Wishin' and Hopin'

I love weddings, they just make me happy. I love watching the first dance. I love watching couples stuff cake into each other's face. I love wedding dresses and colors. I think at one point in my life I considered being a wedding planner. I would love it, but in my brother's wedding I learned a lot. Wedding Planning is hard. It takes lots of time, money, decisions. You have to decide your wedding colors, place for the reception, luncheon, wedding date, flowers, first dance song, catering, and 5 thousand other things. Even thought it is hectic, it is a very exciting time! Picking out fabric took lots of time, but it was fun to match colors and figure out what color combinations work. I love the wedding reception, mormon wedding receptions are much different than regular receptions. They are much cheaper, we do things to save money. I came up with ideas for my wedding in 5 years....haha. Well, maybe not 5 years but not anytime soon!

1. Me and my bridesmaids are going to make a music video to the song; Wishin' and Hopin'. It will imitate this.
Hanna Dunn and I will have a kick out of this. This is mandatory for my wedding in 5 years.

2. I will have a dance at my reception. I will make a amazing playlist with upbeat classic songs where we can ballroom dance and just have fun. One of the songs to start the dance will be..."I wanna dance with somebody" by Whitney Houston. How could you not enjoy dancing with your hubby on this song? I would have a good mixture of Michael Buble, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, some country....I will have to pick them wisely. My slow song: "The Way you Look Tonight" by Tony Bennett. I love that version of the song, the Frank Sinatra is more peppy and not a very good slow dance. If you want to foxtrot, then I would choose that version. I would add some of me and my future husband's songs to the playlist. It will be fun.

3. I am not huge into cake. I know it is traditional. I like cupcakes more just because they are more individual.  I can decorate each one differently. I could have my different wedding colors in the cupcakes. I could put frosting all over that future man's face.


4. I would have lots of candles and flowers. I love the candles lighting. I just love candles. They make the room just look romantic. You can feel love come out of the candles. And who doesn't want romance in their wedding?


5. I will have a summer wedding. Not a December wedding in the rain or snow. Waiting in the rain and snow for the bride and groom is not fun. Your feet don't like to be frozen together.

Those are my ideas for now. They will probably change, but its good to have somewhat of a picture right?

Intangible Things

Last night I was thinking about how Disney calls merchandise "tangible memories". I thought it was stupid how they changed the name, but then It made me think about the tangible and intangible things in our lives. There are so many tangible things that we give value to. That one Steve Madden purse I fell in love with has a lot of value to me. Why? Because it is pretty. :) My cell phone has value to me because that is how I keep in contact with my friends and family. I could go on and on about the tangible things I love to have, but the point of this blog is to talk about the intangible things we have.  I think that the value of the intangible things in our lives is much greater than the tangible. The intangible include: love, memories, pain, and joy. These things are hard to measure; we can't hold them in our hand. We can't say I have two ounces of love and one inch of pain. There is no measurement for love. I remember when I was younger reading the book about how m...

Learning to Let Go

Yes, that is my lesson that I have been learning the last couple of months. Update on my life: I postponed my mission. I feel really good about my decision. I was planning on leaving to the MTC on July 31st. The best way to explain my decision is that life changes and curve balls are thrown at you. It was a very confusing time of my life as I was deciding whether or not to postpone my mission, but I made sure that I was making the right decision. I want to go back to school and continue my "career" or pathway to a career. I want to be a social worker and feel like I can serve God with my career. So, I am staying home. I have a testimony of the church and I respect all the missionaires serving right now. If I was 19, I would have a different outlook as a missionary. At this time, I feel like I should be spending my time in other areas of my life. And it is important to realize that sisters are not commanded to serve a full time mission. Member missionary work is important ...

Recent Changes

So, I haven't written in here for a long time. I thought I might write about recent events in my life. My winter break was fantastic and really long. I am not used to having a month long break so I didn't know what to do with myself. The first part of my break, right after finals, I spent way too much time watching Netflix. I would just lay there in my pajamas and enjoy doing nothing. When you are really busy, it is nice to do nothing at some point. After getting bored of doing nothing, my brother came home for Christmas time. We had lots of family time just talking, playing games and catching up. I experienced one of the most beautiful days in San Francisco. We went hiking in Marine County and looked over all the bay. It was absolutely stunning and brought a lot of new perspective. I love being outdoors because the perspective from nature reminds me of God's love for us. I had a friend from BYU visit for New Years Eve week. I have told her all about my hometown and ...
