I love making lists. I found this out when I planned my wedding. I made lists for every aspect of the wedding. I had every day planned, hour by hour. I think it helps me to feel like I actually have control over my life. Even after the wedding I am still making lists. Every week I make a "to-do" list for the next Saturday. I plan hour by hour where I will be and what I will be doing. Sadly, I have never done everything on my list. Every weeks I put the same thing on there. "Unpack the rest of the kitchen boxes." 3 weeks after the wedding they are still sitting in my living room....

Mr. & Sister Phister
INTRODUCING: MRS. ANNICA JEWKES PHISTER or "Sister Phister" (everyone can sign now because my new name is so cute haha).
For those of you who didn't hear, I got married! It has been over 2 WEEKS since the BIG day. Married life has been so busy (hence the neglected blog, facebook, and e-mails). But my sister Ashley said I needed a new post. I can't believe how often I have to do laundry now. ONCE A WEEK! I used to only have to do it like once a month or whenever I would run out of black socks for work. Also, moving and unpacking is taking FOREVER! I still have 3 kitchen boxes to unpack but nowhere to put anything. I have already made a million trips to the DI so hopefully only a few more.
Saturday I had a very busy day.... of SHOPPING! I used some of our wedding money (thanks everyone!) on some much-needed decorations for the house. I got some lamps for the living room that I absolutely LOVE, a HUGE red shag rug, a coffee table, couch pillows, picture frames, a bedspread, sheets, and curtains. I hope to put some pictures up when we finish decorating. HOPEFULLY later this month! I need to paint some furniture first! I also got a lot of cleaning done on Saturday. I feel like I got a lot of much-needed work done!
I only have 2 more months of school left!! Pharmacy 2 has been so much harder than
Pharmacy 1. At first there was 3 quizzes a night, now it is down to 1 but they are FULL of information and it's hard to remember everything. But, I am making it through. Last night we had our Musculoskeletal Drug test and I got 100%!!!! I was very happy! Probably in August I will start my on-the-job-training and after 180 hours of that I will be completely DONE! Then I can really start playing "wife." (and go back to reading my precious library books!)
So, all in all, June has been amazing so far! I love being married to Daniel. It's so nice living with your best friend. He is so supportive and helpful! And I love taking care of him! Being married it awesome! I feel like a lot of stress has been lifted off my shoulders.
I will say one thing about planning a wedding though.... I NEVER want to do it again! It is very stressful! But in the end it was worth it. Everything turned out so nice! It was the best day ever!
Anyway, hopefully pictures will come in my next post!

"I'm Getting Married In the Morning, Ding Dong The Bells Are Gonna Chime"
So I am sitting here at 12:35 AM on the DAY of my wedding. I should be sleeping OR getting the million little things done that I have left to do... but I am blogging instead. I thought I would just take a minute and write down some thoughts.
The wedding day is a day that every girl dreams of her entire life. It seems like it has been such a long road, but that day is here for me. And I can't believe it. This really has been the longest 2 months of my life.
I am so ready for the wedding plans to be over and to just enjoy my new life with Daniel. Sometimes I think I should have taken my mom's advice to skip the reception and just save the money. Weddings are hard. There are a lot of emotions (from every side) that go into planning a wedding and there is a lot of stress. Sometimes I really wonder if having a reception and big wedding celebration is worth the stress and strain that it causes. I guess we will find out tomorrow.
For all you helpers out there, I would like to give a big, huge, THANK YOU (informally, you will get a "thank you" note too). So many people have been there to give me ideas and support. I really couldn't have done this without the help of so many of my friends and family; especially my mom. She has done some pretty amazing things for me. Thanks to her, my reception looks amazing! There was no way I could have come up with it all on my own.
Anyway, sorry to be so deep and talky right before my wedding. I do want you all to know that I am very excited to get married and to start a new journey with Daniel. Let's hope it's a good one! Wish us luck!

Look At The Pretty Flowers......
This is a picture of my yard (I rent from Ashley and Heber). Aren't the flowers pretty? And no, I am not just talking about the tulips. I am also talking about the OTHER pretty little yellow flowers scattered all over the yard. They are called Dandelions. And they wont go away. I think I have the prettiest yard in the whole neighborhood. Too bad I am moving soon. :-)

Take It One Day At A Time
I was cleaning out my Pharmacy folder to get ready to start class again tomorrow and I came across this quote that the teacher handed out. I thought it might be good to apply this to my own life, and thought maybe you all would want to think about this too. I think the world would be a lot happier if everyone applied this message to their lives. Just something to think about...
"THERE ARE TWO DAYS IN EVERY WEEK ABOUT WHICH WE SHOULD NOT WORRY- TWO DAYS WHICH SHOULD BE KEPT FREE FROM FEAR AND APPREHENSION."
One of these days is yesterday, with it's mistakes and cares, it's faults and blunders, and it's aches and pains.
Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control. All the money in the world cannot bring back yesterday. We cannot undo a single act we performed. We cannot erase a single word we said. Yesterday is gone.
The other day we should not worry about is tomorrow.
Tomorrow is beyond our immediate control. Tomorrow's sun will rise, whether in splendor or behind a mask of clouds. But it will rise. Until it does, we have no stake in tomorrow.
That leaves only one day- today.
Anyone can fight the battles of just one day. It is when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternities -yesterday and tomorrow- that we break down.
Let us therefore live one day at a time.
