Finals week is pretty much here so studying is in high gear!! But, thanks to my mom ordering an egg that was a little on the 'cool' side which got us gift certificates...Aubs and I took a delightful break and went and ate at Megleby's for free!!! So delicious. I love that place! I had the most amazing sweet shrimp tacos with a delicious pineapple salsa. Yum-o! BUT... that isn't the only thing. Magleby's is FAMOUS for it's chocolate cake. I kid you not it is the most dense, moist, heavenly, exquisite and gratifying chocolate cake in the whole world. Aubs and I noticed these boxes in the front of the restaurant with THAT cake in it. So, after our meal... it was only the right thing to do by getting that box of cake (probably weighed about 4 lbs.). We got it... and we ate it and shared with our friend Marcus. It was a fun night and a wonderful break from stupid homework.
The day before miss bean got hitched Aneka and I drove up to Salt Lake to meet some ladies at this cute little nail place. This day/ evening consisted of A LOT of laughs, shopping, rocky mountain chocolate factory, fedora's, music, mint oreos, projectile sparkling apple juice vomit (which is a story in and of itself, and yes it was done by me), McDonalds and.... a Bride's/Bride's Mother and Father's WORST nightmare. Let me explain...
After we had finished painting our nails and staying up late to create a music playlist for Trina's reception. We all settled down and were in the middle of saying our bed time prayers. However, in the middle of my prayer I hear this huge GASP!!! I could sense the fear in Trina's voice. My two thoughts were... someone died or the wedding was called off. Yes, it was THAT bad. However, it turned out to be something just about as scary. Trina had thought she left her temple recommend in Idaho!!! No recommend, no marriage. It was so scary and stressful and Trina was hysterical. I felt so, so bad! She has been under so much stress. So, she tried getting some of her friends to look for it and Aneka and I would get in a car and drive to Rexburg and back to get the recommend to her before the sealing. Then... Trina had an epiphany.... WES HAS IT!!! This frantic panic went on for a good hour. She got a hold of Wes and he luckily said that he had the recommend. Apparently, a few days ago, Trina had given him the recommend after going through the temple and forget to get it back from him. It was quite the evening! I felt so bad... she was so overwhelmed by everything already. We all ended up going to sleep at about 2:00 only to get up at about 5:30. Hectic, hectic, hectic!! But, we KNEW that this was absolutely meant to be because from there on out... everything went perfectly!
She looked absolutely stunning! Her dress? Perfect. Her hair? Perfect. Her make up? Perfect!! She looked so elegant and SO happy. Trina is such a joyful person and was absolutely glowing when she walked out of the temple. Wesley is perfect for her!! It was so great to see a long time friend walk out of the temple. WE'RE GROWING UP!
How cute are my friends, right? I love these gals. I had so much fun over the weekend! Aneka actually goes to school at BYU and I don't see her nearly as much as I want to. Laura on the other hand, SUCH a sweetheart, goes to BYU-I and drove down for the weekend. We had a great time and were just overwhelmed by seeing our sweet lil' friend Trina be married. Blissful!
GORGEOUS!! It was cold outside, but I thought it was really pretty lighting. Trine and Wes both looked incredible!
The reception was awesome! Food was great, music was great and speeches were great! It was in a cute little place called the "Canterbury". I really loved it, it was so cute. It was decorated so sweet! However, after we saw Bean at the temple.. Aneka, Laura and I were a bit on the hungry side, so we stopped at Wendy's. JUST for a JBC though... that's hardly anything! Zach and Nin made the trip down to Bountiful for the reception. We all had fun on the dance floor and enjoyed our time with our friend who is now MARRIED! So, so, so crazy to me.
It has been a LONG day. I've been up since about 5:00 and have been on the go all day. I went and played basketball with a bunch of the guys and I just wanted to come home. Curl up in a blanket, pop in 'Tangled' and snack on some popcorn. I just bought these little '100 Calorie' popcorn bags and carelessly threw it in the microwave. I was in my room and smelt BURNT popcorn. I'm talking TORCHED! The kitchen was pretty steamy and I am pretty sure the whole house smells very smoky. I learned my lesson, small bags= less time. Don't worry though... I opened a new bag and it turned out perfect :)
Congratulations to...
Trina & Wesley Parkin
