Branded... a Skank

Derrick and I went through the temple on Saturday.

(did anyone else feel the earth shake?)

Yay! We loved it and everyone who came to support us!

It was a way good day EXCEPT...

Yeah, yeah, I know what you're thinking.

I've heard it all, and got all the looks.

But it really is a curling iron burn. I did it on Friday.

And it's Tuesday and I still look like a hooker.

I'm going to start telling people that I had a dream I was doing it with Edward Cullen and I woke up with the mark on my neck and then I'll rub my arms like I have the chills.

And then I'll squeal

"AHHH GO TEAM EDWARD!!"

The poor ladies who helped me through the temple...

I might as well have tattooed my forehead.

I'M A FORNICATOR

I had to go purchase my G's and my temple dress and stuff with that on my neck.

Like I said, I got some looks.

Acutally IT got some looks.

It's like I don't have eyes anymore.

I can only imagine what they were thinking.

"She has no business in garments."

"Does she NOT know what "Hazard in the Horizontal" means?"

"She must be from Tremonton."

"It figures, she's not even wearing a CTR ring or a WWJD bracelet!"

"What the flippin fetch is THAT harlot doing in THIS store?"

I'm dying!! I hope it goes away.

I was bored Sunday waiting for Derrick so I was taking some pics in my car.

In this one I was trying to give a serious emphasis.

And that look, ladies and gentleman, is the EXACT eyes bugging out of the skull, tight lipped, veins bulging out of the neck look that I used to get from my mother when I was in trouble.

Scary huh?! I do need the lips a little tighter

:( My poor kids.

Don't Drop the Soap!

I've been having a moment of silence
for the stressed sickly comatose state of my brain.

My friends were really worried about it
so they threw me a thermometer theme party!

And these thermometers were extreme!

Instead of having one round part on the bottom like this....

The theremometers had two round ends and they were all turned upside down.
I know it sounds kind of weird, but I just kind of went with it.

I guess they were feeling bad for my sick stressed out brain
so I got double the thermometer power!

And we had EVERYTHING thermometer.

Thermometer balloons, thermometer straws, a thermometer cake,
I even had a veil with two headed thermometer sequins all over it!

Talk about good times.
I'm feeling much better!

They called Derrick and asked both of us Q's about each other and for every one I got wrong I had to chew a HUGE piece of bubble gum.

Derrick thought it was hilarious so he kept giving off the wall answers so I would get them wrong. Just for that. I'm wearing my lingerie over my G's on our honeymoon. And then when he acts like it isn't hot I'm locking myself in the bathroom and calling my mom.

Haha, who's laughing now, chump?!

And then a very sweet couple we know threw us a Couples Shower!

This is the only pic I have.

The guys we invited were kind of freaked out about it,

(especially my dad)
but it turned out to be way really awesome freaking fun blast!

We got lots of marital advice.

One of the best ones was about fighting naked.

It turned into this big joke and I don't think

Derrick's parents thought it was very funny.

They had the whole unapproving/awkward laugh goin on.

I know some couples who fight for weeks.... Ew.

And THEN Derrick's Mom and his sisters threw me a shower

and my sisters threw me another shower!

Here's a pictorial tribute to them both.

So, lots of showers means lots of

presents, laughing, shrieking out, awkward silences, hugs, pics, perma smiles...

Gotta love it. :)
