A Long Weekend!
So Orion and I planned on spending this long weekend in Fresno with his parents. We were going to leave after I got off work last night, which would be around 10:30. Leaving at that time would put us at his parents around one in the morning. WELL, turns out our car hates us a lot and decided to pull another spark plug! This time we caught it before we were on the road and it only cost 90 bucks to get fixed. So instead of spending the weekend with the in-laws and having a yummy bbq on Monday, we are staying home. I am a little bummed, but this means that Orion can do all the chores around the house I have been wanting him to do for awhile now. Like finally put together or bookcase so it is not sitting in pieces on our floor. He is currently hammering away putting it together. This makes me happy :) Also he made a breakfast face again this morning.

Life so Far
So we have been married for a month and a half. Good news we still love each other! ;) I have proof, Orion makes me breakfast on Saturday mornings.
We are very busy with life, school and lets not forget work! I am a nanny for the cutest little boys! Konner steals my heart!
I have apparently stole his older brother's heart. His name is Austin and he is six.
He asks me all the time if I will kiss him on the lips. I tell him "No, Austin I only kiss Orion on the lips because he is my husband". The other day I took the kids and dropped Orion off at work, I kissed him goodbye and got back in the car. Austin said to me as soon as I got in "Did you just kiss him on the lips"? "Yes I did". "I wish you kissed me on lips" he said with a sad look on his face. "There is only one person I kiss on the lips and that is Orion, my husband". Quick thinking Austin said "When Orion is older are you going to want to get a new husband"? He later asked me if he could be my boyfriend when he was 9 because he would be older than. I keep trying to teach him that I am married and that there is no way he can kiss me or date me. It is so cute! He asked if he could live with me because he loves me. I broke his heart and said no. He also likes to draw me pictures with him, his brother and me. When I ask where is Orion? He tells me that he is at work.
So there are the little boys of my summer but here is the man of my life!
Orion is dancing with our niece Anna at our reception. He is the best husband! For my nanny job I have to be there by 6:45am and Orion wakes up with me every morning. It is only twice a week so it is not that bad. My days there are about 13 hours long. So Orion goes to work and then watches the kids with me until 7:30 or so at night. On the nights where I work at my other job, which is at night, he comes home and cleans the apartment. He is great!

Reception Surprises
So the wedding day was great! Well everyone got there in time for our small simple sealing. Orion was suppose to pick his tux up the day before the wedding so he could leave bright and early Friday morning and have plenty of time before our sealing. Turns out they lost his order and would not get there till our wedding day. So Friday morning he followed the FEDEX truck to its first stop so he could get his tux and rush up to Oakland which is three plus hours away. Our sealing was at 2:30 but we had to be there an hour before. With tux in hand he drove super fast to get to the temple in time for his own wedding. He made it there with a couple minutes to spare and no tickets! Thank goodness for our car looking like a cop car people get out of the way on the freeway!
After the sealing and dinner with the family it was honeymoon time! Well we stayed in a Marriot in Oakland (china town to be exact I loved it!) then home on Saturday for our reception. Orion did not listen to my phone which has GPS so we got lost a couple of time. But we finally got to the hotel and had our car valet parked because there is NO parking in China town anywhere to be found. People double parked in the street everywhere it was nuts!
Saturday morning rolls around and we plan to leave around eleven giving us plenty of time to get home before my hair and make up appointment at four. We get on the freeway and drive for about an hour until we hear this loud POP! Then the car starts to sound like a go cart. Our only option was to pull off the side of the 101 with cars ZOOMING past us making the car shake. At this point I am FREAKING OUT inside but I did not show it because it would have made things worse. To make a long story short we finally get the car to mechanic who says it will cost 300 BUCKS and won't be fixed until SUNDAY! I looked over at Orion and said "Happy Wedding to us". He could not help but laugh. After some phone calls Orion's dad was on his way to pick us up.... from FRESNO which is two hours away from us. We were in San Jose by the way in a semi ghetto place. By the time his dad got there is was past four when I should have been getting my hair did and my make up done nice. Oh yeah my phone died so I could not call and tell them I was not going to be able to make it and Orion's phone had one bar of battery. With over two hours of driving in front of us and our reception starting at seven we hit the road once again. We were stuck in San Jose for a total of four plus hours.
As we drive down the freeway I remember I have on no make up and no mirror. Orion who is in the front passenger seat puts his visor down so I could have a mirror to use. Front the back seat I moved my head around so I could see what I was doing while speeding down a bumpy freeway. My next problem was my hair. I had no comb, brush, gel, curling iron, or any hair accessory to speak of. To make it even better I had taken a shower that morning and just let my hair dry naturally which meant it was a little bit of a mess. Lucky for me my bride's maid brought me a head band to help make my hair look better. We pulled up to the church FIVE MINUTES BEFORE our reception started. It was only enough time to lace me up in my dress and put the head band on before everyone started showing up. What a day that was! The best part was no one knew that I did not mean to look the way I did. By a miracle from the big guy my hair looked cute and it was dark enough that no one could tell that my make up was a little uneven.
With all that happened that day I could not help but smile because I went through it all with my best friend and love of my life. We just held hands and faced everything that happened together. It was the best day first day of being married. Oh yeah when the car was fixed it only cost 178 bucks and not 300 so we were very grateful for that.

Twisted
SO Saturday was just not my day... Well according to Orion it was totally my day. First I had to deal with this horrible event where I left feeling so bad. To make me feel better Orion decided to take me to my favorite place to eat. As we were walking to the restaurant I rolled my ankle really bad. Orion started to laugh at me while I sat down trying not to cry from the pain.
Lucky for me Orion's boy scout skills kicked in and he wrapped my ankle up. I laid on my bed with my leg elevated and ice on it. It was rather boring. Lucky for me my dear friend Kaitlyn came up and we made cookies. It was the first time I used my oven in Orion and I's apartment. They were super yummy! Now my ankle (well my lack thereof) is more purple but it hurts less. Lets hope it will be back to normal for the wedding and reception next week. I want to dance a lot but I am going to be sad if I have to sit out my own dance.

Two Weeks!
That is right. Two weeks from today Orion and I will be married! Oh my goodness it is really happening. I just about freaked out last night when I realized it. The good news is we have basically everything in place... Minus the wedding license which is probably the most important thing for us to have (at least one of the most important).
Normally I would be really worried that I don't have everything I need for such an important day, but in reality I already have what I need. I have the love of a man that I want to spend forever with. Also we are truly blessed with friends and family that love us so much! We are so grateful for all that they have done to help plan this wedding. It has been a little difficult to plan a wedding on a really small budget considering Orion and I are paying for everything ourselves. Lucky for us we are surrounded by people who love us and chipped in to pay for a honeymoon. If they did not do this Orion and I would have just gone to work on Monday. We are so grateful for all the help we have gotten and the support from all our loved ones.
