It has been a very great weekend. I got to see Paige a lot, that was what made it so great. We did a few fun things together. lets see here...
Friday night we went to a wedding reception that was quite fun. I was able to see all of Paige's family again and that is always fun. Uncle Gary and Garth were both present and they made sure i knew it. I really kind of like them though, they seem to have a sense of humor very similer to my own. the wedding also provided us with some great idea's for our own wedding. awesome candy scoops. :D plus there was pie, now who doesn't enjoy a good slice of marie calender's lemon meringue pie? i know i do. :D after the wedding, The Blindside... that movie will never get old. Sandra Bullock is incredible in it.
Saturday, was a special day, a day to get ready for Sunday... and also go to the festival of colors
in Spanish Fork. oh what a great time. as you can see in the photo we went all out with no regard for ourselves.... no really. im still pullin pink out of my ears and sneezing purple. it was pretty insane. i would tell you the story of this wonderous party of colors and stupid people but i dont really understand it myself. i do get that it was supposed to be a celebration of peace and love. they kept asking us to hug the people around us... we just hugged eachother. There were a bunch of weird people dancing and singing and they burned a witch... or just an effigy of one. then they counted reallly slowly down from 20 and on twenty a huge cloud of colored chalk arose from the crowd and just about suffocated us. it was quite entertaing. :D that made for a wonderful day of fun and games. then in the evening... we ate hamburgers and played boom blox. a sweet game for wii that is surprisingly entertaining. :P ps... ignore Paige's funky chin in the picture... my camera moved, dont judge.!Sunday, well another great sabbath day where i was blessed to be able to attend the Lords house with Paige. i love going to church with her. it just feels right. we were in a parenting class and i raised my hand and made a comment. ya, i even shocked myself. but i felt it was a good one. they were discussing rather or not parents should force their kids to go to church. i think they should and i compared it to parents forcing their children to eat their vegetables. parents are entrusted with the nourishment and well being of their children and must make it their personal responsibility to make sure they are well cared for rather it be physically or spiritually... we make them eat the right foods, we should make them go to church. equally essential on two different levels of nourishment. afterwords we took a nap... wait... no.... Paige took a nap. we then preceded to go to my sisters house for a pretty awesome BBQ with my whole family. i like my family, they are pretty cool. we then parted ways to begin another long, busy week.
question... are weddings supposed to be stressful to plan? im not complaining because im enjoying it but its stressing us both out and i feel like it is unnecessary. I just want to make her happy... really. thats what im all about, but i am finding it difficult to do so with certain others that shall remain unnamed breathing down both of our necks. these other people also deserve to be pleased to a certain degree but they do not agree with each other or with us on how things should be and on what is and isnt normal. i just want my fiancee' to be pleased. im not a people pleaser, im a Paige pleaser. these certain individuals however are neither a paige pleaser or a colton pleaser. blah... this is turning into an unintentional vent fest. sorry, ill stop here. just know that i am unhappy because i know she is unhappy. wait... unhappy i feel is the wrong word, i think we are both VERY happy and thrilled cause we are getting married... but stressed about current situations and circumstances. who do we listen to? one side has done tons of weddings and says this is normal and the other has done tons of weddings and says that is normal? where does the truth lie? this and much much more on the next edition of... lifes a box of chocolates.
