SINGLE DIGITS!

Here we are 9 days away from the big day! Who knew time would fly by so quickly? The days go by like weeks, but the weeks go by like days! Once we get finals done and packing done we can relax and do the wedding.  Hopefully we can make it through this next busy week!

Mama's and Milk Duds

Well before I get started I just wanted to let everyone know....11 days!

Today I found a dollar in my wallet and I decided to hit up the vending machines next to Mike's classroom while he was in class. So there I was staring at the goodness of candy held by the vending machine with my dollar in hand.  Oh the choices! Anyone who has been to multiple restaurants can tell you that I am the most indecisive person when it comes to food...I just want it all! Especially candy.  As I glazed over the different candies the golden box of Milk Duds hiding in the bottom corner caught my eye and I immediately smiled.  I never really liked Milk Duds until I was older and in high school.  My mom would get them a lot and we would have them while watching a movie or our favorite tv show on that night.  I have grown to love them because of her.  So here I am writing this in memory of my mother, in which time I have "accidentally" eaten the entire box.... :D I love you mom!

We're in the TEENS!

Holy cow we're already in the teens! It's amazing how fast the time has gone! Not too much has been happening.  Utah was a blast! We took my roommate Hannah with us.  We got our marriage license, make-up for the wedding, and had a bridal shower! So many people came it was beautiful.  We got such nice things too! Mike is thinking that we need to have bridal showers more often.  It's crunch time now with packing, finals, and wedding plans, but we're going to make it!  

Birthdays

As many of you may have seen Mike's "birthday" was yesterday. He and his cousin Craig thought it would be funny to see how many people would not notice and wish him a happy birthday again.  I was actually surprised at the response, there were so many people who didn't think twice about it and still wished him well on "his day."  I still feel awful about him tricking people like this! Luckily no one sent him anything. 


My birthday is on Thursday, yes St. Patrick's Day, I'm really looking forward to it because Mike and I are taking one of my roommates (Hannah) and one of his roommates (Shawn) down for the weekend.  Not only are we going to celebrate me turning 19, but some dear friends are throwing me a bridal shower! So it's going to be a party all around this weekend!

One Month to go!!!

One month from today Mike and I are getting married!! I can't believe how fast time has gone!
Well so much has happened the past few days.  Utah was so much fun! It was great to just get away and relax.  We did the photoshoot for the baseball team, and then I took Mike to Whistle Wok, a chinese restaurant in AF. It's like Panda Express only better! After we went to Orem to watch the BYU basketball game at his grandparents house with Bruce and Deb, and Brian and Adriana, and of course Evelyn! I got to take pictures of her, she is so beautiful and so sweet! Here is a sneak peak at some of the pictures.  Fish update: Wilbur is still alive and swimming!
   My roommate Natalie is hilarious. This morning she walks into my room and says "Caitlin I need a girl talk. How do I become a good kisser?" Well needless to say for once I was a little starved for words.  I had to text Hannah to come into the room and help me out on this one.  So she is telling me her stories for about the 4th time in a row, while I try to get a word in giving her advice on boys.  This is always interesting.
   OH! Great news, so this morning I officially changed my major.  I was once a History Ed major, and I am now a communications major.  I am so excited!!

Close Friends and Getting Closer

Yes it is true. It's March which means we are just 38 days away! That is so close! I can't believe it! Things are going well around here in Rexburg.  Mike is still working, we are still studying, and I am still blogging.  
GREAT news! The apartment that we have been wanting is officially ours :) And we are going to pay less than what we were told! Mike got a new basketball for free, and we got a new coffee table for free yesterday. So what free things are we going to get tomorrow? :) On a sour note, Palagi died this afternoon, ok so like 5 minutes ago.  Mike isn't very happy about that. Ending on another good note, we are headed to Utah this weekend!


One of our very close friends, Sister Kodie Staub left for the MTC this morning.  She will be serving the Lord in the Philippines, Angels Mission.  We are so proud of her and will miss her dearly.  Her farewell was this past Sunday,  she did an amazing job! We love her so much!
