs
I just realized everything I have is someday gonna be gone"

Tay swift's song "Grow Up"

I am thankful for the knowledge I have of knowing that families are FOREVER. That Bryan and I will never be apart, even after this existence.

I am also thankful for Bryan's amazing family :)

And lastly I am thankful for my Savior, Jesus Christ, and the love he has for me.

stress!!!

2010-11-18T20:47:00.002-07:00

Man, it is that time again....and when I say time, I mean week. And when I say week, I mean the busiest week of my life. And the sad thing is, is that this week has not even occurred yet. It is the week after thanksgiving. EVERYONE of my teachers decided to make something due that week. SO...i am frantically stressing now and trying to get most of it done before thanksgiving break. Because who wants to do work over break?? not me! And also Bryan's parents are coming in town the day after thanksgiving. I want to be able to give them my undivided attention without school being in the back of my mind.

So this is how my busy week ( after thanksgiving) looks:

November 29- Dec 3:

Monday: Peer critiques due for my speech class.

Tuesday: Research paper due for history and Lab due for my health class

Wednesday: Computer profciency test from 9am-12pm, biology presentation, then at 6:30 i have to watch a 3 hour long movie for history class

Thursday: Critique due for my history class...

Friday: nothing.

I cannot wait for it to be over.

In other news, I can't wait for Thanksgiving! :) And for Bryan's parents to come! I just wish I didn't have so much stuff going on with school...

Oh well, it will all work out!!

We have a condo! and Hilary is leaving in a week...

2010-11-12T14:57:00.003-07:00

We just bought a condo!! Ahh! We finally have our own place here in Tennessee! It is super cute and awesome!! I am so excited!!!

Hilary Collins is leaving to go on her mission in a week. (maybe less than that now)

I am so excited for her to spread the gospel to the people of Argentina!! She is going to be the most AMAZING MISSIONARY EVER!!!! I love her so much! And I wish I was a person in Argentina so that I would get to see you all the time. I am going to miss you hilly!!!!!

official

2010-11-05T17:38:00.001-06:00

I officially declared my major today!!!! I am an exercise science major!! I am seriously so happy to have picked my major and to know it is the right one for me!!

Relief. :)

Halloween

2010-10-29T19:30:00.003-06:00

Halloween should be my favorite holiday because it was the night I met my future husband. :) He was dressed as a doctor and I was dressed as a ninja turtle. We were eating at the village inn (classy right?) and the story goes from there. But, it's not my favorite holiday. I would have to say my favorite holidays are (in order) : Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter. Why? Because for Christmas we celebrate our Savior's birth. What an amazing thing to celebrate!! Thanksgiving is a time for us to get together with our family and remember how important gratitude is. :) And Easter because we remember our Savior dying for us and celebrate his resurrection! Which is an amazing thing and I am thankful for the Atonement everyday.

But anyways, I hope everyone has an amazing and safe halloween!!! :) what are you guys being anyways??

driving...

2010-10-22T17:23:00.002-06:00

So, I was in the car with my mom, and I noticed a man driving his car with his headphones in. This is not the first time I have noticed someone with headphones in their ears while driving a car. HONESTLY??? Okay, so it's one thing if you are using your headphones as a handsfree way to talk on the phone, and for that I commend you. But if you are listening to music through headphones while driving, I want to bonk you in the head!!!! How aware can you be of your surroundings if one of your 5 senses is being blasted with music?? Tell me how a person with headphones in can hear an ambulance driving by, a car horn honk, or a police car siren? I mean, yeah you can see it, but you don't really look for that stuff if you don't hear it first. Don't get me wrong, I blare music in my car when I am driving, but at least i can still hear what is going on around me.

I just don't think it is safe to do what i just talked about....

i had to get it off my chest.

thanks for reading :)

honesty

2010-10-21T09:53:00.003-06:00

Okay, so I get home from school yesterday, everything seems great. I then am asked to take our dogs outside to go potty (you have to go with them and take them on a leash so they don't run away) and I walk by my new (well, new to me) car and what do i see? SOMEONE SCRATCHED MY SIDE VIEW MIRROR!!!!!! They did not even leave a note, or anything to apologize...I got so upset. So I decided that the world needs more honest people in it. I am not trying to stand on a soapbox here and seem better than anyone else, but there have been times that i have accidentally done something SO small to my parents cars and I still tell them about it because I feel so bad. Ex. I was parking at school and I accidentally scratched my dad's rim on the curb. As soon as I got home, i fessed up and felt awful. Another ex. I was opening my moms car door and accidently hit something with it, and there was the smalles scratch ever that no one would notice (but me) and i HAD to tell her because i felt so awful...

