take my hand, i'll teach you to dance, i'll spin you around wont let you fall down


Today i went to platos closet for the first time ever. I've always wanted to go there, and i got three shirts.

I also got my book for next month. Although i really really want to read it right now but then it wont count for next month. Darn the arthur read club.

Besides that.. not much going on.

A cool etsy thing? .. Yes.
Found someone who makes pretty neat camera straps.

City lights, cloudy skies, slow dance in the rain, wont forget how it sounds when you say my name

Went to the alterations place tonight. My dress will be finished on saturday!

Besides that i didn't really do much besides follow my mom around while she shopped. Oh, actually kaleigh shaun and hannah came into town and we ate at red robins with them. That was fun hannah was all sleepy and cute.


New song i love. blue sweater by poema.

"i wish every time you came into my mind
i could write you a letter,
but words can't contain what i feel
so for now i'll just wait till we're together"

how can it be you who has shown me the light


I bought some fleece yesterday and finally made my blanket i've always wanted to make. There was robot fabric, however, it was not the right type of robots i like, so i resisted and went with whales.


I also rewatched dr. horrible's sing along blog with ben and jenna and remembered how good it is. I may or may not have bought the album on itunes?


And for today, it is sunday sunday. We had fhe and my dad made each of us take turns dressing up like an old testament prophet with towels.. kind of odd i know. But it was pretty funny.

Then i finished my book. It finished well, kind of twisted and a little disturbing. But im still looking forward to reading the next.

12 more days until im married!

Can i see how your crunchy looks?

Spent my evening yesterday reading my book (Silent in the grave, Deanna Raybourn) it has become quite good. Im looking forward to reading the rest of her series, although there are like 5 books in the series and this book is about 430 pages so i imagine her other books are about that long which im not the best at reading that much twice a month.

I was looking at modcloth again last night....

A really cool salt and pepper shaker.


And a shower hanging rack thing which i think i actually might buy. Its out of stock right now though. But i would really like it.


Also my father came home today! He's been in Houston for work all week.

La la la whatever


I've decided I want to make my own curtains for our windows. I've decided I want to make the ones that are sewn around the bar not the type that has hooks that go around the bar, i think those look too much like shower curtains. I think a yellow and white fabric would be cool?


I decided to take some pictures of the wedding stuff so far. Its pretty much all ready except for my dress, which is kind of important.

These are my shoes, ear rings, head band, and bracelet.

My bouquet and two boutonnieres i made. We went and looked at flowers to buy but all the pretty ones i liked were hundreds of dollars, so later when we were at Michaels Arts and Crafts and i was looking at their flower selection i saw a bunch i liked and decided i could make it easily myself. So i did.
The candles x 36. These will go down the little pathway where we are having the wedding ceremony. Even though it wont be too dark in Alaska at 6pm i still think it'll be pretty.

Lastly, here are the brown ties that all the guys will be wearing. My mom made dresses for all the girls which are pretty.. but pictures of them without people in them just aren't that cool.

Chads wooden ring came in today as well. im quite happy with it. Its a good one. I hope he agrees.

it'll be just fine.

Today i made deviled eggs. I found out after making them the mayonnaise expired last year.

The other day I went and took some pictures of jenna. I really like how they turned out. I used kaleighs nikon d90 so that was pretty fun to. I like it, but it is different.



To see more pictures from that day go to my flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tait14/

Yesterday I got my hair dyed. Its finally a nice dark color not green and lame.

School started for ben and jenna on tuesday.

I applied for a custodial and food service job with Madison School District today. Hopefully i get it. Im hoping for the custodial one over the food service job.

I looked at places and things to see in Seattle and found this place call Fremont Troll. I think it would be fun to see.

with a melody that climbs and then falls


I was bored on facebook looking through old friends pictures and found this picture of a cute puppy.

After seeing him i then started looking at puppies and puppies and more puppies. I do want a dog so bad. But anyways, i was looking at google and puppyfind.com which always has some really cute puppies for sale and i like the options for find specific breeds.

I have been told that my announcements have reached anchorage, valdez, and california. So that is exciting. We have also had 20 views on the website.

I am off to the eye doctor today. And then my mother is making us go to bens elementary school for his class ice cream social. Which i feel like just ben and my mom should go to, but we will see.

Also chad and i realized last night that we have a song. The beginning of this song always brings back early memories so its perfect.


I've also found a new singer i like. his name is Greg Laswell. He kind of reminds me of the same genere as joshua radin.

dark road to darjeeling

Love was good. What i expected. There were slow parts but all together it was a good movie. The live concert afterwards was very bad however. Tom was awful.

The brown ties came in. Now everyone will have a matching brown tie for the wedding.

We bought the candles for the steps. They are little tea light candles in a little taller glass vase/cups. it'll look pretty.

Ben and jenna start school next week. Ben isn't going to german school anymore. He is back at the public school so he can make some friends before he goes to jr. high next year. I think thats for the best, he was never that good at german anyways.

