Look! It's our new apartment!
This is the front door and the front closet. There's another closet with a door just opposite this one.
This is just right next to our front entrance, hehehe, our little TV and DVD player :)
This is my bestest friend from BYU, Emily sitting on our couch!
This is the view from the couch across the room into the kitchen. That's our bedroom back there!
Between the bedroom and the main room is this little hole for our washer and the bathroom right next to it.
TADA! The bathroom!
One view of our bedroom...
... and the other view of our bedroom!
Dustin and I got our apartment, and I just moved in yesterday! I thought you'd like to see :)

Dear Birth Control,
I hate your stinking guts. You make me vomit. You're scum between my toes.
I have officially decided that I absolutely hate these little itty bitty white pills. Not only do I have to swallow them EVERY day, they make me CRAAAAZY! One moment I'm feeling anxiety like I'm about to jump off a cliff, the next I'm feeling depression like I'm a penniless college freshman about to take finals, transfer schools, move, then get married, then the next moment I feel totally fine. Other times I feel like I'm bouncing off the walls with happiness (these times aren't so bad, I kinda wish I had more of these, but sadly, these are the less-frequent episodes,) and still other times I feel like I just want to punch those cinder block walls. I can't figure myself out! And the worst part of it all is that through all this feeling as though the battle of Gog and Magog is waging inside of me, I can still see the rational side and tell myself, "Get a grip, Katie, its just hormones..." BUT IT DOESN'T HELP! Because that just makes me mad. You know what's funny? The doctor told me these were the lightest possible pills she could give me that would still work. Meaning, if I don't take these, I've got nowhere to go. So my rational side tells me, "Deal with it, Katie, get used to disappointment," and then I get mad at my rational side. Its hopeless.

Seventy Four Days
Wow! I know it has been a long time, and I have absolutely no excuse :) Anyway, I just got out of my Introduction to Sociology class, and after being drilled about rationalization and globalization and the decline of the social world for an hour and a half, I got bored of checking facebook or my email while no one was on, thus my escape to blogspot! I figure I should probably give you a summary of what has been going on since my last post before I tell you all about my day though :P
So, Dustin and I went to Georgia for Christmas, during which time he officially proposed to me (it was so cute by the way, and if you want to see a video, Phil took one and posted it on youtube - you can just type in Dustin proposes to Katie and it should show up!) and we had a blast. I still have a bunch of M&M's to eat! We came back and started our new semesters. I work on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, and go to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays... all day. I wake up at 5:30 to leave the house at about 6:10, get to the bus by 6:25, and get to school by 7:25 then start class at 8:00. I catch the bus back home at 8:18 in the evening and get home by 10:00. Miserable. That has essentially been my life. Work, school, wedding!
Wedding plans are coming along nicely. Really, I feel like it's just a game of waiting now. We have our colors, our reception location, the date set at the temple, my endowment session set, my dress, the photographer, the honeymoon, the doctors, the flowers and ideas for pretty much everything else. Is there anything we're missing? Yeah, it just seems like it's forever away. Seventy four days to down and seventy four days to go!!!
I've just been realizing lately, you know, those "aha" moments? that it's such a miracle that we have each other. And I know it sounds cheesy, and I know we're just young and in love, but it's amazing to just hug and know that we will have the ability to feel that way FOREVER. I never realized until now what a blessing those words are "for time and all eternity." I hope that I can always remember that. Not everyone has that privilege to know they'll never be parted, even by death. It truly is the greatest gift of God.
