6 months later...

What? Where did the last 6 months go? Bryan and I have been married for SIX. MONTHS. Time really does fly when you're having fun. Which is all the time. I am seriously just so happy with my life right now, and I have Bryan to thank for that let me tell you 6 things I just love about him, cause I'm cheesy like that:

1- He is the HARDEST worker. I will never, ever have to worry about being taken care of because I know it's a priority of his.
2- You should see him with kids, it's adorable and it melts my heart. And then sometimes when he starts sentences with "When we have kids..." or "Let's do this with our kids.." it melts my heart even more. Even though it's usually followed with something totally ridiculous.
3- He may kill me for this one, but every night after he comes home from work, he pulls me over to his side of the bed to cuddle me.
4- He's a total dork and I love it.
5- He's so funny and not a day goes by that he doesn't make me laugh.
6- He will spend hours with my crazy family or drive for 24/48 hours because I asked him to because I'm selfish and I want to be with him and everyone else all at the same time.


I love you Bryan Scott Welty and I'm so happy that I am yours for eternity!!

(bonus #7 thing I love about him, even though he never smiles in pictures, he has the greatest most amazing smile around)

stop and stare part 2

we were literally everywhere the last few days. from one end of the city to the other and back. it was rainy, it was sunny. but always beautiful and always in good company. reminiscing times before maddy leaves us to go back to arizona on saturday. sleepovers, ghost stories, donuts, beaches, getting locked out of cars in the gas station (my fault), pizza, twin peaks (100 times). 

if you didn't see our music video, you should watch it.

also, bryan OFFICIALLY comes home next month!!!

or maybe these are actually as funny as i think they are.

we'll see tomorrow

we're silly and we know it

so while i was home, i met up with my 'roommates' (still haven't come up with a better name for that group of friends). we met in slc. carrie and tarah were unable to be there (c is on her mish in tennessee and t was in texas with her fam bam) so because we're weird and do weird things that other people would consider socially unacceptable we brought pictures of them on sticks (thank kim).

today we got an email of this. sister c with us in tennessee. 

i love these girls. 

it's a serious issue

the last harry potter movie came out over 2 years ago and i still squeal like a little girl whenever i watch any of the movies. or to any mention of anything related to harry potter ever... i just ordered these online:

okay, enough about hp (no such thing). meg just posted this on fb so thought i'd share cause i was literally LOL-ing

gotta love mormon humor.

i leave to palm springs early saturday morning so pardon me if i go M.I.A. which i will cause i get horrible service down there. 

and i'll also be busy basking in the sun.

did it hurt when you fell from heaven?

it didn't hurt last night but I sure am feelin it today. it wasn't from heaven but by the height of my shoes it might as well have been.

I've never been the most graceful human. but after Alexis showed up at my house lookin hot in heels, I took a gander down at my leggings, sweater and boots and decided to change. I decided to pull out my tallest pair of shoes. I joked about falling on my face but that wasn't to tempt fate, it was a joke! 

I was rocking those shoes down the streets of downtown sf. all my friends complimented me. I was feelin good. apparently too good cause life decided to humble me.

there I am, innocently walking next to melissa. suddenly, something happens. I have no idea what it was but I'm goin down.

it's all in slow motion. my knees hit the ground. I try to catch myself but no, i keep going, my chest hits the ground. I hear people around me screaming trying to help me. but does it stop there? oh no, not humbled enough yet. I roll forward, my legs up in the air behind me. 

strangers are scrambling to help me up with the most concerned looks on their faces. I look up at my friends, some wide eyed, some laughing. 

I jump up, pull my pants up (they'd fallen down just below my butt) and just burst into laughter. 

I'm the most embarrassing human alive and it's probably the funniest thing ever. shoes come off and I walk around in my holy socks. still laughing. 

still laughing to this second. 

moral of the story: I'm never wearing high heels in public again. only to church where there is minimum walking necessary.

overall, a fun night on the town. and then a sleepover after of course.

some wise words from the gosinator

basically the cutest thing ever.

-we spent a good amount of time at the beach this week

-in OTHER news i ate my saturday night dinner on a rooftop and it was BEAUTIFUL.

-you guys should check out my cousins company THRIVE

-my best friend/ cousin gets home from serving the good people of chicago THIS WEEK!

here's a laugh or two

the music universe hates me

mumford and sons played in slc last summer. i didn't buy tickets because i thought i'd be in sf by then.
i wasn't. then tickets were sold out.
mumford and sons is playing in berkeley in a month and tickets are sold out. i will also be in utah.

he is we played in utah a few summers ago when i was at youth conference.
he is we played in sf last week when i was in palm springs.
he is we played in logan last night when i was here in sf. the week before i go back to utah.

two of my all time favorite music groups just can't quite coincide with my schedule. ever.

*sigh*


in case anyone was wondering, i ate chocolate today so... that's wonderful.

i have a massive, nasty bruise on my leg. i walked into a gate.

this makes laugh every single time:

now let's all just take a moment to watch this, because, it too, is hilarious every time:

things that i love

email conversations with my 11 year old brother

('bazabadaba' translation: a made up term my family uses in a moment of excitement.)

this commercial. 

am i the only one who laughs like a maniac every time it comes on?

the tan i got in palm springs this last week

(so superficial, i know. but i'm over it)

the fact that there are rumors of wicked being made into a movie

and ya'll know how i feel about wicked.

countdowns for any and every occasion

when 2 year old insists on holding my hand in the car

('cuddle, mimi, cuddle!' ah, i can't resist him)

the city in which i live

the shooting star episode of glee.  i've heard that there was controversy over the episode but i found it powerful and emotional and i loved it.

and i'm not even ashamed to admit i cried while watching it.
