Wedding Updates

So many Wedding updates. First off, we moved the date. For about the sixth time. But this time, it is staying and is not moving and gosh dang it I'm going to be a married woman on June 7th no matter what! Unlike all the other dates, Sammy's family is actually on board for this one which makes a HUGE difference. I no longer feel like crying every day or get scared every time I get a message from him that it's going to be some other horrible thing that's been said. Also, 7 is my favorite number and I really want to get married on a date that just, feels right numerically. 6/7/14 is very, very, very numerically pleasing to me. Haha!

Other good things that come with June 7th

I don't have to worry about going to school the day after my wedding.

I don't have any homework to deal with.

We can go on a baby honeymoon right afterwards like normal people. (Look where I convinced Sammy we should stay one night! I am soooo stinking excited!)

There's the number 7

The last reason I am afraid to say because it involves the word snow and I do not want to jinx things. So I'll leave it at that.

Other updates! My dress is finished and is now hanging up in my house! When my mom and I got back from picking it up, my sister was watching Say Yes to the Dress. So I put my dress on, my shoes, my jewelry, and plopped down in the recliner to watch Say Yes to the Dress in my actual Wedding Dress. If only I knew if they were having as hard a time breathing as I was.

I have informed Sammy that if he doesn't like my dress, he can go in this purple body bag. 
I'm a little nervous about my dress because even though I ordered two sizes bigger than what I was measuring, I'm still having a hard time breathing in the dress. It's so tight in my rib area. But, since it's two sizes too big, the dress also looks a little silly on me. It's way too big in the boob area and fits odd in other spots as well. I know I can get it fitted but I'm really nervous about that. Did anyone else experience things like this? I'm really nervous because my dress is so flowy, it's not a super structured dress so why can't I breathe! Ahh! 

We have moved the reception from our normal church building to the Stake center because ALL of Sammy's family is coming and I mean all of them. I'm getting a little overwhelmed at how many of them are coming! I'm excited to meet them all, I'm just like, yeah, I only know for sure I have three relatives coming. . . I know everything will work out and be fun, I just want my family and friends to be there as well. Because I love them! 

We're getting married in a park. We have a spot reserved and such. I hope all goes well.

I was gearing myself up for two days for a full fledged argument on alcohol at the wedding. I am 100% not ok with alcohol, but all fifty million of Sammy's side will be expecting it there. I had so many arguments and points and fire and anger ready to go but a miracle happened. After only a few minutes, his family agreed to respect my wish. It was so amazing! 

I'm stressed about getting our decorations, specifically outdoor lights to work in the Stake Center. In our little building, there are hooks at the percet level to hook them up. The stake center, not so much. People would be risking life and limb just to hang up some lights which is not ok with me. I want a fun, simple day for everyone. 

I called a a guy in the stake who caters yesterday. It was the most nerve wracking phone call of my life, I had no idea what I was doing and SAmmy was sitting next to me telling me things to say that did not work with what the man on the phone was saying. But, he someone understood me and is going to be emailing a proposal in a few days which I'm really excited for! If we're going to have to cater, (SO MANY PEOPLE ARE COMING) I'd rather do it with someone from the Stake who I've seen work before. 

Things are going much more smoothly now and I'm really happy about it. There's still a lot to do, but now that Sammy's family is completely on board, things are going MUCH better. I'm actually getting excited for our actual wedding day and not just married life : )

Racism, stereotypes, and plain ole judging

Being in a class dedicated to the idea of migration has really kept the idea of racism on the brain. In elementary school, the idea of racism was so defined to me, thinking people are better than others based solely on the color of their skin. It wasn't until middle school after reading many books that I realized racism wasn't jut as issue of black versus white, rather it applies to all cultures. In high school I was actually shocked to here racist statements from people I loved. All the sudden this issue became personal somewhat. (My favorite statement was from a little girl who said, it should be illegal for Mexicans to have babies. I guess I can't have kids then.)  But it wasn't until last week when we did an activity in my public health class that I realized that I myself was being racist as well. Now, this is something I am not proud of. I'm very embarrassed actually and that activity was humbling. Why am I writing about this? Because, it's som...

Toxic Masculinity

It seems like forever ago that they released that Gilette ad about toxic masculinity. I watched as people I'd grown up with freaked out about it, saying that it said that men need to be like women, and that it condemned masculinity altogether, along with other things. I crafted post after post to write on my social media, but in the end didn't bother writing anything. I didn't feel like arguing with people. But I had to share my thoughts somewhere, so here they are.  To me, toxic masculinity is exactly what it says-- ideals of masculinity that are toxic. It's telling your son that he needs to suck it up and not cry. That he can get away with more than girls because 'boys will be boys.' The idea that he can't read or watch certain media because it's "for girls." At the same time, girls are asked to watch things that are "for boys" all of the time. It's the idea that men need to repress their feelings. That they can't be sc...

Little Bit o Writing Monday

The beginning of my short story for class.  When Dora's son tugged on her pants leg, the last thing she expected was to see him holding a tooth. A tooth that clearly did not belong to him. She was no dentist, but she was smart enough to know the colossal thing couldn't have come from Mark's mouth. “Mark, where did you find that?” Dora scolded. “In the backyard.” “Show me where,” Dora commanded. Excited, Mark ran out to the backyard, Dora following on his heels. He led her over to the back of the yard, to the particular corner that couldn't be seen from the kitchen window. There, her other two children were gathered around a hole in the ground. Hole was an understatement though, they'd obviously been working on this, pit, for quite sometime. If there had been no tooth, Dora would have sat the kids down and explained how digging holes this deep was dangerous because of all the water, electric, and who knows what else lines were under the ...
