Around the house...

I do not have any more picture of our wedding... yet... so here are some happening things around the Olsen apartment...

Trent makes some bomb waffles... love Sunday breakfasts.
Due to lack of space, I have found many creative ways to store things... hence an APRON WALL! How can you not feel bursts of happiness and joy looking at this...

and this is my baby right here. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE colored bowls and plates ( and le crueset). So I HAD to display them :)

Flowers

This was my favorite part of my wedding ( other than the sealing). It was the flowers! This is the only picture I have so far of just the flowers. My requirement was that they had to have flowers other than roses and also NO GERBER DAISIES ( puke...). Tracy Wolsey did them for me. She was the most adorable lady and she works out of her house doing flowers. Her husband is shep... from shep salon... he is kinda a big deal around here and gives awesome haircuts. If any of you are looking for AN AWESOME florist... email me... or comment here. I can give you her information.

Motivation

Ok the half marathon is less than 6 mo away and obviously from my wedding pics you all can see I am a little... well... pudgy.... I need to find some motivation to get to the gym. I was just reading my friend's blog, she goes to the gym for 2 hours a day! Geez... I need some of what she has got .... any ideas?

Bitter policeman

I am aware I am going out of order, but this was such a classic story I had to share. So Trent and I leave the reception, only to get about 5 miles down the road and the police lights are behind us. I turned to my new husband and asked him how fast he was going (it was a construction zone... and he was eager to get to slc... weird). The cop pulls us over on the awful utah freeway, he comes to my side, yes, I am in my dress and gives us a lecture how with writing on our windows we could hit a pedestrian. Yup... what a jerk. He then took our names and birthdates, and told us to get off on the next exit to wipe it off. Um.. sir... with what! All we had was wedding stuff, to go boxes and cake. We had to search for an old shirt and my poor little hubby wiped of the windows. I think that young man just got dumped, why else would he hate us!?

So we arrive at the Radisson, as in love as ever. We get the keys, head up to our room, only to see an ajoining room with people who thought cnn would be so romantic to have on the highest level possible. We called downstairs and asked to switch rooms, we get up to the new room, they gave us the wrong keys... Trent heads on downstairs, leaving me in the hallway in my dress... fun exchanges on the hallway. Bride... all by her self.

It all worked out in the end, but we look back on it now and just laugh.

The cakes!!

I have decided to post every aspect of my wedding as a review... I guess this is my blog so if you get sick of it, eh you can read another blog :) I recommend any on my side bar! I decided to have cake as my dessert at the wedding, so part of the wedding decor I wanted my cousin to make two tower cakes to display the kind we were eating, and boy did she deliver. I will be this bold... it was the most delicious carrot and chocolate cake I had ever, and I mean EVER eaten. Lemon and ginger frosting, need I say more! Trent and I DEVOURED that cake that weekend after. I really want her to sell these cakes, it really was better than anything I had tasted and they looked great too.

Ignore the ugly white wedding cake in the front, I do not want to talk about it. If you know who NOT to use, well... email me :). Let's let my cousin "take the cake" on this one... hahaha.. get it:) Ok maybe not too funny.

Mr and Mrs Olsen

Yes, we got married! It was the most wonderful, perfect day of my life!!!

I promise to blog about it soon... I have lots to say! Just getting the house organized and getting ready to start my new job!

Fun Fact 10... aka.. last one

This means I get married tomorrow!!!

My last fun fact is I love Trenton Olsen more than anything!! He is am amazing man and I am so excited and proud to be his wife and to stand by his side. Tomorrow will be a great milestone in our journey in this life and on to forever. I would like to say forever starts tomorrow but we have been working towards this point for a while and preparing for it our entire lives, it just completes it. I am so happy I have found "my person" and my everything! I love you Trent and I can't wait to be sealed to you for eternity here.

Fun Fact 9

I am running out of facts...

One thing I can think of is I have a very hard time buying anything if it is not on sale. I will not buy lettuce unless it is on sale (which it always is at sunflower), I will not buy feminine products unless they are on sale, lotion, shampoo... anything! One exception, my face wash ( but I buy it at gift time, so I feel like I get more for my money). However, there is a downside to this quirk, I buy lots of unnecessary stuff because it is on sale... I will work on that :)

Fun Fact 8

Oh goodness people we are getting close!!! I had my bachelorette party tonight, love the girls at work... had so much fun!

