Adam was Sick.. sooo... I wrote A LOT!

Adam is a very sick boy! He has been quarantined and has been in his room for 4 days so far and for at least 1 more day. Supposedly everyone is saying that he has the Norwalk virus… a lot of people on cruise ships get it. (If you are interested please look it up.) Anyways, I think he just has a stomach virus. To say the least, I am VERY bored and sad that I don’t get to hang out with Adam until maybe Monday afternoon. I woke up around noon, did some laundry, went to the library to use the internet for a little while until it decided to stop working, then went to Radio Shack to try to change my prepay phone over to an unlimited talk phone so that I can actually talk to people but what do you know, the network was down, then I went to the grocery store to get Adam some "food that isnt snack food but isnt real food," I ended up getting him pretzel sticks, bugles, bananas, Gatorade, and club soda, and instant oatmeal. I think I did pretty well finding something in between real food and snack food, if I do say so myself.


I took him the food and then talked to him through his window from downstairs. I was pretty grumpy cause I havent been able to be with him or touch him for the past 4 days. I turn around and one of the other drivers is crouched behind a bus taking pictures of us… haha I turned around and said what are you doing you creeper?! Haha he was a paparazzi I guess. Anyways, if we get the pictures Ill share them with you. We talked for a bit and then I rode home on my bike back to my trailer and ate left over frozen pizza and watched the movie A lot like Love. Well half of it, almost all of the movies here at my place are scratched and only work for half of the movie. And on top of that, we don’t have real TV sooo I get to watch movie previews and halves of movies.



Here are a few random thoughts…


If you are trying to make a salad, it is never a good idea to try to make it and stir it in a small bowl. You will only make a mess.




I think bikinis are a great idea. Here are a few reasons why I think this… Upon the thought of wearing one someone will be more apt to eat right and work out. Bikinis also spare the wearer the awkward pull over or partial undress when needing to go to the bathroom. Bikinis also limit the amount of area that has tan lines. They are also able to give your boobs a slight amount of lift as compared to the smoosh that is created by the one piece swim suit. Bikinis also come in many great patterns and designs.



I love watching movie previews. I like being able to watch only the good parts of the movies and get a general idea of what the movie will be about and then if I really want to I can watch the whole thing. Movie previews are like getting a tray of samplers or hors d'oeuvres .. You get to have a little bit of everything all at the same time.



I hate it when girls chew gum and leave their mouth open and make the loud smacking noise. It is SO annoying, just close your mouth and chew your gum just like normal people.



I like being here in Skagway when I can hang out with Adam. And when I cant, I get really bored. Im enjoying myself but I am getting very excited to get back to having a car! I like riding around on our bikes places but I am tired of going to the store and only being able to get what I can fit in my back pack.



Im working on finishing planning the little things for the wedding but it is getting to be pretty difficult. Adam and I have tried to finish doing our announcements and get them uploaded and then sent to the printer but we have run into a few difficulties. We worked on the announcements for a long time before we left to come up to Alaska for the summer and we thought they were done but then it turns out the our pictures that we had uploaded were low quality resolution… SO after we got up to Alaska we finished putting them together and then tried to upload them.. But at the library the bandwidth is too slow so we couldn’t upload them. So I was about to mail my flash drive to my sister Bec but then one of my coworkers was able to help me get our announcement uploaded to the website. After we uploaded it, we werent able to preview it so Im having my sister preview it and then send it to the printer. Hopefully this will get sent off quickly and then we can get them mailed out to everyone of yall. My sister Bec is going to put the announcements together and mail them out. She is helping me SO much with everything. She is the best older sister ever. And Kat is the best younger sister ever. :) I think we are going to get internet at my place here in the next week or so! Im so happy. This way I will be able to finish looking at things online for the wedding and getting everything in line for the big event only 69 days from now! Crazy crazy, its coming up so fast!


It turns out that my little sister Kat is going to come up to BYU for school here in the fall so that she can hang out with Adam and I. Yippie! And we will be able to go to concerts and sporting events and everything else together... Also my twin brother John is going to be going back to school in the Fall too. He has been graduated from college for a little over 3 years. He first went to LSU and got an accounting degree. It turns out that he didn’t get enough school and is going to be going back to school for an engineering degree. Good Job Johnny. I tried to convince him to come up to BYU so that he could come hang out with Kat and I and Adam and play in the snow.


I need to get a new camera. I have had my camera since I was a freshman in high school. I have loved my camera since I have had it but it is being funny now. My camera has decided to act like an old timey camera. Even though it is a normal digital camera, the flash has decided to start smoking when it goes off, it is pretty funny to watch. I think in a few days im going to go look at the Radio Shack in town for a nice camera. Im excited to get one so that we can both have a camera to take amazing pictures of our Alaskan adventure.



Adam and I decided that we are going to spend our fist holidays alone, only us! Im excited for this, it should be really fun. These are our tentative plans so far. We are talking about going to Las Vegas for Thanksgiving for a few days. Then for Christmas was are talking about taking a cruise somewhere. Adam gets discount cruises from his company that he works for up here in Alaska. We are trying to decide on a place that we would like to go. Any suggestions? We want somewhere that is warm and sunny for the Christmas holidays.


The other day we found some really cool dice at a store called Corrington Ivory. They are stone dice that are many different colors that are swirled together. We bought them so that we can play the game Farkle! We played this game a few times on our way back from our trip to Canada for Memorial Day weekend.



Last night I was thinking about how great of a Christmas present Adam got me this past Christmas! He got me two Eli Young Band tickets for their new years eve show that was in Houston. I ended up taking my little sister to the concert. This was the coolest present for Adam to get me for a Christmas/ New Years Eve present because they are my favorite country band! This concert was amazing! I had so much fun there with Katherine. The only thing that could have been better was if Adam would have come down to Texas for a quick visit and for the concert. Maybe next time huh?!! :)

I want to go see them again really soon!!






You want to know something crazy? So it turns out that my other best friend, Tamanna, is getting married one day before Adam and I are. So I am going to be one of Tamannas bridesmaids and she will be one of mine on the day after her wedding. That week will be so crazy. Adam and I are both going to be coming home from Alaska on the same day. We are leaving early on Friday morning , one week and one day before we get married, and will be getting into Salt Lake City late that night. Then we will have a few days to get the rest of the small things in order for our wedding . Then my family will be getting into town for the wedding on Wednesday. And then on Thursday and Friday Shelly and Michelle and my Aunts will be getting in to town. Tamanna will be getting married in the afternoon. Adam and I will be going to Carter and Tamannas wedding and then will get our faces photographed and then we will be off to our rehearsal dinner. Adams parents have booked one of the rooms in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building for the rehearsal dinner. After the rehearsal dinner we will be going out for the night with our friends that are in town. Adam is going to go out for the night with a few friends and his brothers for a nice dinner and a quiet evening. While I will be out on the town for a crazy evening with my friends and sisters for my last night of freedom. ;) And then we will be waking up early in the morning to get ready for our big day. Adam and I are getting married in the Salt Lake Temple in the afternoon. After we get married we are having a reception at the Sky Room Restaurant.

Lastly, here are a few things that I want to do before I leave Alaska:

Go fishing

Kayaking

Hike the Chilkoot Trail

Go to Juneau

Go camping again
