soooo we are alive...

life has been hectic. We are busy.. and yet.. not SO busy that i dont have time to update my blog. Honestly, i feel like i stare at a computer all day..and the last thing i want to do when i get home is get back on one to blog. BLAH!! But! i have officially decided to take a break from my blogging hiatus..

With that, you get an update via iphone pics.. Just what you wanted i know.

The house.. is finally coming together. We still have plenty of decorations to hang, but no wall space to hang them. So, for now we just call it good. PLUS, our lease is up in November, and we are reallyyyy hoping to buy a house! cross your fingers :)

Probably one of our favorite wedding gifts (is that bad to say? voting was purely based off of number of times used ahahah!) is our popcorn maker! OH MY. Now that is just heaven in a bowl. My favorite pre bedtime snack ever.

promise we dont put thattttt much butter on our popcorn. haha! that looks so disgusting!

Ammon's favorite gift "was" the donut maker. Hahahaha! He was sooo excited to bust it open and give it a try. I couldnt help but laugh as i watched him giddily march around the kitchen making homemade donuts! ...sadly he deciced the ones in the stores are WAY better.

Last week i signed up for Tuacahn texting deals. Random..SMARTEST THING EVER. i got a text on Monday saying we could get any tickets for $15! We ended up sitting 4th row right in the center!!! it was awesome. Aladdin was amazing and we felt like royalty sitting that close.

Last weekend we decided we wanted to head home. We hadnt been home since the wedding, and we missed our families! We landed tickets to the BYU v Utah game through my family's Ute season tickets. Let's just say the game is a sensitive subject around here... on both ends. hahaha! But we both had fun and were so grateful we were able to go. It was such a good weekend home with our families!

one day i will learn to keep my eyes open

We LOVE NP Films

There was one thing i wanted to be sure and have at my wedding.. a great videographer. I know these date videos have become pretty popular, but i seriously wanted to do one so bad. Luckily for us.. we made the fantastic choice to go with Nathan Pickett at NP films. He is such a good guy and made it so easy for us to be ourselves around him. We had SOOO much fun filming this video and i still get soo giddy every time i watch it. Nate captured everything i wanted and more! I cannot wait until we are old and wrinkly and get to show this to our kids and grankids!

The Debate

I have been having the debate that all newly married girls with blogs have: to change the URL, or not change the URL? Well, as you see... I went with the later. Life has changed and my blog has always been meant to document MY life. And so now, may you be introduced to the newest permanent member of MY Life.. Mr Ammon, my dear husby. This will be OUR blog. And yet, you know not much is going to change because, we all know that the husby probably won't write any posts. Actually, I have been begging him for months to write on my blog..and have you seen a post yet? ...exactly. So, instead he pops up in pictures and in the sappy love stories. He is great. Life is great. And hopefully, my blog still stays great.

Stay awhile. look around. There obviously is still work to be done on this new layout. BUT those improvements will come another day. For now.. you can all {watch} instead of {read} a little bit about how our story evolved. I know, i know, i have been promising this story for the last.. year or so.. and finally! it is here to stay. (We can blame Ammon partially for this post's absence, because this was the one HE was promising to write. BUT i guess we'll forgive him and let him off the hook). A HUGE thanks to Mr Nathan Pickett for doing such a wonderful job with all of our wedding videos. We LOVE them!

*also please ignore the number of times i say 'like' and 'heck'... we all know i was on the verge of crying and my mind was doing all it could to hold it together.. thus the complete SLAUGHTER of sounding normal! All you bloggers who don't know me probably think i talk like this all the time! ughhhh!*

Back to real life

Well i am alive and well! you guys havent heard from me in a few weeks.. and well.. i don't feel too bad about it! Life has been absolutely crazy and absolutely amazing. Ammon and I are constantly shocked by the generosity of the people around us, and the incredible blessings our Heavenly Father has given us.

We have picked up and moved to St. George.. Ammon started his job on monday, and i had planned on staying at ULTA until i found something a little more stable and applicable to my degree. And let me just tell you.. the opportunity has come 1000 times quicker than i ever dreamed possible. Monday night i received a job offer from an amazing company called Ydraw. It's an awesome marketing company and I couldn't be more excited. It is a highly innovative video scribing company. I am working very closely with their owner, and have various different responsibilities. Basically.. this job is beyond awesome and beyond what i ever thought i would do.

