What Ever Happened to Thanksgiving?

I am so excited today because #1. It's FRIDAY. #2. There's only one week until Thanksgiving Break!! #3. After Thanksgiving Break, I think there's only like two weeks until Christmas Break. :) Time is flying by this semester. I'm so close to being done with school but I'm getting senoritis really badly. hahah Good thing Stetson helps me to stay on track and get things done.

Anyway, So Stetson and I were at WalMart looking for Halloween stuff a couples days before Halloween and there was already Christmas stuff being put up! I couldn't believe it. What ever happened to Thanksgiving? It's totally a great holiday and where we think about our fore fathers from four score and seven years ago plus all the other presidents and soldiers and what not. ya know? I mean seriously it's the Grateful holiday where we should be grateful for the things we've been given and the people that have done so much for us. Why do we just skip over it all of a sudden? I've been plagued with this question for so much of my life.

I don't know even if there's a way to stop this madness but I propose a protest happen for the sake of preserving Thanksgiving and being grateful!! ok maybe not, haha but it was a thought. (We're covering the Civil Rights Movement in my history classes this week haha) So yeah. well I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving and just relax and be grateful that you can relax without having to do crazy hard stuff like our ancestors. :)

Haunted Mills and Happy Halloweens!

So for Halloween this year Stetson made me go with him to the Haunted Mill just outside of town. I'd never been and it was pretty cool. The Haunted Mill really was a sugar mill for a long time but now it's been turned into a haunted house. I was pretty impressed cause it was authentic and old, which helped the theme and made it that much scarier. haha We went with our friends Jason and Chelsey and they were a ton of fun to hang out with. The only thing that bothered me about the whole experience was that while we were in line this girl behind us was playing around and kept touching Stetson... and I'm a super jealous wife. haha It didn't bother me for the first few times but she kept doing it! Then she was on her friend's back and she about fell over and the girl touched Stetson's BUTT! yeah that's right. I was SOOOO mad. I don't know what kept me from hitting her but I'm glad I didn't. Anyway, the rest of the time was great though. :) (p.s.- this guy just walked by dressed up as Harry Potter and SERIOUSLY looks just like him hahah. I love all the people on Halloween) Speaking of dressing up, I don't know what to dress up as. I was thinking maybe going with the idea Lindy and I had a few years ago of being the Kool Aid man. hahah maybe I should frizz my hair and be Hermione... hmmm H.P. gave me an inspiration! *side note: I can't wait till the last HP comes out, but I think it's stupid that the second part isn't coming out until next July...* Well I'm not sure there's much else going on to say so I guess I'll write again another day. hahah see ya!

Happy Halloween!!!

I Love My Life!

so it's month five and a half of my new adventure and I tell you what, it's awesome. Being married is crazy and hard and exciting and fun and nice and weird... and still totally great. We are both at school now and just living life. There's some points where it's harder than others. I guess that's life though. We made our own bed instead of buying an expensive one and we are pretty darn proud of it. :) the only problem is that it's way high. hahah I have to literally climb into bed every night cause it's too tall. It's hilarious. Our apartment is cute and nice. We just decorated for Halloween and it's just a lot of fun. :) Classes are very time consuming and somewhat difficult but it's not too bad. Stetson only has class on Tuesday and Thursday but he has classes from nine to nine thirty. His classes are all writing based courses so he doesn't like them because they don't seem relevant to him at all, which I can understand. haha. So hopefully this semester will be the third to last that I have then I'M DONE! I'll be sad to leave here but at the same time I will be glad to start doing stuff that doesn't require me to do my homework every night and get paid for it. haha. so that's all that's happening at the moment. thanks for reading!

