Christmas Vacation!!

Christmas was great!!! Here's how the whole thing went:

We got to my parents house at about 3. It was so nice to just be with my parents. Trevor got there shortly after we did, so we just sat and talked while Weston and I got our room together. Trevors doing some really cool stuff with his music, getting connected with some great people. It's exciting to be a part of it.

We had dinner that night, the customary Papa Murphys Pizza. I really love Papa Murphys! My family always has this one concoctions, vegitarian with chicken garlic. It's really very amazing.

After dinner we played a new game Trevor taught us. It's called Silent Football. It's all done with hand movements and keywords and noises. It was really funny! It's one of those games that always ends with everyone in fits of laughter. Mom didn't have the head for it. She would start laughing and never stop. It was histerical!

We did the Christmas Cantata. The normal Christmas Eve tradition. It's a singing/speaking musical piece that speaks of Christ's birth in the New World and the Old World. It's a beautiful piece of music written by Lex Diasivato (?).

Then we played games for hours, literally. We were up until 3 in the morning playing this new game a lot like Dominos. You match up tiles to make roads, cities and things like that. It was really fun! Weston won. It was nice. We played and laughed and talked. It was a lot of fun.

Christmas morning was fun. Mom and Janelle were up when I got up. They were looking at pictures from Christmas's past. The pictures were like a walk through memory lane. Pictures from when I played Mary in the reenactment of the birth story. Pictures of my father as Santa, while I still believed in him.

I got a new scraper, a new straightener, $40 gift card to Victoria's Secret (from my wonderful Husand!) I also got the amazing gift of two tickets to the show Wicked in April!!!!!! When I opened the present I start to cry and scream! It was pretty funny!

I was so disappointed when I thought that I wasn't going to get to go see Wicked when it came. The tickets went on sale and I was very upset about it. Weston and I didn't have the money to get them. But lo and behold! My mother bought them for me! It was one of the best Christmas presents ever!

All in all I had a great Christmas, a wonderful first Christmas with my new husband.

Christmas is almost here!!

With the state of the economy I have a very good idea that Christmas is going to be very slim this year. For the White family, we're all just pulling names from a hat for the gift exchange. Well Heather is pulling the names from a hat and telling us who is assigned to who. Thank you Heather for that lack of responsability for us! It's nice! It's going to be pretty fun because this is Weston and mines first Christmas together. We have 2 different ornaments that say 'Our First Christmas-2008'. I really like having that.
We started getting the Christmas decorations up in the apartment. We spent all of Sunday trying to get the tree working. We got one of those pre lit trees that are supposed to be 'easy' to use, helpful because we don't have to do much with it but set it up. Here's the thing though, they never work the way you want them too. We got it all set up and everything plugged in and over half the lights don't work. I just kind of stared at the tree like I was going to kill it! Weston then proceeded to take every light off of every branch so that we can put up new lights that actually work. What a novel idea, lights that work!
Oh well, tis the season not the kill you tree or hit the Santa outside of Walmart! :)

Crazy Wife-Loving Husband!

This past weekend was Thanksgiving as you all know. Weston and I went to his parents house to spent it with them and also hold the Open House for our wedding. Thanksgiving was great! His mother is such an amazing cook! She make Turkey, stuffing, gravy, pie, yams, all the traditional stuff! Her turkey was so good, it almost melted in my mouth while I ate it. My parents were also there so on Friday after turkey day we went to see a movie and went to the beach.
The movie we went to was Twilight, well mom and I watched Twilight. Weston and Dad watched Transporter 3. Now this was the 4th time I had seen Twilight. I absolutly loved it! All 4 times!!!! I think the relationship they created with Edward and Bella was perfect. The long shots with the camera capturing the intensity of the characters were amazing. I love Kristen Stewart, so that is always exciting. Plus I think Robert Pattensin (?) is totally hot! But my Weston bore through it with me. He went at midnight with me, waited in line and stayed with me the whole time. He was amazing!
The Open House was great! We were afraid I wasn't going to fit into my dress that night. We tried it on in the morning and it fit pretty well. Come 6:30 when I put it on though, it was a little tight. But it fit and I was able to fit into it. It was really great! There were quiet a few more people at this one then the Reception in Brigham City. Weston apparently is more popular then I am. But we got some really great gifts, so that was great.
His parents worked so hard on the Open House, doing the tables and the food and the decorations. I tried to help as much as I could, but there wasn't much I could do to help. Weston was a total trooper! He helped in every way he could, moving things, shoving thingsi nto the ground etc... I really married an amazing guy!
I'll post some pictures soon! Hugs and kisses!