I have new jeans to wear today! Thats always a happy feeling.

I get married in 3 weeks minus 1 day.




Wednesday, August 10, 2011

Tell me what you want to hear.


All the announcements have been sent!

Angels and Airwaves love movie tonight. Jenna and i are going together.
And i think that is all.

Monday, August 8, 2011

Goodnight


Slippers?

Found these on Forever 21. I think its time to buy new slippers. My kitten ones are falling apart. Its time for them to go.


I'd bleed my heart out just for you.


today i brought my wedding dress in to get altered. She's going to let out the sides and then i'll come back in and see what needs to be done.

We were looking at wedding cakes online and at stores today but none seemed too good and then we were at Fred Myers and bought a slice of this chocolate cake for fun and it ended up tasting very good. Its got the flake chocolate on the sides and really thick frosting it was rather pretty. So i think we will get like two of those and a german chocolate cake and then buy one of those cake things that are different levels to put them on.

The pretty lake with the dock and lodge is booked on september 2nd so we will not be getting married there very sadly. Im thinking beluga point is where its going to be. If its raining then oh well.

Tomorrow im going to the dentist to fill my 3 little cavities. Sad. My mom is making me drive alone too so after im done and all hurting and sad i have to drive all the way home by myself. horrible i know. jk.

I made a little wedding website. Its www.mywedding.com/chadandallie so take a look at that. On the announcements we bought pink label tape that matched the little hearts on it and then typed on it the web site address in little words and stuck that over the temple words so it all looks nice. Im glad that part worked out. We will be sending them out pretty soon. Tomorrow perhaps?

Here is what the front page of the website looks like....

long long time ago


Im back home in Alaska. Its been nice. Getting things done for the wedding. We have been looking for a place to have the wedding and have finally found some where i like, its called beach lake, its out past eagle river. There is a lake and a pretty little dock that goes out into the water and then this lodge place you can rent out. We still need to call tomorrow and make sure its open for our date but yeah. Hopefully it works.

This morning i decided if i did not wake up in time for 8am to get ready for church then i'd go to the singles ward, But i woke up. haha. So i was with my family. It was actually a bett
er time then usual, im not sure why.

I've been bored so im just looking at things for fun like furniture and headbands. I need to pick out a ring for chad p since he wont pick one. Thats feeling stressful. haha. But oh well, he'll just have to like it. But anyways, here are some cool things I've found lately.

Here is the kind of headband i really want to go with my wedding dress. The first one is my favorite, then the second kind i also like as well.


Here are some cool old school fancy antique 1970's chairs from craigs list. Its kind of hard to see them. but yeah. pretty cool right? And for only $150

And this couch is from walmart and i actually really like it. From the looks at least, you can never tell until you sit on a couch if its actually good. It is $300 and comes in black brown and grey. I like the brown the best.




Tuesday, August 2, 2011

Thank me later.

Well i am still here at chaddy parr's. We leave for Duluth tomorrow then i'll be staying in a hotel for the night and my flight is the next morning at 5 am. On the way to Duluth we are going to pick up our announcements at the border.

Chad has this new app he downloaded yesterday its called gear patrol, its like for rich people. But it has some cool things. These are two things i thought were quite cool.

This is like a cool hanging basket to hang out in over the water. Very cool.

And this one is a pretty intense fish tank.

Is he poisonous?




Today is the Sabbath.

I went with chad and his family to church it was fun to be in a family ward again. I am excited to go home, I'm thinking I might go to the singles ward when i go home. That might be fun. I always get tired of being my families ward, its like I know everyone but not really? Its emotionally stressful i guess.

My mom has told me that her, jenna, mary, and kaleigh are all making their dresses for the wedding. So im looking forward to seeing what the pattern is for them and how they turn out. Hopefully good. haha. Here is the pattern that they are making them out of. The fabric is a dark brown and some gold fabric too.


Chad painted my toe nails with permanent marker. They will probably be ugly for awhile now.

Im tired so im thinking about going to my room and read my book in my bed. Maybe fall asleep too.

Saturday, July 30, 2011

I'd say, I'd go get the refreshments.

I'm here at chad parr's home. Its been pretty nice so far. We went to these waterfalls called Kakabeka. It was so pretty. I just wanted to sit and look at them for hours. We walked along this little trail for a little while and looked at nature. My favorite. While we were walking on the trail we saw this little chipmunk, it was so cute. Chad thought i was just looking at a pine cone at first, but i wasn't


Today we are going to to canoeing or kayaking to a lake where there are some sunken ships. At least that is the plan. Its pretty warm here. But it's suppose to rain today I am told.

Tuesday, July 26, 2011

You may shut off my program now.


So here is a rug I like. Way cute but $34.99. I've been looking a lot at apartment stuff. Its so cool. Like i always wanted to be able to buy things for my house. Are apartment is so cool too. Its a town house so its pretty big. The kitchen is kind old looking. There are blue counters. but still isn't too bad.

