Greetings

Fellow readers. You like the new layout? It's still in the works so be patient.

Also.

I am aware that I have not blogged about my marriage which you are all dying to hear about.
Maybe my husband has been out of town making bank and I have been grumpy.

But he is home and school is just around the corner and wedding, honeymoon, and posts about our sunny life are coming soon. Get excited!

Happee Birthdae


to JULES!
(this post inspired and copy catted from her)
Jules Morrow is my cousin, roomie, bff, etc.

Find her lovely blog with her deep thoughts and life adventures here.
She has traveled deeper into her own soul than most people can ever hope for.

She turned 21 yesterday, August the tenth, two thousand and ten.

21 reasons why I love Jules:

1. We have been friends since birth. Literally.
2. She is wrapped up in her dream and living in California pursuing a music career.

3. She is actually one of the legits, and has one of the most amazing singing voices I have ever heard.

4. Not only that, she writes her own music, and is every bit a poet as she is a singer.

5. She has shampoo commercial hair.

6. She has one of THEE strongest testimonies I have ever ever seen.

7. She is overflowing with pure love for everyone. Even if she doesn't like them, she loves them.

8. She has battled an eating disorder for years and is coming out a conqueror.

9. She dances like an O.G.
10. She is constantly trying to better herself in every aspect of her life.

11. She always listens and never judges.

12. She has an amazing knack for making friends. Seriously. People. Love. Her.

13. She dances and sings without abandon on her special mountain whenever she feels so inclined.

14. She can carry on an intelligent, deep conversation AND laugh hysterically at Wipeout.

15. She is not afraid of who she is and embraces every aspect of herself whole heartedly.

16. She thinks she is The Coolest.
17. She will not hesitate to change and adapt her ways of thinking and her actions as her understanding of life, people and the gospel become more clear.

18. She loves the beach.

19. She is making things happen and trying out for American Idol. And making it into the top 5.

20. She wants nothing more than to be a mother.

21. I can honestly say that she is the most beautiful woman I have ever met, inside and out.
I love you Julesy!
I'm so happy you were birthed.

This Is...

Jeremy.
He is my brother.

And
he

has just left to go to college

in Virginia.
(that's far away)

He is following his dreams

and going to play football for Southern Virginia University.

He is one of the best men I know.
He can charm anyone with his smile.
Play the piano like no one I've ever heard.
Has one of the strongest testimonies.

And maybe I cried like a baby when he left.

I could not be more proud of him for taking this leap.

I love you J!

my apologies

world of bloggers.

You may have been thinking that I have dropped off the face of the earth.
And you would be right.

I am currently residing in a place called Wedding Land. Right past Engaged Lane and if you've hit Baby Boulevard you've gone too far. (way way too far)
It's totally awesome.
And kind of stressful.

And sometimes I get caught up in the little stressors and forget the big picture.
That I just need to chill out.
And be happy.
Because I am getting married to the love of my life.
And we are going to have the ultimate marriage.

Some things that have been accomplished since our last visit:

took my bridals
had two showers
wrote thank you notes
made and sent out invitations
picked out tables, chairs, sashes, flowers, centerpieces, napkins, food, etc. etc. etc.
planned the dinner
made the sign in book
designed the cake
stained the deck
planted flowers and more flowers
gone swimming and hiking and to the drive-in (not wedding related but important nonetheless)

Still to be done:

go through the temple :)
final fitting and picking up of the dress
one shower and one partay
finish wedding video
move in to the apartment
party at the dinner
party at the temple
party at the reception
party in mexico
party for the rest of time!

Picnic Lovin'


Last week we took charge of that one day of warm weather,

took a little scooter ride

and had ourselves a little picnic.