WHY COULDN'T SOMEONE HAVE JUST DONE THAT WHEN THEY HIT MY CAR??? I mean honestly, an apology is really all I wanted. I wouldn't have even really been that mad at the person.

Oh well, there is nothing I can do now about the situation. I should post a picture of my car haha. It is a 2007 Honda Fit. I named it Spike. Only because it is really ironic. My car is like the size of a mouse. haha

Anyways, I am not trying to seem high and mighty by explaining what I did when i messed up my parents cars, I was just hoping that the person who did it to my car would have the same courtesy. But life isn't fair and never will be. Time to move on!!

Have an amazing blessed day!!!

-Becca

what?

2010-10-20T15:17:00.003-06:00

Every time I click on the "new post" button, all of my thoughts leave my brain. I am not kidding. And it drives me nuts.

Well, I am working on my speech outline at the moment. Haven't gotten very far. I chose my topic, it's about Cheesecake. I know, I know, it sounds lame, and also has nothing to do with the American Obesity epidemic..well, kinda cause it causes it (ps. thank you for the ideas, it made me happy that you guys even commented on my post to try and help me) but I LOVE cheesecake.

So, I am gonna talk about when it originated (ancient greece, like 776 BC) how it came to be the way it is now, how its made, whats in it, etc.

Soooo, I hope it goes well. We will see :)

have a great day everyone!

inspiration

2010-10-13T13:24:00.002-06:00

Inspiration really comes from everything. It comes from my husband, my family, my friends blogs that I read, books, technology. I mean...everything. So, because it comes from everything, I need your help.

I have to give an informative speech in like, a week and a half. I NEED to pick a topic ASAP. It basically is a speech where I talk about something and inform the class about something for like 6 minutes. Examples of other peoples speeches: pizza, the art of compliance, fashion at my school, christmas eve traditions, the blues, etc. I do not know what I want to do.

I have had 1 suggestion from a high school friend, but I need some more suggestions. So if you have one, leave a comment with your suggestion... :) Thanks friends!

stressed

2010-10-07T15:44:00.002-06:00

I was so stressed about my history Midterm that I took today. I went to class, was freaking out inside, but when I got the test, I knew everything! I am so relieved that it is over, and that I can relax....for a bit. :)

This weekend, Bryan and I are babysitting 2 boys from my ward. They are 8 and 11. They are the sweetest kids and so cute!! We have them from friday afternoon to Sunday evening!! It should be fun!

i suck at this

2010-10-04T16:29:00.002-06:00

I really should keep this thing updated more! I swear I am going to try harder.

School:

School is great, I love all my classes. I will tell you why.

Weight training:

-I have a good friend in that class now. I eat lunch with her, it is always fun. She always has interesting stories.

-I feel like I am actually getting stronger, not like superman strong...but you know, I feel like progress is being made.

-I am actually starting to enjoy my workouts. I also might be starting to enjoy running... nothing serious though.

Biology:

-I LOVE SCIENCE. Oh my goodness. I really do.

-I am getting good grades, like WAY better than when I was at BYU, so I feel pretty good about myself.

-I am enjoying learning about DNA synthesis and protein synthesis.

-But this love for science does NOT mean I am going to change my major to biology. no freaking way.

History:

-I have always enjoyed history. So you know, it's a fun class for me.

-My teacher loves me, we talked for like 10 minutes after class because she overheard me saying that I was married. She was married at 15...CRAZY! Oh and she likes hockey.

-But just because she likes me does not mean that her tests will be easy. I have a test in this class this thursday...kinda worried.

Health and Fitness:

-well...this class, I could do with out. really really boring.

Speech Class:

-I HATE THIS CLASS. But one of my best friends from high school is in it with me, so it isnt too bad.

-I HATE PUBLIC SPEAKING, and i have to speak in this class....

-IT IS A REQUIRED CLASS...LAME-O. Oh well, my teacher is awesome though.

Life in general is great! I think i have finally decided my major to be Exercise Science. And I am so pumped to finally kinda know what I want to do with my life...school wise.

Also ps. I scared Hilary Collins really bad this week. really funny. :)

ALSO PS. I wanna come see hilly give her farewell talk. I swear I am trying to figure out a way to get there.

General conference was this weekend. Absolutely fabulous. I love hearing such amazing messages of love, guidance, and direction. Our Prophet Thomas S. Monson is so amazing and I love him so much! I also love the apostles as well. I just love church in general. :)

That's all for now folks.

tumblr...

