Whats New?

Today I am trying to do a little catching up on the blog...good stuff
Ok so whats new with Ben and I and what have we been up to since we got married?
Well Ben was working for a terrible company for about a month before our wedding... while on our honeymoon they actually called him into work and then when we got home they came looking for him and were going to call the police all because of a tiny misunderstanding... their main form of communication is through text... need I say more...
As I said he was working for them and when we got home and all this happened he is no longer! Yay! Well for about a week Ben applied for many jobs. Then one day three places called him back! He was offered two of the jobs... the one was an automated call thing and it was lame. Ben turned one of the jobs down. The owner of the job that Ben turned down called Ben back and offered him some amazing benefits if he would just come and try them out for a week before he decided what job to take... Including getting paid while "trying it out" Who gets that kind of an oppurtunity??? AMAZING! So things are going well.
Ben has some amazing ideas too... He really wants to get into real estate but has a unique approach. He has some great business ideas. Neither one of want to work for THE MAN for the rest of our lives. Ben is so smart I'm always excited to see what he's going to come up with next!
As for me I'm still working at Discover Card which gets a tad tiring somedays and irriating. I work in 90 day collections so I call (stalk) people who have not paid their bill for three months... I get yelled at a lot its not depressing at all. Its a good job though. I have some issues with it but hey... its a paycheck for now right?
Back in June I was offered a job that I have been wanting forever... jetBlue Airways! My mom works there and I've been wanting to work there! I actually applied in December 08 and they were on a hiring freeze but then they called me and I was hired! I get to work from home, Ben and I fly for free we get discounts on hotels, cruises, rental cars... its going to be FABULOUS!!!
The only thing is now I have to figure out how to do Discover and jetBlue... Discover are kinda being not so nice ... they say they are but ... eh...
Anywhoo... thats where we are at right now so we will see what happens! We have so many oppurtunities and we feel so blessed! We are so excited for the many adventures to come!

The Wedding

So... here's a semi sweet and short version of one of the best days of our lives!

I am so glad we chose not get sealed until later in the morning because I had to be at the hair place at seven and if it had not been earlier... HOLY CHICKEN... no way no way no way. But my stylist was amazing my hair was GORGEOUS! I don't know how she did it and it did not move all day!
Amazingly I actually got done a little early and we were able to sort of relax for about oh 30 minutes. Then it was off to the temple we had to be there like two hours early... eye yi yi! It was so busy I honestly don't remember how many weddings they said were going on that morning but it was in the hundreds! While I was in the bridesroom getting ready with my mom one of my friends came in from Jr. High and she had just been married! It was so fun to see her and so random! The ceromony was absolutely beautiful... thats all there is to say about that. Afterwords we came out and took pictures for about oh two - three hours!!! I got burned on my neck and we were so beat! The pictures turned out amazing though! Our photographer was FANTASTIC! I'm going to try and put a slide show or something up soon! If you need a good photographer please let me know she's the best! When we finally got to the luncheon Ben and I had pretty much had it... LOL we were ready to go to sleep! For real! But we had some delicious food which helped get us ready for the rest of the day! After some more amazing and fun pictures we had a ring ceremony in the backyard area of the reception hall. It was so fun and beautiful! Ben's Uncle Allen conducted and gave us some advice as well as telling everyone how we met. Then Mitch and Morgan (Maid of Honor and Best Man) gave a little speach... It was Awesome! Morgan talked about how I was good at showing my emotions and Ben was good at helping me control them... LOL LOL LOL she also said some other sweet things and Mitch gave a short but sweet and very Mitch like congrats to us.
After words we headed back inside with what was supposed to be a fun and dance filled evening... needless to say our DJ was terrible and I'd rather not talk about it at the time thats for another post another day. Ben and I did do a way fun wedding dance though! We did the cake cutting and I thought Ben and I had agreed to do it nicely but apparently not... It got down my dress but no worries I got him too! We had very sugary faces the rest of the night!
About an hour into the reception Ben and I were tired again....
we actually decided to leave about twenty minutes early. It was amazing though as we walked out the doors everyone had lit sparkers and were holding them in the air to make a little archway type thing for us! SO COOL! Anywhoo... we stayed at the Anniversary in for two nights before our honeymoon in two different rooms! It was amazing and so fun the honeymoon was fantastic as well!
