Last Stretch

Sorry, I currently have no pictures to post because it's been a flipin mad house these last few weeks.

Our first reception is coming up and I am eternally grateful to those who have helped me pull this thing together! I seriously could not have done it with out the help of my beautiful co-workers like Ann who made my dress so exceptionally and spent 50 hours of her own time putting it together for me, it seriously is the most beautiful thing I've ever owned and I will never forget her for doing that for me. My future sister-in-law Kirsten who even though her own life is complicated and busy, had the time to not only co-plan my bridal shower with our good friend Sara Mann but also to make sure things were planned for the open house and found a beautiful place to hold it as opposed to Andrew's bachelor pad, which is where we originally planned to have the party. My dear sweet future husband Andrew, who paid a large chunk of money to get me moved in early to our house so I didn't have to stress about living with crazies.

I'm thankful for teachers who can read my emotions and know I'm about to freak out and help me/do the most difficult final project designs I've ever had to put together. Phil Ahyou is probably one of the best professors I have ever had and will always have the highest respect for him, even though he can be a bit moody he's a good man, a good dad, and a good husband... and I appreciate good husbands, good teachers, and good people.

School has not been easy this semester, though I'm sure I wont do badly I haven't exactly dealt with the stress with finesse. There have been many freak outs in front of peers, teachers, dumpsters, and Andrew. All of them have been pretty supportive, even the dumpster.

I have so much help with this wedding, I have been blessed and seen the Lord's hand in this journey. Andrew and I have worked hard for this, and we deserve to be with each other for eternity. Andrew goes through the Temple tonight for the first time and I am so excited to be with him. I feel like this is what we've been working for the whole time, the temple is so important to me and I wouldn't marry him if he couldn't take me to the temple and vise versa. I'm in awe I get to marry my best pal. I'm excited to continue to learn about the gospel and have someone who values the same things I do. We are excited to start a family when the time is right and we talk often about being parents and having a good life for our children, we are also well aware of the different backgrounds each of us have and I like to think our kids will be quirky, smart, crafty, fun, goofy, honest, obvious, loud, funny and a million other things I don't really feel like listing :)

We have 1 week until we head out for CA, and 12 days until we get to be married, and be lazy.

OH TO BE LAZY!!!!
