Finished our Annoucements

I am not sure what the final count ended up being but I somehow pulled the last 20 our of no where tonight! Anyway they are done, this is a scanned image of one, I played with the color but I got tired and didn't fix the names on the scanned copy (the invites look normal lol)... Arizona's and random states went out Tuesday I think and we are holding onto Utah ones for a little while longer...

My Wedding Dress is Almost finished!

Update

I am way to busy for my own good...

Lately I have:

1) Been planning our wedding
2) Making invitations
3) Being sick
4) Losing things
5) Skipping work due to illness, stress, anxiety, looming death
6) Trying to do one Spring class
7) Painting in my spare time (pottery, canvas)
8) Scrapbooking

Ok I totally don't have time for those last two but I really enjoy doing them.

Anyway I need to get my new debit card, I need to organize my wedding budget, I need to organize my personal budget...

This is hardly a new post... but simply a check list of things I need to or do not need to do!

Things not to do: Do NOT do other crap that distracts me from a) School b) Work or c) Wedding... (all though I like to do those three things in the order of Wedding, Work, School

39 more FREAKING DAYS then I get a vacation, and I get married, and then I turn 22!!!!

Engagement Photos

Here is a very very brief sample of some of our engagement photos... We took about a million and ended up with close to 100 fantastic shots! These are just some I quickly pulled out, not even including all of my favorites!

Wedding Planning

Yay for wedding planning. Today I got the chance to run a bunch of errands... We got:

1) The food ordered
2) The cake ordered
3) The flowers for the cake topper ordered
4) Took a swatch of red fabric to the florist for Gerbera Daisies
5) Met with Kirsten at the Secret Garden and planned out the reception layout as well as the wedding layout.
6) Got some fabric like Allyson had for her food table to use on ours because it was so cute!

Hair color

Dyed my hair before engagement photos this weekend... Its a little darker than I thought it would be but I like it. YA

Spring Classes

Although they are only approximately 7 weeks they are especially hard (for me) because it means I am sitting in class till almost 8:30 on Tuesday and Thursday.

Today was especially hard after slamming my head (accidentally) into a door. It hurt a lot. It was very loud. My manager that I don't like was sitting about 15 feet away in his cubicle and failed to acknowledge or ask what the very loud crash was. I picked my self up, got through the door and doubled over in the hallway in pain. It was fun.

ARIZONA in 4 days!!!

I am so excited to go home on Friday because I get to:

1) See my family!
2) Meet adorable JACE!
3) Go to Allyson and Jons FABULOUS wedding!
4) Get my and Daniels Engagement photos taken by the amazing Kate Lane!
5) See my friends and extended family!
6) Meet with Cake Lady, Flower Lady, and Caterer!
7) See my dog!
8) Sleep in my bed!
9) HAVE BAHAMA BUCKS (Seriously my favorite thing ever is there kalua coffee shaved ice... I will probably be getting it daily!)
10) We get to fly on a plane and NOT drive 10 hours!
11) Dan gets to have in and out... not that exciting for me but he is super excited about it.

PS I love Daniel

As a counter act of the last post I think it would be good for me to talk about the blessings in my life (just to name a few):

1) I have an amazing and strong mother who has done so much for me and my brothers.

2) I am marrying my best friend who loves me, trusts me, lifts me up, makes me better, and so much more.

3) I have a very giving father who has been so good to me despite my often expressions of stress and bratty behavior.

4) I am marrying into an amazing family. I could not be more blessed that Dan's parents and siblings are honest genuine interesting and loving people!

5) I am so lucky my brothers have decided to be with AMAZING women! My sister in laws (and Kirsten!) have been such helps to me and I appreciate them so much. Its also so nice to have girls to talk to my wedding stuff about and help out so much!

6) I have amazing friends! New and old! I have gotten a great opportunity to live with an old roommate and co worker Mary before I get married these last 2 months and she is fantastic! Also all of my friends I have known for most of my life who are so supportive and sweet to me!

7) I get to graduate from BYU in less than a year!

8) I have a loving and understanding bishop as well as great professors who did not hold it against me that I could not attend school for the first month of the semester!

9) Finally I am thankful for my sight and my health. After what happened to me at the end of last year/start of this year I have been faced with some very scary health issues that at one point left me in the blurry cross eyed dark. I am doing better and have regained my sight and hope for continued health!

Cibola Vista Spa & Resort

Because of school and traveling and limited time we wanted to get in as much time as we could squeeze in for our honeymoon!
We were going to drive up to Park City, Utah for our honeymoon and stay at the Marriott their at the base of the mountain but our honeymoon would only be 4 days and 4 nights that way. Now we are going to stay at Cibola Vista Spa and Resort in Peoria, Arizona and now our honeymoon will be 7 days and 7 nights!!! We are excited!

Go on bike rides with MARY
Clean out boxes in hallway and in storage unit and get rid of JUNK
Finish my wedding plans
Do and send out wedding invitations
HAVE LOTS OF FUN
Work 40 hours a week (at least)
Work on some Scott Christley ART with Mary to get the pain out.
Get married in 61 days!

I am starting to visualize how the rest of my life will be

I have enjoyed finishing up finals this semester. Looking forward to all A's and only one B landing this semester at number one on my best grades list for my time at BYU. I however am exhausted. I have been working a lot and am going to start working on campus 40 hours a week plus another 10 at my 2nd job as well as doing 3 credits of classes which actual ends up being 6 hours a week of classes. I will pretty much be up every day from 7 to at least 8 going straight without breaks... Is this the life of a DIVA? I think not, but its my life for right now.

I love working with my boss Sherene and my co-worker Mary! I hate working with one of my managers Scott but I pretty much keep my mouth shut when I am around him. I love feeling like I am helping my and Daniels future. I don't dislike working, I just disliking not getting to be with Dan as much as I would like. He is working hard too but I want his focus to be on getting through school. I am so proud of his last term at Neumont! It was his best term by far and I am so happy I am marrying such a bright intelligent person who teaches me so much. I also appreciate that he comes from very smart parents.

Anyway I am tired and excited and anxious for the future! As for this weekend I get to move in with my old roommate and current co-worker Mary! Mary is by far one of my favorite people I have lived with while attending BYU and I am really happy that I get to spend my last 2 months with roommates with Mary!!!

Thats all for now!
