Vegas: Was it worth it?

I went through quite the ordeal to get work off for this weekend trip to Vegas that Spencer's family had put together. Somehow they got most all the aunts and uncles and cousins in one place and it was meant to be quite the party. 

But everyone had different schedules and different ideas of fun and half of the family was sick. Not the makings of a great party. We didn't get a lot on our list done and people got more sick as the trip went on.

But I actually had a great time. 

I was happy to be away from Provo, the cold, and school and I was glad I had the chance to spend time with Spencer and his siblings and parents. 

Saturday we went to the Shark aquarium and I just hate fish and the ocean. So much. But it was still cool and all the little kids had a blast!

Sunday we went to the M&M store, thinking it was the M&M factory but Spencer and I had to leave because the peanut smell was overwhelming. I'm pathetic.

See, look at us, we had so much fun.

But now I'm suffering the consequences with a horrible cold, as is Spencer. I'm pretty miserable. But I don't care, I had fun.

What was I thinking?

I once said that for me, getting my hair cut is the equivalent of buying shoes for most girls: it is an obsession.

In high school and my first year out at BYU, I had a different hairstyle every other month and I never got too attached. I lived by the idea that it's just hair so I'll change it how and as often as I please, because it will all come back eventually.

But NOW I've been working so hard to get it long and thats dangerous because I get so bored quickly and I'm likely to cut it all off. Instead of cutting it off though, I did this.

I just wanted a change and Heather made it sound so fun! (P.S. She's amazing. Go see her. Shep Studio)

But it was a bold choice and now I have to think of some super fun hairstyle for my wedding with a haircut I'm barely used to.

Go me.

One down...many more to go

How pathetic is it that I have to create a blog just to keep up with all my little blogger friends?
Actually, not that pathetic. I love my blogging friends and all their efforts and I want to keep up with them. Besides, Spencer says I will love it.

As I plan our wedding, I realize how quickly my life changes and...who knows what really happened a year ago when Spencer and I met? Or anything before that? I need a way to remember. So I will post. And yes, I will be one of those new wives- documenting our cute new life (and anything else on my mind). Granted, we've got four more months to go before we make it official, but now is as good a time as any to join the blogging world with all of you, my friends.

So here is the launch of my very own blog. Enjoy.
