The Rick Flick!

Here is my tag from Meg and Mariah
1. Where did you meet?
Oh man already its juicy! We met on the internet :) I know, I know, But it makes for a fun story. We just made fun of eachother more or less on the internet teasing about baseball (we both love baseball). So we decieded to meet at a bees game. we both saw each other and thought the same thing...snob:) he thought I was a snobby avenues girl and he was a jock to me. I was wrong though, I have never been so comfortable with anyone or able to have so much fun! we hit it off and the rest is history!
2. How long did you date before you were married?
We dated for 6 months before he popped the question and 10 months before we were married. I guess when you know, you know.
3. How long have you been married?
and entire summertime!! lol 3 months.
4. What does he do to suprise you?
He is so romantic, I really have to say i'm a lucky girl. He cooks dinner a lot. Which is great because he is such a great cook! he also cleaned our whole apartment the other day just because it was stressing me out and he wanted to help me focus on finals. Yeah, he is a great guy.
5. What is your favorite feature about him?
I don't even know where to start. His arms are so sexy! I love how strong they are. his eyes also melt me. He is a babe!
6. What is your favorite quality about him?
Definately his sense of humor! I havent gone 1 hour with him without laughing! I also love how relaxed he is. My family has learned when i'm freaking out they just need to find Rick to talk to me because he calms me down. he is so spirituall too. He really has shown me so much about who I want to be.
7. What are some nicknames he calls you?
Rachy and blue eyes are my fav. there is always hon and love
8. What is his fav color.
Blue because of my eyes, he always says he is in trouble if our kids have blue eyes because they will be able to get away with anything.
9. What is his fav food.
he loves my meat loaf and my chicken cordon blue. He could really have pizza every meal for the rest of his life. he also LOVES this grose chinese buffet place that makes me queezy thinking about....the things we do for love.
10. What is his favorite sport?
Oh man every sport! he is a huge sports junky which is fun for me because I grew up with it. his fav though....well, for everyone who has seen fever pitch...thats my husband. You don't mess with his "bo socks".
11. Who said "I love you first"
I did! I'm much less romantic than he is though. We just got back to my apartment from a movie and he was trying to convince me passivly (he never said it out loud) not to go on a mission and stay here with him. It didn't take much, about 2 hours into the night I told hime it would be hard to leave because I was falling in love with him.
12. First kiss story
Yay I love this one! girls are so jelouse of this one. So I kinda wanted him to kiss me on our first date but he didn't! I was shocked! I was shocked again when he called me for a second date and didn't kiss me. I don't mean to sound hoochie I just sterio typed the poor guy. So our third date we drove up a canyon above kennicot copper mine. We could see everything! it was so beautiful. It was like he knew exsactly how to butter me up. (I love mountains and being outside). We talked forever in his jeep and walked around before he finally pulled me in for a kiss. I was totally speachless the rest of the night, I didn't know that guys could be so cute.
13. What is your favorite thing to do together?
There are alot of things that we used to do together that we havent had a chance to since we got married. Like hiking, bowling, and the reason we were ment for each other...SHOPPING! He is the BEST straight shopping buddy! Since we got married we love a good relaxing (free) alone night cooking a cuddling up to a good show. He just got me into Hero's so we have been renting their seasons.
14. How many kids do you have?
just the two of us! we can be like big kids though, so I havent gotten baby hungry...yet.
15. What is one of his hidden talents?
He is an insane bowler! That what made my brothers Love him! he doesn't even walk to the lane! he just throws it from where you pick up the ball and it lands half way down the lane. That is soemthing that is really sexy to me! He is also the best seasoner out there. he seasons all of our meat before I finish cooking. Its amazing!
16. How old is he?
23
17. What is his fav music?
It depends on his mood and I love that we listen to anything from country to rap to even some opera lol

His spirituality and the way he honors his preisthood. He is so excited about life and what is to come. He really is my hero.
19. Will he read this?
I think so, he is always interested to hear the jibber jabber that comes out of my mouth lol

ONE YEAR

Well it has been exsactly one year since i met my hubby rick! our first date was to the salt lake bees game. He was so nice and so easy to be around! after the game instead of splitting we went to get ice cream and take it to the park to climb trees together. you know your ment for each other when you both come up with the idea to go to the park and find some trees to climb. We now life 1 block from our now favorite park and we are loving it!!

