I'm an awful blogger, and you thought I was perfect. Ha!

So I still exist. I just seem to find things more exciting to do with my life, such as watch teen Mom in my apparent 51 extra minutes of the day. Shameless I know. *Sigh* I have a sinus infection right now, which one sucks. But two gave me TONS of time to be online. I have been reading a lot of other blogs and such and recently found Pintrest.com LOVE. Oh my word. Now I REALLY won't have a life, so many projects I want to do! Yet, I don't have the time or the money to do a lot of them, such is young married life(money anyways) and the time, well I hear it only gets crazier when you get married. So much for getting married to see more of each other.

So in case I haven't told the whole world already, I am in cosmo school 40+ hours a week, which is FREAKIN awesome! And Hard :/ But is going to be MORE than worth all the work and worry, and aerosol consumption. I'm not quite sure what I am going to do with it yet, I could do my own thing added on to our house someday, but I will probably rent a booth at a salon in Las Cruces NM when we move there next June!(which the world may not have known either...my bad) We are going there so the Mr.Chips can get his PhD in Math, and start teaching at a High School hopefully as soon as he finishes his Bachelors, yay! Life is great for the Newlyweds, tomorrow is 6 months, and it has FLOWN. We love being in love, it makes everything so much easier when you have that support system by your side always. Heavenly Father sure has a perfect picture of what we need in our lives! We are SO loving our new house, love love love how close we are to everything now, its so lame how lazy we are now that we live in a super small town, we are literally 5 minutes closer to everything and it feels like it makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD. so.lazy. Its cool we love it :D We unpacked our last box last week and decorated and all that jazz, I discovered I REALLY want to build our own home, you can do SO much more with it! I love that my Brother and his wife Keri totally revamped my Gramsy's place, it still has her heart, but it is all them and that is just happy :D

Between the two of us we have 5 jobs. Yes we still see each other. No, not very much. Chip works at R&R Pizza delivering, and as a Math/Chemistry/Physics tutoring job there and I work at Copper Steer Steak House Bussing ( good tips, bad rep) and we both Ref Little kid soccer games in Pima. (free whistle I think YES) and so there is a typical day in the life of us. Long and fast and usually pretty full of laughter :D We are doing really well and well I don't know when i will blog next, but I am sure we will be doing great then too :D

EPG

P.S. I shaved my head.

This ALWAYS makes me feel better :D

I need an old Jewish Grandpa right about now...

So these last few weeks have been the kind people always talk about in testimony metting, "I'm going through a really tough time right now...." blah blah blah. I'm not sure how to go about fixing all of it, and sometimes it just seems like I am over reacting. Lots going on thats for dang sure, my hours at work have been cut significantly for no apparent ( to me, or anyone else around for that matter) reason so that is REALLY upsetting due to that fact that I have bent over backwards doing lots of things in order to fullfill duties for this job, I can't help but think that its a test on the managments part and that after a week or so the hazing would be over. But alas ( I feel wise using that word haha) it continues for almost a month now! Poo! I can't get it off my mind or my chest! Chips helps ALOT, more than anything else, and the only other people that really know whats up are my immediate family ( a few) I just haven't had that girlfriends thing lately, some are moving ( so so so so sad) and some getting hitched ( which is SUPER happy!!!!!) But I can't bring myself to rain upon those parades now. I just need some relief, and somedays I get the feeling that everything will work out and I can continue to work hard because its appreciated, but some days it just feels as if no one there would notice if I showed up. Grrrr.
Greed is a serious problem in our society. I'm using this to vent can you tell?
Well to make myslef feel better I should find all the awesome things going on,
School gets out this week! ( for two weeks, then its off the summer school lol will it NEVER END?! :P)
I get to keep my scholarship for next year which is awesome cause we didn't know if it was for a year or two! Yipee!
I have been reading liesure books again cause school is out, so thats fun, right now I am reading "The Girl With The Dragon Tatoo", good read, its funny how when they change it from Swedish to English some of the spelling is different haha
That pretty much sums it up, I have an awesome husband, that should be mentioned :D He does so much to help and it makes a huge difference, I love him more than I could ever even begin to express, he is my knight in shining armour :D I love him :D
Oh ande we decided we are going to NMSU next year! Woo hoo! Hello Cruces! Mmmm sunshine :D
So as for the title, I feel like right now would be the proper time to have that cool old Jewish Grandfather, with the cool accent, who always has a pipe and the cute little vest to tell you some quippy amazing life changing quote that you don't get till after he walks away. That would be nice right now, but until that happens, I will have to stick with Juno to give me advice, sing it Ellen Paige!
Hope everyone is doing great this week, life really is beautiful ya know!

I'm so blogcrastinate!

