OUR house :)

My wedding thoughts today (see post below) Decorating our house!! I want this in our house! I found this painting on etsy. I just LOVE it! I really want it above our bed.

blogging. .. or venting?

hello! I have something to blog about. Mean people.
I work at sushi restaurant as a server and I love it! Most of the time. Most of the time I have polite customers! Today was my first A-HOLE day there. 5 straight hours of grumpy, disrespectful meanies! Most of the time I can just smile and ignore that type of behavior. . . But today was not one of those days. Haha! I'm pretty sure I gave a lot of unintentional death glares. I'm usually very talkative to every customer and but today I was very quiet. (So not me) Goal for next A-HOLE day. Smile and shrug it off. I will be more prepared for it next time.

On a happier note! I love planning my wedding. Although me and Ryan are wishing we were getting married next week instead of 3 and a half months from now! Haha! He's so great. . . He knows how much I love talking about all the plans so he always asked me questions about them and lets me get all weird and excited! Gosh I can't wait for all of you guys to get to know him. He's the coolest dude I have ever met. It's so hard to focus on anything else. I totally just have wedding on the brain. Today my wedding thoughts consist of how I want to decorate OUR house, our first dance, what to wear for our engagement pictures, and how we should have our kiss be in the temple. We've been practicing that one a lot. I just use it for a excuse to kiss a lot too. "Ryan lets practice our wedding kiss." haha! He doesn't mind.

Thanks for letting me vent my thoughts. I'm sure no one reads my blog but I like having an online journal to record my thoughts. Happy Spring! The sun is shinin!!!
