Ode to Bob (WARNING--sappy).

Last Friday, Bobby got to play his first STADIUM GIG!!!--Which was awesome. He and the "Party Crashers" were the first in-house band that Real Salt Lake has hosted during a game... The Party Crashers provided music throughout the game and the halftime show. It... was awesome...! Bobby even received a free Xango jersey. (HUGE score because they are rather expensive).










The kid is crazy talented--he had three gigs last week and has at least one gig every week for the rest of the summer. He plays at Rio Tinto again for the 24th of July Real Salt Lake Game and I am super excited about that... because there will be fireworks involved.

I love Bob like crazy--He is so much better than me in every way and thankfully he didn't realize that before the wedding. I met Bobby back east in Boston. Although we are both from Davis County and we both and graduated in 2003, we had never met each other until Boston. Which is our kind of neat/weird story. I had always sworn that I would date out-of-state and out-of race---And when I moved to Boston, I meet a kid like me! Small world.

Bobby is such a freakin' sweetheart, it is unbelievable. As a matter of fact, even his friends and family are uber sweethearts... so, maybe by extension--I'll become a sweetheart? Naaaaah... nothing can melt my heart of ice!

Forced to be Green

Then yesterday, I'm driving home from work when...

KA-CHUNK, KA-CHUNK, KA-CHUNK!

My car is driving funny... as in, my car is leaning towards the back, right tire. I get out and find the tire COMPLETELY FLAT! like, i'm riding on the hub cap here...




Now, I am someone who avoids work at all costs--especially physical labor. It gives me the heebie jeebies to think about it... (shudder)... Naturally, I have no idea how to change a tire.

Unfortunately, my lovely better (MUCH better) half is at rehearsal all week for his big stadium gig this Friday. So..... he won't be able to help me change the tire until Saturday...

THEREFORE...

I am forced to ride a bike to work... until Saturday... Forced to be "Green"




**12 days of "marriage" and/or living in sin--no sign of the wedding certificate yet. **

Finally...

The only reason why I haven't read "Jane Eyre" was because it didn't have any pictures. Fortunately, I stumbled upon this little gem at Barnes and Noble this weekend...

The ILLUSTRATED Jane Eyre!



It also appears to be illustrated by my 8th grade emo self...

Now I have to finally concede to reading Jane Eyre!... Well, maybe... I have a new rule: Now I will only read graphic novels. If "Jane Eyre" becomes a comic book, then I'll consider it...



(ps. Graphic Novels should contain nudity. Lots of it).

Ahhhhh.... marriage

Well, Bobby and I have successfully been married for almost a week (pat on the back.)

Well, I think we've been successfully married for a week. The truth is, we have no idea what happened to the marriage license. We did indeed sign the license after the ceremony, but I'm not sure where it ended up. I'm hoping someone mailed it to the state--but this has yet to be confirmed. If the license is lost (I have a theory someone is using our marriage license as a coaster)--that means that Bobby and I have successfully been living in sin for almost a week! HAZAAAH! (That's actually a little more exciting).

The wedding went off without a hitch...(other than the loss of the license). It was supposed to be held in memory grove, but due to adverse weather conditions, we moved it indoors to Memorial House. But that was pretty a-ok because we lit the fireplace and lots of candles and it was super cool. The ceremony was short--7 minutes tops, then we got to eat...! (which is my favorite part of any wedding--including my own).

I had gotten these amazingly delicious cupcakes for the reception (c/o "Wish upon a Cupcake") in lieu of a wedding cake. The cupcakes were so amazing that I didn't even get one! Everyone had taken one, two, three, four, or five cupcakes--Which is a good thing.

We had a string trio playing music... which was awesome. We bought bubble wands for kids so they could play outside. There was no line (a cardinal rule I had for my own wedding)... people just mingled. I thought it was awesome... even if other people didn't.


I'll post pictures later (as soon as I get them)... In the meantime... here are some of my bridal shots c/o Anna James. Anna is ridiculously talented.


Then... as predicted, as soon as I got back to work--people asked when we were planning to have kids. I told them never because Bobby's physically incapable of adopting.


Again, a special thanks and kudos to our friends and/or family! You kids iz awesome.

GR-Attitude!

Now, for a serious blog (I promise not to do this too much...).

I just wanted to say that I am so thankful for my awesome husband Bobby (a complete sweetheart), my awesome family (they rock), super cool in-laws (James Family--you're the best!) and for my wonderful friends. I originally didn't want to do a reception because I figured zero to no people would show up for my side--however, on the day of our reception---LOTS of awesome friends throughout my life showed up! I was SUPER pleasantly surprised.

So, thank you so much for well wishes! Everyone who has wished Bobby and me good luck--thank you! I really appreciate you in my life--You'll never know how much you have overwhelmed me with your kindness! Even Facebook comments made my whole day...!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!

Bobby is awesome (and has a big drum).

Bobby plays in a band which practices every Wednesday. In this video, the singer of the band is telling her son it is "Band Night" and he gets REALLY excited Bobby will be coming over. And I think it's cute.




On a side note, I'm marrying Bobby today. Which is awesome. Because he is awesome.

Home is where my oscillating fan is...

One week until our wedding. Bobby and I finally have a place to live that doesn't rhyme with "schmy parents' basement."


hazaah.


Hugs & Kisses.
