My current life revolves around wedding planning. There is always so much to be done. Lucky for me I am blessed with A LOT of help. It has made my job very easy.

Some current events in the pre wedding planning include:
Re-piercing my ears. One ear had closed in and the other hadn't. It was a problem.
Dress bought, bussled and bridals taken!
Invitations out
Parting gift labeled
Food ordered
Flowers picked out
My stuff (besides my essentials) moved to our new place
Table center pieces done.
There are probably a million other things I am leaving out, but we have a lot done. There is a never ending list of things to do.
I will leave you with a glimpse into my engagements. I have some of the most AMAZING and talented photographers!!!





We are down to 19 days and counting! I am so excited to marry this boy!

Currently my life has been consumed with work, benson and wedding planning. I have come to find out that there is so much more involved in planning a reception than I could have ever imagined. I spend quite a bit of time on wedding blogs searching for inspiration. Here are a few flower arrangements that I have fallen in love with...

It's official!

Last night it became official!!! I am getting married September 18th in the Mt. Timpanogos Temple. I have other pictures, but I am nannying and don't have my computer.

For now I will just post this one and tell you the story that lead up to me getting it.

We have had the date planned since before he was released. While he was out we had only hinted we wanted to seriously date when he got home and never actually used the word marriage. His parents went and picked him up and spent a week touring his mission with him. We talked on the phone every night and with the help of some good intentioned harrassment given to him by his brothers, we set a date (we did that on June 29th)! It was a bit nerve racking not seeing him and having a date set, but luckily seeing him things only got better.

Last night he managed to convince me....or had shelli tell me she needed my help looking through wedding decorations at the saratoga house (thanks shelli!)... my mom put the kids that I am watching to bed so I could run out there. While I was out there he took slightly reluctant me on a fourwheeler ride (it was storming and I tried to convince him we could go another night... he was pretty set on going ..) to a sentimental spot we had before the mission. He propsed there and I couldn't be more happy!!!!! I love him!!!

Last Friday was the Tim Mcgraw concert. Russ and I had bought tickets months before the concert for us and some dates. We had a close call with our tickets (they gave us the wrong tickets... we had to rebuy tickets just hours before it started). We made it there though. We sat hours in the hot heat waiting for it to start.
It was worth the wait. Lady A opened and was followed by Tim. Both were amazing live!
