Yesterday I was told I looked green and I was glowing in the same hour.
Hopefully I have more glowing moments than green moments. :-/

Well it's official!!!
WE ARE MARRIED!!!!!
We sealed the deal on Saturday and have lasted almost a week and not killed eachother... I think we are doing pretty well! ;P
It is so nice to finally just BE married. No more having to drive home at night, worrying about being in the same bed or not being "chaperoned" and being with each other!
We had a cute little mini moon down to Santa Cruz/Monterey and it was lovely. It was great to get away lol ( I'll blogg w/ pictures later)
Now life is just getting used to schedules, the city, being MRS. ATHEY, and being introduced as his wife... It still catches me offguard lol
We are embracing this new time. Yes it's a little scary... But hey, we have eachother!

Beginning is in sight!
Sooooooooo Its October... and that means:
WE GET MARRIED THIS MONTH!
... and we are just a little excited, freaked out, overwhelmed, and ready for it to be over! :)
This little fact keeps hitting us incrementally at different times.
When I got a dress
When we got the marriage license
Moving into the apartment
When we were putting together favors
When we were stuffing and stuffing and stuffing envelopes
When we had our temple recommend interviews
AFTER the Living Ordinance interview :)
We cant wait to be married but its a little scary... as Mike puts it :" to become an old adult"
He doesn't want to grow up...
What he doesn't realize is getting married doesn't mean we grow up... it just means we found our partner in crime ;)
What are we getting ourselves into?;)

the last few weeks....
Well here we are! We made it! I never thought this month would come but here it is!
Slight recap of the past few weeks:
Mike Moved! = no more Athey kids at home!
Mike started school= getting back into the grove
Kati Moved + moving drama with old roomate= Mike saw a new side of me :-/
Mike - weight=Mike bought size 34 jeans! He looks so good!
Invitations + getting addresses + stuffing= no date nights
Graduation from the 720 program at NHI + my mother actually showing up= tears but I found out how many people are on my side
Student Services Award + Graduate with Honors + Letters of Excellence + Student of the Month= Being a Teaching Assistant BEFORE I graduated
Ambition+ Drive+ a very supportive Husband ( we will be married when I start the program) = Advanced Neuromuscular Program (400 more hours of school)
It has been a rough couple weeks, but we are growing closer and I cant wait to get sealed to-and start my life with- such a wonderful man!

Changes
Sooooooo... This weekend Mike moved into our place in San Francisco!!! I couldn't be there for the actual move, but I came later that day and brought a carful of MY stuff to ( as a friend put it- stake my territory. Haha) this was the first time actually SEEING OUR PLACE, and frankly, I LOVE IT! it's bigger than the place I have now and has cute little quirks that will fit Mike and I well lol
Starting to unpack was quite an experience... I love how organized he was but there was one box I opened named : "living room misc" - I could only identify ONE thing in the box. He explained what everything was and said: " don't look at me like that... You have weird stuff to!" he couldnt name anything at that moment... But later when I was playing with a crazy Japanese hamster toy ( that my dad got me for a gift a few years ago) spinning around in the kitchen... I understood that he MAY have a point. :D
I love him and appreciate his ignorance... He has no idea what he is getting himself into... Granted he thinks my "PMS" ( I have only expressed it 2 times since we have been together) is funny... But he hasn't lived with my crazy shenanigans yet.he he.
67 more days!!!

87- so the countdown begins! :D
Time is ticking and the faint echo of wedding bells are now able to be heard in the distance.
When Mike and I looked at our countdown this weekend it said 89 days until our marriage... Our response: "When did it get under 100?" hahaha
It seems so unreal that in few months I will be married to Mike, the love of my life. CRAZY!
This weekend, I felt. was one of those defining moments for us... it was very stressful and we worked together as a team so well. I was stressed because my mother gave me my car for my birthday ( with a bunch of strings including registering, transferring the title and getting insurance in a few days ( amongst the issues with my license) right when we were going to deal with the insurance my roommate franticly called with an issue and so I had to deal with that while Mike talked to AAA. I am so grateful that he did that for me! We ended up both getting off the phone within 10 seconds of eachother and immediately I felt: " we CAN do this!" :) Such a great feeling!
On Saturday we took our engagement photos and the photographer (an old friend of mine) kept saying: " well you two have the 'happy couple' look down!" she explained to us that a bunch of couples that she has done wedding and engagement photos for ... don't seem happy. HOW SAD! And probably why there is a over 50% divorce rate! We giggled, swooned and acted like dorky engaged folk :) It was fun! I cant wait to see the pictures! The girls ( twins) are very artistic and have a knack for portraying the feeling of the moment :)
Side note: I reach 500 hours with my program on Monday! You know what that means...........................
( no? well im going to tell you if you...)
CALIFORNIA CERTIFICATION!
which means I CAN APPLY FOR JOBS!!!!!
Before I can officially send in my application for the certification, I have to be fingerprinted... Yay for being in the "system"lol
YAY!
JULY: Certification & job hunt
AUGUST:Mike moves, Mike starts school, I move
SEPTEMBER: I graduate and start freaking out about the wedding ;)
OCTOBER: Endowment and Wedding! Then I think it will be a good time to take a breath!
