Everyone has heard of the disasters that come with planning a wedding. The dress was left at home, the best man didn't pick up the tuxedos, the bride used sunless tanner and her face was orange, or non of the pictures turned out right. Well, so far with wedding plans for me and jarred, nothing has gone wrong!
We've been going crazy every weekend that i'm in provo to get things done for the wedding and there has been no disasters to speak of! Every picture we've taken has turned out perfectly, my dress fits great (of course i can't gain any weight between now and December 29th), i haven't put on that sunless tanner stuff and i don't plan to, and the decorations are coming along just great. I haven't even been fighting with my mom.
things have gone so smoothly, but i am just waiting for the day when something huge happens, which will probably be the actual wedding day. Since the wedding day is on December 29th, it will probably be a blizzard. Plus, i'll most likely be sick. With this combonation i'll probably get a runny nose and then the snot will freeze as it runs out of my nose. Then, forever more i will be remembered as the frozen snot-nosed bride. of course, this is probably the worst that will happen, but it could still happen. I'm definately going to pack some klenex before i leave for the temple.
Does anyone have some advice for me on the day of the wedding or any kind of advice i would need for planning the wedding? i would love to have other peoples' opinions.

Oops...I didn't vote
Yes, that's right! I didn't vote on Tuesday. Could my vote have helped republicans to keep their 12 year streak of majority in congress, I don't think so. Sometimes it's hard to want to vote when I know that my vote is so small in the whole scheme of things. Plus, I'm in Idaho right now and I forgot to get an absentee ballot for Utah. oops.
Okay, now don't get me wrong, I do want to vote. I realize that we are extremely blessed in this country to even have the right to vote for who leads our country. But, i also don't want to vote when I don't know the platforms of those in the runnings. That's another reason that I didn't vote. I didn't know anything about anything about the issues. In my apartment up here in Rexburg, I feel so excluded from the outside world. Not only am I in REXBURG IDAHO, but my apartment doesn't have a TV to watch the news from. Okay, okay, I could have looked it up online...but really, who wants to do that. I have better things to do with my time, like reading blogs, talking to Jarred, and reading about hoaxes on snopes.com.
However, I do want to be someone that votes, especially when Jarred and I start having kids (how crazy will that be!? I don't look like a mom!). I want to set a good example. So, my goal for the next elections coming up in 2 years is to study out the platforms and issues and to actually go vote! I think I can do it! maybe...
all of this talking about voting reminds me of the movie You've Got Mail. you know, when meg ryan and that one guy are in the movie theater and she says, "I forgot to vote. I went and got a manicure and I forgot to vote." but, the line before that is that best. the guy says, "you want me to be quiet while a hotdog is singing?" If you don't get these quotes, then go watch the movie. The whole thing is good and filled with great lines.
