This year has been crazy already and it just started! I can tell it's going to be an exciting year. RJ and I are moving in a couple of weeks. Our lease is up and we're moving from the condo we're in now, across the street to The Village on Main Street apartments. It's funny because we're moving from Centerville to Bountiful and we're just moving across the street. RJ and I laughed about it, but then again we're easily amused. 

So it's been hectic trying to clean our house and pack up everything we have. Plus we're moving from a 2 bedroom apartment to a 1 bedroom so we have to condense all of our crap which I'm not quite as excited about. 

I have the winter jitters. I am getting antsy for spring for so many reasons. One because despite all my grumbling last year to RJ, I really miss mountain biking. I didn't realize how much of a de-stresser it really is. I can't wait to peddle up Mueller Park yelling at RJ that I'm not going to speak to him for an entire day if he doesn't slow down. haha. [sadly, this is a true story and has happened once.. or twice before]. 

I'm also excited to be looking forward to buying a house and planting roots. I am excited to own something that I can paint the colors I like and also if I don't like the way the tile looks in the bathroom I can change it anytime I want. I am so ready to become a domesticated housewife with a garden and chickens. I know it sounds lame, but you just don't have a home without a chicken or two grazing around your backyard. [I'm such a country girl, it's pathetic]. 

I saved the best for last. The thing I am most excited for in spring is to GET MARRIED. I know it seems like this is all I talk about but I just can't help it. I'm also really really nervous. You kind of have a point where you realize your entire life is going to change and that you have to make major decisions that will last forever. I'm still very excited but you get the.. wait.. I'm doing what?! thoughts every now and again. I love RJ more than anything and I want us to be married forever and always. I have no doubt that we will.

I love winter for so many reasons. Life slows down, you get to wear layers and cute scarves and beanies and gloves, but I'm waiting [impatiently] for spring to get here so that it can bring so many things that I enjoy.

Winter Time

It has been 2 months and a day since I last posted a blog. I fail at this whole blogging thing. Not that I don't have anything to say... but is what I have to say worth saying? We're pretty much the most boring couple ever. But... I'm going to type away anyway. What have we done in the past 2 months and 1 day...
-There was Halloween. We dressed up as Emo people. It was fun. RJ even wore eyeliner! He looked so Jack Sparrow-y that I just wanted to kiss him. haha.
-There was Thanksgiving. We spent the morning at RJ's parents house eating Cindy's wonderful food and talking and laughing. Then we went up to my mom's house in Idaho and had Thanksgiving all over again. We consumed a lot of food in one day. But the pumpkin pie at the end of the day was all worth it.
-There was CHRISTMAS TIME! I am so excited for Christmas this year. December has been so much fun. RJ and I have tried to get out as much as possible. Sundays are usually our designated "we hate work so we're going to do something fun" day. 2 weeks ago we went on a hike up the canyon and then we drove to Park City and walked around and window shopped at the Outlet stores. Don't tell him, but I think RJ is the most maniac driver in the whole entire country and he always wants to go four wheeling up through the snow. WHY?! What did I do to deserve this? haha.
I am totally kidding. I think RJ is the most amazing, gorgeous, smartest guy I know and I am so excited to get married. It's getting closer! One hundred and twenty seven days.. but whose counting right? ;] As our wedding is getting closer both of us are getting more excited and we keep talking plans and I keep eyeballing my wedding dress. It's going to pretty much be the best day of my life.
I'm really sappy I know, but we can't help it. Anyway... I'll write again. Hopefully not 2 months and a day from now. Peace out.

It bugs me that they don't have the font I want.. Grr.
Anyway.. I've jumped on the wagon and decided to make MY blog into OUR blog. Trendy I know.
RJ and I... I love that. We're getting married for everyone that doesn't know. I'm pretty excited. It's scary and overwhelming sometimes but it'll definitely be worth the planning. Everyone keeps telling us to elope and go to Vegas, but I'm excited to experience such a fun and monumental day together. We don't have too many plans yet but I know the general idea that I want it to be.

We're completed step one: We got the dress.
My mom and I went to lunch with Suzy! [I love her] and while we were down in Provo my mom begged me to stop in at David's Bridal. I didn't really want to but she coaxed me into it and it turned into a really great experience. I liked knowing that the person that has watched me grow up was there to see me so happy and to be part of this. I found the perfect dress!!! I am so excited to wear it. I'm excited to see RJ's face when I'm wearing it. haha. Is that a girl thing or just me?

We're also trying to buy a house:
That one is a little scarier to me than spending the rest of my life with RJ. It seems like such a big idea. But I'm ready to dive right in!

Anyway...

Keep up with our blog. I don't know how often it'll get updated or it may turn into everyday!

Running...

I'm running a half-marathon in October in Moab.
I have two months and twenty two days until it's time.
It seems like a lot, but I've never run thirteen miles before.
I'm very excited.
Also very nervous.
I have all the gear..
Now I just need to run.
I'll keep you posted on my progress.
[I think this is the only way I'm going to stay motivated].
RJ runs with me sometimes. That is also great motivation. :]
The biggest reason why I want to run this maration is because I know I can do it, but I'm scared and I want to be able to stick with a goal and accomplish it.
Not punk out at the very last minute.
Wish me luck.

I LoVe RJ!

I love RJ. Why you ask?
1. His hair... I know, it won't be there forever but until then I love it.
2. His smile.
3. He takes me places that I'd never think existed. Like Havasupai.
Do you know what Havasupai is? I didn't either.
4. His ability to act like a 5 year old.
5. His heart. He will do anything for someone in need.
6. His stubbornness, which I could also flip that and hate it about him, but...
It's kind of endearing after a while.
7. His face when he's lying. He's a terrible liar.
8. His clothes. He's hot. Oh wait, that's because I pick out his clothes. :]
9. His athleticism. I have to warn him, If I hear "Let's go on a bike ride" one more time...
10. His ability to drive me crazy! He gets under my skin until I'm ready to punch him,
but then he'll turn it around and I'll completely forget why I was mad.

The list goes on and on for ages, but I don't want to get too cheesy.
