Were Moving.....

Across town, we have been spoiled long enough living in kendalls gorgeous home. We will be moving into one of my boss's propertys, a 3bed/2.5bath townhome. Luckily I happen to be the propery manager of the subdivision, so we say what goes.Im excited about it becasue it has a 2 car garage, and stairs! I have always wanted stairs. There are some downsides, like the kitchen is isolated and it's not very good for entertaining, which after were married we will be doing a lot of, because once your married that's what you do. And our nightstands won't fit on both sides of the bed, so it won't look like a magazine anymore-i mean who doens't have 2 nightstands on both sides of the bed?? But we do have a door off the master to the backyard, and aaron will have to keep his clothes upstairs in the guest room because the closet isnt that big in the master. I will actually have to keep my shoes upstaris as well, they just don't make closet's bigenough these days for the modern girl :) But overall it's a cute townhome and cheap rent! Hopefully we will be buying a house in the next yr.

Engagment

So we did it! We got engagment photo's-just one step closer to actually getting married! We are so blessed we know 2 people who are willing to take out photos for FREE....Kendall and my boss krista. These photos were on a complete spur of the moment, I actually had a whole weekend off work!!! So Friday I told my boss this is pretty much the only day I can take photos-and luckily it worked for her too! She doesnt' have 2 little rug rats like kendall, so it will have to be carfefully planned when Kendall and I both have free time-but don't think we forgot about ya kendall! This was a very strange day in St. George-it was may and raining, besides the 2 hours we were taking photos :) Now, I can only imagine what an actual photographer would cost and am gald we ended up with these amazing shots at no cost! I think krista did a great job, so good I can't decide what one's to pick!! It's very weird seeing good pics of aaron and I, most our pictures are off my camera and pretty much suck! I'm so excited for the big day-what a wonderful week that will be (when it's over)

Forever Young Prom

Here is aaron in his Miami Vice suit lookin hot
Becky, Leah and Me lookin Hot. Love becky's face!
Trying to stick my butt out as far as I could
I had to take a pic of aaron's sandles. This would of been our prom pic, if we dated in the 80's.

So our friend scott had a "prom" theme party, and aaron and I decided to go early 80's/Miami Vice. To tell you the truth, I'm not sure what era my dress was, I guess it was just short :) We had a blast, and most girls thought my dress for reals...haha!! Aaron got these great sandles to go with his white suit-he was smokin!

Flower girls and Ring Bear

I have been looking for a while now for some baskets for the flower girls, and a pillow for the ring bear. I didn't plan on them matching, but while on Ebay today I ran across these and absolutley fell in love!! I think they are just gorgeous, and can't wait to see them in action.

And ofcourse the best part the darling dresses!! I just love them, I want for myself. I can't wait to see aaron's perfect nieces in them!! I am still deciding on a tux for the ring bear- Do i want ivory or black?? Either way little landon will be a stud.

More about last weekend..........

So i didn't get to finish bragging about my wonderful weekend back in seattle, so let me finish. So after pikes place we ran over to bellevue square to go see made of honor, it was sweet and very fitting for the weekend!! Then came saturday. Up at 8am to go cake testing at 9am at Mikes amazing cakes, evedentially this is pretty popular cake place-even featured on The food network :) So we got there and what a suprise for me-the cake i thought i wanted would end up being almost $1000!!!!! Turns out fondent is pretty expensive and they can make the cake out of buttercream just the same. So I added a tier, now 4 tiers, which will serve 146 and just get a sheet cake from costco to feed the rest. i decided on square, ivory buttercream with sage green deco, which is yet to be decided. I am still unsure of the green- I might just go with all ivory, so your suggestions will be appreciated.

After Cakes we headed to Michaels were I picked out a bunch of little goodies, like vases and books and darling little boxes to put candy it!!! And my dad stopped by to have lunch with us-what a treat to have both my parents there!!!

After we re-fueld at PCC ( an all natural market which I pray Utah will get one day ) we headed up to Blakley hall for my 1st time at seeing were I will become a Jasperson!!! It was a little different than what i pictured, but even better. I have to say this wedding is going to be quite the event :) I sure have a lot of changes to make to this place to make it up to par-but we can do it. After hours at blakley hall moving tables, measureing pictures and deciding where the cake table will go- my mom and I were off to Joanne fabrics! !Here we picked out fabrics to cover the ugly pictures on the wall, my mom made an amazing fake bouquet of what I think i want my real one to look like and some flowers to go on the arch we get married under!

By this time it was 7pm and we were exhausted! So we went off to home to get ready for the bridal shower the next day. I have to say I am so blessed to have such an amazing mom who cares about perfectionism as much, actually, more than I do. This bridal shower was gorgeous!! The food was amazing, the flowers were out of this world!!! And I had a great time and got wonderful gifts, It was the best time ever! I was so happy to see old friends, get new presents-a lot more than i expected i must say- and get a glimpse of what the wedding will be like!!

My mom made me wear this veil, i didn't look good in it. Then she wanted to wear it!

So manyt gift, so thankful!!

I have to praise mine as well............

Since we are not officially married, I can't call him my hubby, but since everyone else is talking about their husbands, I will talk about my Fiance. Since I have gotten home from seattle Aaron has been extremely helpful around the house. First off, when I got off the shuttle he was standing there with flowers and a balloon for missing my birthday. Then when i got home, he had kept the house in the exact way I left it.........even bed made, and bootsy happy!! Then when I get home from working or the gym, he has dinner in the oven and makes the bed-I'm so lucky!!! He even let me eat the pizza he got all for himself for dinner. Aaron also has been working esecially hard at his Job, trying to make the company more money in any way he can! It can be very stressful at times when he doesn't get 100% from all other employees, but he always has a good attitude. His goal is to not have me working in 5 years, I hope it happens! We are so excited to be married and start our family, bootsy needs some friends at home :)

What a weekend............

First off I have to say what an AMAZING mother and friends I/she has. I had the best weekend yet, and the wedding hasn't even happened! I have never been so busy, or got so frusterated shopping!! What forks, plates, colors, ribbons, vases, tableclothes, runners, candy, cake, tiers, dot's or stripes, AWWWWWW!! But, it was amazing!

My mom, amazing bestest friend Dana and me started the weekend on Friday heading to TJ's to grab some candles, then off to get a trial run of my hair, which is still in the works and I'm not very satisfied. Then to R&R party rentals to pick the chairs (blond wood), tableclothes (beige), Forks (simple), Plates (white square), Punch Fountain (amazing), and what to put in the middle-which almost killed me. Now keep in mind what you have in your head-is not always what is seen with your eyes. Once I put this very elegant table with centerpiece together and put a white chair up next to it-it looked like throw up. Thus the more expensive chairs come in. After the rental place looked like a tornado hit it, we were off to Pikes Place Market to look at fresh flowers!! After only seeing tons and tons of tulips, we decided to have some lunch over looking the water, you can't get better than that! I'm getting beckened to bed, so will have to write more tomorrow!
