Being Married And Other Things

Well, this is my first blog post since before Mike and I got married! Today is our two week anniversary, its been fun!! Our wedding day was basically PERFECT, the weather was beautiful, everything just worked out. Mike looked so handsome and I think I looked pretty good myself. We are still waiting for our pictures to be put up on the website. Our ceremony was amazing. I still think its weird that we are married! We had a lot of help with our reception where we ad ice cream floats, thank you to everyone who helped! The cake was pretty sweet, it got all over. We had a great turnout, it was so fun. We left and went to my house where my car was, and Mike;s brothers got the car. It was cute!

The next few days we hung out at our house and got our washer and dryer put in and did some house projects. And then we left for Niagara Falls on Tuesday. We got there late that night and my Aunt Marsha picked us up. Thank you Aunt Marsha for helping us out so much! We had so much fun. Niagara Falls is amazing, we got some good shots, I will try to remember to put them up on this post. We went on Maid of the Mist, checked out Cave of the Winds, went to the aquarium, got some sweet Hard Rock glasses, and just had a great time. We also went to Palmyra and that was fun. It was awesome to seethe sights that I have learned about my whole life. We also did a session in the Palmyra temple, which is so pretty! Its smaller than I thought it would be but it was gorgeous. We also looked at the Book of Mormon printing press, the Hill Cumorah, the Joseph Smith house, the sacred grove, the Alvin Smith grave, and the Martin Harris farm. We were there for a week and then..

We flew back to Utah for a day to relax and do wash. Then..

We flew to Oregon! We had a reception open house type thing and that was nice. I didn't really know anyone but it was fun. Its been nice hanging out with Mike's family. We went to Multnomah Falls and we hiked to Punch Bowl Falls. They were both really pretty! We've done some shopping (this no sales tax thing is weird, but really nice!) we got a kitchen aid :D and we got a toaster oven also.

We are flying out from Oregon tomorrow and then its back to work and such. If anyone knows of any jobs out in the West Valley area, let me know. I really don't want to be driving to Ogden every day for work.

Funny story.. so we got our washer and we did a load and left the washer and just thought it would do its job. So I got down later so switch it around to the dryer and the washer was moved and unplugged. So I yelled up to Mike and asked him why they moved it and stuff. He came down and said he didn't. So we tried it again and it started shaking and shaking and shaking A LOT and moving! So.. in order to get a load done, Mike and I had to sit on the washer and I had a bocce ball set on my lap. And we would be shaking, but the washer wouldn't move! So Mike called the next morning and talked to them. Turns out that we needed to take out some shipping bolts, which looked like they belonged there. Now our washer works like a dream.

I think that is about it for now. Love you all!

6 days!

Mike and I are getting married in 6 DAYS!!

Yesterday was a very very busy day. We got our marriage license first thing, which was nice because I have really been stressing out about that. Mike kept saying "Oh we got the bee out of Em's bonnet" blah blah blah. After that Fred and Janet met us at Ryan and Amber's house and we moved a lot of Mike's bigger things like his bed, TV's, computer, furniture, etc over to our house. My mom drove down the suburban with the boys and Syd with the remainder of my stuff that I couldn't fit into my car. It was just a big moving day! Boxes and boxes and boxes!

We finally got done moving everything in and not a moment too soon because I WAS STARVING! The Medsker grumpiness from lack of food had been on full force for a few hours. Mike and I went out to eat and everyone else left. After we ate we went and got a washer and a lamp and a dryer. And light bulbs. We went to eat at Chile's and then headed back to the house to start unpacking and organizing.

Our house has hardwood floors, but the carpet is over them. I guess Mike and his dad pulled up the carpet in our bedroom and the floor is beautiful! Together Mike and I have a lot of stuff! A LOT! We wrapped up organizing and unpacking and called it a night. On Monday I am going down to wait for the dryer to arrive and I am going to wipe down all the kitchen cupboards and organize the kitchen. That should be fun!

I think that is about it. Love you all!

Thank you Fred, Janet, Mom, Nate, Brandon, Josh, And Sydder for helping us move all our stuff! We definitely couldn't have gotten it done without you!!

BUSY BUSY BUSY!!!

First of all, I would like to let you all know I am starving for Spongebob macaroni and cheese. I don't know why, but I love that stuff so much.

Anyway- I had my bridals taken yesterday!! It was so fun!! Not to mention SO HOT! But mostly so fun! My mom and I went and looked at them today and now they are up for viewing on the internet. If you want to look at them go to mpiweddings.com and hit bride log in on the right side of the page. Then type "Emily Medsker" in the white box. When you are directed to the next page click view bridals.. and there they are! Let me know what you think and your favorites because I am torn between which ones to print out. At the bottom of the pictures there is sometimes a number (proabbly 1,2,3) and that is the rating. The higher rated ones are the ones we are thinking about which ones to print off. I love my pics, they were so fun to pose for! I love getting my picture taken when I'm all dolled up and everything. So fun!!

