To be sealed or not to be sealed?

So as I was doing my daily Facebook checking, I came across a comment on a friend's page from another. It read as such;

"I don't know what to do. My parents are looking for us to be married so they can see it all happen but his parents say that if we truly love each other, we will be sealed. Does it really matter where we get married, just so as long as we are getting married? I don't want to make my parents sad."

This really made me think. Does it matter where? Does the location of a marriage make a real difference? I don't know if I am the best to answer this question but to that poor girl...my heart goes out to her. I mean, temple marriage is a big step but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. I love my husband so much and I thank my Heavenly Father everyday for the privilege of sharing Eternity with him.

It just makes it all worth it.

What happens in Vegas...

So we went to Vegas this Spring Break for a myriad of reasons, numero one being that I had never been there, number dos, it's freakin' Vegas! So there we were wondering what crazy things we could do for a month or so before we left when Zack gets this IDEA! to bleach out his hair in order to dye it a different color every day we were there...he also talked our friend Truxton into doing it too.

Grrr baby Grrr!

When we got there the boys decided that it would be fun to all dress up the same and see if anyone noticed...

The quadruplets and Hef. Such WEIRDOS!

No one really did and if so they didn't say anything, so while Zack was being a dork with his friends at the wax museum, I was having fun hanging with the girls, watching the boys make fools of themselves, and overall just exploring the Strip. My favorite time was at Tournament of Kings at the Excalibur Hotel and Casino. Oh my heavens, what fun! We were seated in the evil, Dragon section and had the time of our lives rooting for the bad guy, the Dragon Warrior and his horse, Diablo. He still lost even though we were the loudest any 6 people in a room of a few hundred could be.

Dragon Warrior man is a hottie!!!! (He was totally outnumbered)

Vegas was so much fun and we did so much that I want to go back soon and play again so that I can see it all! I also just enjoyed being with Zack without having to worry about work or school or money...even if it was short lived. We brought home some cool souvenirs, some casino glasses and fun drink cups, some weaponry from the famous Law Vegas swap meet and a cool necklace that Zack got from the Excalibur.

I sure love my man!

It was a fun trip and I loved seeing my Britt Blue and Ty, who have left the confines of Snow to try it big at UNLV. Did I mention that we all crashed at their place? Yeah...talk about interesting, but THANKS GUYS!!!! I loved Vegas!

Wow, who knew!

May I mention that I don't post pics often?

But I'm still cute right?

So as I was cleaning today I realized that a blog is more than just a blog. It's supposed to be an insight into someone's life. So no real updates can lead to someone thinking that that someone who owns said blog might not be a blogger. Case in point...me. I am not a good blogger. Sorry.

Happy Birthday to ME!!!

So today is my 22nd birthday! Yeah...that's not that exciting. I'm really happy about all my wonderful friends and family who have sent birthday wishes and I wish that I could see all of them. A question though...how do you celebrate a birthday when you are an adult? I don't know if I like this old person thing...hmmm. Yay! Happy birthday to me!

To be a lonely girl.

So Zack has gone away for a week to work. Yes, good, work = money but, that means that I am left here in this big cold apartment all alone. I hate being alone. I hate it more than anything. I am alone because I have a job here and his job is there (there being Springville) and although I only work three days this week, they are days that make it impossible to just drive all the way from Springville to work them.

My past experiences of being alone have never been good. I tend to have a really hard time, starting right off the bat...yes, minute one. I don't think that it's because I'm afraid or scared of what being alone is, I think that it is because I don't like knowing that I am alone. Weird.

I feel as if the whole being alone thing is just another process. I am left alone, then I go for the movies and the popcorn. So far I've watched two movies and it's just 1 am, which for me is like 1 pm - due to my work schedule of graveyards. I hate that one single thing of being a nurse.

In my whole 8 hours since Zack left, I have realized how much I truly do need Zack around. It's more of just knowing that he is there...even when I know he would much rather be somewhere else doing something else. He has a way of making my apartment more like a home that will one day be filled with little Zack's running around for me to look after. He just completes the puzzle, you know?

So now for another movie. Which one, Harry Potter or Beautician and the Beast?

Newly Weds and Easter Sunday

"Just wanted to inform you all that these two are so meant.

Allie=dancing, twirling, dreaming, hoping, loving, laughing sort of girl.

Zack=thinking, working, creating, experimenting, laughing sort of guy.

It only takes a moment to see how much they love each other. Every day, a kind word, a kiss. In our family, we believe in love and in luck. May every day be filled with both."

This lovely quote was written by my ever endearing and remarkable little sister Becca, just after Zack and I got engaged. I know it's old news but I found it and had to share her beautiful way with words. She is the most adorable and sweet sister...not saying that my older sis Britt isn't, but Bee just has that something. She is the sister with whom I had to share almost everything with as a child in our room and with whom I have grown much accustomed to as being a very best friend. I love her and all our memories...good and bad. Sisters make life easier to go through. I don't know where I would be without her and Britt. If not for them and a select few others (Jenna, Jackie, Jacqui, Jess), I would not be married now. They helped me through waiting and the pain of secret fears of being "left at the altar" and any other wedding mishaps that happen to find their way into a blushing, crying brides mind. Thanks Guys!!!

Holy Swine Flu!!!

Yeah it's true...I don't have Swine Flu. Sorry for the inconvenience. I'm not contagious but I am seriously considering suing the freak who made me get the immunization that...yep, you guessed it, didn't do it's job! Arghhhh!

On a better note. I had the freaking best time at the mall yesterday with Zack and our friends, Truxton, Megan and Brigdette. Megan and I watched our husbands faces light up as they got their dream presents and cracked up at Bridgette running around. Brigde, my new little bestest friend, only came to me. It was kinda funny, she would bypass her dad completely and come right to me. I have a feeling, though, that her opinion might change. Who knows, I am just the new face right now, that will change one day.

As for Christmas being right around the corner, I can't wait to spend time with family and friends! I also can't wait to see the way Zack will ineveitably light up when he opens that one present he doesn't know about. Hahaha! I do have one thing on him! Finally, he isn't the only one with secrets!

Hope you all get to stay away from the dreaded Swine Flu!
