The Wedding Has Been Cancelled. Seriously. It has.

So to catch everybody up to speed. Drew proposed this summer when we were in the middle of moving to Montana. He was very sweet about it. Shortly after that everybody started to ask when the wedding was going to be. I didn't really know because we were homeless and unemployed when he proposed, so we had a couple of other challenges to tackle first.

Sometime during mid summer it was suggested by family members that the wedding be planned in conjunction with our family vacation. This family vacation goes by the name of "The Cool Bean Tour." Cool Beans happens every two years and it's a week of family fun. (Past Cool Beans Tours have been to Maui and Alaska.) I seized the opportunity to have our wedding at an awesome destination and began plans with the family for a wedding set on the big island of Hawaii in August 2009.

After researching and planning for nearly three months now this has all changed. Due to my parents complains of the wedding being too much work on our vacation it has been called off. I see their point that it would interfere with our fun time, but I'm pretty disappointed and hurt that they let me think about this for three months before deciding this was a bad idea. I know I shouldn't feel this way, but right now I feel like nobody cares enough to go the extra mile for me. (With the exception of Drew. He's perfect. His family is pretty awesome too with the exception of his evil Step Mother.) I hope this doesn't change my relationship with my family, but right now I feel like reclusing away for a long time.

So to everyone who was thinking they would be invited, sorry it's not going to happen. It has been postponed indefinitely. This is yet another rock bottom for me in a year of disappointments and misfortunes.

"I Don't Think So!"

I thought this was so adorable I stole it from Palomo's blog. (Hope she doesn't mind my cybertheft) This is my nephew Mattias and sister-in-law Palomo using his new catch phrase. Too cute.

Do A Deer, A Female Deer

Drew has been guiding hunters for a couple of weeks and he's already been threatened by wild animals. A hunter and Drew were sitting in a place where deer commonly walk by. He said they were just watching and sitting quietly when they suddenly heard something rustle behind them. Drew turned around to find a herd of 12 doe deers behind them. The girls moved in and circled around Drew and the hunter. The deer were snorting and stomping their hooves for a long 30 minute stare down. Drew and the hunter sat very still and didn't make a sound. Finally the ladies decided they were no threat and they walked off. Crazy Montana stuff.

Here is a photo I took a couple of months ago of some young bucks. They usually don't like to get too close.

Moving to Montana Video

I have been taking video on my flip video camera for the past 6 months to make a short mockumentary of the experience of moving from Los Angeles, CA to Billings, MT. Some of you have been asking to see it and it will come at some point. The reason it doesn't exist is I'm missing one very important piece of equipment that I need for editing my movie. As soon as I have a little extra money I can buy it.

...Until then I'll just post a random Montana picture I took for the heck of it.

Working Girl

The Verizon Wireless job is going alright. It's a pretty easy/boring position. I greet customers as they walk in the door and queue them up to get help. They ask a lot of questions which I have no idea what the answer is. I stupidly have to say I don't know anything and that I only take names at the door. The only difficult part is the standing. I'm on my feet standing in one spot all day long. My feet are slowly getting used to it, but they hurt. Despite the sore tootsies, I'm glad I finally have some income.

Table for one please.

Hunting season has gone into full swing in Montana, and for those of you who don't know Drew guides hunters. He left for Eastern Montana (way way out in the middle of nowhere) over a week ago. He's going to be over there for over three more weeks. In the mean time, it's me and my cats. It's very quiet at home.
