A Spring Break Well Spent

So this past week Sean and I got together and we were looking at ways to cut back on some of our bills (we have a goal to accumulate 8 months worth of income and put it in savings, yea, not an easy task). So as we were looking at ways to cut back we decided that we would go to a low minutes phone plan which means no more long conversations on the phone with friends and family (not that it happens so often, but it was nice to have it as an option). So I realized that in order to really keep in touch with Friends and family it would have to be through the Internet. So, yet again, I am resolved to blog more (yea, yea, I know I've said it before, what ever). So I'm going to try to do a post once a week letting you know what's been going on with me for the past week.
So for me this past week was spring break and I decided to take full advantage of it. It's been hard to balance school along with everything else. So this week I practiced being completely unbalanced and didn't study one bit this last week. On Monday I decided it was time to post my room for sale and my phone has been going crazy since. It's nice to have a room that's so cheep, everyone is interested in it. But it is a mess. Ever since I moved most of my stuff over to Sean's (I felt a whole lot safer with it over there, plus I'm over there all the time) it's looked like complete chaos in my room. So I decided it was time to move the rest of my things over to his place, and so i did.
Also later that night I got together with Nancy and we went to see The Marriage of Figaro, and I dragged Sean along. I was so excited to see it, I've been wanting to see it for the past 10 years and haven't gotten a chance to. It was so great and so fun to go see, even Sean liked it and most guys can't stand the opera.
Tuesday I spent at work, meh. Then Wednesday through Friday I spent up at my Dad's place helping Britta to finish the table runners for the wedding reception, and got a great many wedding to do's taken care of. Who knew that cutting school out of your life could make you so productive.
Then on Friday evening Crystal drove down to SLC and she took our engagement pictures. I honestly didn't know that having your pictures taken could be so much fun, and I can't wait to see them. I don't usually feel very comfortable having a camera pointed at me, but I had so much fun. Crystal, you're the best!
And at last on Saturday my Dad came down to SLC and took Sean and I to Ikea to get our bed frame and headboard. I told my dad when Sean and I first got engaged that if he paid for our bedroom set, that I would pay for the wedding and reception. He seemed to think I was being generous, but in reality I just didn't want to hear any complaints about how much everything costs. Unfortunately he'll be in for a big surprise when one of my other sisters gets married. After Ikea, Bed Bath & Beyond, and lunch at Pei Wei (Pronounced Pay Way, as if that lack of knowledge hasn't embarrassed me before) Sean and I put together the bed. It was fun working on a project together, even though we realized there was something else we were supposed to get (how was I supposed to know that the center beam for under the bed is sold separately), we had fun. I am kind of jealous now though because now he has this queen size bed, with memory foam on top and a down comforter, pshaw!
Later that night Sean took me with him to his bosses house and we had dinner with his co-workers. There is a lot that you can learn about your fiance from his co-workers. Turns out he's just as bad at spontaneously making small remarks into songs as Carolanne, he doesn't do it around me. He also has a song that he sings when he's about to go around collecting some documents from everyone. I guess putting together these documents is an annoying thing to do so he sings a song to make everyone think it's really better than it is. I'm not sure it works. In all it's been a great week. I wish I could remember to take pictures of things so I could post them, oh well.