I am a blog procrastinator! Spelling? I always wait till I have entirely way to much to put down to decide its time to blog again, *sigh* I will try to be better :D
Anywho, wedding check, hubby check, apartment check, new name changes check, school, not check :P
However, school IS almost done and I am THIS close to being done with crazy Mr. S. oh my word, he needs his own show. He would be funny in Britain, but no one here finds him funny. Just odd, and weird mustached. To each his own however.
Work prevails, I will go to a special Zumba certification in June, I am actually exited to go, although its in icky Yuma, but I think my friend form work is going too, so we might just make it a fun girls trip :D
Being married is the best part of life. Can I just shoot a plug out there, if your not married, DO IT! It is pure awesomeness. But don't do it too soon, or I will call you a Thatcher native. Sheesh. But no really, its awesome and I love every passing second. My husband helps WAY more than I ever thought a man would growing up. He never ceases to make me laugh smile and giggle just like he did before we were dating and he was still " that hot guy who is CRAZY smart in my Chem class" I know I totally have the right to be mushy still, after all I have only been married a month, but I have heard enough mush around me for the last few days to last a life time. So there was my shpeel, hopefully I didn't get your gag reflex TOO much ;)
In other new, The Chip and I are heading to Cali this weekend for a freakin PHILLIE'S BASEBALL GAME!!! All in all, he is WAY too good to me, best wedding present EVAR!
We will head out early early early ( did I say early? Cause I actually meant EARLY!) Friday morning, I mean we are talking my old work hours early, 4 AM baby. Disgusting I know, but in the end worth it. It is only a 8 hour drive so thats not so awful he will drive most of it, driving makes me sleepy when its longer than a few hours :P How unfortunate for me ;) We will play at the beach, actually play!!!! Like in the water! I have been twice but both times I walked onto the beach then off, Dad isn't much of a water bug. So now Chip insisted I play in the water :D I am stoked :D Then its off to the game and then Saturday we will go tourist it up in LA :D and then off to Mesa for the illustrious Easter Pageant! Yay! Great weekend right! Then next weekend a Diamondbacks game for his sisters Birthday :D Good couple weeks yes I will say so myself :D All in all life continues to be busy, I'm not sure how I had time to plan a wedding oh my dear goodness I have no idea, but it was beautiful :D Pictures to come when I'm not feeling lazy :D Anywho have a good one!! Much love,
EPG ;)

Blogtastic!

Life is moving. Speed of light fast! "C" as Mr. Morris would call it. Its a good thing though, unless your not done planning your wedding, then its scary haha
But alas the Oh So Wise Senior Chip has assured me as he always does that everything works out :D And it does, I had this feeling that the Stake Presidetn wouldn't be here to get us our recommend interviews when we needed them and low ande behold, the Bishop calls us last night and lets us know to come in that night and get it all started so we could get them before the Stake President is gone for like a month! The Lord loves us! But i must admit it is getting harder and harder to not want to pounce the Chip. Thank Heavens for an early work schedule atht makes me go to bed at like 9! haha But it is going so well and I am getting unbearingly excited! Things here and there have happened with the planning that weren't expected and they are wonderful. You ARE right Mr. Chip, they are working out! Yay!
As for school, I think I'm going to have to take stats over. Poo. But maybe I will get it the second time, last time I took a test I thought I did awful and I got a B! This time I REALLY think I did awful haha Oh well. I did my best which is really all I can ask for! Astronomy labs are this week! Sweet! Upa ll night with the stars, the way life was intended :D
Zumba is going well and my work schedule has slowed down by more than half, I went from 4 classes a day to one! But this will only be for two weeks, then its back to two classes, much more managable :D I LOVE my job, and the fact that I have lost 15 pounds or so doesn't hurt one bit :D
I must admit watching hte people who get all dressed up to work out and come and dance like they know EVERYTHING crack me up, I'm a teacher and I mess up ALL the time, and I just stick my tongue out and keep going, it happens. Those particular ladies know that they put in WAY to much effort, relax its Zumba :D We have no mirrors for a reason haha It was just on my mind, but now its off :D
Hope everyone has a great week, I know I will casue I am getting married soon! Happy! :D

Pillows, feathers, food, and fabric blah blah blah!!!

So in the midst of planning a wedding, spening as much time as humanly possible with The Chip,working over 20 hours a week, a full load at school, healing a torn tibialous, and trying to live a semi-Emilee-normal college life I have realized how easy it is to get distracted from the point of it all.

I am neck deep into planning, a rather fantastic if I do so myself, wedding which will occur on my favorite day March 17th, to my favorite person, the priorly posted The Chip. And I have noticed that everyday I get EXTREMELY exhausted ridiculously easy, like I need an hour and half nap EVERY STINKIN DAY! I love napping don't get me wrong, but I hate that I NEED one to get through the day, its like I entered my fourth semester of college and suddenly turned 40.Gross. Anyways, I was going through a wedding blog that I follow regularly and happened upon a bride who spent thousands of dollars, a year, anger, tears, drama, and hastle for something that lasted about 6 hours in all. She talked about how all the trouble, while worth it in the end, was to her unnecessary in the end. The whole point of ALL of it was to celebrate the fact that she was to wed her love. I found myself totally understanding every word she was saying, minus the thousands of dollars,drama, and anger parts thankfully. Somewhere, between the swatch colors, the after wedding dress pattern, the invite background color, the literally hundreds of peacock feathers all over the house, the ribbon, the lack of ribbon I actually need, the colored envelopes I lost true sight of the magic that the pre-wedding engaged Emilee beamed about. I AM MARRYING MY SOUL MATE!!!!!FOR ETERNITY!!!! Why would I ever in any way shape or form EVER put any of those things in my mind before him, and before the joy that enters my soul when I think of seeing him on the other side of that altar? Satan has a very sneaky way of not only tempting and creating problems before a marriage, which is all a very different topic, but also stressing you out and making whats really important NOT in the for front of your mind. I am really grateful that I had a chance to read that blog, it really made me hit the breaks in my brain and realize that I have no reason to let stress tire me out merely because there is lots to do. I have time to finish the Maid of Honors hair piece, and to fit The Chip's shirt, I have time to talk to the cake maker, and I have time to find shoes. But I do not have any room whatsoever to ignore this most precious time to appreciate and love my one and only while we prepare to be sealed for time and all eternity, because the excitement and happiness we feel right now will never be replaced.
