Today is Saturday!

So my week has been great. Just making wedding plans and such. 
School has also been great, I've just gotten really distracted with marriage thingy-ma-jigs. But it is coming along smoothly, and will be better once I am actually married! {THURSDAY!}
The apartment has been coming along. It is still VERY barren, but it will get there. I am especially excited to start making cute crafty things!
The biggest stress in this whole ordeal is moving out. Yes, physically it is really annoying. But more emotionally. If I am sad about anything connected to marrying Erron {which I'm not!} I would have to say that I am really sad that I have to leave my family. The fact of me never being their single daughter again is kind of sad. I'll never come home again to my spot in the garage. I will never get to find comfort in laying in my bed in the basement. I will never thrash my bedroom and have my mom get upset at me because I'm too busy {and lazy} to clean it up. I'll never be able to just walk up stairs to my brothers room to play a game with them or watch Disney Channel while Mom & Dad are out on a date.
So, that part is sad.
BUT the rest is SO HAPPY!
And today I am so excited because shortly I will be leaving for the temple!
Yes, this day has come. 
I've been waiting my whole life for the day when I get to enter the temple. And even more so, when I get to be sealed to my spouse. But, I will be patient because that day is not here just yet. {THURSDAY!}
I am very excited to enter the Lord's house today, and I am very proud of myself for getting to this point in my life. There were so many roads open that I could have taken throughout my journey {some good, some bad} but with the help of my Heavenly Father and Savior, my family and close friends, and with the help of Erron over this last year, I have made it to this day.
I'm totally happy.

Let's get NAKED

If I could sum up today in one word, it would be EMBARRASSING. And horrendous. And terrifying. And scarring. Okay so I lied, I wouldn't have enough words to sum it up in just one word.
It all started today while I was tagging items at the dry cleaners. I was just da de dum and la dee dah.
Everything was dandy.
And then the spirit whispered in my ear and said: "Chels, you really should go to the temple today."
And I thought, "well shucks spirit, you are right! That would totally make my week so much better!" 
And it was then and there that the decision was made.
So fast-forward, there I am in the temple just having a splendid time. I was really happy and could totally feel the spirit. I felt just cheery.
So then I do baptisms, still feeling all happy and huzzah, and grateful to be alive.
Afterwards I have a nice little small talk with the ancient lady assisting me.
I then proceed to take a shower when I am done and still pondering on my experience I'm pretty sure I was still smiling. I was so proud of myself for actually going. {Even though my hair was clean.} 
Well, obviously once you are done showering you walk back to your locker thingy in your towel. 
{This is where it all goes down.}
I take a step out of the shower, and go to put my scrunchie in the "dirty" basket.
*SLOW MO*
As I lift my scrunchie into the basket I realize that the hand the scrunchie was in was also the hand holding up my towel. 
As time stands still, and my body goes numb, my towel falls COMPLETELY to the ground. 
And I don't mean awkwardly halfway down where I have to catch it and run away all embarrassed, NO. ALL THE WAY TO THE COLD HARD GROUND BENEATH MY FEET.
I stand there frozen for .002 seconds, and in those .002 seconds I see the ancient lady slightly reach to help me, but then realize she doesn't want to get involved, and the little girl ahead of me see the whole thing and proceed to turn away as fast as possible. 
I immediately grab the towel and adjust it around my body stealing a glance at the not-so-helpful temple worker. As our eyes meet she says something like "Oh sweetie, it happens to everyone.
BULL-CRAP.
EVERYONE???
Have YOU had a towel commit suicide off of YOUR body?
Yeah, that's what I thought.
But I gave her a quick smile and proceeded to walk away TOTALLY red in the face.
I could not believe it had happened.
I kept thinking I was dreaming and that I would wake up all comfortably in a few seconds. But such was NOT the case. 
Instead, here I am relaying this story to you, my fabulous reader. 
Hoping that through some small miracle, SOMEONE in SOME place of the world will find this funny. 
I'm dying.
