I'm Still Alive

THIS IS TO CATCH YOU UP ON THE LAST LITTLE WHILE.
I couldn't leave you in the dark like that ;)

-Summer was fab. It ended much too quickly. I spent many nights laying out on the grass with Scott talking about our future and kissing. Mostly kissing. Canada was super fun. I loved being with my sisters and just having a ball. We laughed and ate way too much. I'm really thankful to have such a wonderful family :) Fenway Park made me cry and I don't have one single good picture of me there. It breaks my heart every time I think about it. But it was amazing. And super fetching hot.
-I decided to march at the U a week before band camp. I told my boss, she almost killed me, and I bought some new socks and a water jug. I picked Scott up every day at 6:20 and we rode TRAX up to our school and had nine (sometimes 13) hour rehearsals for two weeks. It was exhausting and a real test of our attraction to one another. However, after many lunches with the bass section and me suffering through learning how to play the trumpet, we made it out alive and still wanted to spend the rest of forever together. Woop woop.
-School started and I was completely lost. It took me a week to figure out my schedule and I added and dropped several different classes. After finally getting into a groove, I really like my classes and wish I had more time to study. I am starting my major after all :) I have to work a lot more than I want to because....
-I'm getting married in five months. Yep. :) (more information will be given on a later date) (like when I have an awesome proposal story and feel okay announcing the date we picked and stuff)
-I'm getting used to my new boss and coworkers. Things will never be as awesome as when I started working at Jamba, but it's whatever. I have to leave soon anyway. If any of y'all know about any grown up jobs good for newlywed college kids, HIT ME UP :)
-I had to get a physical to make sure everything is all good and I got a prescription for birth control. So far it has just made me cry a lot more than usual and given me awful cramps. Yay. But the good news I still have time to figure things out and I don't have to get another physical until next year. HOLLA.
-I cleaned out my closet, which was honestly difficult but worth it. I feel like I need to de-clutter my entire life now.
-Finding places to live is stressful and just makes me want to cry. This valley is huge. And I don't even know where to start.
-Marching band is kicking my butt. Football season is exciting but exhausting. I love the Utes, but I'd love to spend game day laying on my couch, not sweating to death with an instrument that is so much harder to play than I ever could have imagined.
-My best friend is getting her mission call soon. The very thought makes my heart race. I'm super excited for her! I just want to know when she's leaving already!
-Peaches and cream is my weakness.
-I absolutely love my boyfriend. I love being able to go to school with him. Our preparing for eternal marriage institute class is the bomb. Also, watching him drum for two hours every day isn't too bad either. :)
-I want a kitten. Still.
-I'm just really excited for the next few months. :)

DFTBA
