So long, Northwest...

We are moving to Oklahoma after the wedding. Wish me luck!

A year ago, if someone told me, "Sonja, after you graduate you will go to Oklahoma for grad school, and you probably will even stay awhile after" I would've been like, "Okla-what?" and wouldn't have been able to point to it on a map....ok, I still probably can't. I'm extremely nervous to be moving away so so so far from my home and all things familiar to me... but it will be ok.

Please visit!

Barocky Road

My friend Eric forwarded this to me. I thought it was pretty funny:

In honor of the 44th President of the United States , Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream has introduced a new flavor; " Barocky Road ". Barocky Road is a blend of half Vanilla, half Chocolate, and surrounded by Nuts and Flakes. The Vanilla portion of the mix is not openly advertised and usually denied as an ingredient. The Nuts and Flakes are all very bitter and hard to swallow. The cost is $100.00 per scoop. When purchased it will be presented to you in a large beautiful cone, but then the Ice Cream is taken away and given to the person in line behind you. Thus you are left with an empty Wallet, no change, holding an empty cone, with no hope of getting any Ice Cream.

Are you feeling stimulated?

Bry-Doll Pick-churs

Today I took my bridal picture in Salt Lake. Jun Sung was my photographer (same guy who shot our engagement photos). What a swell chap too- he drove me to Salt Lake and back, helped tie and untie my bustle, and carried my shoes and bouquet! He also would randomly murmur "Beautfiul" and "Aw, the gorgeous" after his shots, which made me excited. I give him an A+.

He gets extra credit too for emailing a few already edited photos! Here is a sneak peak:

This was inside Grand America Hotel. The hallways we beautiful , as well as the elevators . This picture is dedicated to Michael and Melissa, my friends who went dress shopping with me! They knew that one of my criterion for my wedding dress was it had to make a good sitting down picture! haha.

Buh-bye Internship!

Today was the last day of my internship. And the last day of BYU classes.

What a great day.

*$%&# Weather

I can't stand it when people who say, "Utah weather is great because it has all four seasons!" Uh, no. It has two and a half seasons, actually. There is hot summer from June until September and then there is what seems to be approximately 40 minutes of fall followed by a seven month Winter. SNOW IN APRIL??? What is this? And now it has decided to rain on Sunday so I get to reschedule my bridal picture appointment. Boooo.

And no one better tell me that dumb "April showers bring May flowers" crap; because I am going to be in Washington in May and I know that means more rain. Double Boooo.

Frustrating!

UGH! Cute blogs are NOT easy for me! This is sooOOooOOooOOo irritating. Yes, I am aware that everything looks cut off on the right hand side, but I canNOT find how to fix it. Blah! If anyone knows, please help!

More pictures!

Weeee, more pictures! They are all on facebook too if you want to see the whole bunch:

Engagement Picture Sneak Peak...

Let me start off by saying....what the heck, family? Why don't you comment?? haha. I know its not a big deal, but it's nice to know whether or not my blog is being read.

Moving on....

Our amazing photographer, Jun Sung took our pictures last Saturday and emailed me a few samples. I will get the rest of the pictures tomorrow. I can't wait! Here are a few of the ones that Jun emailed me:
I think I should sell this one to Sammy's. Don't we look like we are in a Sammy's ad?? I like how colorful it turned out!!
This one is more like an ad for a second rate perfume. But we still like it.
I love this last one. Jun made it look so cool! I just wish I didn't look like I was giving the camera the stink eye. Jordan looks dreamy in it. Ooh lala!

That's it for now...stay tuned.
(Augh! This is my last post as a 22 year old! I'm going to miss being 22!!)

Purple never looked good on me anyway.

Jordan and I have been very anxious to hear back from the two graduate schools that I applied to, seeing that they are our first choice. I've checked the mail everyday with high hopes of hearing from Eastern. I called the school about two weeks ago to check n my status and they said I should receive my application response (or whatever it's called) in about two weeks sooooooo each day I was expecting to hear from Eastern.

Today Jordan walked home with me from school and we decided to check the mail together. Sure enough, there was something in there!

It was a small envelope from UW. Boo. Not a good sign. Jordan remained optimistic. He kept saying, "Think positive! You don't know what it says!" I, on the other hand, could smell the rejection. I opened and read the sucky lines, "Sonja, we are sorry to inform you...yadda yadda yadda." Bottom line: Not going to be a huskey.

I was pretty disappointed. I really wanted to live close to family and be able to experience living in the actual city, Seattle. But we are hoping on Eastern and if we get in there, little Cheney Washington will be our home for a year. Jordan promised me that we could try to go to Seattle as often as possible.

So, we can cross UW off the list. Now let's keep our fingers crossed for Eastern.

Honeymoon!

Jordan booked our honeymoon tonight. We are on a 7 day cruise to Jamaica, Mexico....and somewhere else that I can't remember but I recall it being tropical and awesome. We are so excited!!! Time to register for a bobsled...
