We made it!

Well... I sure use this page a lot! Not. (That's sarcasm. A language I'm fluent in)

I guess to give whoever reads this and update... Logan and I got married and moved to Oregon. All within the same month. I refuse to ever do anything like that ever again. Ever. Anyway here is a recap of the best day of my life, so far:
Well...we finally did it! The day started off with him waking up at like 4 AM and then me waking up at 9AM to my mom calling me to tell me my aunt will pick me up. I'm soo happy I stayed home with him that night because the whole morning was fairly calm. The only bad thing:  It rained the whole day! I wanted an outside wedding, but we had to have it inside. Oh well. My aunt and MOH came and got me around 11 and then we headed to the marina to finish with decorations. Then my mom and I went and got our hair done, then went back to her place for make up and getting dressed. 
We were running kind of late...so we forgot to put my necklace on! But we went over to our friends tattoo shop...signed our marriage certificate. Then DH and I got to go back to the marina by ourselves. Then we got pictures taken, and people started showing up early. At 6:55 we went to "hide" and around 7:10ish our ceremony started with DH walking down...and when he started walking that is when the nerves hit me. But once it was my turn. I held my dad’s hand and everything went perfect! We did our own ceremony, and during my reading I got choked up and almost couldn't finish it! But I did, and it only lasted 12min and 44 seconds which is exactly what I was going for...short and sweet ceremony!

After the ceremony my dad announced us and we went and sat at our sweetheart table. My mom then brings over a star war lunch box, and in it was spaceship shaped sandwiches for us (shaped like a tie fighter and the millennium falcon), so we ate and then went around and talked to everyone. I met some of his relatives for the first time...and they had said even though the ceremony was different and unexpected they still enjoyed it...which made me feel awesome!

Then we cut our cake, with my sword that we exchanged during the ceremony, and then most of the people left. Then we did our rockband song, and then we cleaned up, went home.


I left the damn pic disc in Iowa :'(

So yea, we got married August 5, and then we moved Aug 15. 

Recap of our trip:
We got all of our crap to my mom’s garage, and then drove around saying good-bye to everyone. It was one of the hardest things I have ever done in my entire life. BUT I frickin' did it! Anyway...Logan was beat from moving everything all day, so I drove to Mason City to spend the night at Grandma Arlene's one last time. We get there at about midnight, and go straight to bed. The next day we drive around Mason saying good bye to all my family there, and then we head north to Minnesota. Once we got there, we headed west! We went through South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington and finally Oregon. The most annoying state was Montana. We tried to stop there for the night in Billings, but it was the fair...so there were no hotels for 100 miles. WTF MONTANA! So we find a creepy hotel, and stay there for the night and then we start on the road again. It took FOREVER to get out of fucking Montana!  We also found a testicle festival; we stopped there for a bathroom break. We should have kept going...scared the crap outta me! So then there was Idaho. Was pretty, but I don't think I'd want to live there. Was dark when we got to Washington, and we made it home at 4 A.M. Pacific time. :)

The job hunt has sucked. But we're still hoping something will work out. I had a job for about a month...and it was a mutual decision that I'm not good at telemarketing. Well...I was improving, but not fast enough I guess. But yea. 

That's my life.
