Home stretch!!!

Oh my gosh! So the wedding is 8 days away!!! I can't believe it! Tomorrow we are going to Ephraim for an open house with all the people Adam knew growing up! I am way excited to meet everyone and see what Ephraim is like! :) Things are still pretty busy! We've been making shirts for all of the bridal party and it has their title and name on it! I finally finished those yesterday. Adam's sister, Catherine offered to make a scrapbook guest book for us for our wedding present! I am so grateful that she did because I have been stressing about what to do for the guest book. I appreciate her so much!!
We got our wedding license!! Wahoo!!! It was so much fun! Although, all we had to do was fill out a paper and then get more papers to have filled out at the wedding! Hopefully we don't forget them! There is so much to remember when all you want to be worried about is getting married. We also ordered a flower girl basket and a ring bearer pillow! It is so cute! I just got them in the mail yesterday and I love them so much!
Last weekend, I finished up my bridal showers! :) They were so fun! The one I had on Friday was thrown by Adam's aunt Laurie and it was mostly his dad's side of the family, my mom, and Emily. The theme was holiday decorations. So everyone got a different holiday and had to bring decorations for it! I was so excited for this shower because I LOVE DECORATIONS AND HOLIDAYS!!! I got some way fun stuff!!

And then Saturday, Tanya threw me a friend shower! I got to see some friends I hadn't seen in a while! It was awesome! There wasn't a theme to it but there were games! I apparently don't know Adam that well! Haha! They made me put a piece of gum in my mouth for every question I got wrong and let's just say that my jaw hurt afterwards.
Let's see what else. School and work have been pretty busy and I am looking forward to having some time off to be with my hunny. I have turned into a little bridezilla sometimes just because I am so frustrated and tired. So it will be nice to rest and relax.
I will eventually put pictures up but everytime I try the blogger won't let me do it! :( Hope everyone had a great week and have a safe and happy Halloween!!! :)

October fun

Hello! It's been a little while. Life has been so crazy busy lately. We finally got our invitations done!! :) I am so happy that they are finished. That was the biggest headache for the most part! I didn't realize how many people I knew until doing those! So now things are coming along pretty smoothly! It is just busy trying to get everything done! I can't believe it is three weeks away! It is just crazy! My bridals are done as well!!! :) And I must tell you that Tanya did a wonderful job! I think they are so beautiful besides the fact that they are of me! ;) Hehe! I love them! She is the greatest ever! I don't know how many times I can say that!

Anyway....Adam was in the hospital for the first little part of October and he was there for his birthday!! I know it was sucky to be in on his birthday but he once told me that he doesn't really celebrate too much for his birthday. But I told him that that was going to change! I love to celebrate things and decorate!! :) So I decorated his room with Halloween stuff and then put up some birthday stuff! I think he enjoyed it!

Now that we are getting down to the wire we have been getting things altered, buying stuff for the wedding, getting flowers done and all that good fun stuff. And now bridal showers are starting again! I have one on Friday and one on Saturday! I am so excited! They are going to be a blast. And Halloween is coming!! Hooray! Halloween is one of my favorite holidays next to Thanksgiving! We went to a haunted house on Tuesday with my friend Ashley, her boy friend, Bryce, and one of their friends, Cody. It was so much fun and it was nice because there wasn't a line! Go to haunted houses during the week! It is awesome! Hopefully we will go to more soon! Adam and I are going to be chef's for Halloween and a couple of girls from my work, Katie and Teresa, are having a Halloween party on Saturday! I can't wait to dress up! Yay! Hope everyone is having a great Halloween season so far!

Adam and I

Two of my favorite girls!

Bridals!!

Tomorrow my wonderful best friend, Tanya, is taking my bridals!!! :) I am so so so so so so excited!! It is going to be so much fun! I absolutely can't wait to wear my dress again! It has been a while since I got it and haven't really worn it or seen it!! Oh my gosh! Yay! I sure hope I can remember how to take pictures without Adam being there! It has been so long!


So the wedding is quickly approaching and it is getting to the busy, frustrating stuff! Yay! My bridesmaid dresses have been the biggest pain so far. But we finally got them ordered and they actually came in yesterday! I can't wait to see them! :) Hopefully they look good after all the stress related with them.

The next project is invitations and getting our wedding bands! Oh and our marriage license!! So much to do!! Hopefully it will all get done!

Bridal shower number 1 and the Greek Festival!

Today was my first bridal shower!!! Adam's mom's side of the family threw it for me and it was so much fun!! Adam's sister, Catherine made us the most wonderful lunch and dessert and his sister in law, Karena put together a bunch of fun games! :) After all that, I opened presents!! Adam and I got some good stuff for the house. I am way excited to start using some of it especially the cupcake book I got! Yay for more baking! Anyway...the other day, Adam and I went shopping with his mom for material for a quilt and we put that together today as well. I had never quilted before but Catherine and his mom taught me and after I caught on I really enjoyed it! I was really happy that my mom came down! Well I was really happy that everyone else came too but my mom had told me earlier that she wasn't coming but she changed her mind! Overall, it was an amazing shower! Thanks again everyone who put it together! :) It meant a lot to me! This makes me just more excited for the wedding and I can't wait to marry Adam!!! <3

After the shower, we went to pick up our invitations!!!! Wahoo!! They are getting done. Now they just have to be assembled and then they will be finished and ready to send!! :) I can't wait to see what they will look like! Then, Adam and I went to Greek Festival!! We had some very yummy food and got to see some good entertainment! I was so happy to be able to go!

