50 Days!

Yup that's a count down to that special day coming up quite quickly in May :) Only 50 days away... yikes! The other night me and Jeff realized that it was only a month and a half away and we couldn't believe how close it is! It's funny because three and even two months seemed so far away, yet here we are at one and a half... and it'll be here in no time. (Which also means the end of the semester... Yay!)

I am SO excited to get married. I really just want it to be that day. I don't want to plan a wedding. I know it should be fun (and it is), but I think I'm a bit crazy to be attempting to plan a wedding during the end of this semester... especially since I'll be taking my two finals on Thursday, the day before we get married. Ha ha! Yup I'm crazy... but it's all coming together. My mom is the greatest. She's doing pretty much all the work... Thanks Mom!! I really do appreciate her so much!

I got my dress coming, engagements taken, videographer chosen, colors figured out... almost ha ha, and announcements to be figured out soon. Yes things are coming together!

*Engagement pictures to be posted soon!*

P.S. In my Preschool Methods and Curriculum class today my teacher told us about this website notjustcute.com. It's a great resource for preschool teachers and moms. It has a lot of good tips and advice, tons of creative ideas for activities, and other resources and articles to read. One of her recent posts was about time-outs and coaching your children. I thought it was pretty interesting.

Spring Break

First of all, you can't even imagine the amounts of mold I just pulled out of our fridge. I almost gagged a few times... It was full. Now it's literally half that... ew. I'll tell ya what, I am SO excited to have my own fridge someday for just mine and Jeff's food.

Spring Break has been great so far! And that sunshine today was heavenly. This week has been pretty relaxing for the most part. It's mostly been consumed by planning and planning and planning a wedding... however we were able to escape down to Provo/Mapleton area last night. We got to hang out with my cousin Nate and my old roommate Staci. It was fun to see both of them! Then we went and hung out with Katie, Danny, and Chris for a bit (talked a little more wedding talk) and then slept the night at Mike and Maridee's next door. Their new house is so cute!

This morning we got to hang out with the girls - Katie, Maridee, Lexie, Taya and Brynlee! It was so fun! I have the cutest nieces ever :) Taya is usually pretty shy when we come around but she eventually warmed up to us. Then at some point Jeff became a scary monster so we would catch him and tie him up with our jump rope. That game turned into one where we would hide in Katie's room and then go tip toe through the hallway looking for Monster Jeff. Once we found him he would jump out and scare us. This was of course followed by Lex screaming as we ran back into Katie's room and shut the door. This went on and on and on.... and on ha ha. It was hilarious!

It was so fun to see all those Mapleton guys down there, since they're so far away from us... but thanks Holley's and Rau's for letting us come play and sleep at your house!

Dress Shopping!

I appreciated my sister and sister-in-law who came up to go wedding dress shopping with me on Monday! It ended up being quite the party with me, my mom, two sisters and three little ones. It was so fun to try on all those beautiful wedding dresses. My mom was no help because she loved every single one I tried on ha ha.

My little three year old niece Lexie was the biggest little helper! She was in heaven. Lately she's been obsessed with my sister's wedding video so she was pretty excited to watch me try on so many princess dresses. :) She was pretty hilarious too. She had to come into the dressing room with me and she would just sit and watch as the lady helping laced me up in the back. Then she would bundle up the train in her arms and carry it out for me! It was so funny! The best one was when I tried on a dress without a train... ha ha she still had to carry the back of the dress out for me. She would tell me that every dress was "cute" or that I looked "cute" ha. She also thought that the slip and corset I was wearing was "cute".... so who knows, Lexie liked it, maybe I should just wear that to the wedding :)

I wish I could remember all the hilarious things she said... she keeps us entertained. I feel bad because my sisters got stuck driving home in the snow storm... sorry! But thanks so much for coming up and I think I found a dress!
