Skin Allergies

Well, now Ryan and I have found a place to live that's only about $350 to live plus utilities. It's in a pretty good neighborhood and the guy who owns it is really nice. It was a first deposit first gets the place deal, so we rushed over there. It's a pretty big place. There's a living room, a study/storage area, a bedroom, and a mostly newly remodeled kitchen. However, the toilet is in a different room as the rest of the bathroom. Kind of funny, but I think it could be somewhat amusing to have that experience in a house. It's not furnished, so we'll have to dig around for some temporary furniture since we won't be here too long, at least not together.

I just did a NuSkin dealy at Una Tontaria's house. I scored a lousy 18,000. Apparently that's bad. I don't get enough veggies or something. I should probably eat more of those and take supplements or junk like that. I don't think I get enough Vitamin C either, so I want to fix that.

I'm also using ProActive, which is kind of working. My nose is allergic to it. It's really dry and itchy. Really sucks for me, but Ryan thinks it looks okay, mostly. I was looking at Nuskin stuff. Maybe that will help. The problem is that I'm allergic to a lot of stuff, it gets dry, and itchy. If only I was made of money. That could be fun.

Anyway, I think it's mostly related to stress, most of these issues, so maybe one day I won't have as much and I'll be great or something.

Anxiously engaged in a sweet raise

Finally. Took him long enough. I mean, hurray! I got engaged on Wednesday to my boyfriend, Ryan, and it's exciting business ya'll. He asked me while we were slow dancing and I knew it was coming. I said yes, obviously, since I'm engaged to be marred. I had to tell my whole New Testament class, which was embarrassing and nerve wrecking for me, but now I don't have to do that again.

He's already talked to the folks and has met a few members of the fam. Here's a picture of my ring.

I've also picked out a dress, but I have yet to try it on. As Seth would say, "It's such a great deal!" I'm excited for it. We're planning on December 22 in the Nauvoo Temple, but it's not final yet.

We also just merged phone plans to save us twenty bucks a month from our old plans. And to explain the rest of the title of the blog, I just got a raise in my job just because I've shown that I'm responsible. Pretty much. Now I'm a lead Custodian. Whoo hoo! I guess. Now I'm making $7.58 an hour. That should help me out sufficiently. Hopefully. Yup.

Anyway, I also met Ryan's sisters, which was a mostly good experience. They're nice girls, and it's fun to see the sibling interaction. I also talked to Ryan's dad, Daryl, tonight. We're already on a first name basis. He seems to act a lot like Ryan, so we should be fine there. I also met his mom. They all seem to be really nice and friendly people.

Sorry kids, but I can't get a picture of my dress. It's pretty sweet though. I like it at least. And soon the whole entire ward will know, since Ryan's coming with me to church on Sunday. What a shame he can't come to Relief Society, since I'm singing for the "musical experience" so I'll probably do a hymn or something. It's been a long time since I'v performed a solo, so hopefully it'll all come out right.

BLT Sunglasses

What is up with people and wearing sunglasses inside? I don't get it. Is it a cool thing or something? Does it boost their self-esteem? My Relief Society President wore them recently, but that was because she had been in a car accident and the sunglasses were in place to cover up the huge bruise on her face. Poor girl. Anyway, why should any other normal person feel the need to do that? Apparently I'm having a grand old time venting out that intersting fashion choice. It's different if someone's about to walk outside, or if they're just sitting on their head, not their eyes. But when it's around inside for a long period of time, you'd think they're notice if it was dark inside, but then again, those college students, you never know.



Here's a funny tale for all of you people. I went to the Training Table with Ryan the other day, yesterday actually, after the priesthood session of conference. I ordered a BLT and when we picked it up at the counter, I thought it was looking a bit slim. So I went to our table and sat down, then studied the menu's description of their BLT to what was in front of me. All that was on my sandwich was several slices of bacon, and shredded chedder cheese. Definitely not a BLT. So, I went up to the counter and told them my sandwich was missing some stuff on it. I had never really complained before about food, but this was a bit ridiculous. At the counter, they all started laughing, and informed the person making the sandwiches, about ten feet away from me, that he needed to complete it. I was missing the L and the T part. So they added it, and I was totally fine with their service. I just thought it was really funny.