8- Most people have observed this but I crimp the roots of my hair- I HAVE TO! I have been blessed with the thinnest hair, I have even had hairdressers ask if it is naturally like that because they have never seen it. So if you have been blessed with thin, fine hair, go ahead... crimp it... I dare ya! You will be hooked!

Fun Fact 6 and 7

6- I can not stand to be near a person while they are eating an apple *chomp, slurp, chew, chew, slurp, chew* repeat... gross

7- I can't sleep with my hair down!! It just bothers me to no end, to the point that I lose sleep over it. Weird, I know!

Fun Fact 5

Six more days! Hope you all are preparing your fun outfits for the reception, can't wait to see you all.

Here is my fun fact 5 (it is actually kinda gross)- but I love frosting. It takes all of my will power not to dip my spoon into an open container of cream cheese, chocolate or vanilla frosting sitting in the fridge. If it is funfetti frosting... well... it's over.

The only frosting I do not like is the dyed stuff that is on the balloon cakes at the grocery store, they dye the crap out of that stuff.

I am very aware it is SO bad for me, and that I will be HUGE if I give in... but we just will not buy frosting :)

Fun Fact 4

I have an obsession with Spanish music.

Unfortunatley Las Vegas has the best station and Utah is awful.... but I do not care. It fills my soul with happiness. My hips move WAY better to musica espanola than hip hop. I also do zumba 3 times a week so Trent, I may need a salsa fix in the house once or twice, don't fight it, just join in! Who can resist a girl moving her hips to salsa music, seriously!?

Fact 3

Another fact, bathroom... my cousin's wife keri on her single life blog talked about this- which i doubt the linked worked because this blog stuff is complicated to me (free fact thrown in today for you which is painfully obvious). But I seriously have issues about going to the bathroom without having some sort of water running, it is quite the problem when I am visiting somewhere. I just can't stand the thought of someone hearing me go to the bathroom!!! Maybe when I am grown up I will build my bathroom at the end of a hall, in a padded room so no one can hear me!

ALSO!!! Tomorrow is my bridal shower here in vegas, I can't believe the wedding is 8 days away! I am so excited!!!!

fact 2

9 days...

when I do get up in the morning, I usually eat cereal ( yes, I know it is bad for me). HOwever, it is HARD for me to eat just one kind of cereal, I have to mix it! So Trent, when we go grocery shopping, we have to get 2 kinds :) k thanks!!!

Fact 1

So 10 days until the wedding :) Hooray!!!

I thought now that it is too late for trent to get out of this, I would write some interesting facts so he knows what he is getting into!

1- I am NOT a morning person, I think life should start at about 10, then I would go to the gym, eat some cereal and then get ready and go to work about 12. This should be interesting since he wakes up early, reads his scriptures and just goes about his business being so chipper. Love you honey!

12 & 11

Oh my goodness it is coming up fast... so fast I have my morning stress outs, I wake up at 5 am to stress about details and then that goes for about an hour then I am tired all day.

12- So I usually do not like my weight or the way I look ( I kinda compare myself to the skinnies around here) but Trent never does or says anything to promote that behavior. He always had made me feel so beautiful and just is always proud to have me on his arm.

11- Ok last day!!! I love Trent with all that I have, I had gone through some relationships with"so- so" boys but Trent is incredible and one of a kind. He is my best friend and I can't wait to be his wife for all of eternity. We both have our quirks and weaknesses but we know we can get through it and make an effort to be each other's advocates. I love him and all that he is and what he wants to be, I love you Trent Olsen and I will forever and ever.

13

Not most people would say 13 is an unlucky number but it just makes me so excited!!!
Only three most posts about this boy, then it is onto my quirks he has to deal with.

13- Trent always know how to take a bad situation and make it a good one. He knows how to be optimistic in rough times and know how to extinguish any fire, or any potential fires. We all know I needed a boy like this.

two weeks two weeks!!

15- Trent, I am sorry I am so bad at doing this... but it is because I am with you playing all the time! Which leads me to the next thing I love about my honey- He always suggests these fun things to do! I usually say no, because I am WHIMP (working on it, we will start with snowboarding... ok maybe just driving in the snow). He pushes me ( in a nice, loving way) to make me more adventurous.

14- This boy is SO grateful! He always makes sure that I know he is thankful for the things I do for him, and also for anyone else. People, he send a card to my parents basically saying he is grateful to marry me- who would have though that would have ever happen :) (jk, kinda). He is so thankful and in turn I am GRATEFUL FOR YOU TRENT OLSEN!!
