Life is a highway... a very expensive highway like the one they are building at Hoover Dam

My mind keeps throwing it in my face that in just 6 months from now, Dan and I will be getting married and will have a whole onslaught of new expenses that I have never had before. Health Insurance for 2, 2 peoples car insurances, car payment for 1, gas money for 2, SCHOOL FOR 2, an apartment for 2, food for 2, all of our own utilities, and numerous other amounts of things that come along.

I have seriously taken advantage of the fact that in the past 3 and a half years I have not had a car (until now), been splitting utilities between up to 5-7 girls and have had all say (for the most part) on how to spend my money. Now I have to think about, well, how soon can we be debt free and BURN our credit cards, how much money can I get back from my rental deposit, textbooks, dvds, etc., how cheap of an apartment can we get (I am getting pretty excited about these run down little holes in SLC).

I am not at all upset about the fact that I will no longer be a single vagabond moving every year from apartment to house, from boyfriend to hook up back to boyfriend as the cycle repeats itself. I look forward to the fact that Daniel and I will have a small place to call our own. I can't ensure him that we will have much, but he brings a nice comfy enormous bed into our marriage and I bring with me some dishes and a job.

So when it comes down to it, and we are scrounging around to get by and we spend most of our nights sitting in our furnitureless apartment on our large bed eating dinner off the actual dishes we own, we will have each other.

I love Daniel. I can't think of another person in this world that I could have as much fun doing nothing with, as well as everything with, than him. I have never had someone so full of life and energy and excitement as Daniel is even thou we don't always show that side of ourselves to others, we show each other.

While telling Dan some of my favorite childhood memories today at lunch, I saw so much in him in that moment of him listening to me. His eyes lit up with everything I have ever felt and his interest and love for me shown through... I am so lucky to share this adventure with him, no matter what the cost.

OK I'm done with art for awhile

So I exhausted my artistic efforts far to fast. I worked on these 2 plates and 2 bowls for 6 hours and then decided I was officially spent!

Art Therapy

My sister in law, Lisa, is going into art therapy and she and I have gone twice this week to a place here in Provo called Color Me Mine. I absolutely love it. I have had a very stressful week between friends, finals and car accidents that doing this has really allowed me to release my negative energy.This one is something I really enjoyed doing tonight. It matches my wedding colors and the design I found for my invitations. I can't wait to see how it will looked all glazed over with no pencil marks. The colors change sooo much after they are glazed.

I did presents for people on Thursday. This one is for my momma... I couldn't post any of the other ones I did because those people look at my blog...

Ice Makes Brittany Cry

I had my first mishap/accident with my car Stewie last night. I hit ice and drove the car straight into a curb. Pumping the breaks would not stop the car and the curb was the next best option. But I broke something called the lower arm control and I bent my wheel. I am very sad over this seeing as I am supposed to drive home in a week to Arizona and now I never want to drive a car again....

I HATE UTAH!

Wedding Plans


I Love Gerber Daisies!

Fruit and Flower center pieces... (ideas I stole from my friend Clarissa's wedding)

Colors will be primarily Apple Red and Lemon Yellow and the only place their will be Lime Green is where we actually have Limes mixed into the bowls for the centerpieces.

So after many many days and hours of contemplation, I decided on a very simple a-line gown with full skirt that looks very pretty with a French Bustle and I will have a thick red ribbon around the waist.
