May 6, 2011 :)

Get ready for a blog post overload... I'm super behind!

We've already been married for close to two months! It's crazy how fast it goes by. So we don't have our wedding day pictures yet from our photographer, but I promise to post some of those once we do.

Our wedding day turned out to be a beautiful day. Temple grounds were breath taking, our sealing was wonderful, luncheon was delicious, and the reception was perfect. It was so fun to be surrounded by so many family and friends, and to feel of their love and support for us. Everything went perfectly all day, despite the fact that we lost our truck in the parking garage... Twice. The second of which took us at least twenty minutes to find it. Also apparently Jeff wanted to go on our Honeymoon early because he ended up on 2-15 headed towards the airport ha ha. This all resulted in us being about a half hour late to pictures.... it's all part of the adventure right?! Ha ha. The whole day was go-go-go, yet surprisingly very fun and low stress level.

I know it's cheesy, but I can honestly say that it was the BEST day of my life, to date. I've never been happier :) And I'm so grateful for a temple marriage. All my life I've heard everyone say this and how much it blesses their lives and their family, and now I finally understand. I can't imagine it any other way. It's a huge blessing, and I'm so excited to be able to spend the rest of my life, and Forever with my Best Friend!

SO Far Behind...

I will update my blog someday soon... I promise! Now that I actually have time to blog, we don't have internet :( But getting it soon hopefully!

Wedding/Honeymoon posts to be coming soon!

Busy, Busy, Busy!

**I've been meaning to update my blog but life has been so CRAZY! I'll tell ya what... it may not have been the brightest idea to try to plan a wedding while working and trying to get through my so far busiest semester... but oh well. All I can say is that the end is near and that we're down to 3 weeks left! :) YAY! It's great because the countdown is not only to our wedding, but to the end of the semester and the coming of SUMMER! So close.**

This last weekend was awfully productive. I had my first Bridal Shower thanks to my Aunt Becky and dear cousin Jen. It was fun! Presents, chatting, food, chatting... you know how those things go. Jeff even came because we had a meeting with our videographer in Sandy just before, so he got to meet some more family members. Sorry no pictures... everyone seemed to forget their cameras.

Following the shower we then had a meeting with the Photographer. Ten minutes after he left the florist showed up! Ha ha. It was a busy but productive weekend, and I'm beginning to feel better a.k.a less stressed about everything. Just gotta get through this next week and then after Thursday (when my last huge project is due) I can Breathe!

Well... I think that's all I have to say right now. I'll be posting some of our engagement pics soon!

One YEAR!

April 10, 2010 = The Best Worst Date Ever :)

The date that started it all...

We celebrated our one year anniversary by going back to Baby Animal Days! Unfortunately it decided to snow all weekend so it was much smaller this year. However, despite the snow and mud I told Jeff the we HAVE to go because it's a very significant event to our relationship. I can't believe it's been one year!

One Year Ago: Wagon Ride

This Year: Wagon Ride

One Year Ago: Baby Bears

This Year: Baby Bears! SO cute!

One Year Ago: Baby Turtles

This Year: Baby Turtles

One Year Ago: Baby Chicks

This Year: Baby Chicks!

And of course we can't forget how that date one year ago ended....

Ha ha. It's amazing to me that this is what brought us together :)

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!