This is a quick example of the work that ydraw is capable of producing. This video went viral on FB in Utah a few weeks ago, and i would have never guessed that i would end up working for this company!



Beyond that, i need to post some wedding pictures! andddd honeymoon... and bridal shower pics.. and moving pics... andndd well, you see the pattern. hopefully we will have reliable internet in the next few days so i can start posting more often!

going through the temple

Well we are counting down from 3 now! sooo crazyyy. I had the opportunity to go through the temple this past friday. I was nervous and excited all wrapped up into one. Once i was in the temple, everything seemed to fade away. Seeing my sweet Ammon in the house of the lord... wow. Life changing experience. It was a spiritual day that led me to fall in love with my dear fiance more than i could ever imagine. The sweetest spirit was present and i felt a feeling i have never quite experienced in that amount of strength.

To all those who have yet to go through the temp.. be excited. Do not worry. Remember it is the house of the Lord, and the spirit that is there is the best feeling in the world. I am 183489375498879r times more excited to marry Am on THURSDAY! holy smokes. can hardly wait. And i am also veryyy excited to see you all that night! Best day eveerrrr.

ATTENTION MUSIC LOVERS

I NEED YOUR HELP. i have been brainstorming and searching all dayyy for a song i can dance to with my dad. I don't want anything too sappy and sentimental, but i do want it to be special. All the songs i 'have' with my dad, are a little too fast paced and too hard to dance to. Soooo any recommendations would be very much appreciated. I have a special place in my heart for country music because of my dad.. so country is A-OK. But anything will do. PLEASE HELPPPPPP :)

one week emotions

Technically, there is six days until the wedding. But since i havent gone to bed yet, we don't count that. we'll pretend like it's still 7. So many emotions have hit me in the past few days, and i feel like i need to blog them so i remember how it felt to know that i am getting married in a week. so here goes nothing.

Overwhelmed. I go through the temple tomorrow. I'll admit.. i cried a little when i realized that starting tomorrow there will be no more soccer shorts in my wardrobe. [i fully realize the blessings greatly outweigh the sacrifice].

Inadequate. Next thursday is the day that i have literally spent my whole life planning and preparing for. Being sealed for time and all eternity to my best friend, and receiving so many amazing blessings..suddenly i feel a little inadequate and unprepared. Plus, i think of my cute fiance and wonder how in the world i ever snagged him up. he is my everything.

Excited. HOLY CRAP....>>>I am going to be MRS AMMON ZITTING. Whaaaa?

Humbled. So many people have been so gracious with their time, money, and talents, just so my day will be perfect. I am sooo grateful. I wish i could be more like all of you.

Thankful. For my sweet Mother. She is out of town this week...[no cell service] and i feel sort of lost wrapping up last minute details with out her. She has kept me calm, collected, and happy, through this whole process.

Weird. I've been a little sad lately.. I realized that one of my best friends [you know the kind..the kind you can't imagine your wedding with out?] will not be attending because of a failed friendship. I always imagined my friend being there as a bridesmaid, and yet, here i stand heartbroken in a way, and a even a little bit bitter. Someday, hopefully soon, i will be ready for the forgiveness process. It's just a reallyyy weird feeling.. quite indescribable actually. Then throw in the fact that an ex texted me this week.. and man! weirdness alll around!

Relieved. That sweet Tiff Hafen came into my life. She calmed my worries when she agreed to shoot some bridal pics for me. I was notttt happy with my first batch of bridals, and well... she was a lifesaver.

Anxious. Anxious to get this thing done and over with. The 'to-do' list is annoyingly long, and quite frankly, i just do not care anymore!

