Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue...

On Tuesday (August 24th) Kelsey, Lisa and I loaded up the car and headed to Boise for Christines wedding!! It was a long drive but not a bad one. We talked about boys the whole time...Well Lisa and Kelsey talked and I listened intently :) We got there at about 6pm. First we went to the Boise temple and they were taking pictures. They are so cute. Then we headed to the hotel and waited. Waited for the bridesmaids, then waited for the bride. We were starving by the the time we headed to IHOP! It was delicious, but I think that's partly because we were starving! We then got lost heading back to the hotel, which lead to a long detour. :) After getting back to the hotel we all crashed. The wedding day went by really fast, despite the fact that we did a whole lot of waiting. They both just looked super happy when they came out of the temple. it was great :) After they took a ton of pictures we all headed to the Golden Corral and stuffed our faces. It was delicious. After food we went to Ontario for the reception that started at 6. It was a great day and I am so happy for them! We headed out about 9 (I think) and didn't get home till 3:30 am. It was a long day.
All the wedding stuff and Kelsey talking about what she would like for her wedding got me to thinking about MY wedding, some time in the distant future. I found this dress that I really like, it's pretty I think. The sleeves will have to be adjusted a little I think but I just really like it.I just thought this cake was pretty :)
I've always really liked rings with three diamonds in the middle, so something like this, with or without the 6 little diamonds on the outside.

Thin

Everywhere I turn I'm bombarded with
"Eat this!" "Drink That!" "Be Beautiful!"
All at the aim to be thin.
I shudder when I hear him say
"Stop eating, that's how you loose weight"
Why can't I just be me?
Do I have to be a paper cut out of every girl in Cosmo to be beautiful?
Apparently.
"Wear you're hair this way,
You'll get a guy then"
"Once you loose 40 lbs,
THEN that guy will call"
Only once you conform to societies idea of beauty
will you have a date on Friday night.
I don't need you to tell me I'm not good enough,
I tell myself that every day
Every hour
Every second.
I look in the mirror and see a strong independent woman
screaming to get out
But she gets pushed aside by all those voices telling her to stay inside
and be quiet.
Someday I'll find a guy
who loves me for me.
And it won't be because I wear my hair a certain way
or lost 50 lbs.
No, It's going to be because that girl in the mirror finally fought the urge
to be thin.

Things I miss...

I miss my friends, the ones who made me laugh.
I miss sleeping in a room with someone instead of being alone.
I miss having purpose in my days and not just wondering aimlessly.
I miss being so busy you barely had time to go to the bathroom, instead of having so much time you don't know what to do with.
I miss doing my own laundry and not having to tell people where I'm going every second of the day.
I miss being happy because I'm having fun, not because I have to be.
I just miss everything and I can't wait to get back to my life.
