so lets give a low down of what's going on...

THE WEDDING:
ryan and i are for sure getting married on september 14th. I picked up the invitations and we are now going to try and figure out who to invite and where they go to (address wise). And on Aug 7th i have the fitting for my dress which will be nice. Mom and i have to go and pick up shoes before that.

HOUSE HUNTING:
Got approved for $130,00 which gives us a shitty house in a shitty neighborhood... pretty much. This whole thing in general is making me kind of on edge. We go with the realtor on saturday to look at some houses. Hopefully we can find one that we like.

OTHERWISE:
debbie is coming home in about a week which makes some of this wedding shit a little bit easier.
i'm personally kind of depressed and have no idea why... maybe it's just because of stress... and lots of it.

Not a whole lot has happened this weekend. I guess that's why i have had nothing to really contribute to blogger. Oh well there's one more time on list of me not blogging... i guess.

yesterday ryan decides that he want to buy the nintendo gamecube and so all day was spent doing that. Well today we walked down to crossroads and bought the scariest game it's called eternal darkness and FUCK it scared me. i'm a chicken i'll admit it. now the other game we bought is called monkey ball. Which is a puzzle type game which makes it so i like it.

Well that's pretty much where i have been the last 2 days. Lost in gamecube land. I feel like a nerd... teehee.

Today we went lots of places and did lots of things. Drove past the house a couple of times to see if i like it.

So i think ryan and i found ourselves looking at houses today. Well it started with Bobbi's mom having to sell her old house. Which lead us to looking around for other house because we can't just go with the first one we saw. So we looked and spent about 3 hours looking. It's a cute house though so i shouldn't talk about it... you know just wrong enegy when you talk up things.

Oh, amendment from yesterday we didn't eat pizza. We had the Samba Grill. It's good stuff.

california pizza kitchen tonight... pizza tonight. Why do i LOVE pizza?

picked up picture for the announcements today :)

Now we are going to go outside with beanbags and make fun of the mormons.

So i got home this morning and realized that i did NOT want to make anymore decisions today!

-that is all-

The US post office is a monopely! who's with me?

"and now for something totally different"
i love living downtown except for 2 reasons; one if you are stuck driving in 5 o'clock traffic allow about 20 minutes extra to get to your destination and two- the pigions- they are dirty fuckers.

WE just got back from yellowstone. It was great fun. Other than the fact that we had to take up a large order to hamilton store which by the way sucked ass. After that though it was all well and good. All sorts of fun and excitement for one little vacation.

so grandma should be alright. things went fine with the surgery. We wont find out until friday if she has cancer through her whole body but it's looking like it wont be

i picked up the wedding invitations today :)

Today i have this need to learn. it's like i'm missing school for some reason or another and that there is nothing i can do expect for to learn information. So i started reading the Bartenders manual and once i got through the different garnishes, glasses, guns, beers, liquiors, mixers and the actual beverages i thought it was time to move on to going through all of my old notes for the last 2 years. It's crazy how my mind is just wanting to learn something new... ANYTHING.

Anyways as far as company went this weekend.... we had a good time. I think Ryan i sad to see them leave. i think he wants Carrie around all the time.

Back to work tomorrow which kind of sucks.

a couple of days ago ryan won free tickets to the weezer show. and tonight was the time for it. It was pretty good. i just need to say that if dashboard confessional can make it so can he. (to give him a little more self confidence.. Chris you kick ass)

Other than that we have company this weekend so not really much to say. just a lot of partying and a lot of drinking. :)

So this is what's going on. The conversations starts this morning with "i go in for surgery on tuesday" my grandma talking of coarse.
Wait i think i'm getting a head of myself... lets start at the beginning at my childhood (maybe that's a little too far back how about i just tell you the things that stick out the most) We moved to Salt Lake City when i was about 3, my grandma barbara (she's my dad's mom) moved in when i was 5 and stayed for a could of years. During this time she bought me my first movie, cinderella. it was the first movie that someone gave me and i watched it untill i had every word memorized. Barbara was at the with me when i fell down the mountain. She's been there on EVERY birthday... she have never forgotten... not once. Now, and for the past 2 years my grandma has worked with me. I see her 4 or 5 days a week and we have started to grow a relationship that most grandma's don't have with there grand daughters. i tell her somethings that i know she will keep private.
She's a wonderful lady. We, as in the family, go swimming at her condo all the time and she always has popsicles and dinner waiting or almost ready when we get back. Now about the surgery. my grandma has uteris cancer which might have spread all through her intestins and stomach bowels.

Today was her last day at work.

Now it could be the last day ever or it could just be her last day for 6 weeks.

My grandma Shaffer had the same surgery but she didn't come out of it. That was the last time we saw her was when she was getting ready to leave. i hope this doesn't happen to my grandma barbara.

She's about 68 and in extremely good health for her age... she shouldn't be going through this.
