This weekend probably combined ALL the genres in to one. Let's go back a little bit to Friday the 31st.
I will try to make such a long story short, but its just too funny!

August 31, 2012
We got to go to a good friend Brian and Brooke's wedding reception. We have been so excited to see some of our friends get married and they are no exception. They looked great and their reception was beautiful. We didn't get to stay long because we were FINALLY moving in to our new place! We hurried to pick up my dads truck then to Draper to pick up some furniture we were being given to borrow from Grandpa Gary. I never thought I would get that excited about furniture but, I was just giddy while loading it up and my mind raced on how we would arrange it. We hurried back to Provo unloaded it all (keep in mind Josh and are are doing all of this practically on our own) jumped back in the truck drove back to highland to get the matress located at Josh's home. It was a lot larger than we thought so we were cramming and smooshing and trying to get it to work. We finally got it to work tied down by some bungee cords. We started on our way back to provo but, the matress wasn't completely stable, so I reach out the back window and held them down...THE WHOLE DRIVE BACK. It was so funny and I just wanted to be on the outside seeing how FUNNY that might have looked. We then unloaded the matress, (p.s. the bungee chord was SHREDDED, probably would have given out in a couple more miles) jumped back in the car drove to traverse mountain to bring the truck back and FINALLY got to go home at about 1 am.
If I haven't lost you by now....trust me there is more:)
Sept. 1
For some reason the universe was out to get us on September 1st.
We woke up started our day of more packing and moving. Josh had basketball while I packed and ran errands.....and then it went downhill from there. I was doing our THOUSANDS of loads of laundry(living out of boxes is SO hard!) and then Josh had been bugging me about getting checks so I start to head down to the bank just like normal take a brief left and I look behind me and I see siren lights. I panic, I have never experience being pulled over before and almost didn't know what to do. I pull over and remember CRAP! my registration was due in August! The officer comes to the window and tells me he was pulling me over for speeding. I HAD NO CLUE I was speeding, I NEVER speed, in fact I have been known by friends and family for being a grandma driver. My emotions start to flood as he explains and gets my license from me. I had a personal goal to NEVER EVER get a ticket but, he comes back with my ticket and I just can't keep the emotions in. He then says to me "M'am there is no reason to cry, this isn't a situation to cry about." I then apologize and explain the only reason I was crying so hard was it was my first. So now I am a member of the ticket club and I get to go to traffic school. I finally get to the bank and only the bank tellers are open, not the lobby so then I feel like the ticket was WORTHLESS. We then pack up with the help of Meagan and Debbie (THEY ARE AMAZING!) we get a lot of things moved and the day was looking up!
We then got to go to the Piano Guys concert! WE LOVE THEM! If you haven't heard them or watched them on youtube....GO DO IT NOW (in fact I will post our favorite here later) We get there at 6 to get a good spot and the sky was beautiful and clear when all of a sudden we got a COLD gust of wind. It rained and rained and rained and rained, we had a zebra blanket to cover us but that soon got wet and really cold. Luckily we had some jolley ranchers with us, those make any situation better! The concert finally started at 8 after 2 hours of FREEZING. When they started the weather eased up and we were amazed at the music and felt like it was worth it to sit through the rain! We really enjoyed every second of the concert and even got to see the first live performance of "makes you beautiful" everything was looking up....until it started to pour on the second to last song. We decided to get up and walk so at least by the time we left the gates we would have heard all of the songs. (if we are sounding miserable and you can't take it anymore you might want to stop now:)
We get to the car and find out Josh's car key fell off somewhere in the grass at thanksgiving point, after some help from strangers, back tracking and grass digging we give up and call my dad and step mom to pick us up (fortunately they lived a couple minutes down the road) They took us grocery shopping and back to PG to get my car. We drove back to Lehi with the spare key then back to Provo. WOW its kinda stressful just to reminisce.
We really enjoyed our first sunday at our new ward and got to play duels with my family so I can't complain about anything there. We even got to hang out with Kimball and Leslie. We love them so much and wish they lived up here, so we would have friends but, we LOVE when they visit and we like it even better when we get to visit them is St. George!
Luckily we got a day off of the craziness but, it just NEVER stops!
Within the last 3 days also
-I failed my safety and emissions due to too much tinting on the back window, and a back left tire :(
-My phone screen blacked out for some reason, so I can't really communicate with anyone or turn off alarms that KEEP GOING OFF!
-Today I had my first little bumper smash in the school parking lot...nothing big someone just backed into me but since again it was my "first" I was just a little bit flustered.
I may just hide under my covers next labor day but all in all these things just turn out funny because:
-I am grateful I even have a car
-I love our new apartment and the ward
-I got to see my dad and lisa
-We have such amazing family that helps us with anything we need
-We get to go to school and have that paid for
-I am married to the greatest man and we have SO MUCH FUN!
-Josh eases any stress I have and being married to him makes these silly things hillarious
-I am grateful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints and have the knowledge that I do.
-I am grateful for such AMAZING MUSIC!!!(see below) we love EVERY SINGLE ONE of Piano Guys songs.