Adjusting to Married Life

So I got married two weeks ago yesterday and my husband Stetson and I are living in his parents' basement. :) yeah, whatever don't laugh. It's nice here but totally different from home so it's kinda hard to get used to. Last night was hilarious though cause we are making a room out of part of the basement and all of our stuff is everywhere including some adult things... we didn't organize much at all and his little brothers were snooping around our stuff and saw a gift (KY Yours and Mine...) we were given from his friends and the littlest one was so drawn to it and frustrated that I had hid it from him that he grabbed it and was like WHAT IS THIS? hahahah I took it and was like nothing Malone, it's just adult stuff... hahahah it was totally hilarious. I made them all leave and go upstairs before they saw anything else. Good times... kinda.

So Stetson's family it totally different than mine in that they are all very motivated to get everything done and quickly. My family and the way I am is very much more just relaxed and chill. Now that I'm here with his family, I feel inadequate and more or a waste of space than anything else. :( I am going to look for a job and stuff but I guess it's more difficult than I realize. I just hope that I'll find something to help be stay sane and seem more adequate. If you have any suggestions PLEASE tell me. Well that's all for now... been online too long and I'm feeling wasteful today.

Never Ever Have a Bad Day

So I didn't go to the devotional where this talk was given but I just read through it and I tell you what, it's one of my favorites. Sad, sad story about the dog but totally awesome meaning behind it. Brief synopses goes like this: the poor dog went out in the street and got hit by a car. He ended up with a cracked skull and his eyeball out of his head. A family friend took the dog out and shot his five times in the head and neck and then they buried him. Turns out the dog survived the entire ordeal and then goes home to his family. yeah. that happened. But even though it was a cool story and all, the best part was the rest of the talk. The best part of it being when he talked about Peter and Christ. Peter's name of course means rock but he was called rock because of what he would become not what he already was. It wasn't until after Peter had his "abomination of desolation" that he was really the Rock. Only after those hard times was he able to understand who he was. After I read this I truly understood the meaning behind us being, “willing to submit to all things which the Lord saw fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father.” And how that relates to “rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.”

As of Late...

So Stetson has left and is is on week two of his internship. I guess it's going well and he likes the people he works with. One's a super shorty with his partner who is also a super shorty and then there's a really nice girl name Holly and a tall 6'6" guy who's name is Aran (pronounced Aaron). He's got a super weird roommate named Jason and I'm thinking it's a little gay... He likes to touch Stetson a lot and he's just plain weird. Completely out there. I have lost motivation to do anything but then feel bad that I don't get a lot of stuff done. It's an endless cycle, spiraling out of control. haha ok maybe not that dramatic but still. Wedding plans are coming along but now it's starting to get down to the nitty gritty and it's insane. hahah too many decisions and I hate making any kinds of decisions at all. My mom is flying out to Salt Lake next Wednesday and we are going to get a wedding dress and get a place for the luncheon and some other details. I still haven't gotten bridesmaids dresses or anything and the window of opportunity is coming to a close. All I know is that I want them to be blue and white and of course modest. :] hahaha sorry for all the laughing but it's all I can do to keep myself from screaming really loud in the library. haha If you hear about someone being banned from the library for screaming and going insane, you would be safe to think it was me. hahaha Have a Great Day to anyone who reads this. :]

It's official

So it turns out that last time I was on here I started dating Stetson and now that I have too much time on my hands, I've decided to update and start out by saying that I'm ENGAGED to Stetson Carroll :] haha. Crazy? yeah I know. It's super fast and crazy but it feels right so I'm not worried. There's a TON to do and I don't even know where to begin. Luckily, my mom is super supportive and totally helps me all the time. I'm going to be doing all the planning without Stetson 'cause he's going on an internship to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on February 2nd. :[ I'm gonna miss his birthday, he'll miss mine and I won't see him til almost the week of the wedding... (which is May 6th by the way) Everyday gets harder to leave him and go to my apartment or have him leave. The day he leaves will be so flippin' hard. :[ O AND I'm still in school trying to get things done with that. I'm taking 14 credits... I haven't taken more that 12 since my freshman year of college. hmm o man. so any ideas or even just words of comfort would be much appreciated. :] haha love you all.
