Month later....

Hello!

Yes I know I’ve been gone for sometime but honestly I didn’t have the motivation to write a blog or the thoughts to write about.

August 6^th Spencer and I had our reception in Tooele, Utah. Suki, and Mariah came out with us and spent the night at my parents house. Suki helped do my hair and make up for the reception and all turned out great. The decorations and food all turned out fabulous! Not a lot of people showed up, especially high school/college friend wise. That’s a little sad but I completely understand why so no worries. We had more people come then I thought though but not enough people who wanted to dance = [and I REALLY wanted to have lots of people dancing at my reception. It’s alright; at least we got our couple dance and father daughter dance. Thanks for my lovely bridesmaids and Groomsman that came and family =]

Once it was all done we hurried up and packed the car up and off to Cedar City, Utah we went to sleep before the long drive to California. The hotel was AMAZING; it was at a Marriott I believe.

Then at 6am we went down for a free breakfast and off we went. The drive to California honestly wasn’t too bad. Around 1pm I think we arrived at Sunset Beach, California. Our condo was RIGHT by the beach =] It was beautiful. (if you want to see pictures go on my facebook page)

Now we relaxed some but also had some adventures. We got a few groceries at Wal-Mart for the week stay. We went to Disneyland for a day. It was very crowded, not too hot, and we went on about 6 rides. Another day we went to Hollywood and saw all the stars on the sidewalk and took a tour of celebrity homes and other places. Sadly I didn’t get to see the handprints in front of the Chinese thing because they were getting ready for the premiere that night for Final Destination 5 or something like that. Lame! After that we went to see this beautiful garden (can’t remember the name), it wasn’t the best time of month to go because not many flowers were blooming anymore but it was fun.

Then we had a relaxing day were we rented movies, cleaned the condo, and watched TV! =] It was pretty nice but after awhile I got antsy and needed to seat out and get some sun. One night we went in the hot tub at the condo but it was more warm than hot. Thursday afternoon off we went to Palmdale! We arrived around 8pm I think and my parents were there and the rest of the Peacock family. Friday we went to six flags with some friends and I went on a ride called Goliath. Never again will I go on a ride like that. It was a roller coaster and it starts off with a 26 story drop! I screamed but not for long because it was so fast I couldn’t scream anymore. I clenched my teeth the whole time and closed my eyes. AHHHH you should have seen my face when they took the picture. Too bad we didn’t buy it. After that I stayed off the rides with my mom and we just followed the men around; my dad, Spencer, and Damien.

We ran into the other group that was with us later on and did some rides around there. We had some soft pretzels, drinks, pickles, and fun! Spencer won a tweety bird cape for me! It was a hot day for sure and around 6pm I think we left to head back to Palmdale. I was wiped! On Saturday we started getting ready for the Palmdale, CA reception. We helped decorate a little bit then Veronica and her sister Rachel helped me with makeup and my hair. It turned out very well. Then off to the reception. Not many people came at all. I was expected more people to show but there were a lot of church things going on that day. That one went by really fast; decorations and ice cream were great. Then off back to Palmdale for our last night in CA. =[ That night we took my parents to Charlie Browns, the craziest store every! =] Then Sunday morning we drove back to Utah, once again never felt like a super long drive. We didn’t hit ANY traffic until…. UTAH! =p

Once I came back to work, two days later I was working 730am-5pm while the other receptionist had her wedding/honeymoon! =] I did that until yesterday, Wednesday and it about killed me! I don’t see how people can work from 8-5; maybe it’s easier when you actually have things to do….. I finished about two books in those 6 days. Spencer and I finished Doctor Who last night and are all caught up so now I’m not sure what we are going to watch. Lol Sunday Jessica, J and his cousin came over for dinner that was pretty nice. Monday Spencer left work early and left a card for me on the door and some roses and had dinner made when I got home. Then on the bed was lots of roses with a ring pop =] He is so very good to me.

Now to be honest I haven’t really worked out the past 3 weeks BUT I haven’t been eaten much because I had a virus of some kind that wouldn’t let me eat more than 1/3 of a meal. Didn’t eat much sweets, and we went on walks occasionally especially in California. Now that I’m back to my normal work schedule I’m going to start back up again. Once I started working my new shift 7:30am to I think 2pm then I will workout after work, because by 2pm is when I have the right motivation to want to workout. =]

That may not start until next year for that schedule though.

It’s been HOT these past couple days and I’m just dying. But trying to just keep busy at work and do what I need to, which isn’t a lot.

A lot of my friends are already married or there wedding is coming up. It’s crazy! OH and Friday we saw Steve Salisbury before he headed off to Chicago. It was great to see him, sadly we received a flat tire (we were in Pleasant Grove) so we had to slowly drive back home the back way.

I am finally done with Thank you cards and MAN those can be frustrating. Lol

On Sunday I received a calling on the compassionate service committee for relief society. Then Tuesday Spencer received a call but he hasn’t been sustained yet so I can’t tell you until Sunday.  

Man have I been drained though. Now I need to get back into a normal route again. Maybe slightly alter my old route.

I dropped out of the Acne study and they gave me this cream to put on at night. It dries out my face and makes my face itch but oh well. I think it’s working…

Then my face has been kind of flaky and so have my upper arms around my shoulders. I just need to STOP ITCHING my face because then I get red spots all over.

This morning Spencer and I went to Denny’s for breakfast before work. It was nice to take it easy this morning.

That’s been my crazy life these past for weeks.
