Valentine Heart

I made this Valentine's heart.



Here is my husband and our door hanging Valentine heart.

Honeymoon

We went to Midway, Utah for our honeymoon and stayed in a little inn called the Invited Inn. My love didn't tell me where we were going until we were on our way to the temple. It was fun to have a surprise!!


We went and saw the ice castles and it was so cool! It is amazing how people think up ideas and then execute them. Here are some pictures:

My Wedding Day!

I got married February 4, 2011. It was such a great day! I was surrounded by loving friends and family. Here are some pictures from the day!

I get married on Friday!!

So, I am getting married on Friday! I am so excited! It seems like it took forever to get here but now it seems like it has come too quickly!!! Last Saturday we went to take bridal and groomal pictures. I can't wait to see what they look like!

I have a few things left to do like make a clip for my hair, organize our apartment, make a guest book, frames with pictures, and make a DVD with pictures and music. Other than that I think that we are finished!

Am I missing anything?

Wedding Ramblings #3

Well . . . we've been kind of stuck... I am getting pretty nervous about getting everything done. Luckily, I have a friend that is helping me out a TON!!! Thank you Jess!

CAKE!!! I found a picture of a cake that I like. I may do butter cream instead of fondant and have colored flowers. I like it. We are still trying to find someone to make it. Hopefully I will be able to check this one off the list soon.


Catering vs. doing it yourself . Right now this is the big dilemma. I would love to do it ourselves but I don't think that it would be practical for us. With catering it's all taken care of. We won't have to check to make sure there is still food on the table, we don't have to set it up or take it down. We will have to FORK OUT a bunch of $$$$$. It would cost less to do it all ourselves but we don't have the man power and space to have all that food stored. Plus, both of our families are coming from out of town so that will be a juggling act. I can't wait to see them though!!! I miss them terribly!

Flowers and centerpieces. Are the last big piece to the puzzle. I have an idea of what I want. But still working it out in my mind.

We are going to get our announcements done during Christmas when we are up in Washington so you should be expecting yours soon. You better sign up on our form if you haven't already, if you want to get an announcement!

I am sure I am missing something. Let me know if you know what it is.

56 days!!!!

Wedding ramblings #2

We had our engagement pictures take on Saturday, November 13, 2010 at the Lehi Train Station. At first I was bugged that we had to drive down there and that she didn't really know of any places in Salt Lake but it was so cool. I liked the buildings and train tracks. To view a few of our engagements you can go here. There are a few that we really like. I am excited to start putting together an announcement. Hopefully soon you, my friends will be getting one in the mail!

We also turned in our application for the apartment we want. We had to have a background check and credit check done on both of us. Luckily, we passed! It kind of stinks that we had to pay $50 to get something done that we knew we would pass. I guess to get an apartment that is criminal free and cute we have to do it. I think on Saturday we will probably put the deposit down and secure the actual apartment we want.

We also have been stuck on a reception center. We are leaning strongly to Noah's in South Jordan. It is pretty close to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple, in fact from the room that we would have we can see it in the distance! It's kind of romantic and sweet! However, there is another Noah's in Lindon and the rent for the room is half as much and it only holds 30 less people. Decisions. Not one of my strong suits.

Oh I did buy cute little outfits for the nephews for the wedding. I should put some pictures up of them. They are going to wear dark gray pants with a white shirt and a purple and black striped tie. They will look adorable!! The nieces and future niece are a different story. I either want a gray dress and they can wear a purple cardigan or vice versa. It's so fun to pick out stuff for the kids.

I had an awakening this last week because Jordan has a reminder to pay his rent that goes off on his computer. I told him this is the last rent check that he has to pay in that apartment! Then we will be paying the rent for our new place! Crazy!

People! It's only 78 days away!

Have a happy day.

Cookie Cutter wreaths

Last night my friend Michelle and I made some cookie cutter Christmas wreaths. I think they turned out pretty well. I will put some pictures of the finish product soon. We found the instructions on Good Housekeeping's website. We made a few modifications. Next on my craft to do list is this. Maybe I'll do both but maybe just a pumpkin or a Christmas tree. I think they are so cute!

Til my next craft adventure... Adios!
