can't get enoughhhh.

Tye-Dye date night!

so jake and i like to have a date night each friday night, we just plan something fun to do and have a "date" night, it was my turn to plan the date night this week so i had the idea to tye-dye tshirts and then we went out to eat in them, we got alot of comments on our shirts, we must be the only ones who wear them anymore. :] but we had alot of fun making them! i also had the idea to pull some pranks on some of the couples who live in our apartment complex, some we have only met once or twice. We went to the DI and bought 4 glass bowls, and 4 random gifts, and we popped some popcorn and put it in the bowl and left the popcorn and one of the little gifts with a note and poem and a p.s. on the note that said "the popcorn is free but please return the bowl" but didn't leave a name, and we just left them on the door-step of their apartments! we got a kick out of buying the gifts and leaving them out! and it was really cheap!

these are a couple pictures of what the gifts looked like that we left out. we tried to find the most random things we could i think we did pretty good, a eyeball candle, cat soap holder, coconut monkey, and a pillow with an old couple sewn on.

Our first apartment :]

The living room The Kitchen

(the 'surf board' table doubles as a dining table and computer desk! )

The bathroom our empty- kitchen table area :]

So, it's a little snug, but we fit perfectly! It's so fun being married and making our first little apartment a home! we just love it! :]

wedding wedding wedding!

well, it's all over now, i know, i'm WAY late on posting, but i finally got my internet up and running and so i thought i would, the only thing is, because i live in Rexburg i have not made it back to preston to pick up my "professional" pictures of the wedding, so i am just putting some up of the ones i had on my camera that ashlee, chris and lisa took. :] then when i get my good ones, i promise i will post them.
The wedding was amazing! I absolutley LOVE the Salt Lake Temple! it's soo beautiful! The wind was blowing like crazy when we came out though, so i don't know how good the pictures will be, cos my hair kept blowing in my face, and it got all messy. :[ but it was so much fun to be there with friends and family, and just enjoy the moment. i wasn't as concerned about the weather as i was the days before. The reception was beautiful! My mom did such a GREAT job in getting everything together and set up, it was a little stressful during the day gettting everything done, but it all worked out great!
this is a video jake and i did, just because a 2 hour drive to the place your getting married, can seem a little long. and we like to try to keep ourselves entertained. :]
this is me and jake after we fed eachother cake, he had it all over his face and in his eyebrows, and i had a HUGE chunk down my dress, it was the sickest feeling having that all crammed down there, poor jake though, he told me from the day we got engaged that he would not be smashing cake in my face, and he didnt. awe, what a sweetie. hahaha

this is all the jakes and ashlee's. ashlee higley, jake higley, me (another ashlee higley), jake pulsipher, and ashlie pulsipher.

this one doesn't need comentary.

jake and ashlee

the BEAUTIFUL salt lake temple.

jake and i made a pit stop at a mavrick on the way to salt lake, we were hungry and i was kinda tired, so he got us some corn dogs, and me a red bull to keep up the engergy level. (it worked)

12 days left!

Wow, i really suck at this whole blog thing. i'm really trying to keep it caught up, but i guess i just get too busy and/or sidetracked on facebook ;] anyways, we are down to 12 days! holy moly! and i'm proud to say we have almost everything done. What a relief. Lynette did my bridals a couple weeks ago, they turned out really cute, she does such a great job, and is really fun to work with!

Today we had my bridal shower, it was so fun to get together with everyone and celebrate a little, it makes things a little more real for me, i still don't think it has fully hit me i am getting married yet, beleive it or not. Thanks to everyone who came!!

Just 35 days left.

34 days!

MAN! time is flyin' by! all of a sudden i am only gonna be a single girl for 5 more weeks. WHAAAT?! pretty much my mom rocks and has been the best wedding planner a girl could ask for, everything is about done except picking out a cake and jake's ring, and mailing invites,and getting a backdrop, and bridals...and reception decorations, and bridal shower, and food. ..ookay so there is still quite a bit to get done. but most of the hard part is done that is good. Jake and I decided that we will most likly be heading out to Virgina for the summer, if everything goes as planned we will leave 10 days after we get married, and be back in august sometime. nothing like living one one coast then the other in a matter of months! :] We are super excited and counting downt the days!

Jake and shane came in on my lunch break at work and went out to the shooting range. Jake just bought a new gun and he wanted me to shoot it. I was all for it till i watched him shoot it. Then i decided it would prolly sprain my wrist, but he finally talked me into it. After i shot it i decided it wasn't too bad, but it took me a while to warm up to it. I still don't really like to shoot it, guns just aren't my thing, but hey, what can i say i am a dang good shooter. ;]

Jake is going to kill me for posting this, but i love it when he plays his guitar for me. I was in the bathroom getting ready and i ALWAYS listen to music when i get ready, and i was at jakes house so i didn't have any music so i begged jake to play for me, he got grumpy and kept saying no, and i kept begging him to play for me. So, finally, he gave in a played for me. I only got half of the last song he played on video, but he is quite the entertainer. :D