2010-08-10T08:59:00.001-06:00

i have a tumblr that I update more than this...i know i know, I SUCK at blogging. Seriously. but here is my tumblr link:

http://beccajoan.tumblr.com/

blahblahblah

2010-03-30T18:19:00.003-06:00

So, I am super excited for this weekend!!! There are a lot of reasons why, which I will list for you (in no specific order) :

1. Conference

2. Easter

3. Going to Edmonton to see my Nephew get baptized

4. It is a 4 day weekend

5. Bry and I are getting iPads...which we will hopefully pick up on monday

Seriously, I am pumped. I can't wait to hear the Prophet's words and his counsellors. And to gain more direction in our lives. I can't wait to seem my precious niece and my handsome nephews!!!

Also, Bryan and I bought tickets to go to Nashville and visit my family in the summer!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!! ahh. I love seeing my family so much! They mean the world to me!

And also if you haven't read the book "The Last Song" by Nicholas Sparks...READ IT.

Education

2010-03-26T21:59:00.002-06:00

I miss school. I hope that I can go back soon. I forgot how much I enjoy learning. And I have NO idea what I want to do with school. What will I major in? What classes will I take? I wish I knew. I guess I will just have to pray it out and see. You see, I face a slight delima, which is that one day I wanna be the best mom there is, and that isn't something you take at school...soooo what do I take? I don't even know what I like....well I do, just not with school.

School, it's almost been a year and I can't wait to meet again.

Sincerly,

Bex

I love church

2010-03-21T21:13:00.003-06:00

Today in church we sang "Families Can Be Together Forever" and it almost made me cry. Why? Because, I feel so happy knowing that because Bryan and I married in the Temple that we will be together forever. Being married in the Temple was one of the most beautiful and sacred moments in my life and I honestly will never forget it. That song just reminded me about how important Temples are and how important Temple work is. I love the Gospel so much.

Anyways, there is this song I really love by a kinda unknown artist named Ross Copperman, I wish he was more widely known. His music is really beautiful. And this song is one of my favorites. Its called Glass. Just listen to this song and the words....beautiful!!! Love it!

It's been a while!!

2010-01-04T10:49:00.003-07:00

So, I haven't posted on here in AGES!! A lot has happened since then!

Christmas:

Christmas was great this year! Bryan gave me Band Hero and MacBook Pro! I was extremely surprised to say the least. He is SOOO Sneaky!!!! And I got Bryan 2 long sleeve t shirts, a, automatic car starter, and a pretty cool iphone alarm clock thing. haha. It was great! So after we opened our presents at our house, we went to Bryan's parents house and had Christmas Breakfast!! Which was delicious! And then we opened some presents there! One of the gifts we got was a vacuum cleaner!! Which we needed badly. It was a great morning!!

Well, Christmas night rolls around and that is when another adventure was started. Bryan and I drove 3 hours to Great Falls, Montana and stayed the night there. Early in the AM we flew from there to Atlanta GA. We then stayed there for the night. Then the next morning we went to the Altanta airport again and that is when we met up with my family!! I was SO happy to see them again! It had been a very long time, and it felt so great to be with them again...even if they are CRAZY!

We all flew from Atlanta to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic!!!!! Let me tell you, the heat, the beach, the sun, the ocean breeze....was VERY therapeutic. And much needed!!!

I can't upload pics yet, because I dont have my cord to do so....lame. BUT we met a famous person there, and we didnt even know it!!!! Her name is Dania Ramirez, she is on the TV series called Heroes. And her name on that is Maya. She also has a very cute dog (in real life) named Joey. And pretty much, I wanted to steal him. She was also in the 3rd X-Men Movie as Callista!! She fought Halle Berry. Pretty cool! But....We didnt knew she was famous till we left.....if we had known, we would have at least gotten a picture with her! lol

Anyways, a week and a tan later, we are now back in Lethbridge and I am freezing my BUTT off. Back to work tomorrow, on call till next week. GAY. But what can you do right??

We had a great new years in the Dominican, and we had many Dominican Experiences!!

Happy 2010 to all!!!!

We love you!!

-Bryan and Becca

miniscule update

2009-11-11T13:07:00.001-07:00

we still love life. just incase yall are wondering. :)

more to come later.

no subject

2009-10-17T11:45:00.002-06:00

I can never think of a title for these things...seriously. Cause if I think of a title, I feel i have to confine my post to that title...and I like writing whatever comes to my head, so here it goes!

We went to Utah last weekend, where we got to see my family and friends! And we got my winter clothing, which was needed this week!! It was so great to see my family! Seriously, they are so goofy and fun! And they make me happy! And it was SO great to see my friends! That reunion was so much fun. It was great having girl talk and just being together! I want to do that again!!!!