Do you realize?

Im in the Duluth Airport.

I'll be here for like quite awhile longer. Chad is in Denver right now. Then he'll fly to Minneapolis then here to Duluth.

Last night I stayed at Mary's families house. I got into my bed at like 12:30 and couldn't fall asleep until a little past 1:30. Then i woke up at 5:35am. It wasn't too much sleeping but it was nice to get to sleep in a bed and take a shower in the morning.


Those would be our announcements. I love them. Tons. They are my favorite.




Friday, July 22, 2011

Its ok with me if you don't have that much to say. Hey.

I am not pregnant.

But.. when i have a baby. This is going to be painted on the wall. Ok maybe not this this one, but one of these cool tree decal things are. I really love them.




Found on Esty.com {Search: tree wall decals}

Time to blow, out.

modcloth.com
Facebook has been suggesting this site to me for quite sometime and I looked once and the clothes seemed too expensive but I decided to look again today. I looked at the "apartment" stuff this time and there are some super clever cute things.

First of which I want is this camera. Its a fisheye lomography camera. It takes 35mm film so not super convenient but it would still be way cool. Life goal some day: learn how to develop my own film. [http://www.modcloth.com/Modcloth/Apartment/-Fisheye-2-Lomography-Camera]
This is the second camera I want.. or maybe the first? Way pretty looking, and can do all these cool effects. [http://www.modcloth.com/Modcloth/Apartment/-Diana-F-Clone-Camera-in-CMYK]
And of course anything robot I like.. well almost anything robot. So for sure this ice cube tray that makes little robots!


Just found a super pretty hotel. Love it. The colors are like the best best.

Just stop the clock because im so close now

We got our engagement pictures done!





So i like them. I think they are pretty good.

I just heard that there is a new spider-man movie coming out. But its like the exact same first spider man just a different actor. Its really strange.



This is the last week of finals. Almost done. And then I go to chad's families house for a week then back to my home. Then I get married.

Chad and I signed the lease on an apartment this morning! Its pretty cool. Its a town house with 1,000 square feet. I can't wait to live there. It'll be way fun. We are also like right next to kimberlys so thats kind of cool as well.

Tuesday, July 12, 2011

Let me take you there.

My hair is brown again.

Yesterday Chad P. and I were budgeting out our future home experiences. We came across this little zebra couch. It was cute. haha. But no we are not getting it.


There are some very pretty furniture I want at IKEA, I love IKEA. But they only ship to the closest store which is in utah. So that doesn't really work since we don't have a car that could bring it back here to rexburg. But someday, someday I will shop at IKEA.

I've skipped lame capstone class for like 3 weeks now.

We are going to look at an apartment at 4, then going to Idaho Falls.

Engagement pictures on thursday.

I started writing in my cool journal chad got me. Maybe i should stop writing in here perhaps? The problem I'm having is that I want like little pictures or things in the journal but I don't have a printer to easily do that. I have a photo album Im going to start using once chad and I get married too. I've always really really liked photo albums. So im excited for that.

Is it wrong to feel negative

Im in class.

English class. Learning stuff.

We went to Egin lake a couple times. It was cool. We bought lanterns a couple nights ago an went to egin lake at night. It was windy and the lanterns were not very good, it was a little scary actually. The second time we went it was sunny and we just walked around and took pictures and stuff. And then tonight we are going for fhe. So, lots of egin lake.




A while ago I took picture for my roommate Whitney because she is getting married. We just went to the gardens and took some. So here's a couple of those.




Chad is going home on friday, for 10 days. I don't know if i'll last.

Saturday, March 12, 2011

what am i suppose to do when the club lights come on


I have been home for curfew every day for like the past billion days. But not really. but yeah many days.

So yeah. im home. its 12:09. Im doing nothing. but im home because i have to be.

Today chad parr and i went to saint anthony and looked at what i thought was a waterfall but it turns out there is not even a little waterfall. Chad informed me that you'd just call them rapids. But during the summer i swear it looks more like a waterfall. So yeah we walked around there on the rocks and stuff and took pictures it was fun.



Then we went to kimberlys after waiting years for barbara to get ready. Kim was only here for a weekend she's going back to pocatello. It was fun, jessica and josh were there too. We played cards and rockband. I do love rockband.

I made a doctors appointment the other day. Its for Thursday March 17th 2011 at 2:20pm.

I registered for classes on Friday. I am taking Research Methods, Advanced English/Critical Thinking, Social Statistics, Family Relations, Capstone, and perhaps a Marriage class. I've added it but then i'll have 17 credits if I keep it which im not sure i want or not. So we will see. Also I don't exactly have my Capstone class. I emailed the teacher to see if he'll override the block since im not suppose to take English at the same time. But its my last two classes for my associates so I think he might. It would be silly if he denies me.

Its stake conference tomorrow morning. And Daylight savings. Im not sure I'll make it. To either.