Happy. Ammon and i took the night for ourselves. No wedding planning. No wedding 'talk'. No running errands. Instead we got snow cones at the best snow shack around.. "Cup o' Sno" and rented This Means War. We cuddled. We talked about life. We ignored everything around us. And for a few hours... i had a glimpse at what life is going to feel like. It is so easy to get wrapped up in wedding plans. I was honestly beginning to worry that Am and I wouldnt be able to hold a conversation after the wedding, because literally our whole life for the past 4 months has revolved around planning everything. I was trying to think of a recent conversation that didnt involve the wedding, and came up empty handed. SAD. haha. Tonight completely reassured me. Life is going to be utter bliss starting a week from today. Sure, there will be hard times. But i just can't wait to have that amazing man permanently by my side.

single digits

after watching the daily countdown start from 119 days.. it feels pretty dang good to wake up to this number:

But for real. I never thought the day would come that i got to see single digits. HOLY MOLY. i am so excited. I woke up this morning with more love for my sweet fiance than ever before. (but lets be honest... that happens every morning).

I also hope all of you got your invites. We found out last weekend that somehow 70 people on our labels list got skipped. Soooo hopefully that was none of you! if so, pleaseeee email me or comment or something. You had better believe that we want you all there!!

Also, this picture makes me giddy.

How i loveee America!

This year was the first year i have been in America for the 4th! The previous two have been spent in Africa or Italy. And while yes, i am beyond grateful for those amazing our-of-country experiences, there was nothing sweeter than coming home to the good ol U-S of A. We really do live in such a blessed land, and until you have traveled abroad it is easy to overlook the huge blessing. Even though our government may not be the most keen or we might disagree with some laws or regulations, Please just be grateful for the freedoms we do have.

In Kenya, i saw governmental rule and destruction. I saw people oppressed simply because of the pride and selfishness of people in power. In italy, (a little more forgiving) I saw just how real the Mafia is. I saw the power that families and clans had over cities, and the country-for no real reason at all, besides the power of $$$). It is amazingggg. I never thought that in a country that seemed so civilized and 'up to date', things could be so corrupt.

So while yes, we do have things to complain about.. please just remember how blessed we really are to be living in the most amazing country on earth! Am and i celebrated by watching RSL battle Seattle. It was my first RSL game this year, and boy was it fun! I loveeee my country!

The Future Fam..

Leading up to the First Date

Ammon and I had met playing on the same intramural flag football team. I thought he was attractive but heard through the grapevine that he was taken and "pretty much engaged". Well so what. I still had my little secret crush that no one knew about. A little while later, I again heard through the grapevine that Ammon was now single and pretty upset about his recent breakup. Obviously, I didn't want to get in the middle of that whole deal, so continued to keep my small crush a secret. (It was a creeper crush i'll admit). We had only talked a handful of times, and most [no, alllll] of the conversations were about flag football. I had no intentions of anything ever happening between the two of us, and it was something i was ok with.

Fast forward a few weeks. I was on FB [ohhh how i hate fb being involved in this story], and Ammon began chatting with ME! what theee random. We joked about how we needed to hang out, and i gave him my number and told him to text me. The next few days i waited and waited and waited for a text that never came. WTH. His friend Alex (who lived in the apt below me), was over at my house one day and got a phonecall from Ammon. Alex stood up to leave, and as he left i yelled, "tell ammon thanks for texting me!" He looked sooo confused and after some arguing, he agreed and left. It wasnt two minutes later i got the text i had been waiting for. That small little text ended up turning into a 4 day non stop text conversation. I was (i'll admit) very surprised at his whitty humor, and the ease at which we were able to hold conversations. During those 4 days, we ended up hanging out with mutual friends a few times and each time we did, my small little crush began to grow.

I remember, it was a Tuesday, and I was down at Alex's apartment talking to the boys about a group date they were planning. Quinn (one of the boys) called Ammon up right while i was sitting there, and was insisting him to ask out a girl named Cassie! He was pressuring Am pretty badly to "just take her out. She's a cool girl!" and every time i could tell Ammon was resisting his peer pressure. I was silently hoping he would! Quinn eventually got off the phone and said to all the boys "He said to give him a few hours to find someone and if he cant he'll go with Cassie." As soon as Quinn finished with that very sentence i looked down to my ringing cell phone... with Ammon's name on the screen. I left the apartment silently, and answered the phonecall from my big crush. During the convo he asked me to join him on a group date the following thursday, and obviously there was nothing i could do but accept! I was SOOOO excited for thursday to come and was glad that he had wanted to go with ME! I didnt know Ammon too well, but what i did know about him i liked. He was a genuine good guy, and someone that i was really excited to get to know.