It has been freezing here lately! But it is warm this weekend!!! Which we are so excited about!

OH YEAH! Bryan had his first hockey game last night with his new team!! They won the game! And Bryan scored a goal!!! I was so proud of him haha, seriously. And his brother and dad play on the team as well! It was really fun to watch my husband play my favorite sport! lol, it also made him more attractive....lol. Im a loser, its cool.

And it was fun, I watched the game with my sister-in-laws hubby, Eric! Which was really fun! We talked the whole game and I got to know him better as a person! We talked about church, kids, how we met our spouses, life, basically everything. But it was really cool. oh, and when bryan scored his goal....Eric flashed him...it was hilarious.

Bryan and I love being married. We have learned SO much in just this short amount of time so far, its crazy to think what the future has in store!!!

-Bryan and Becca

Conference! and what bugs me at work

2009-10-06T17:58:00.005-06:00

-when i call someone to give them hours, and they don't call back.

well, that is the only thing that bugs me. haha. It is actually really great! I get to see bryan whenever I walk to the bathroom...and for those of you who know me....that is multiple times a day because my bladder is so small...lol.

So, Bryan and I have to give a talk in church on Oct. 25th....not looking forward to that. We don't know what our topic is yet. But, it would be awesome if we were supposed to talk about conference because, conference was AMAZING.

I think our favorite talk was by well... we had a few. First fave, David A. Bednar, he talked about how we need to express and show people that we love them. Not just in words, but in actions as well. And also that we need to consistantly show it. Also, he talked about sharing our testimony with the ones we love, and that we shouldn't ever feel awkward or embarassed to do it either. One thing he said that I really think is true and that we all could work on is this "What we know is not always reflected in what we do." Like, we may say stuff that we know, but we need to show that we know it too by being Christlike.

We also loved Dieter F. Uchtdorf's talk. He said that of all the things that we want to be known for, for being members of the church, it should be for being disciples of Christ. And we do that by keeping the commandments. And by loving others. He said that love should be the center of everything we do in our family, in our church callings, and in our livelihood. And my personal favorite quote "Love should be our walk and our talk". He then said that love is the power that initiates friendship, tolerance, civility, and respect.

Another fave quote from his talk: "We need to love God, for what we love determines what we seek. What we seek determines what we think and do. And what we think and do determines who we are and what we become."

One more thing he said that we loved: "Because God is love, the closer we are to Him, the more love we have for Him. Love is the measure of our faith."

I think that the main points of conference were: love, spiritual promptings, becoming closer to Christ, and more Christlike.

We loved conference. It was so uplifting and filled our home with the Spirit. :)

-Bryan and Becca

work partners

2009-10-02T23:32:00.003-06:00

Bryan and I are now work partners. Kind of. Basically, we just work for the same company. He deals with computers, finances, and people, as for me, I am still learning what I do. But it pretty much is great! The people I work with are so nice and funny. And they treat me pretty well. But...I am scared of my boss....because I have no idea if she is being serious, or joking with me...and that is kind of scary right now. And I think every time she yells my name to just ask me a question...I pee a little. But seriously.

Bryan and I have a new obsession: Flight of the conchords. If you have never seen an episode...wow, you better go watch some. it is so hilarious. Watch this clip, we about peed our pants. hahahaha

This show makes us happy. :)

Oh yeah, so, we are going to Utah on Oct 9thish...My parents will be there :) And Ashleigh has a solo so we get to see that! I am also hoping to see my friends! That would be awesome!!!

anyways, we just wanted to share that video...it is just hilarious.

night!

weekend report

2009-09-26T15:46:00.002-06:00

This week was pretty great! I got a job at the same place that Bryan works at, so we can ride together!! Same hours too!! I think I am going to like the job! The people there are so nice, I mean, Bryan works there, and his parents too!! :) I started on thursday but I haven't done anything that my job entails yet.

On thursday at work, I read a 208 page policy handbook....boring. haha But on friday, I went out with someone who does home care for the elderly and watched that. In order to do that on friday, I woke up at 5:50 and at 6:35 Bryan took me to meet the homecare person! It was an early morning for us both!! haha

But I am exciting to delver deeper into the job! Bryan is pretty excited too...;)

We are enjoying our time together, and slowly we are adjusting to living together! :) It is an amazing process.

one month anniversary!

2009-09-23T18:36:00.002-06:00

So, yesterday was our one month anniversary!! Holy crap time flies!! Seriously. We couldn't believe how fast this milestone came!!! But to celebrate, Bryan brought me home a white rose! He said, one rose for our one month anniversary!! It was so sweet!! :) I wrote him a little note. haha, not really that great compared to a rose, but hey, i tried and he liked it!!!

