Pictures, Cake, and Flowers ... Oh My!

Since Wednesdays are my day off that is the day I try and squeeze in wedding to-do's (and by squeeze in I mean STUFF in).

Today started with a little sleep in (I had do it, it's my only day off!) So I rolled out of bed at 9:30 and went to pick up momma at 10. Off we went to my dress fitting. This was the first time mom has seen the dress with the sash, pin, and shoes and gosh did we get a little choked up.

After the fitting it was off to check out some invitations. We are getting them done at Pro Digital Photos on PG Main. P.S. I totally suggest them for pictures, announcements, invitations, etc. They have the cutest stuff for aweseome prices! Anyways, we looked at some styles of other invitations and got a few ideas of what we like.

We went to meet up with Cristi who's doing the cake. We came up with a gorgeous design which I think is going to look absolutely awesome. I called the temple and reserved the date and it's official. August 12th at 9:15am and Nick with be stuck with me forever-ever! :)

Mom and I sqoze in Roberts, Expedex, snowies, and even brought Nick lunch at work. We met up with my friend Shay at Timp Valley Floral at 2:00 and chose some gorgeous arrangements and such for the wedding. I am stinkin excited about those :)

Last stop of the day was at Beth's and we designed the invitations. They turned out ADORABLE thanks to Beth and the aweseome photographer and editor that she is. Got to hang out with her and the kiddos for a while, had dinner, and helped get the kids to bed. Beth and i finished the inserts and had time to spare to talk. She is such an aweseome example to me and I'm so lucky to have her as a friend.

All in all I would say this was a very productive day! The wedding is finally coming together and I'm getting more and more excited. August 12th sure is coming up quick!

Hot Happenings

This past week was alot of fun! Here's a quick list of the happenings :)

Monday: I got extensions! Oh baby! Oh baby! I mostly like the long hair. It's kinda a pain to take care of but I sure think it's kinda cute!

Tuesday: Nick and I went to my parents house for Dad's birthday dinner. Nick even took over the family BBQ for the night and cooked us up some amazing steaks!

Wednesday: Had the day off of work so I slept in then went to the pool with the lovely Shaylynn. It was finally warm enough to try out our new pool loungers. They're great!

Thursday: Nick went with some friends to Wendover so Shay and I decided we would have some fun of our own! We went to my new favorite restaurant called Pei Wei. Pretty much identical to PF Changers but a little easier on the wallett :) After that we went and saw Letters to Juliet which we both LOVED! Definietly suggest that one as a must see. We went and hung out in the hot tub for a little while then got us some ice cream and went back to her house to enjoy that and some Alice in Wonderland. Definietly didn't like it but meh, at least now I can say I've seen it. All in all it was a blast! P.S. I am getting old. I started yawning at like 10:00 but I fought through it and didn't go home till 1. Not a big deal for some but a huge feat for me :)

Friday: Nick and I both had the day off of work and we went furniture shopping! We bought a bed, dresser, mirror, and 2 nightstands. They're so stinkin gorgeous. It was such a fun experience to do that together and physically get some things ready for our future together.