Calling ALL

weekend fun

Am and i had a busy but fun weekend! we left for st gee superrr early friday morning to sign the lease for our apartment! Guys.. it is soo cute and perfect. Just a little one bedroom apt with all the regular stuff, and a nice big walk in closet. :) oh my gosh i can hardly wait to start decorating that place. The only crappy thing is that we will most likely only be there until november, and then we are hoping to buy a house!!! what the? Am i really this old? So exciting though.. anddd just being in st george for the few hours that we were got me wayyy too excited to move back.

We hustled our little tooshies back to Lehi so we could go the the Lehi rodeo with some of Ammon's friends. Ok.. so fun. I had totally forgotten how much i loved rodeos. For some reason i cant help but dress up like a hick and talk like one too!

Saturday i finallyyy got to use my much anticipated birthday gift from Ammon.. US Womens National team soccer tickets. Score. I loveee loveee loveee soccer.. and watching those girls play made me realize just how incredible of a sport it is. I miss playing sooo badly! The olympics cannot come fast enough! Best birthday present goes to my sweet fiance. :)

Alex Morgan was amazing!

And then! Last night we went to din din with Jess and Ev. They are practically our favorite. Even cute little Emmitt came along. After a delicious burger at Salt Lake Burger Co, and running into the lovely Williams, we got to go meet sweet baby Jack. That's right.. another one of the six kicks from high school had her baby! He is the cutest little guy around, and has the most distinct gorgeous features. Mommy Brooke and Daddy Dan, are doing so well and are beeeeyond happy to finally welcome him into the world. HOLY MOLY. My friends have children. What the??....

the difference two months makes!

The girlies. Jess. Brooke. Haley.

Lake Powell

Am and I went to Lake Powell this week with his sister, brother in law, and niece and nephew... along with their family friends. It was such a fun trip. (But lets be serious now.. when isnt lake powell a fun trip?... umm never!). We were only there for a few days, and even though it was windy and the water was choppy.. we still had a blast. The only downside to lake powell?....coming home 42904832 pounds heavier. Whyyyy is there always soo many treats?! I guess it is a good thing my first dress fitting went perfectly. No two-a-days for the next 32 days. Hallelujah!!!

I promise my eyes are open

why is he sooo strong?! i can neverrr dunk him.

My cute little [future] niece Grace.

Already on Instaaa

Butttttt just for you my lovely blog followers..... another little sneak peek to our upcoming weddin!!! wahoo!

I know.. i'm teasing you by not posting more.. but i gotta keep you guys on your toes! 42 days and counting! whatttttttt?????

turning 22

Woke up to the most precious kiss ever from the most amazing fiance ever. slowly dragged out of bed to see a bouquet of white roses, a book, and an envelope on the table. opened the envelope to find tickets to see the US National womens soccer team. shrieks of excitement! A Red Sox jersey from his parents. SO happy. shower, get ready, and dance party in the car. Call Me Maybe was the first song on the radio, my response: "this is a sign that it's going to be the best birthday everrr!" Then it was off to lunch with my soon-to-be sister in law, and my soon-to-be niece and nephew. Chili's chips and salsa always make me happy. homeward bound to make welcome home posters for my cute aunt and cousins coming home from Italy after two years. A new purse, maxi dress, and shirt waiting my arrival. Whipped out my high school banner making skills. Blow gun competitions with the little brother. Shot an egg with the first dart. nbd. Fashion Place Mall kindly provided me with a new swimsuit. (complements of mother, of course). bought my first fedora. Way too excited not to have to do my hair when it's greasy.. instant solution: fedora. long shorts and skirts that are "G" approved were added to my wardrobe as well. A quick nap, and off to another wedding reception for my cute friend Aubrey. Hustled home and hustled even more to make it to the airport on time. Waiting and waiting. Ammon holding the sign that said "YAY". Hilarious. And big hugs and happy tears after hugging my cute Aunt Cyd. even bigger hugs for my two cutest cousins Halle and Savvy. (remember when i stayed with them while i was in Italy?) Laughs and funny faces at "Scripture Boy"..their nickname for Am. A drive to grandmas, and Happy Birthday songs sang. The best Nothing Bunt Cake ever. Halle's impersonation of the "Italian Momma's". Lots of laughs and funny stories shared.