Love you all! 2 weeks 2 days till I'm married :) :) :)

Jazzi's

Em telling a story to Syd about when Em and Julia saw a lady rolling around in a Rascal. (or Jazzi)

Syd: What is a Jazzi or a Rascal? Is it like a stroller?
Julia: It even has a tray in the front!!

Uncontrollable laughter from Emily and Julia for about 5 minutes.

4th of July Sydney-isms

Syd: Em guess what? Grandpa and I have the EXACT same hair color. His is just a little whiter than mine.

Syd: Man Em, you kiss Mike a lot. That is more than I have ever seen you kiss any boy before.
Me: He's my fiance.
Syd: Oh yeah.

(dog is breathing heavily under the tramp, grandpa on the deck, Syd me Mike and my mom sitting on the trampoline)
Syd: Who is breathing so hard??! Grandpa? Is that you breathing like that??
Mike: The dog is right under the tramp Syd. Its the dog.
Syd: Oh.

Long Time..

Okay, I am officially the biggest blogging slacker ever. Whenever I get on to blog I forget what I wanted to say so I just give up and figure I will blog later. I need to start writing things down.
Wedding plans are going good! I've got my dress and its all fitted so now I just need to make sure I don't gain or lose a lot of weight. Shouldn't be hard. The cake is ordered and so are the flowers. We are finishing registering this Friday and we are also going to look at our engagement pics that we had taken last Friday! Mike isn't super excited about sitting through tons of photos, but I am definitely excited. I had a really fun time taking those. Mike had fun too, the guy would be taking pics and Mike would be cracking jokes or just being himself. Cute boy. I can't wait to see the pics!! Ahhh... Sunday I taught my class and I had 6 sunbeams and one of me. Whoo. They were all such chatter boxes! I would take a breath and literally 3 of them would start talking and that would get all of them talking. It was funny, I paused for a second and I had Timmy start saying "if there is a fire we need to put it out with water" and Colton started telling me about his dog Tiger at the same time and his twin starts talking about the other dog that ran away. They are so fun. Handfuls sometimes, but definitely fun. Last week while I was gone I guess they pulled the kids out one by one and all the primary made a short DVD. We watched it on Sunday. It started and it was so cute. It was all the kids one by one saying thanks to their teachers or I love you. It was such a sweet movie. I was bawling by the end, it was so cute. My little sunbeams were in it and it was precious. Oh, I went skydiving this weekend! That was a blast!! Definitely going to do that again. I LOVED it. The scariest part for me was just flying up. Jumping and free falling were soooo fun!! Mike and I are looking at a house down in West Valley, its really nice, I like it so hopefully that works out. If any of you know of any jobs down there that I could do and would possibly enjoy let me know if you would. Syd and Aimee left this morning for Girls Camp, its sunny right now so hopefully it stays like that for the week. I am talking at Girls Camp tomorrow night. I am also talking in church on Sunday. Whoo... Well, I think that is about it! Love you all!

Hobos

Sydney-ism: "I used to think hobos lived at the church. But then I found out they live at the Hobo Center"

Update!

Okay, so I know I'm AGAIN slacking in the blogging department. I will get better.. hopefully. Today was Sunday. I went to the Spanish ward because one of my friends is leaving on his mission. So I went to his ward (at 9).. talk about early.. and I get there about 10 minutes early. Well, by the time I find out they are handing out headsets the meeting is about to start so I figure I won't get one. Then I find out that there weren't anymore anyway. It was really cool to just listen to the whole meeting in Spanish. I could pick out a few words here and there but I think I need to learn Spanish. It was a really cool meeting. It was also really nice to see my friends there that I haven't seen in a while. After that I went to my home ward. The talks were good, it was FREEZING FREEZING FREEEEEEEEZING in the chapel today. Whoo, I am surprised I made it out of there alive. Good thing I have little gentleman brothers who will let me use their suit jackets. After church Syd and I headed up to Grandma Medskers house. We were the first ones up followed by J&J&J&J (Jonathan, Janet, Jasmine, Jade). The J's and Syd and Grandpa played Bum Scum. I took a nap and woke up for dinner. My family wasn't there yet, which was a little odd. Well, we ate Parmesan chicken and it was DELISH and I tried calling my family. No one answered at home. They came in the door about 5 minutes later and my mom had made cinnamon rolls. Oh boy were those good!!! After that the twinkies and I took a walk and the others played a card game I think. After that we listened to grandma tell stories about when she went over to England and all our other relatives. That was pretty fun.
Today in sunbeams it was my turn for crowd control. They were pretty good today, I think we just had 6 kids. They were cute.. all boys! Sister McArthur was teaching today and she was telling them about how Jesus healed a blind man so he could see. She asks Conner "Conner, if Jesus healed you and blessed you, would you tell him thank you?" And he said no. And she asked him why not. And he said "Because I don't need to be blessed ane healed!" So she asked if he was sick and needed to be blessed if he would tell Jesus thank you. And he said yes to that. They are so fun. I love my calling.
Things are going well with the wedding planning!!! 89 days! My mom and I get to go talk to the photographer on Wednesday. Dress shopping is next week, so that should be fun.
Well, I love you all! Have a good week!
