So- its been awhile since I last wrote anything- so lets see if i can fill in whats been happening...

We got a PIANO!!! I have been so excited and I play it the minute i come home from work. I can't wait to go home and get all my piano music back so i really have a lot to play!





And i decorated for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but i only have some of my Christmas pictures.

Eric just finished his last final of the semester yesterday, and is more than excited to have these classes finished, since one of these classes is the hardest class he will have to take for his major.

Now we are just waiting for Tuesday to roll around so we can go HOME to Seattle!!! We would have left after his final, but I have to work till Tuesday morning :( But we are still counting down the days and are so excited its finally the weekend!!

So me and Eric moved from our little one bedroom apartment in Provo to our FABULOUS 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment in Orem. We love our new place, there is so much light, and so much more space, and for me there is no mold : ) The only big downfall right now is the fact that we have been both so busy at work and with school and everything, we haven't quite had time to call the cable company. So we haven't been watching any TV, that means no Office, no Grey's Anatomy, no Wizards of Waverly Place, no Jonas Brothers... and sadly No football. Luckily we live like across the street from our friends the Cooks and they have an HD tv with HD channels, so at least for football we have been taken care of. And we were watching The Office and such on the internet, but sadly this week it has decided to go REALLY slow, so nothing will load. But we are actually enjoying no watching TV, we hang out with our friends more, we go on walks, we go window shopping. So instead of coming home and just sitting infront of the TV all night we are spending a lot more time together, which i love.

I just got to see my wedding pictures today and I LOVE them so much!! I cant wait to show everyone but i cant until i get the CD in the mail : ( But let me just tell you how beautiful they are!!

Other than that, this week Haylie came to Utah for EFY and tomorrow we are going to go to my uncles house for a 4th Party, with a blow up slip and slide, and fireworks. I will take pictures, my cousins rented it last year and had a lot of fun, so i cant wait!! Other than that nothing is new with me and Eric, we are just working and more working.

SO I was just checking out my blog and realized how much it sucks... well... at least not up to date. So i will add some pictures that we took in Utah at the end. We are now down to 19 days!!! Its going to go Super fast i think from here because there are so many things we need to do. Like next Monday we get our apartment which will be nice! Sadly the only furniture we have for it right now is air mattress that he can sleep on. But we will be deep cleaning the apartment before we move in because i dont trust other people cleaning. This is the last week of finals for Eric, but my finals start next week so there will be a lot of studying going on. Then May 6th we fly home and then that saturday we get married!! Crazy fast. I believe that is all that is going on in my life right now, Eric found out the other day that because we are getting married in the next couple of weeks and will be gone for so long, he cant work there...SO he will be looking for a job while i am at work. I think once we get back he can go in and talk to him about it, but we will see. Anywho, thats pretty much it! here are some of the pictures and i will do a better job of keeping this updated.

We went to Seattle this weekend and one of the things we did was take some fun pictures downtown. Here is a few that i Really liked.

I am getting a little overwhelmed with School, Work, and Planning a Wedding! There is SO much to do and not enough time!! I still need to get my dress altered, but i need to pick out Lace, get jewelry, get a veil, have a bridal showers, figure out what i am getting eric and our parents for the wedding gifts, write 2 papers, lose weight, figure out what i am getting eric for his birthday, study for finals, get everything done with work and the drama that goes on there and about a million other things. Its really stressful!! I have done a pretty good job and have only had a break down twice in the last 3 days. Eric has been there to make me laugh about the whole thing, so im glad he isnt taking any of it personally. Other than all that i am excited to get married and go home and go to st. george. Anywho its late and i need to go to bed i have a busy week ahead of me!

So I have been really excited about getting married but havent quite gotten into it yet. Until today. Me and my Bridesmaid Brittany went shopping today to find her a dress, and while out it was fun to look for hers, but we also stopped by and picked mine up, and i have kinda been worried about my dress because i need it altered and i have just been worried its not going to be everything i wanted. But it was SO much fun to put on my dress and look for veils and tiaras and shoes and jewelry and figure out how i wanted to add sleeves to my dress, so it doesnt look stupid. After doing all that i remembered how much FUN this is going to be and how much i cant wait! I loved going out and having a girls day, i Love ERic, but its also nice to be with girls and do girl things, like shop and talk about girl things. It was also nice because Britts married so it was nice to talk to her about EVERYTHING! I came home and was so excited to tell Eric everything i did and how much i cant wait! Also my parents told me that their wedding gift to me was a new bed, dresser and mattresses!! Which i was excited about because we were going to sleep on Erics Love sac, and the couch. And this week we got a little apartment that we can move into in April! Everything is coming together so nicely!! I want May to come like tomorrow BUT i also want to be skinnier and dont want to miss anything, so im glad i still have some time. Anywho thats all that is going on pretty much. Until Next Time.

