status.

i'm tall so my forehead got shopped off when i polaroid-ed this. but what a nice picture. eh eh eh? they are the most beautiful, talented, best mama's i know. i am proud to call them my own and hope i can be like them when i grow up.

in other news. when danny asked me if i wanted to go to the byu game tonight i pretended that i wanted to. cause i knew he did. like i'm not trying to get you to tell me imma good wife. but, come on, way good wife status right here, yeah? go cougars. go home. cause i hate you. whoa. back to bad wife status. damn.

also. i've been obsessed with lip stick lately. i blame it on my friend evie in the aves. she introduced me to vegas volt lip stick from mac. and i wore it on my wedding day. and then everyone thought i got my make up done professionally but really i just did it by myself in my bathroom. so now every time i walk by lip stick i buy some cause it's only $14.50 and i can justify that amount.

see yuh.

hi.

i changed my name today. it almost wasn't worth it when i walked into the social security office and there were 30 people ahead of me. but i held strong. and now i'm melissa rae sullivan. weird/awesome.

a month ago i would be so pissed at myself for what i'm about to say. but i really really really want to take a photography class. like whatever i'll jump on the bandwagon. and maybe i'll not be good at it. but then maybe it will turn out to be my calling in life. first step, get a camera. second step, no one steal my idea. or i mean no one steal this idea that i stole from everyone else.

danny and i went to virginia for his brother's wedding this passed week. we flew into DC and it was the best. all the sudden i liked sightseeing. but let me tell you that the roads on the east coast are hurl inspiring. like consider walking everywhere. like make your in laws pack in the back seat so you can hog the front. like puke all over the windshield. like make your new husband real grossed out when you miss the toilet. like that's not even a joke. i missed the toilet and instead puked all over the bathroom. embarrassing. i'm trying to be all cute as a new wife, but it only lasted like 2 weeks. cause now danny knows i can spew with the best of them. he told me he thought it was cute. but i could see the horror behind his eyes. poor thing. anyway. other than the perma-motion sickness it was a successful trip.

beginning.

where to begin? they say to start at the very beginning, it's like a very good place to start. but i don't know how true that is. cause that would take a way long time to blog about everything from day one. so i think i'm gonna start from the day danny proposed. cause well, that seems like a very good place to start.

so it was a normal monday. i was bugged like everyone is on mondays. cause mondays are no fun. except when it's bachelor/bachelorette season, then it's fun. anyway. so my work phone rings and it's the front desk lady telling me there is something waiting for me downstairs. i was procrastinating going down there cause i figured it was some delivery for my boss or coupons from some catering company. so i was in no hurry. anyway. so once i finally make it down there the front desk lady was like, a young very good looking young man brought these for you.

(roses, in case you weren't sure. but mostly i just wanted to be obvious.)

so then i like get this ridiculous grin on my face and head back upstairs to my desk. i see a little note in there on a post it note that said "happy secretaries day! love bop." whatever i call him weird names. don't pretend like you don't. so i start laughing. one because it was actually administrative professionals day (same thing you say? no). and two it wasn't until wednesday. but i was still down for the thought. and was loving it so much. anyway. so i go along with my day so happy. and some guy that works with me saw the flowers and was like "what did your boyfriend do wrong?" ha. nothing. he is just the best. 

so after work danny and i meet up and he tells me we can eat wherever i want. so i obviously choose cafe rio and yogurtland. like who wouldn't? so afterward we're heading home and danny tells me he wants to set up the projector to watch a movie and he will drop me off to change into my pj's. totally normal. so he drops me off. and i change into a red flannel and black leggings. looking back i wish i would have worn something way better. like knocked him out with my looks. but oh well. so i am waiting downstairs with my mom. an hour passes. it's like nine pm now and i go to bed at ten. so i am getting bugged. i won't lie. i was actually way mad. so then finally he arrives after i wait for an hour and a half. i don't look at him or speak to him. cause i'm mean and emotional. anyway. so we get to the car and there are diet cokes and kazoozles and gummy lifesavers. and then i'm not pissed anymore. i can be bought. 

so we get to his house. and we get out of the car and i start booking it inside cause it's cold. and i wanna have time to watch the movie. danny is going so slow into the house. he is like fidgeting by the bushes and i am like "hurry!!!" and he says wait one sec. and so i stop and look back and all the sudden his whole tree house is lit up with white lights. "COOL!" i'm still not suspecting anything. danny is pretty random and does stuff like that all the time. i thought he was just showing me the tree house. so we go over there, climb the ladder, and danny takes out the ipad and opens up this cool stargazing app he has been wanting for forever. so we start stargazing. and since i'm a control freak i grab the iPad from him and start checking out the stars. and make an idiot of myself mispronouncing orion's belt. so i'm totally consumed with this app and then danny says "i'll pull one down for you." and i'm all "awww" not really paying attention still looking at the sky. then this huge thing comes flying at my face, luckily i had the ipad to block the blow. once i open my eyes. there he is. down on both knees. asking me to be his wife. and i can't even think. i am like. speechless. he says some cute things and then i am like still not speaking. he opens the ring box and the ring is in the lid. it had fallen out when it fell from the sky on a string danny had set up earlier. we're laughing. it's the best moment of my life. all i kept saying was "you're perfect." literally i think that's all i said for the next 20 minutes. while we laid in the tree house and drank sparkling water. 

this is the longest post of my life. but i had to write it down. even though i'm pretty sure i'll never forget it.

in love and way cheesy.

we're blogging! jk. it's just me blogging. but now i can talk in plurals and people won't think i'm psycho. oooh the perks of being wed.

the wedding is over. wahhhh. we're so sad. but SOOOOO happy. we are married. everyday i wake up and look over at my hubs (don't hate me for saying hubs. i'm trying out annoying nicknames for the husband bear. ooooh ha i gotta remember that one.) and am like "what the crap?" and then i'm like "yesssssssss! we got married." and then life is good. and then i just want to go back to sleep cause there is nothing important to do if i got my love by my side already. but really. it's way hard to get up in the morning now. like really hard. like i might lose my job hard.

the wedding was so perfect. it was everything we wanted and more. all of our family and friends were there to celebrate. i felt like i was the luckiest all day, glancing over at danny and thinking what a babe i snagged. not to mention how sweet he was the whole day. like life was just a dream and i wasn't walking, just floating. seriously it couldn't have gone better.

then there was the honeymoon. unforgettable for reals. cancun is the most beautiful place i've ever been. i never wanted to leave. breakfast in bed. beach. turtles. dolphins. an accidental 5 mile "stroll" on the beach. i will dedicate a whole post to the honeymoon probably.

i have lots of things to dedicate posts to. bachelorette party! three showers. engagements. bridals. all the DIY projects my mom took charge of and pulled of flawlessly at my every command. (seriously that woman is a saint). ELOISE! the temple (amazing, perfect, best). chichen itza. golfing. danny. danny. and more danny. i'm obsessed already.

k bye.