22 might have just been the best birthday yet. LOVED seeing the Dixon's.. even though i was lucky enough to go see them in Italy.. Nothing beats having them home and close. Am treated me like a princess and my mom and dad spoiled me. Chan even got me a gift.. batteries and corn husk holders. Awesome story behind that gift.

best birthday ever.

Booty Booty Booty Booty Rockin Everywhereeee

..Yupppp that's mine for eternity.

Too Far?

Sorry I'm not sorry. 

Sue me. 

Ps. Am won the Western Region Golden Glove award. Basically it means he is the best defensive shortstop in all the west conferences. Sweet right? Wellllll that also means he is up for a national Golden Glove award! He doesn't think he has a chance winning it... but i certainly think he does!

Grown up status

we finally crossed something off our hugeee list of to-do's. Today we registered at Crate&Barrel. And oh my heck did we have fun. Who knows if we will get anything off our list.. But if we do I reallyyyy hope it's the super cool cutting board. (did I really just say that?.....) Next up.. we have good ol Target.

And yesterday I finally bought my jewelry that I have been obsessing over for weeks now. Checkity check check check. What would really help is if I could stop having nightmares about ordering/altering my dress wrong. The last two mornings I have woken up in complete panic mode thinking my dress is ruined. Geezzzz! Who knew I would freak out so much over a neckline? I guess that's what happens when the neckline is my favorite part of the wholeee dress. Weird I know.

Are you guys as excited as I am excited for all this stuff?!? :)

The day i almost punched a lady in the church parking lot

The scenario goes something like this:

I walk out of the church building with my sister Kalinee, only to see Blair, a sweet 19 yr old handicapped girl in my ward dancing to One Direction music outside of her mom's car. It was obvious she had taken the keys, rolled down the windows, and was playing the music loud enough so that she could have her own little dance party. I walked over, and immediately she turned the music down so that she could talk with Kali and I. I asked her questions about the music, their upcoming concert, etc... All of which Blair cant really answer because she can't talk very well. Out of the corner of my eye, i saw a woman staring at us from the catwalk that connected the adjacent neighborhood and the church parking lot. I could tell that she was a little bugged about the previous loud music, but was sure she could tell that Blair didnt know better and that the situation was now under control. She stood there for a few minutes, and then the next thing i knew.. This happened:

She walks up to Blair, and in a veryyyy rude, loud, disrespectful voice yells in her face something like this, "Ya know what?! Your music is soooo loud and you just realllyyyyy need to turn it down!" (keep in mind at this point, the music was off).. Mid sentence i looked at the lady and said calmly, "She's handicapped, please don't talk to her like that. You can talk to me about the music, but please don't treat her like that. She doesnt understand." At this point, the lady says, still completely pissed off, "Is this your car?!" to which i told her no, then she looks at Blair and asked her the same question. Blair mumbled in her own little language "MOM". The lady goes off about how since its not my car I have nothing to do with the situation and just need to 'butt out'. I simply said to her "I understand the music was loud but you do not have to treat her like that. She deserves some respect and for you to come yelling at her doesnt solve anything." (i am seriously shocked how calmly i handled this psycho.. i had all sorts of four letter words flying through my head)... She FLIPS out. She goes off about "i have been listening to that music for 40 minutes now (church had gotten out at 4:00, it was not about 4:20) and my kids are trying to play in the backyard and they cant because of this loud music. Ya know what, i deal with this all the time and i can call the cops!" I wanted to sarcastically tell her to call them, because i was sure they would loveee to explain to a handicapped teenager that playing the music loud isnt right. WTH lady. Now, this lady is up in my face yelling at me for who-knows-what! My mom, and Blair's mom walk out see this whole crazy thing happening, and walk over. At this point she is saying "Ya know what? You are an interesting lady! This has nothing to do with you.. SHE needs to learn to behave!" (I'm the interesting lady? youre the one yelling at a handicapped child about music that is turned off?) All i said to her was, "The music is not the issue! You have a right to have the music turned down, but you do not have the right to treat her like that!" ... Then she starts going off about how this is reverse discrimination and yada yada yada because "Where do you live? DO you want me to come BLAST music in your driveway?! Just cuz she is handicapped doesnt mean a thing!".... ok you looney lady. I've dealt with that before actually. Try living across the street from a high school for six months. Morning announcements were fun to wake up to at 7:30 every day!