So i was having a really bad day and i was tired and sick (headache, stuffy nose, sore throat) anyways so i was sick, and i was in a grumpy mood so i wasnt being very happy and nice to Eric. So he was trying to make me feel better and this is what he said (he doesnt know i copied it) It sounds like it came out of a movie, but nope it came from Eric :) This came out of an MSN conversation we had while i was at work:

Eric says:
here's the way i see my life right now

Eric says:
school is tough and i'm a bit worried about being responsible and becoming the patriarch of a family, but I have you, and every day I look forward to seeing you and being with you, and i look forward to finally marrying you and being able to spend every moment and every experience in life with you.

Eric says:
and all the bad things dont matter because i would rather spend hard times with you than easy times without you

YEP thats Eric, isnt that sweet? Just thought i would share!

So today is 89 days till I marry my best friend. Ahhh its so far away! I guess its a good thing because i still have to:

Get my dress altered
Find a veil
Get shoes
Jewelry for me and the others
Decide on the Cake
Pick out a Bouquet
Lose like lots of weight : )
Erics ring needs to be resized
Save More Money
Engagement Pictures

haha little things, but if you were with me last night they seemed like monsters. Poor Eric. Some of them already have dates to do this, like i have 2 bridal showers in March, and cake testing is in March, and i think we meet with our photographer in March, I am bringing my dress back down here because it will be cheaper to alter it in Utah rather than Seattle, at the same time i then can go get a veil and shoes. Bouquet i have to wait as well, I will bring Erics ring down here as well to alter it because its too big. And We are planning on taking our engagement pictures in the middle of March. And then we will send out our announcements. haha so there is still quiet a lot to do. But it is coming along.

On Sunday I was making cupcakes and i was coarsely chopping the white chocolate and accidentally cut my thumb... no just cut it, like sliced a chunk of it off. Yep its really pretty, so now i cant use my left thumb. Which when it happened i thought well this sucks, but at least its not my right. Well over the last couple of days i have changed my mind i have made a list of things i need my left thumb for

1. Buttoning my jeans
2. Washing my hair
3. Straightening my hair
4. Driving
5. Tying my shoes
6. Putting my hair in a pony tail
7. Texting
8. Changing the channel
9. holding Erics hand
10. Did i mention Buttoning my Jeans?

So I havent written down my New Years Resolutions SO here we go:

1. Of course, get in shape for wedding: ) (123 days 15 hours and 30 min)
2. No biting Eric ( he added that one it wont happen )
3. Read the Scriptures more

3. Earn Money for hillary's gifts

7. Get GLASSES

Ok so eric had some help from me : )

So Me and Eric flew home really early Saturday morning but because it was snowing so bad my work let me leave early and we headed up to Bountiful to stay with Erics Grandparents so we didnt have to wake up at the butt crack of dawn to get to the airport. So when we said goodbye at the airport we faced the Seattle Snow Storm and we didnt get to see each other again until Monday night : ( It was sad! Monday we had gingerbread houses, which was a lot of fun because it was a big competition, mine won the most realistic and eris won most likely to be seen in a mens magazine. haha After that we made houses at his house out of Gramcrackers and i learned just how much of a perfectionist eric is and let me tell you. im in trouble. It was tons of fun! After spending Christmas Eve with Erics family we spent christmas with mine.



Christmas was awesome because i got to talk to my little brother Donald who is on a mission in Panama. It was so nice so nice to talk to him! Then we had opened presents with the missionaries over and went to a movie, and had dessert as well. Day after Christmas was Eric's Dads birthday so we went out to dinner and almost got snowed in. Saturday was Lindsays Reception so we helped set it up, and found out that my ex Andrew is getting married on the same day as me!! When does that happen EVER?! Anywho, it was just a funny coincidence.

So Monday morning I had to leave to get back to Utah and Eric stayed in seattle. It has been the WORST week of my life!! I hate being away from him and i have been soon lonely and it just is no fun! SO i banned him from ever being away that long. I picked him up yesterday and couldn't be happier!

So now we are counting down the days to our wedding! You know since we are now in 2009!!
