New Friends and a Wedding.

Wow, I’ve been busy busy busy. So, anyways, Haliee Williams and I are getting married in March, on the first to be exact. So, we’ve been busy. This past Saturday Haliee needed to get a “practice” hairstyle done for the wedding, so we went to Wal-Mart and she got it done by the coolest person there! Erica Black. A few days later we became friends, however, I would say we pretty much were already, just not “in touch as often” friends. Anyways, yesterday (Sunday) we got to meet her husband Joe Black. He’s a gamer, so we get along and understand the awesome gaming jargon just fine. Anyways the point to this story was that we made new friends and we are gonna go on a double date and it will be tons of fun! Also, Joe and I are probably going to own up some noobs on some PC games or something. So, back to the wedding stuff for now, on Saturday, Haliee also had her bridal shower and we got some pretty sweet gifts, a honeymoon, a place to live, towels, bedding, kitchenware, bathroom stuff, cleaning products, a laundry basket with detergent, just to name a few. We appreciated everything! Sweet stuff. So now, we are working on making sure we have the right building (LDS meetinghouse) setup, have an organist(pianist) ready to play, and making sure we have reservations at the place to eat — The Garden. Fun stuff, though, I don’t really like to be involved – I’m the guy. So, that’s fair right? I’ve updated some of my things on Facebook, I would have to say I like facebook over myspace anyday. The fact that everything is Ajax based is just awesome. Myspace is just yucky. Its kinda neat you can create your own applications for Facebook and stuff also. Anyways, right now, work is slow, we are moving sometime in the near future to (the company) Ogden, so I am not sure if I will be able to commute to the place, so Haliee and I are looking for new jobs and stuff, I don’t think it will be a big issue, but of course, we need jobs so, if you have any openings . Ha. Just kidding that sounds sickly desperate. Oh, last night (sunday) Haliee’s dad had a birthday so we threw him a party and got him an Sirius radio for his b-day, Haliee and I were just looking at all the wonderful things we could listen to so we HAD to go get one, so we went back to the wal-mart and picked one up, I installed it and its working great. Its really cool, she loves 80s music so all of hers is covered, and I love talk radio, so we get what we want whenever we want it. Great stuff. So, I have decided that I carry around too many things, I need to make some space, or get a bigger bag. – Just a random thought. So over the past 2 weeks or so I’ve been enjoying the crisp yet delightful taste of Diet Dr. Pepper Cherry Chocolate. I really like it. I think it takes a powerful pallet to understand the power behind this drink. At first, when you take a sip, the first thing that hits you would have to be the carbonation mixed dr. pepper and cherry flavor, after it slides down your gullet, I think there’s a very distinct chocolate flavor that just comes out and tickles your taste buds, if you haven’t tried this soda, you need to because its limited edition. Just a side note- I’m a Diet soda kind of guy, my family always drinks diet, I have learned to enjoy diet soda. So, if you’re not into diet soda, you might not like this, as Haliee says it tastes horrible, but what does she drink? – Cherry Coke, Cherry Pepsi, and Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper, nothing diet at all. If she does drink diet, the only diet she will drink is – Diet Dr. Pepper original. Me, I love the wonderful party my mouth gets from the different flavors that complement each other. Diet Pepsi Lime, Diet Coke Lime, Coke Zero Vanilla, they all are just great. Soda is great. Hmmm. What else can I blog about. Haliee and I have enrolled in Financial Peace University. A program given by Dave Ramsey. This man is smart. End of story. Great stuff. I listen to his radio show every day and I recommend it to everyone. You can actually listen online for free, however I pay a monthly 10 bux for his podcast of the radio show so I can listen to it whenever. My dad sent us the FPU kit so that we could attend, we have been wanting to go but last week (Wednesday) was that awesome storm that made redwood into deadwood and slowed traffic to a halt. So we didn’t get to attend the first week, but this week, we WILL be there. Its a great class and I believe everyone could learn from it. We are working on his program his “baby steps” and we are gettting Baby step 1 into place. You can learn more at the links above. Anyways, yeah, we’re excited for the wedding, excited for new friends and excited to get a budget in place. Overall that’s really all I have to say for now. Thanks for reading!
