extra extra read all about it!

I had this moment in the dressing room yesterday at TJ Maxx. And not to go all "that moment when.." on you, BUT, that moment when you're trying on clothes in the dressing room and you think to yourself "Self, that shirt is way to young for you, you look like an old person trying to pass off teenagers' clothes." Then I took the shirt off and thought about how old I am. I'm not saying I'm going to start shopping in the old lady "Womens" section of shopping stores, but I will definitely be paying attention to what I'm shopping for more. I feel old.

In other news the wedding......the wedding. sigh. lol. let's just say it's happening one way or another. haha. I'm laughing because I'm THE WORST wedding planner ever. I can't make any decisions, I take no initiative in making things happen, so much so, that I haven't even picked a photographer yet even though I had a ton of recommends on facebook. I need to get on that for real though, because I gotta get engagements taken SOON. so soon.

I got a job for the summer. My best friend from high school, Laurie (whom I love to death!), helped get me hired because her husbands dad owns the place. I always wanna laugh when I tell someone this because it's the last place I thought I'd ever work, but I work at a tanning salon. LOL. It's funny because if you know me then you know that I don't even like to be tan. I feel like it makes me look dirty. Idk I'm weird. But really, when I go to the beach I slather on the sunscreen, I'll try to wear a hat or something to block my face, or if I'm laying out I'll throw a shirt or towel over my face. Anyways I actually really have enjoyed working there so far. The girls that work there are all nice and it's a pretty good job for me for the summer because it's part time and is just a little something extra for me to occupy my time with since AJ works 24/7 it feels like.

And the BIG NEWS of the month of May, I saved the best for last:
AJ got his melchezidek priesthood! WOOHOOO!! (I hope I spelled that right)
But really today he got ordained and even though it was in tongan and I couldn't understand I was so happy for him and knew that he was being blessed with the power of the priesthood. I'm so proud of him for nagging our (sorry to say, but it's true sometimes) unorganized bishopric/stake leaders. I love that about him. He knew what was right and what he had to do and he just stuck with reminding our bishop about it and meeting with them all the time to talk with them and keep them updated on his worthiness. I'm so happy that he's taking steps to be a better man for himself. Something that the stake leader said in the meeting that stuck out to me was that if the world really understood what was happening any time someone was ordained to hold the priesthood that it would probably be in the news and on fronts of newspapers. When he put it like that it really kind of put in perspective how important and special it is to be a member of our church and to be amongst worthy priesthood holders. He said even us as members kind of take it for granted because it happens so often, but that it really is very special and an important step. I am so proud of him and happy/grateful for him.

bob loblaw, the end.
