The death of me

These donuts have been a big part of my life growing up... me and my dad could demolish a whole box of these in one morning... but we wouldn't for the sake of the next morning.
Loving the fact that my mom nor my sister enjoyed these as much as we did there was always just enough for the both of us... Last night we were safeway-in it up and I came across these donuts... These are very rare in california now-a-days... But i found them, bought them, and tried my hardest not to rip open the box and have some last night... so I had 2 this morning... might I say I'm in the greatest mood ever considering it was 7:00 in the morning

Takin a break...

Takin a break from theknot.com
I've been on the computer all morning... and using the theknot.com since we set our date for the wedding tryng to get ideas of what we should do...

so far the hardest part has been what colors we should use... i'm to the point where I am about to do grey, black, and ivory...

I could DEFINITLEY use some advice!
Never mind trying to find reception locations via internet... but ofcourse I do have Mike's AMAZING sister helpin out on the east coast... Her and floyd are lucky because if there's any tastings we're relying on their taste buds haha = )

My Zebra Shoes

I just wanted to make a tribute to my favorite pair of shoes in my closet... I thank Khol's for having them on the shelf... and

Candies for making them. These shoes have been hiking, to work, and just worn around town ALOT... Let's hope these shoes don't decide to try to leave me soon cause I don't know what I would do without them... haha

workin workin and workin some more

So i've been working everyday (so far) since monday... tomorrow i finish my hallmark job, then it's off to the dress shop to look at some wedding dresses... I made a friend at work who's getting married in 3 weeks and asked if she would like to join me (considering we're both off that day) and she totaly agreed so excited i don't have to go alone! saturday working, sunday CLOSED so NO WORK woo hoo! A day to veg out! Or clean the house... VEG OUT ALL THE WAY haha...
Then back to my working starting monday...

I can officially say that I'm excited for work all the time... I enjoy my new job VERY much! even though my feet ache and swell as well as my knees.. it's worth it. I'm starting to do what I love...

So today ...

Is monday... We had our first house guest yesterday! = )
One of mike's friends he met at "A" school and his fiance are new to town (brand new just pulled in last night) and we let them use the computer to do some house hunting then grilled some burgers and had a pretty good time. We really need to invest in a dinner table/coffee table or extra chair or something!

BUT NOW....

Some random pictures of our rafting trip a couple weekends ago...

The first night of camping...

Our friend Dan's dog anchor....

We took this one on the drive home...

And my fav. from when we went to "wedding rock" at Patrick's Point state park...

Before work

So it's friday and I'm trying to talk myself into getting ready and just going and finishing this giftwrap revision for hallmark at the now CVS... It's alot harder then you think...

But I've been thinking about this whole wedding thing... and how much huss and fuss goes into it. I mean the only thing I care about is WHAT IT'S ABOUT... the vows, two people coming together as one before their family and friends, making vows to eachother and promising to never break them... then afterwards celebrating by eating and dancing the night away ofcourse.
But the hardest part to our wedding... the family part...
Getting my family to understand why we want the wedding to be in Massachusetts... Why I dreamed (from the second I saw it) of having the ceremony in the front yard of his parents house in the garden with Mt. Wachusett as our backdrop... It's breath taking!
And it's not for another 2 years.
IDK... I've decided to write a letter to everyone explaining our reasoning... but i know, with certain people in the family, it's still going to be an issue...
That's what throws me off about weddings... It's about Mike and I and the vows and promises we are making to eachother that day...

I guess i'm just a little down just thinking about it... wishing that people could really just understand and accept it.

New job

So today I was hired at a salon/salon supply store... and it is going to be AMAZING!

But other then that... I was taking a look at some of our road trip pictures and stumbled across a couple that I absolutely LOVE and realized... These are most likely our "Engagement" photos = )

Happy 4th of July!

So it's been a while since I've been on...
I've been super busy job hunting and working for hallmark.

I did get hired to work for a company called vector marketing as a customer service associate... turns out I was trying to sale Kutco Cutlery to people... NOT so exciting after all.
BUT yesterday I had an interview at a salon/store called North Bay Salon... With this job I would get paid hourly PLUS commission for selling Bare Minerals make-up... but not only selling it I would get 15 hours of FREE trainning on learning about the product AND how to apply...
SO EXCITING! I have my second interview tuesday and the guy who interviewed me is only part owner of the company so thats why I have to meet with the other owner... Hopefully she likes me as much as he did!

But on another note... I've been looking around online at different locations to get married at in Humboldt county when I came across a place called wedding rock....
IT TOOK MY BREATH AWAY and that's just in pictures...
Tomorrow me and sticker are going to actually go see it for ourselves... be expecting pictures!!!

Just think beautiful look out over the ocean... and HUGE BEAUTIFUL redwoods behind you... and thats weddin rock~!!!