We had to go to walmart to get a few things for the house, but after that we went out to dinner! And it was so much fun! We loved spending time together!!!

And of course, to top the night off, we caught the tail end of the Toronto Maple Leafs preseason hockey game, and the Leafs won!!! It was awesome! We would watch hockey right? lol

I will start taking more pictures soon!!! i swear!! But great news!! The job search has ended!! I just got a job working where Bryan works as a scheduler!! My first day is tomorrow!! I will blog back, and tell you how it goes!!!!!

Weekends are fun

2009-09-15T19:16:00.003-06:00

This weekend was really fun for Bryan and I. We had our open house and my parents came to town! It was great!! :) So many people came to support Bryan and that was really awesome! I wore my wedding dress there, and that was kind of cool. Even though I start to feel claustrophobic in it sometimes.

We got Bryan's truck fixed this weekend! It needed it bad...it was SO loud. haha. But now it sounds like a beauty, and the AC was fixed as well!! :)

We got my kitchen aid mixer!!! Andwe got our bed all set up and stuff. My parents even went grocery shopping for us. That was flippin awesome.

We keep forgetting to take pictures of our place...partially because I (becca) think that I could always make it look better....so, you know. We will do it this week.

Well, lets see....cooking. ha. ha. ha. We are trying to cook meals...but have not been successful yet. We have made paninis, pizza (frozen), quesadillas (frozen)...and that is about it. lol Oh yeah, one time we had Hungry Man...but that was the first and last time. At that point in time we didnt have our pans or anything yet...so it was a last resort.

Anyways, we will put more pics up soon!

Married life

2009-09-10T13:48:00.002-06:00

So, we have been married for almost 3 weeks. It is amazing! The honeymoon was so much fun! We went to Cancun! Bryan got sick halfway through with some sort of flu, and he is still getting over his cough. We have been in Canada for a week!!

We moved into our cute basement suite on Saturday!! It has definitely been an adventure setting things up, getting furniture, buying food, and so on. We love our place though!!! :) I will be taking pictures of it soon, and I will post them!

This saturday is our open house here in Lethbridge, Alberta. My parents are coming to it!! They fly in tomorrow!! I am so excited!!

Bryan went back to work this week, so I have been trying to find a way to spend my free time...and boring time. My days crank out like this:

-wake up around 9ish

-eat breakfast

-watch tv for an hour or so

-skype my mom

-take a shower/get ready

-do something with Bryan's mom (on tuesday) or something with his sister (on wednesday)

-clean up around the house

-sit on facebook

- patiently wait for Bryan to get home...

-oh yeah, and job searching.

As you can see it is very eventful. But really, it is. I don't exactly know my way around here at all...so I don't use Bryan's car yet. But eventually I will.

Tonight we are buying Bryan some church pants because his got lost in Tennessee.

Anyways, I need to go get ready...

-Becca (and kinda Bryan..even though he is at work!)

yet again, i forgot.

But, I go to Canada in 4 days now!! :) I am so excited! Im there for a week!! A WHOLE WEEK!! When I think about that, I feel like I just won the lottery! I also feel like I won the lottery when I think about how lucky I am to have Bryan in my life. I mean, he could have had any girl...but he chose me! Measly old me. ;)

Ummm. planning is going good. i wont go into detail or my head will 'splode. I am boring my self right now. I need something to do. I am hungry. I miss bryan. Im hungry. really hungry.

sorry. i was just typing my thoughts as they came...obviously i am very hungry. i think ill go fix that now.

i completely forgot about this blog

2009-06-28T18:01:00.003-06:00

planning a wedding is stressful. But it's weird. i am starting to like things i never used to like...for example, kitchen appliances, plates, towels, cooking things, colors, decorations, and house stuff....its odd. lol But I like it.

Hmm, this summer...oh this summer, I love it. I go to canada to see my lover in 16 days. :) yay. and i get marred in like 2 months almost!!! YAY. I cant wait...seriously.

So this week, where I work, we are moving the whole office to another office. and i have been boxing things, and lifting things. i definitely didnt think that a heavy-weight-moving-woman would have been in my job description, but it is. SURPRISE! lol. oh its great.

I mean, that is definitely a deal breaker. ok not really, because I actually do love my work. Its great!

ok, well right now, my house is pretty much a circus of people. i gotta go, they are talking about me downstairs. BYE

But I am really excited for them. Umm, let me just say, that I am really tired...and yeah. But I will write in the blog, it may not be everyday, but i will sure as heck try.
