Random Wedding Chat

I really thought I'd post more often while I was engaged. I don't know why I thought that, like I'm going to have all this extra time or anything! :) I think I just figured I'd have so much more exciting things to say! So first off thanks to eveyone who voted for us in the photo contest, I appreciate it. We ended up winning third place and getting a dinner gift certificate and movie tickets. :) We've also decided on our Open House in Idaho Falls. It will be on June 11th from 7-9pm. And here's the awesome part... we'll be having it at the Idaho Falls airport in and airplane hangar! My dad has a friend that is going to let us do it there in his new beautiful building. It's perfect cause the walls are all silver and the floor is pretty white and they have red in there too. oh! our colors are red and silver by the way. So yeah, I know you will get an annoucement, but here's the info kind of as a save the date! And our recpetion in Salt lake will be at the Rice-Eccles Stadium Tower in their scholarship room. (also decorated in red and silver). There will be a ring ceremony with us and the bridal party walking down the aisle and stuff that you are all welcome to attend before the reception. We are getting so excited and I'm continuing to cut the links off one by one off the wedding countdown chain that Glenn made me. today marks 48 days. Geez! It has gone by so fast. I did my bridal photos last weekend in Idaho Falls and they were so fun. It's a nice relief to have the wedding outfit all finished and accessorized! Jessica's mom made my wedding dress... and it's perfect for me. :) She's so good at making them I just took her pictures and sometimes just ideas and she turned it into a dress, that I love. I also had a bridal shower this week with my friends from folk dance and it was really fun. At the beginning of the party they started with a game and they said you can't say "Glenn" or "husband" or "finace".... At that moment I just thought... "THIS is MY bridal shower!!! AHHHHH!!!!" It sounds funny but it was just another moment that made it all more real. This is it folks, after all those years of waiting, and as my parents like to remind me, "all those years you were just NEVER going on dates and NO ONE was asking you out..." ha ha. Also, I'm getting so excited for our house. Glenn owns a house in Daybreak in South Jordan so I'll be moving there. But I can't tell you how excited I am to have a HOUSE and not one time room, for all my tons of stuff. And I finally fulfilled a dream of mine... I got a hammock!! I found a good deal on one and for the first time in my life I knew exactly what I would do with it. Put it in OUR backyard, and enjoy it all summer long, with my cute new husband. Am I crazy? maybe, but I am SO excited for that hammock. Speaking of buying the hammock, I've also been researching things for the wedding and buying a lot of stuff online (cause I don't have time to run all over town to different stores) anyway, my roommates are always teasing me now about getting all sorts of things in a mail, a package everyday, and my "obsession with internet purchasing". And it maybe true, I might have an obsession of internet purchasing. But it's just so awesome!
