I must preface this blog by saying may the BYU gods cover their eyes and ears cuz I'm about to be blasphemous to my true blue thru and thru blood.
The University of Utah football went completely undefeated this year... now these wins do include a victory over my Cougs so that alone means the Ute team was pretty dang good.
Not only did the Utes go 12-0 in the regular season, they then proceeded to take their happy little team to the deep deep south and effectively bitch slap a nationally ranked Alabama. Excuse my french.
Now tonight, Florida and Oklahoma will be battling it out for a chance to be NATIONAL CHAMPIONS. Florida who ps lost to Ole Miss.... who lost to Alabama who lost to... oh yeah our dear ol' Utes!
So essentially the Utes got screwed. The whole MWC got screwed; but mostly the Utes who worked their tails off to prove to the BCS that Utah is on the map.
So whats it gonna take? When is the BCS gonna be a "fair" competition? Don't think I'm whining about things being unfair cuz I'm not, I'm just wondering when the BCS is gonna be more about the game and less about the cash load.
For my vote anyway, and my family might die when they read this, the Utes had the best team in the nation this season(sorry Cougs I heart you still) and they are the national champions no matter who wins tonight.

Dun Dun Dun
Don't let the title fool you, this is in no way a scary blog. I'm just soooo so so so did I mention SO excited that Disneyland will be in full Halloween get-up when I go this weekend I can hardly wait!! One more day of work, then a day of play and then DISNEYLAND!!
What a crazy 3 months it has been! Justin and I will be celebrating 3 months of the married life this weekend! I can't believe it! It's gone by so fast! I'm an aunt now, Amy and AJ have the most BEAUTIFUL baby girl. I'm going to be an aunt twice over in March, that will be pretty neat as well!
I'm feeling like I have no time in the day to do simple things, like laundry and cleaning, but then I look at my schedule and I definitely do! So I think I shall have to solve the mystery of the missing hours!!!
Justin has officially turned me on to Halo 3. I'm now a sergeant rank 3 or something like that, all it means is that I am absolutely no where near amazing and will most likely provide over half of the kills needed by the other team to win. The trick, if you happen to be unlucky enough to be teamed up with me, is the kill the other team faster then they can kill me. Simple enough right?
Apparently not. But lucky for me my husand is very loyal and forces his friends to also be loyal to me. Also I'm a blast to be around so they put up with my suckiness hahahaha.
I have succeeded in changing some life-long prejudices against salsa. That was quite the feat. I cannot claim all the credit however, My Aunts and Mom and Grandma definitely had a major hand in it, seeing as how they are the official salsa queens!! Every should eat a bowl of salsa at least once a week, it's good AND good for you!!!
I can't really think of anything witty or hilarious at the moment so I'm going to have to get on outta here...

Getting Settled
WOW!!! I mean really, wow! So I'm married now! We're married now, I've just been kindly reminded it's OUR blog. So in 10 days we'll have been married a month and we're STILL trying to get all settled in.
All of a sudden Mrs. Incredible's phone call to Mr. Incredible in which she announces that she has FINALLY unpacked the last box makes sense! I'm going to be that wife! Calling my husband in the middle of a workday to tell him I FINALLY finished the HUGE mound of laundry we had waiting for us when we got back from our honeymoon. (neither of us are real big laundry doers so now I'm looking at almost my entire wardrobe and his that need to be cleaned, folded AND put away)
Now honestly Justin and I have been spending every waking moment together since we met, with the exception of work which puts a small road block in hanging out =) So it's not like I don't already know what a mess he is combined with what a mess I am. But for some reason my brain had a little block up before I became his wife. This little block said "You are his girlfriend, you don't have to clean, it's his mess" weird I know but I was in denial. No responsibility unless I HAVE to take it on right? Well now I'm his wife and the unwritten "wife code" says I have to make sure he is fed and clean and wearing mostly clean clothes(he spills lol) and living in a relatively clean house, and I am telling you that in itself is a full time job.
I really don't know why I expected myself to be able to go from grabbing food wherever whenever, Menu?, and cleaning up only when people were going to be coming over, and by people I mean people other then our friends, and only washing clothes when I was down to wearing a tank top with a sweat jacket over it to work to being all organized and planning meals and constantly cleaning and doing laundry.. I am not programmed for this stuff!
So my plan for this weekend, because Justin is out of town, is to get caught up. Hahaha yeah right, whenI'm sorely tempted to hop a plane and enjoy myself in some unknown destination.
But maybe the responsible side will win out... who knows!

The countdown
So the calender is going to have be scrapbooked somehow... Not only because of the visual proof of a forever marriage but also because I've started marking cute little X's over the days counting down until NEXT WEEK!!
I got to start saying "I'm getting married next week" about three days ago and WOOHOO! It's so much fun!!!
I showed up to work yesterday and thought I'd walked into a carnival. There's all kinds of balloons all over the place, color coding where each division is supposed to sit. Now I'm feeling more like a toddler in a day care center. I sit in my little yellow area, I can't go in the blue, white, green, or red areas, and every few feet there's a "teacher." Whoever said that you leave the schoolyard behind when you jump into the "real world" was sadly mistaken. Or my boss just hasn't ever heard that saying, either way this is ridiculous.

Marriage------------------------------->
In 20 days I will be doubling the length of my last name. It's going to take about a second longer to sign my checks! I just don't know if thats gonna work!
I'm not second guessing or freaking out. Just kind of realizing the HUGE life change I'm about to impose on myself. Did I mention I asked him? Kind of a fluke thing but its true! He thinks its the coolest thing I've done in our relationship, I think its the craziest!
Here's another realization that hit. Justin has a little calender he writes his hours on from work. Well on the 27 of June he wrote married then drew a line thru the end of the month with a little arrow at the end. Wow that was the most black and white visualization I have ever seen! It was like *SMACK* hey Melissa! Marriage is FOREVER. Which I'm ok with! I know that three weeks before the wedding is kind of late to have all this stuff sink in, but I've always been a little shallow. =)
So here I am 20 days away from being the next Mrs. Christensen and having my very own Mr. Christensen!! YAY HUBBY!!
In other news I'm seriously considering selling my ugly pos car. Today it was raining, which nearly solidified that decision. My Ugly, as I like to call it, has a tic. Ugly does not like to roll up her drivers side window. So, without fail, there's about an inch crack, which, with wind blowing thru it at 80mph, gives off a noise quite like a jet engine, PS: don't try to call me while I'm driving, I can't hear you. Another cute perk to this inch crack is if I forget to shower on days like today, no worries! I'll get a nice rinse off on my way to work. Believe you me sitting at work with the whole left side of your person slightly damp is not quite the way to go. Not comfy. I think dating your boss is higher on the list of things that are good to do at work. =)
Ok well I best get back to it, you know the work thing.

Breaking the seal!
So my mom has been getting after me for a few weeks now to get a blog going. Share my randomness or something to that effect! I figure its a good enough idea as any!
So I'm here at work, blogging. Because I'm not nerdy enough. =) Totally kidding!
Today I had yet another reminder that I must be some sort of space case. I had this list, in my head ofcourse, of things I needed to do yesterday. As the day wore on I did a lot of things but as I'm sitting here now I think that most of the items on my mental list just kind of faded off rather then actually being accomplished! In fact I think I managed to invent a whole new list of To-do's that I accomplished yesterday without actually doing anything on the original list! Moral of the story: Write things down. Mental lists are so not the way to go!
