Goodbye OC season 4

The OC show may have ended in February of 2007, but for me, it has taken me a lot longer than that to finish watching all the episodes. I started watching them in 2005 and it has taken me 5 more years to finally complete only 4 years of heiring. But it was a pretty emotional  day last week when Adam and I watched the last episode together before we went to bed. It felt like I was saying goodbye to a family that I had known for so long and when I couldn't sleep at night, would keep me entertained until I finally did. Not only that, but that was the thing that got Adam and I dating. Or should I say, that was his excuse that he used to come over and see me so we could hang out. That was his little crutch that he would use. I would get these texts from him like "Do you want to watch the OC tonight and get some ice cream too?" or "I need to watch the OC! When can we watch it?!" He was really smooth... He knew I liked the OC, and I thought he did too, but I guess he just liked me :). Although he did get pretty attached to the show as well, or so he says. I can't tell anymore if he is just saying he likes things to make me happy and agree with me or if he says he likes them because he actually does. He's so good about making me happy.

So now, instead of the OC, we are starting to watch the show Friends which I happen to have all seasons 1-10 except for season 9 (my favorite season) which happened to have disappeared while living with roommates. Yeah, I'll never see that one again. But we are on the third episode and we are enjoying it pretty well. Although it has been on hold for a few days since I have started to work late and Adam is out of town for the next few days. We like popping popcorn and watching movies. We have a pretty good time together. :)

1 Month!

Adam and I have been married for one month now from yesterday! I can't believe how fast things have gone. We are still working on our apartment and getting it all together and settled. It's a different experience trying to take care of a whole apartment rather than just having to worry about your bedroom and occasionally cleaning the kitchen or bathroom when it gets messy or if your roommates aren't cleaning it up. Adam and I have had a lot of fun trying out things that we got for our wedding. We have found that we really love using our popcorn popper machine thing and then putting seasoning on it. It is a delight! I love popcorn so much more now. I want to try other seasonings now to put on it. We bought white cheddar and it is so so good.

 Our other thing that we like to do is to watch the OC season 4 that I got for my birthday. I've had a lot of things to do around the apartment and with thank you's from the wedding and things like that. I usually do those when Adam is off at work or in class and the place is just too quiet and lonely, so I've been hauling through all the seasons of the Office. I normally don't watch that many shows, but it keeps my mind occupied while I do things. I think I got that from my mom. 

But things have just been bliss for the past month. Adam and I have been pretty good about staying happy and keeping things functioning like doing the laundry once a week, getting groceries we need, keeping the place tidy, and other things like that. Hopefully we can keep this up. Married life is great!

Mother's Day

Mother's day was a good one for me. Adam made me breakfast, well, we both kinda made it. I made pancakes and Adam made his famous scrambled eggs. Then for dinner Adam made me a chicken dressing dish on pasta. That is one of his specialties too. But at church, after sacrament meeting, the men passed out petunias to all the mothers and wives in the ward so I got one! It was quite exciting. Adam is getting me a pot to stick it in. It's not as pretty of a flower as Adam usually brings home to me sometimes, but it's still really nice and brings nice life and color to our apartment.

Wedding Day Pictures!

April 10, 2010 was the best day of my life so far, and maybe Adam can agree to that too. It was the most perfect day ever. I couldn't have asked for a more wonderful wedding. I know it has taken forever for me to add pictures, but here are some of my favorites. Sharlie took them for us and she did a wonderful job. I will cherish these pictures for the rest of my life. There are seriously no words for how wonderful everything was. Marriage is the best and I married the best man ever. He is better than the man of my dreams. :)

Bridal Shower Fun!

Grandma Johnson had a bridal shower for Adam and me at her house in Salt Lake City. I had lots of family come and it was great to see everyone. Adam was included in the shower and he was a great sport. Everyone was impressed by him. First, we ate a wonderful lunch and we mingled for a little while. Then we played a game that was a quiz about Adam and I. I even learned some new things about Adam. The person who got the most questions right won. Then we played a matching game with fun wedding words on it and you got a candy bar matching the word if you found a match. 

Then after the games came the opening of presents! It was better than Christmas! We love everything that we got and they will come in use for our new apartment that we just got yesterday by the way.

Then for the final game, there were five numbered presents placed on the floor in front of us. In each present was a different outfit for me to wear on our honeymoon and Adam had to pick a random number from Amber's hand and whatever number it was, that was the one he got to open. Once he opened it, he got to choose whether he wanted to keep that one and have me wear it, or exchange it for a different present. It was a pretty funny game. The first one he opened was a large green and red plaid, oversized night gown. He obviously chose a different box. He opened up a one piece pink, zip up jamies, my mom's honeymoon outfit, and then my grandma's honeymoon outfit. Then finally, with the help of Elaina, he opened up one that he was happy with. It was a little black lace outfit. He decided to keep that one. I did get a little embarrassed when I saw what he opened, but it was a good laugh. Elaina really liked it.

But It was a great shower and I appreciated all the work that was put into it and for everyone coming and supporting Adam and I. It was a good day.

I put on the pink outfit for a little bit so I could match Elaina. She's so cute.

6 Weeks To Go

I heard this song the other day, and I thought to myself, this is how I feel. Brad Paisley has some good advice. With all the wedding plans and trying to get everything to come together nicely, I have to remember that all we really need is love for this wedding... and other things. But all that matters is we are getting married even if things are stressful or aren't going my way. I thought this was a pretty cute clip, and I wanted to share the song.




The past two weekends I was able to go to Utah with Adam and do a lot of wedding planning. We got soooo much accomplished. We only had those two weekends to find everyone's clothes for bridemaids and ties for the guys and we did it. We got our flowers picked out, the favor almost done, the cake picked out, food for the reception, and we had a bridal shower... there were a lot of other things we did, but it just feels good to have some of those planning things out of the way. It's hard to plan a wedding when your mom and sister-in-law are in California, your sister is in Utah, and your future in-laws are in Tennessee. But we are putting it together pretty well I think. I can't believe that there are only 6 weeks left! It's coming up quick.... and there's still lots more planning to do.
