Weekend Plans

Got off work at noon today because I have an OB/GYN appointment this afternoon. Lovely.

Then tonight, Ben and I are getting together with Sophia and Troy for dinner and fun.

Tomorrow morning, Sophia's mom, Andrea, is going to look at my wedding dress to check to see if she can make some minor alterations.

The rest of the weekend will be spent watching General Conference and chilling.

Right now I'm adding bridal shower pictures to Facebook from my bridal shower in Reno last Saturday. Check 'em out!

Wedding Invitations, Etc.

Oh, what would this blog be without wedding plans? I guess I'd fill it with stuff like I did before I met Ben and was engaged.

Our friend, Nate, designed our wedding invitations. Knock on wood, the designing process is done. I LOVE the way they turned out, and all the credit goes to Nate. Now, it's a matter of printing, stuffing envelopes, and mailing. Invitations should be sent out in less than two weeks.

Other than that, just doing minor wedding stuff here and there (guest sign-in books, honeymoon details, etc.). And we're looking forward to General Conference this weekend!

Yesterday's Activities and Free T-Shirt



Ben and I got back to SLC last night around 8:30 p. His parents picked us up, and we stopped by and picked up a pizza since we were at the airport/flying around dinnertime.

Yesterday, we did the following:

• Met with florist.
• Ate out at a fave Mexican restaurant.
• Met with the woman who is making our cake.
• Played with/said goodbye to my nephews.

It was great to be home, but wish we hadn't had been so busy. Oh, well--it was worth it.

Now it's back to the grind, and I just won a free t-shirt from Mail Chimp because I guess they hit one million users today, or something. Yay!

Super Saturday

Ben and I made it to Reno last night around 10:30 pm. Got to bed around midnight. Woke up at 6:30. Did a bunch of stuff today:

+courthouse for marriage license.
+bridal shower.
+fed ex office to ask about invitation stuff.
+met with a sister from my family's ward who is in charge of our wedding reception.
+engagement shoot with Kaylynne Kroshus.

I'm dead, and going to bed!

Reno-Bound!

Going home to Reno tonight (which is apparently America's 44th best city)!

Gotta take care of wedding business, but excited to spend time with my family, too!

Taking a Day Off (But Not Really)



A few days ago I realized that I would have to take a day off of work to get some things done that I wouldn't have time to do later. And that realization was fulfilled. I took today off, but I was still super busy doing the following:

• Editing names/addresses for invitations in spreadsheets.
• Going to the store to buy thank you cards.
• Writing, addressing, stamping, and mailing thank you cards to those who came to my bridal shower.
• Meeting up with my future mother-in-law to pick out jewelry to go with my engagement photos outfit and wedding dress.
• Going wedding shoe shopping with her.
• Organizing all the bridal shower gifts I got a week ago and transporting them to a room in Ben's house.
• Other wedding stuff.

Fun stuff!

Bridal Shower Pictures--Bountiful, Utah



I guess it's some tradition to put all bows/ribbons from gifts in the hair of the bride-to-be.

Future sister-in-law, Natalie.

Future mother-in-law, Jeannie. She hosted the shower.
