My first rant!

So I know that no one is really reading my blog which is why I am going to rant about random stuff to fill my time tonight. I've done pretty good about keeping myself busy waiting for Lyle to get off work but now I'm seriously bored. I'm really enjoying listening to Imogen Heap to try to get rid of the starts of a migraine headache, but I need something more to concentrate on. My migraine is stemming from a "fabulous" day at work and my stupid car. I'm so mad about my car. I know it's not the most important thing in life. It's just taking everything I have to keep an eternal perspective and stay positive but having my car in the shop is really frustrating. I have a decently new car. It's only an '06. Somehow something went through the front of my car(like through the bumper), into my radiator, which in turn caused my car to heat up and burn through my engine and the entire front end of my car and only after what the mechanic assumes is driving 100 miles. For me that's about 2 days worth of driving. That's nothing. Especially when a majority of my driving is at 70+ miles an hour. What the insurance company can't understand is how I didn't hear something hit my car. I have no idea! Lately I haven't been listening to the radio very loud at all because Lyle will usually call me while I'm driving to work or home from his apartment. I have no idea how I didn't hear it! I don't get how or why this happened but there is a good chance that I'm either looking at 6-7 thousand dollars worth of repairs or having my car totaled. Hence the eternal perspective. I have to look past this and remind myself that this is just a small speck of time in the grand scheme of things. I'm just very grateful that most of my wedding is already planned. If not I would be going even more crazy than I already am. I think I'm driving Lyle crazy though. In high school, I had really really bad chronic migraines but they slowly went away after high school. I think that they are mainly tied to stress. Well lately I have been getting a lot of migraines again so I went to the doctor to go back on medication. Lyle doesn't really like medications to begin with and this particular one makes it so that I don't have an appetite. He pretty much has had to force me to eat at some meals. I'm ok if I have to make him dinner, or at family meals where there is food put in front of me, but when we just stand around the kitchen trying to decide on something nothing sounds good to me and everything he suggests just makes me sick. I feel really bad that I put him through this and it's just one more reminder of how lucky I am to have found such an amazing person to spend the rest of my life with. It's hard for me to decide which is worse, the fact that the medicine makes it so that I don't want to eat and sometimes get horrible stomach aches, or the migraines where every light and sound make my head feel like someone is drilling holes into it. Mainly it's just frustrating that all of this is happening all at once, the new medication, my car problems, trying to plan a wedding, and some small difficulites at work. I just hope that after the wedding things get better, even if it's only for the honeymoon. Just to have a week where I don't have to worry about any of those stresses and I just get to spend time with the love of my life would be enough to make up for all of this. Anyway this is a very very long rant. It's time to start making dinner for Lyle. I think I'm going to keep it as simple as possible and just throw something from the freezer on the stove. Got to love frozen food! What did people do without it?

We're getting married!

So Lyle and I are currently engaged! He proposed on January 19. He was so adorable and it was such a suprise, as much as I might try to say that I knew that it was coming. He picked out the ring all by himself. Whenever anyone complements me on it I have to make sure to tell them that because I am so very proud of him! I absolutely love it and think that it fits my personality perfectly! Our wedding day is May 14. Right now it feels like it is forever away. So far we have just about everything planned that can be done, it's just a matter of waiting around until there are other things we can do. I already have my dress ordered and the reception is pretty much planned. My dress won't get to the store to start alterations until late March so that's a bit stressful but not too bad. The only main thing left to do is decide on the flowers. My mom has been such a huge help. I started working full time in Salt Lake and going to school about a week before we got engaged so I would have had very little time to plan anything or call anyone to set up appointments. I really do appreciate her advice and all the work she has done so far! Right now Lyle is working full time and going to school as well so we don't see each other a whole lot. He works until 9 everyday but Sunday and I only work until 5. I have a lot of free time on my hands when I don't have homework to do, so this might be my outlet of time and energy when I can. I don't know exactly who will be reading this so eventually it may become me blogging just to vent and rant about really random stuff but that's ok. Anyway I think that's all that my attention span can handle right about now!

New to blogging!

So I finally gave into this whole blog thing. My mom convinced me that it is a good thing to have and I'm really bored and trying not to stress about all the stupid things in life right now so this is going to be my distraction for the time being! We'll see how it goes!