Twilight/My Book/ Weston's Classes

This blog is about a few different things, hence the title. First TWILIGHT!!!!!! I'm such a fan of Twilight. I started reading it at the beginning of 07 and in 2 days I had read both Twilight and New Moon. It was so capturing and amazing that I sped through it! But since then I have felt like some kind connection with Stephenie Meyer because we both have a lot of things in common. We're both writers, specificaly vampire novels, we're both LDS, and now that I'm writing that I'm finding we didn't have that much in common, but I frickin' love her!!! But the new movie comes out and I'm so excited about going to see it. I bought tickets to Twilight last monday and there were only 4 showings left. Out of like 12 screens!! It was insane! Weston and I are going to be going right after work so that we can get a good seat. I'm pretty freaking excited!

I have started writing again. YEA!! I'm so happy that I've gotten back in the groove. Its been a few months because of the Wedding and what not. But now I'm back and I'm finding something interesting. I'm getting impatient! I want to get the book out faster then I am, but I can only write so much every day. It almost like I'm reading this book instead of writing it. The ideas have really started to come out and are just throwing me back into it. It's so exciting. Mom has started to give the first two chapters to people and I get a little scared because I don't know if people are going to like it. I worry because when I give my chapters to people to read I almost am giving myself to someone to read. It's weird, I know. But I should be done with Chapter 3 this week and hopefully a lot of chapter 4. Hopefully!

Weston is doing well in classes. He didn't know that the testing center at BYU closed at 4:00pm on Saturday. He had to do the test from Thursday to Saturday. And I'm sure you can guess, he got to the testing center late, 5:30pm late. The whole weekend we worried because we didn't know whether or not the teacher could get him in to take it on Monday. So no matter what we did, that loomed over us all weekend. I called him today on a break of mine at work to find out the verdict. He answered the phone and I immediatly asked, 'So, could you do it?' He pause for dramatic effect, then said 'I just finished it.' I seriously wanted to shoot him! But I was really happy that he didn't have take a 0 or have to take the class over because of it.

That's all for now! Thanks!

The first week of marriage

This first week of marriage has been everything and nothing like I thought it would be. The wedding itself was wonderful! I was so nervous the morning of, but it seemed that Weston was too because he got lost on the way to my sisters house where I was staying. The first time in our whole relationship that he got lost and it was on our wedding day. It was crazy! I was so stressed out the morning of the wedding that I had to keep reminding myself that it didn't matter and all that mattered was that we got there and were together. The temple wasn't going anywhere. By the time we got there my nerves really kicked in, but more because I was excited then actually nervous.
The ceremony was beautiful. When we went up into the room to have the sealing, we saw the family. Weston's family was sitting on the left and my family was on the right. I was suprised to see some of the people that I saw. But it was wonderful to see everyone there to support us and love us. What the sealer said was really great. He talked about being commited to eachother and showing that we loved eachother every day. I think it was really great advice. He also talked a little bit about physical intimacy, but I don't think he needed to. Weston and I could hardly keep our hands off each other. Yea, it's crazy. To quote my brother Garrett
" I have never seen any couple with more passion then you two."
Getting ready after the ceremony and dressing in my wedding dress I was so nervous because I didn't know if Weston would react the way I wanted him too. I did my makeup again and Danielle, who was amazing at my hair, fixed my hair and then I was ready. I stopped outside of the hall where Weston was. I did a quick peak around the corner and Weston was looking and jumped up to meet me. I pulled back and took one last quick breath then moved around the corner. He stopped dead in his tracks, did a really fast little dance jumping thing then came half running down the hall. It was so sweet! I loved it!
Our reception came and went in a blur, but I remember loving it. It was wonderful. The band was really good. They played awsome music and also made me sing. Yea . . . like I was excited about that. No. But it was fun. The whole thing was just great.
Our honeymoon was amazing! The Armstrong Mansion was amazing. I never wanted to leave. But truth be told I really liked the June Bride room better then the October Hallow. It was to dark in the October Hallow during the day. It kept me really tired all the time. We ate total junk food and I absolutly loved it! YEA!!!!!!!!!
But since coming home from the B&B I've been really stressed. Money, job, book etc . . . But the best thing about it all is that I get to wake each morning to my Husband/Bestfriend every morning and go to sleep every night in his arms. Having him hold me make me feel as if the world has stopped and nothing bad can touch me becuase he will fight them all off. He also does the cutest things! I think things are cute when they shouldn't be. Like him yawning and making the growling sound. The way he touches me everytime he walks by. It's all so sweet.
I went and used some of our gift certificates from Bed Bath and Beyond to get somethings for the bathroom. We needed a rug and a toothbrush holder and a new back brush. The bristles of our old one were starting to come out. That's a problem.
It's kind of weird to be buying things for our apartment. It feels so natural to me, but at the same time, I feel like I'm living in a foggy cloud right now. Those of you that are married must know how that feels.
