The Accident

So I am finally getting around to writing about my wedding, the reception and other craziness haha (it may take a few posts)

Have you ever had a plan in your head of how things are going to go and when you are going to do what? and has that plan ever been slightly ruined or pushed back maybe only a few hours but none the less you are kind of freaking out inside? Yep that was exactly how I felt the Tuesday before my wedding...

Dallin and I were planning on leaving Tuesday evening, so we packed up our car that morning so we wouldn't have to do it later. My mom and I were going over to our wedding planner's house to pick up my bouquet and a few other things. Thankfully Dallin decided to stay home ( you will see why in a minute). We were driving down the road when some guy pulled out of a church parking lot and broad sided us. We spun and ended up going over about 3 lanes of traffic. I am not gonna lie, I did freak out a bit, but who wouldn't when all they could see is blood dripping down their face and knowing that their wedding was only a few days away.  Well thankfully Dallin wasn't with us or I think he would have been hurt pretty bad. Luckily my mom and I were ok just a few little cuts! Here are a few pictures:

both of those windows blew out

this is where Dallin would have been sitting

This accident made us leave for Logan about 3 to 4 hours later than planned. We are lucky to have such a great family that helped us move in all our stuff til 3:30 in the morning and waking up to finish at 7:30. Luckily this was the only thing that went wrong the rest of the week ( besides me being a little late to both my bridals and the Temple...oops!)

My Nerdiness...

So my husband (yes that is a little weird to say still) teases me that I am a nerd. I realized today that in some ways I really am but I am not ashamed of my nerdiness! Actually I kind of miss my "nerdy" friends aka my awesome engineering and math friends. 

Yesterday during my hour break before institute I was struggling with my last problem in math that was due in the afternoon. After thinking about it ALL day and basically dreaming about it all night the night before, I took another look at it and what would you know? I figured it out! Seriously it's one of my favorite feelings in the world, figuring out a math problem. After math class I went to talk to my Math professor to ask a few questions about the upcoming assignment. Somehow, we got on the subject of what he does for research. It never seizes to amaze me what you can do with a little bit of math, or statistics. To spare you all the  details(probably boring), I will just tell you in short what I thought was very cool that he did slash does. He helped set up The National Library of Virtual Manipulatives (NLVM) for Interactive Mathematics, which has been translated into 5 different languages and gets almost 7 million hits a day!! Amazing right?!  well I thought so :) Talking to my professor about all of this made me miss engineering. Not that I am going to change back to that, I don't miss it that much! I just miss the feeling of working so hard to code a program or put together a circuit board and watching it work right before my eyes. That right there is one of the very best feelings in the world. And that is why I miss engineering. 

I know I am a nerd... I LOVE math and I like engineering and I will even go as far as I sometimes like Computer Science. This is my nerdiness coming out! 

A Small Thought Before All The Details

So here is a quick post before I go into all the details about the wedding, reception and the honeymoon!

First off married life is pretty great! Even though it seems like we will never see each other this semester...  our schedules are complete opposite! I have class or work every morning around 7:30 or 8 and get done around 6, which happens to be the time that Dallin is scheduled to work...bleh!

But other than that I think this semester is going to fly by! It was a terrible shocker to come from the warm weather in Hawaii to the freezing cold (suppose to snow all week) weather of Logan. 

Also being on vacation for so long to working a full 10 hour day! boo!! but all is well :)

We have wonderful parents who have helped us a ton! The wedding was fabulous/spiritual/amazing and the reception was wonderful, thank you to my wonderful mom :) Don't know what I would do without her!

We are so blessed to have such a great family and wonderful friends!    

notice all the great faces :) our family is awesome

 First day of school tomorrow (for me) and hopefully I can finish getting our house put together soon! Soon you will get all the stories...from the car accident to the surprise honeymoon to Hawaii to getting our house all settled in :) Hope everyone has a great week!
