I'm sitting here with Jasmine at my side trying to think of something to post when I look at the calendar.
19 days until we are on our way to Utah! That's less than three weeks, and I start to think of all the things we need to do!
Tomorrow, I need to pay our last month's storage rent, and since I'll be there anyway, I should probably dig out our luggage for the trips.
I should probably stop by Borders on Thursday and pick up a few more boxes for all the little stuff around our room. Also, I need a place to put the stuff that is currently in the luggage. By the way, if you ever move, Borders has the best boxes for moving. They are big enough to pack just about anything, but small enough that it's kind of impossible to make them too heavy. Plus, they are all the same size and stack nicely. Steve also has an eye appointment on Thursday, and is getting new glasses since we are going to lose our insurance.
Friday is my birthday! Another post after the party with pics to come later! I also meet with my dermatologist that day, where I can hopefully convince her to give me three more weeks worth of medicine because my psoriasis is still there. It is going away with the meds, but it's still there. It's slow.
Of course, we've got to get everything we have out packed up again and ready to move. I have to call all the different branches of my store in Utah on Monday to see if they have a position for me to transfer into. Please pray that they do. Pray that God has a plan and that everything will work out.
I've got to get a Uhaul reserved to drive down on the first of October. Apply for jobs if I can't transfer.
I hate moving. I really do, but South Dakota was a huge mistake. We both agree. I love every single one of the friends I've made here, and I'm going to miss all of them so much, they kept me sane. They have made me better. They have just helped me so so much, and I'm so lucky to have met them. I hope we don't lose contact! I'm also glad I was able to get to know Steve's family. It has helped me learn a lot about him, but it's also been nice getting to know them.
I have been slightly reconsidering Ohio because I miss my family, but I did rule it out already. I ruled it out for good reasons, and I really do think Utah will be a good place to actually settle down.
I'm kind of stressed. Kind of worried. Not looking forward to driving down there twice. I'm not very patient. I hate having to wait to do all these things one thing at a time. I would rather just get it all over and done with at once.
Please pray that everything goes smoothly for us, and that we are able to trust in God and His plan for us. Thanks!

Central States Fair
Just gotta say... Montana is better at the whole fair thing. The rides, of course, were the exact same because it's the same carnival. The booths though... man they sucked.
In Montana, there are so many awesome booths with handcrafted items, and even just things you can't really find anywhere else. I love looking at that stuff. Yeah, SD doesn't know how to do that. They had all the food of course, but none of the cool knick knacks, picture frames, blankets, etc. There were just local advertising booths. LAME!
Anyway, it was the first night of the fair. We went at 4:30 and no one was there because it was 100 degrees outside. So there were no lines until about 8 and even then they were pretty short.
We went on a bunch of rides, but after we went on the Tilt-A-Whirl the second time, I was feeling pretty sick so I was done after that. I had to sit on a bench for a good fifteen minutes before I felt better. We were thinking about leaving, but then NB text me and so we decided to stay and walk around with them. Steve went on a couple rides with some of his co-workers while I waited to meet NB and her husband JB.
JB seemed pretty excited and talking about all the rides so NB asked me if she should buy him some tickets to go on a few rides, and I said yes. We both thought it was a good idea because he really did seem excited!
So Steve, JB and NB went on the Gravitron (I was done with rides, remember?) and then JB and Steve went on a couple other rides and JB started feeling sick too.
I asked NB what a funnel cake was because I'd never had one, and so she bought one for us to share.
Very yummy!
After that, they decided to leave because JB really wasn't feeling well. So we left too, because we were pretty much done.
Between some of the rides though, Steve asked me which prize I wanted from the game booths and there were some really cute wild cats that I wanted. It was really the only one I liked, and it just so happened to be a medium size so we didn't have to spend a lot to get him. Yay!

To Virginia!
I just bought our plane tickets to go to Virginia! Wahoo! It was $50 more than when I first looked two weeks ago, but oh well. That's what happens with the stupid airlines.
I'm so freaking excited to see my family! Steve is just as excited, if not more so! He loves my family! I can't wait!!! I haven't seen them since my wedding two years ago! It's the longest I've ever gone without seeing them and I miss them!
The best part is that my grandparent's, my Aunt DI, cousin KI, Aunt DW and cousin JW (who is about to turn 1, and who I haven't met) will all be there! I'll get to see my other grandma, and another aunt on step-mom's side too because they live nearby.
Yay family!
Daddy promised me ribs. I'll be holding him to it. He makes the best ribs. :) Steve should pay close attention.

Steve's First Concert
Yes, that's right. His first concert. 22 years old and his first concert.
Haha, okay I just had to get that out of my system. :) I like picking on him if you can't tell.
Yesterday, we weren't really doing anything. We planned on going to the Sturgis Motorcycle rally in the early evening, but until then we were just being lazy around the house since everyone was gone and we didn't have to leave to avoid them. My friend SJ text me and asked if I wanted to go to the Daughtry concert with her because she got free tickets. She had been trying to convince me to go all week, but for Steve and I to both go it would have been $100 and we're trying to save money to move. I did want to go, but just couldn't. Since we could go for free though, we said YES! And so she picked us up shortly after and off we went with her and her brother-in-law.
It took us almost two hours to get there when Sturgis is less than an hour away. Traffic was so backed up because there were 600,000 people in this normally 6,000 population town. I'm not exaggerating. Google it. There was hardly anyone there when we got to the stage.
We were all pretty disappointed. SJ especially. Three Doors Down was coming on next, but we were all so disheartened by then that we decided to leave. Plus, they took FOREVER to get set up. We were all tired of standing still for so long, and of course there was no room to sit with all the people around. So Steve and I went to the back to sit on a bench while SJ waited for them to come on stage. She just wanted a few pics before we left. It took them 40 minutes to get on stage after Daughtry. Really lame that they took so long.
There was a lot of drinking involved too. So there were a few guys that were very annoying and spilling beer on people. Others were sick of him too, so when he left to get another beer, people wouldn't let him back in when he tried because he was seriously that annoying. It was kind of awesome.
Anyway, Hinder was so amazing and that made it all worth it. And it was still a ton of fun!

Wisdom Teeth: Piece of Cake
You all know that I was worried about my wisdom teeth coming out. I didn't know if I would be allergic to anesthesia. I didn't want to end up with an infection or other complications. All the horror stories out there!
I've got to say... the whole thing was a piece of cake. There were a few times when it was getting close to my next pill that it would really freakin' hurt, but I would put ice on it for twenty minutes until the vicoden kicked in and I was fine again. I hate vicoden though because I was so tired ALL THE TIME. Not everyone has the same side effects, but I do not understand how the character of Dr. House is supposed to function. I would pass out after that many! I mean, I already had a hard time staying awake with just one at a time!
There was no swelling at all. I healed perfectly fine. Pushing water in the holes with a syringe felt super weird the first few times, but it kept them clean. There are still creases where my teeth were, but they are all sealed up and I don't have to push the water in there anymore. The whole thing went really well. Worried for nothing.
Stupid people and their horror stories.
