When it Rains, it Pours...

So I am finally back in beautiful California…well sort of beautiful it has been pouring like NO OTHER! The perfect way for southern CA to welcome me back after leaving Utah. Yesterday I went to the streets of LA with my future mom-in-law and sis-in-law and my mom to figure out wedding stuff. I had never been there! It was crazy! It’s totally what you see in the movies, people negotiating with you and trying to convince you to buy their stuff and then walking out to enter another store where they are going to do the exact same thing! I have never seen so many of the same things in my entire life! It definitely was an experience, but it was fun. Amongst all the bickering and misunderstandings that happened that day when four women get together we were all able to relax at the end of the day and laugh about the crazy things that occurred that day. The wedding experience has been very much of a nightmare up until this point. Like many say, “when it rains, it pours.” This is the perfect expression for how the wedding planning has been but after yesterday I was able to see that everything is going to be okay. I definitely think my sister was right when she would tell that trying to plan a wedding out of state is tough and that things will get better once I came back home, and after yesterday I realized that she was right. THANKS LIZ! The best thing about an intense storm is the aftermath, like here you see the green grass and the beautiful flowers, for the most part that is what I have noticed in my life is when times are hard the experiences that you gain from them are the most memorable and helpful. I love trials and would not want to have it any other way, without them how can I ever expect to learn anything? This experience so far with planning a wedding I have learned that it is important to speak up for the things that I would like and to share what I am feeling with others, and if I choose not too then I just need to keep my mouth shut, thoughts to myself and NOT COMPLAIN! I have such a loving fiancé who is willing to hear me rant and rave about everything and anything, unfortunately he carries a lot of it on his shoulders too once he hears it all… so I am now learning that I can’t do that to him either…he’s just so great. I know that I have a loving family who I can turn to at any point. My sister is awesome and so logical that it’s sickening sometimes…haha…her logic is always so right on the ball that I feel so dumb that I didn’t notice it! I seriously thank my sister for pointing out my moments of insanity because without her things would be ten times harder.
