if i left it up to him.

i'm sitting at kimballs kitchen table looking at wedding cake options, showing him ones i like every once in a while. not seeming very interested i decided i'd stop bugging him about it. i was very wrong. soon he had his own list of cake options to show me. and yes, you guessed it, they are as follows.

mario and tupac..

even though these ideas are absolutely ridiculous i'm grateful for a fiancee who keeps me laughing, especially during the monotonous planning days. because i am blessed :)

hi barbie, hey ken.

being the person that HAS to dress up every halloween i was a bit nervous when the 27th of october rolled around and we still had no idea what we were going to dress up as. i tried to think of famous couples that we could emulate with the least amount of effort- barbie and ken came to mind. realizing that i had nothing pink we ran to D.I. where i found the oh-so-barbie bag as seen in the picture. can i just say that the provo D.I. is EXTREMELY picked over? so disappointing. but kimball came up with a great idea to do preppy barbie and ken! so we headed home and rummaged through our closets. this is what we found :) the one of two articles of pink clothing i own and a skirt i bought a long time ago at a thrift store. kimball had no problem finding some pleated khakis and a polo ;) after stealing a pink scrunchy from my roommate as well as the bright blue eye shadow we were pretty much good to go.

we tried to look barbie-ish and plastic but it didn't go over perfectly seeing that people asked us if we were "a suburban couple from the 80's"...i guess that's partially right! others got it and thought it was cute. for a last minute costume comprised of our own clothes i think we did just dandy.

i'm happy to have a finace who is willing to look silly with me :) because i am blessed.

a little less wisdom.

got my wisdom teef out. this is just out of surgery..still don't understand what's going on. i bled through those gauze pads SO fast on our hour drive home from the bountiful office. and don't worry, when we finally got 15 minutes away we ran into traffic. by then i had already whipped out the napkins from the glove compartment..gross.

day two: this morning i felt great, stopped taking the pain meds and went shopping. by 7 o'clock that night i realized how stupid that was! a little chubby and a lot in pain.

day three: yeah..not rocking. bruising is starting and i am officially "a cute little rabbit" according to my mother. kimball says Dr. Chandler came out and announced that he got all four impacted, unsurfaced teeth out in 15 minutes. while impressive, kimball is convinced that if the doctor wasn't preoccupied with beating his PR maybe i wouldn't be so black and blue, so to speak. (oh, and enjoy the blonde, mascara-less eyelashes).

day seven: one week later and the swelling is pretty much gone but the bruising is not my best friend. with engagements in a week i'm a little bit freaked out that i'm gonna have a green and yellow face! we went and got "bruise relief". lets pray that wasn't a rip off and will actually do it's job!

although this experience hasn't been the most pleasant and i wasn't the most pleasant person during the last week (medication makes me not so fun, poor kimball) it was such a blessing to have good health care and a wonderful support system to lie to me about how "cute" i looked even though we all know i looked ridiculous. because i am blessed :)
