Pro Wedding Pics

No, I don't have all my wedding pics back yet, but hopefully soon! I realized I got so far behind with writing about the wedding that I had never posted the link to some of our professional photos! This is what he put up on his blog....I just keep looking at these over and over and over and over....and I am SUPER anxious for the rest! Just hope I have them before xmas!!

Oh, and so I had all these crazy dreams before the wedding about all sorts of just random stuff...well, it's still continuing after the wedding! Last week I woke up in a complete tizzy and panic and was surprised I wasn't crying out loud in my sleep! I had a dream we got the pro pics back from our wedding and there were only like 50 photos from the entire day, so first I was upset there wasn't more....but before I complained I told myself to just look through them. So I look through the whole stack and there were 3 pictures of me in it-- and one of them was super blurry! Another was a pic of me in shorts and a tank top not even from my wedding day! The rest were a bunch of random people I didn't know and some scenery! So I try to be polite and just ask the photographer who these people are and he tells me those were the guests at the wedding. So now i'm just completely puzzled cause I don't know any of these people and know they were not at our wedding. So then he tells me that he lost the disc with all the wedding photos and he had no backup or anything, so they are all gone. So I just start crying uncontrollably and freaking out and was so mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then I woke up and had a sigh of relief that it was all fake! Stupid dreams.

Read my blog, you BLOCKHEAD

So we were just flipping through the channels last week and stumbled upon some Charlie Brown Halloween special, so we just left it on for a few minutes and both realized that it was actually entertaining! So we watched the whole thing. We were laughing at a lot of the comments and now I'm thinking I want to read more Peanuts comics and watch more of the shows. One of the funniest things was how they call each other "blockheads" as an insult. So, according to the internet you can term someone a blockhead when they do something dumb or a clumsy act. Some examples of how to use the term would be:

  • Dustin is such a blockhead, he tripped over his shoes laying in the middle of the hallway.
  • You wore a brown belt with black shoes today, you blockhead!
  • That blockhead dustin bought stale bread at the grocery store.

The other term that was really funny was that they say "tricks or treats." I found this comic clip then that had both my fave expressions. now just can't wait for hopefully a thanksgiving special that will be on....you blockhead

Organization Progress!

So we've been busy after the wedding trying to just get all situated in the loft....and we are close to being finished! I worked ALL DAY on Sunday to get things organized. Basically I emptied out all the kitchen cabinets, cleaned them, re-did the shelving heights, and put things back in where they best fit. Once I was done, it looked great and I actually have some spare room on some shelves! I unpacked a lot of our fun kitchen items from the boxes and am itching to try so many of them out...think we'll definitely have to have a xmas party soon! I then re-organized our closet that contains our laundry area and that looks great too! Then I started on our bedroom closet, but didn't get too far, so that is in progress. Basically instead of just having the one pole to hang clothes from, we created a lower second one underneath it to double our size. I sold all my candy buffet jars from the wedding last night so that also emptied out some crap...now just gotta sell my candles and will have most wedding decorations outta here!

Since my other past time is tv, I was bummed to find out that Ashlee Simpson-Wentz is leaving Melrose Place...and even more sad that the rumor was that she acted like such a diva on set. We started watching a new show called Modern Family on Wed nights and LOVE it! This last week they even watched the Illini football game on the show and the fat gay dude was dressed up in orange and blue!

SYTYCD???

So Saturday night we didn't really have any halloween plans, so missy and I decided to go see the So You Think You Can Dance (SYTYCD) show here at Chaifetz Arena. We were just going to buy our tickets at the box office when we got there, but Missy decided to check that afternoon and see if new good seats became available and they were.......8th row floor seats, dead center on the aisle! And acutally the first 3 rows were only on the sides, so essentially were 5th row. IT WAS FABULOUS!!!!!! Well worth paying the extra money for these then sitting up high. At the end of the show they came back and did a halloween medley and finished it off with thriller...great way to end the show! Here's some pics, but I took over 100 so it was hard to decide what to post...considering most people don't watch the show and won't appreciate them:

This was Kupono in a ridiculous outfit, but sad part was this is typically the kind of stuff he wears so I didn't even know if it was a joke at first....the next saddest part was that missy had requested the library to order the SYTYCD workout videos and knew the dance moves he was mocking!

This was one of my favorites of the season-- a dance to Battlefield by Jordin Sparks.


So Jeannine and Phillip kept coming out in their russian dance outfits, which was one of the most horrible performances of the season, and so eventually everyone came out and did a russian dance.

THRILLER!

Bowling League

So for something to fill my time after the wedding I decided to try and get some friends together for a bowling league....so that is our current Thursday night activity! It's great cause it's at Flamingo Bowl which is a block from our loft and fun since I've never done it before! We signed up through these flyers at work, but out of all the thousands of AT&T employees, they only had enough for 3 teams so it's us and then some other random teams of people. I found out later there was a punk rock music league on Tuesday nights...so may have to try that one out next time! I missed the first couple weeks while on the honeymoon, so I show up finally and am telling everyone that I am super awful. I ended up bowling a 160 for one of my games!!!!!!!! I had the 2nd highest score of the women in the whole league that night with that game! My other games didn't go quite as well, but not awful. Then the following week it was so comical that I did so HORRIBLE-- got like 71 in one game and 80 in another and then just broke a hundred in the other one. So tomorrow night I gotta redeem myself!!

Just a tip to share with people too, but apparently there is bowling etiquette or protocol. Luckily the team that shares our space is fairly cool about things, but they seem to have some serious bowlers (who aren't even good) but they use towels to dry off the ball each time before they bowl and just quirky things. I started off by bowling at the same time they did-- wasn't aware that you wait until the bowler in the lane next to you finishes before you go. Now I'm just that much wiser though...learning so much!! Best part of the league are the $3 nachos I can pig out on each week!