That's pretty much it for now. :) Have a good week!

This segment is all about babies!!!!

I finally downloaded a bunch of pictures off my camera and guess what I found!!! Pictures of baby Adelaide! I believe I mentioned her in an earlier post. She is Adam's niece and my soon to be niece! She is just adorable and I am sad that it took me so long to get these picture on my computer! But anyway...this is a picture of Adam holding her for the first time!! He was so excited! :)
So after a while he finally gave her up and let me hold her! :) Can I just tell you that I can't wait to be an aunt!!Yay! Pictures of Miss Adelaide!! Now back to present day...

Today, I went to the zoo with Adam, his sister and brother in law and Madeleine. We weren't there for very long because it was blazing hot outside but we still had a pretty good time. We spent most of the time looking a monkeys and riding the carousel! Madeleine cracks me up though! She has quite a personality on her! And she was so excited to see me today. It made my day!

But as we were going along we found out that a lot of the animals had recently had babies!!! The tigers had three boys! But we couldn't really see them. Apparently tigers sleep 18 hours in a day. Lucky. Also, the snow leopards had a baby! We could see him! He was sleeping next to his mama.

So cute!!! :)

While we were learning about the new additions to the cat families we heard that the giraffes had a new baby as well! We then headed over that way! I think giraffes are so fascinating! And every time we see them I always have to make a reference to Melman from Madagascar. Haha.

Also, the elephants had a baby as well! But she is now out yet! We will have to wait til a later date for that!!

Wedding, Wedding, Wedding, Baptism, Wedding!!!!!! Now back to school!!

ENGAGEMENT PICTURES!!!! FINALLY!!!!!

We got our engagement pictures done!!!! Hooray!! My best friend, Tanya did a wonderful job doing them!! She took 900 pictures!!! 900!!! No joke!!! It was so much fun! We just couldn't help ourselves!! We started out with the purple outfits first. Tanya took us to her husband's grandparent's farm. We took the most pictures there! We just kept finding new places to take pictures! It was wonderful.

Then, we went to the Union Station, that is in downtown Ogden. And there is a train that has the red looking fan thing. We took some there but the light wasn't great! Tanya had the great idea to use the white picture frame!

After that we went to a duck pond that was very popular when I was in high school. We decided to wear the green outfits for that. We had fun playing in the water and playing on the little playground. :)

Now we have to do our invitations! Yay! We have a good idea of what it is going to look like but we just have to pick out a couple of our favorites to use for it. Send me your address if you read this and want an invite! :)

Anyway...a week ago I was baptized into the LDS faith. Yes! It happened. I am more shocked than anyone else, I am sure. But it was the right thing to do for myself and I have never been happier. It was such a wonderful experience. I can't even describe it but it feels good. I know a lot of people have been critical of my decision and think I am doing it for all the wrong reasons. But let me just say that I was missing something in my life and now I have found it. I have spent too much time worrying about everyone else and didn't spend enough time worrying about me. I have found a path that I feel good about going down. It was one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make in my life. But I am happy that I did it! :)

Also, school starts tomorrow!! Woohoo. This summer went by pretty fast!! It might be because it rained most of June and didn't get warm until July. But it will be nice to have something else to keep me occupied. Haha. Hopefully I will be able to get wedding stuff done too. I think I got most of it done like I wanted to but there are a lot of small things to do!

I will try and update again soon. :)

Life the past month...

So the past month has been quite busy! Adam was in the hospital for the end of July. He was in for 2 weeks! I spent most of my time here with him and kept him company! It was fun minus the days I had to work. I would have rather been hanging out with him than working but I did come have lunch with him and popped in to say hello every so often. Oh and he gained 5 pounds! I am very proud of that fact! Let's hope he can keep it on and gain more! :)

After he got out of the hospital, I let him rest for a day and then it was time to continue with wedding plans. I am a mean fiance. Haha. We picked out a cake!! Yay! It is way cute and it is going to taste way good! I hope we'll get to eat some! Then we decided to do our registering as well. We were at Bed, Bath, and Beyond for 3 to 4 hours!!! It was insanity and we aren't even done yet!!! And then, his mother and I went to Modern Display to find flowers and such for the bouquets!! Oh and the greatest thing is that I found bridesmaid dresses!! FINALLY!!!! I was having such a hard time deciding but one of my bridesmaids went with me and we found a perfect one!! Now we need to do engagement pictures which should hopefully happen next week. :)

Anyway...this past Sunday was Adelaide's baby blessing. Adelaide is Adam's neice that was born in June! His brother and sister in law live up in Eagle Mountain so we drove up with Adam's sister, brother in law, and Adam's other neice. It was amazing and such a wonderful blessing! I am so glad I was able to be there! :)

Needless to say, it's been a busy month or so. But it has been fun! More wedding updates and pictures to come once I have some time off!
