Bad Stuff That's Actually Good

Good thing number one:

Double Digits.

Alright, the double digits actually don't start until Thursday.. but I'm just too excited! Our wedding is in 101 days! I can't wait to finally start counting down with smaller numbers, July couldn't come soon enough!


Good thing number two:


Hawaii.


Too bad I'm not invited! JaNae and Heidi, my WB playmates for LIFE, are LEAVING. WHAT?! How can this be?! Leaving West Bountiful!? Yeah that's how I felt. Well, at least they aren't moving to Logan.. or Idaho or, i don't know, Alaska? Yeah my two best friends are smarter than cold weather. Come September, they'll be living in Hawaii and I'll definitely be paying them a visit or two. Not only will they get one heck of an education, they'll be tan and get to meet.. or just watch.. brown boys, all the time. That's the life!

Good thing number three:

Missions.

As much as I love them, sometimes they make me sad. Benny leaves tomorrow! I can't even believe it. I was so excited to have him in the temple when me and Alex get sealed! And Chase too! Sadly.. he'll probably be gone by then also. Well I guess I can't complain about missionary work. I love what they do, and i LOVE that these two boys have worked so hard to get back out into the field. Hooray for missionaries!


Good thing number four:

Wisdom.

Okay, I wanted to make that sound better than it really is, and I think I did. When I say wisdom, I mean teeth! Yes, Wisdom teeth. Ouch! Now this just CAN'T be good. I have three gigantic wisdom teeth just dying to come out, even though I always told them they'd be happy where they are forever! The only good thing about this is that I'm going to get them out before I'm married.. which means, FREE! My sweet sweet parents get to pay for even more before they see me off :) Now I realize that wisdom teeth surgery happens to most of us, but it terrifies me! I'd rather like, break my leg or something. Oh well I guess.



Well, lots of things are changing. My best friends are spreading across the globe like crazy! Luckily, I'll get to be with my BEST best friend forever real soon though. Oh and Chandler will just be in Logan after this summer.. which isn't too bad :) Even though I don't like big changes.. I guess they're good, and I'm excited to see where all this change takes us!

i promise...

I promise to graduate from college, at least twice.

I promise update my curtains, carpet, and couches enough times that my house never feels like some other century.

I promise fall more in love with Alex every. single. day. I also promise to give him a back rub every day for our first year of marriage, but only because i lost that bet :(

I promise to never take pictures of myself in the bathroom mirror, or while I'm driving alone in my car.

I promise to go to the tulip fair next year, and I promise Alex WILL come with me. And he'll like it.

I promise to name my kids names I love... but consider their elementary school years in my decision. I WILL have a daughter named Etta, even if I have to name my son Buck.

I promise to never ever ever take a kissy-face picture, unless it's specifically meant to make fun of kissy-face pictures.

I promise to always live by or in mountains.

I promise I'll still listen to Bob Marley when i'm 83, and my babies will listen to bob marley from the day we CONCEIVE ONE :)

I promise to always be a Bountiful Brave.

I promise to never grow up all the way.

I promise to never stop loving old things, old people, and old ideas.

I promise to always keep up with holiday and family traditions.

I promise to make myself and Alex create a love for Christmas once we have babies so that they won't feel deprived because of their bad-attitude parents.

I promise to get a rocking chair one day very very soon and keep it forever. And if it breaks I will get a new one. And I will get one for Alex and we will always always have rocking chairs to rock in. and eat quesadillas and yell at all the neighbor kids to get off our lawn.

I promise to more than "stay in touch" with my best friends for the rest of my life.

I promise that I will keep my baby blankets until I die.

I promise that all my babies will get baby blankets to love and keep forever.

I promise that I will let my kids wear ugly stuff, like light up shoes, but probably only a few times since I don't really want them to wear ugly stuff.

I promise that my relationship with Alex will always be my number one in life. and if we absolutely have to, we'll take lots of trips to far away places together, just to check up on our relationship.

I promise that I will always feel weird to have unpainted toenails, and I'll be rich enough to get two pedicures every month even when I'm old.

I promise that I will fulfill "My List of Uncommon Things to Do." Including number 12.

I promise that I will always have a crazy-weird love for traffic cones.

I promise to "teach my kids with cows," even if we never have cows.

I promise that I'll try to remember that I promised to do all of these things on May 13th, 2010, 57 days before I marry my love and best friend.