I know i know i'm in so much trouble

So its like getting to the climax of a good book then right before the happy ending your book falls in the tub while your reading!! I realize my last blog was right before the climax of our first story. THE WEDDING!It was everything I hoped and so much more!!! So lets start from the day before the wedding because...wow! so there was so much to do to finish our perfect reception yard which was in Rick's aunts back yard. We had everyone from both side scheduled to show up around 4:00 to finish before the decoration rental company brought everything. Well I finished my final at 9:00 and then rick and i realized we needed to powerwash the basketball court before they could set the tent up because all of the chairs and table were being placed there for the night. So we ended up powerwashing and planting last minut flowers throughout the afternoon ( so much for the manicure) but I have never been able to hold a nice manicure so...it didn't phaze me :) it ended up being so much fun and so funny because we were both so ready for the wedding to finally be here so we could be off on our plane to the sunny beaches. Well around 11:00 during the powerwashing we were dragging this HUGE HEAVY compressor up a slippery (freshly stained) side walk which was wet and both of us slipped fast and hard. I had a cell phone shaped bruse on my right butt cheek and a shattered phone! This freaked me out because I was getting all of the finalizing calls. Luckily my brother came to the rescue and had an extra phone to give me. Right when i had a working phone my cake lady called saying she finished my cake but then went into labor. So her husband left the hospital to meet rick and I at there shop to give us our cake LOL! So after we got our cake safely to its destination we split so I could finish packing for the honeymoon while he kept working hard. So while I was gone the rental company got there early with the wrong chairs,and brown and BRIGHT orange table cloths and chair sashes. so my colors are brown and green:(. I love my husband because he sent them right back to get what they needed and fixed it for me. So by the end of the night we had bruises and some crazy tan lines (me with a farmers tan and my husband with a hat line across his forehead) we were good and tired which was perfect because we both slept GREAT the night before!!
So the day was WONDERFUL! We had everyone there that we love. The temple was perfect. we spent a while in there just relaxing and soaking in what we were doing. Then we walked outside into the zoo! we got married at 2 because we figured there would be less of a croud for picks and a shorter wedding day. We had 3 families in line before us haha. Well we carpooled there with our parents and took my brothers car to the reception so we could take picks while everyone headed down to the house. Well my brother told us which slot he was parked in but not the level ( its okay bro, it makes for a good story). so there we were, tux and 50 pound gown running around the parking garage looking for our car so we werent late for our ring ceremony. Luckily an angel on a golf cart came to our rescue and drove us around to find our car. We made it there and it was beautiful. our flowers were GORGEOUS!!! My mother in law is a genious! they turned out sooo beautiful. I cant wait to post those pics. We left under sparklers and spent our first night at the Canyons in park city which was so beautiful.
So the next morning we had an early flight so we decided to leave the hotel early incase of complications....smart! because we went to our place to get our luggage and realized that since we didn't have our cars...we didn't have our keyes! i am so glad we live so close to our parents...and that there were no cops out. We made it to california safe and had the the cutest white convertable the whole week! It was so perfect. We were so close to the beach that we walked there barefoot. It was wonderful.
Thanks so much to everyone that worked so hard to make our day the best day ever! we love you guys all so much!! pics are to come...

My 3 current obsessions:
1.Blogging! Jk i think i will get more into it like the rest of you once I learn how to use it haha

wow, can you say scatter-brained?

I just read over my blogs and had to laugh at myself. My blogging skills totally reflect my brain, and my train of thoughts:) Will this trait ever go away or has it become part of my personality?

22 DAYS!!!!!

Oh my! Everyone said that my engagement would fly! It felt like everyday was a year! But now looking back the last 3 months have been a whirlwhind! Now its crunch time. this week I'm moving home for a couple weeks (I don't know where in my parents house yet :)) and we are mailing off invitations! hot dang they are cute! I'm so glad we got most of our planning done, I think we would both snap if we had more to do! I promise this week once I have a chance to get my hands on our apartment and decorate it i'll post pics! So i've never been to disneyland, sea world, or prettymuch anything down in california. So thats were we are going while we are staying in san diego for the honeymoon. We are such kids it fits perfectly! I can't wait for you guys to see the reception. I never thought I would have this much of a matchy-matchy wedding but I'm loving it! its been so fun to pick out the flower girl dresses and brides-maid dresses. Shout out to my hero Megan!! Even though she has a 11 month old and is prego with twins she has been working so hard to make sure I have a fun cute wedding! thanks girl! and she looks fabulas in the maid of honor dress! Keep an eye out for the blog, we have to re-do it since we put the address on our invitations. this way everyone from out of town can have a behind the seens look at the drama of our wedding planning!!

Slacker!

So I know i'm such a slacker! Oh my 39 days and counting!! I didn't believe anyone when they said that your engagement goes by quick, it seemed like it was going to take forever...here we are 39 days away!!! WOOOO HOOO! We got our starter apartment here in the avenues. Right by the cemitary (creepy, I know) but oh so cute! We get to paint what ever color we want. Yet...who knows when we will because come on, i havent even blogged in 3 weeks :). Our ENTIRE bathroom is tile! i will have to post pics once we get stuff moved in. Rick is excited about cleaning it becuase he can just "whip the shower head around the entire tile room". I'm just happy he is volunteering for the job. We got our engagement pics back this week. I'll post some as soon as we take out the ones we are using for invitations. (we cant give you all sneek peaks!)

Wedding week!!

So we made if through finals! I say we because I was I couldn't have made it through this week without rick. He kept reminding me to breath when i was freaking out! So this next week is our wedding planning week because its my only break from school until the wedding. And other great news, Rick got a new job with way better hours. He starts this monday. This week is going to be way exciting and fun! can't wait! Oh and we found a condo! its going to be a fun project condo which we are way excited about. the only downfall is we have to wait for the lady to move into a rest home before we can move in haha! So lets hope that happens before june!

Wedding plan updates

Its so cute how involved Rick is in the planning too. Most of by bridesmaids live in ogden and my sister is in logan and my mom has been so busy that Rick has done alot of their duties with me without too much complaint. I got really lucky lol.