Anyway, this lady was down right crazy. There were a few times i thought i was going to have to take off my heels and defend myself. I was soo angry that someone would everr treat another human like that, especially one that clearly doesn't know better. I was tearing up trying to get this lady to calm down because the things she was saying were sooo disrespectful. I do not handle disrespectful people well. I am still a mess just thinking about this crazy lady. There are so many things i want to say to her now, but i am so grateful that i kept my 'filter' turned on!

People are crazy. And whether or not she was just having a bad day doesn't matter. I learned a huge lesson. We must constantly be striving to become more Christlike. Even when we are having the worst day ever, or life is hard. If we are always thinking about our Savior, our ability to handle hard things will become easier. I reallyyyyy need to work on that. (Clearly, because i had curse words flying through my head at this lady). This week, my goal is to try to think as Christ would. Maybe we should start a challenge? One week. Everyday try really hard to think like Christ. Who's in?

Oh and while we're at it.. who wants to go egg this lady's house? hahahaha kidding of course.

wrapping things up

I have officially moved home for the summer. [actually just til the wedding]. And i am so happy to be back! It is always a weird transition moving home after living away, but i am glad to be home.

The last few weeks in St. George were very bitter sweet. Am and I both graduated [halle-freakin-lujah!] and unfortunately our graduations were on the same day. I was up in Salt Lake, and Am was down in St. George. That day we were constantly sending pictures and 'wish you were here' messages. {Being away from your fiance, no matter the length of time.. always sucks}. Dixie's graduation sounded a lot more entertaining than the U's. Mine was straight up awful. I could have fallen asleep to our speakers! Even my sweet grandma Tucker said it was terrible. It is a very weird feeling being completely done with school. I had always thought i would go to graduate school, and now i am reconsidering that decision. We'll see. I have to admit i was very jealous of all my Dixie friends being able to walk together.. at the U it is a little harder to connect with friends.. seeming nearly 1100 walked at the Humanities ceremony. Blahh.

I was lucky to be able to take some pictures with my girls in St. G! We started college together.. and we end together!

Am also had his Senior baseball games that same weekend. Which meant another drive down to lovely st g. The whole drive down i was a nervous wreck. I know how much baseball means to him, and i knew that it was going to be a rough series for Am emotionally. Well the senior festivities went well, and i was amazed by Ammon's career stats. First in number of games played. First in number of games started. First in most at bats. Third in most runs scored. Second in most hits. First in most assists. First in most double plays turned. Yeah... he is an all star. The team even coined a saying after his crazy defensive skills "you just got ammo'd" ...kinda cute if you ask me. It is a bittersweet feeling knowing that i wont get to see Am play on the Dixie State field again. BUT i know that he will somehow find a way to make baseball a part of our lives.

ok how cute are these kids.. they were just begging for Am's autograph. so adorable.

The last night we were in Saint George we had a nice little bbq with a bunch of the boys on the team and their girlfriends. It was so fun to talk and meet some of the players that i had never officially met before. I had heard so much about them from the 'girlfriend row' but because of the games i had never met some of them. I loved being around the guys on the team and watching them interact with each other. It made me miss soccer soo much. All the inside jokes. The bond that a team shares. The funny mix of personalities. Sports really are the best! And of course.. a bbq isnt a bbq with out some burnt hot dogs, someone getting thrown in the pool, and a dance party. It was so great. These get togethers is what i am going to miss most about college. ..No doubt we will continue having bbq's and hanging out with friends, but i just know its not going to be the same. I already miss the st george crew!

bbq. 

Now that things have [sort of] settled down.. i guess i should start planning this wedding! I was stoked when i found the perfect bridal shoe on clearance for 30 bucks. Now if i could just be lucky enough to do the same with jewelry. Why is bridal jewelry soo dang expensive?! Plus Am is out of town this week.. Dixie got the regional bid.. so he is now up in Oregon playing more baseball! If they win this tourney they will be heading to Nationals in North Carolina! How sweet right? i wish i could be there sooo badly. I miss him like cray.
