5 More Weeks!

5 weeks from today and we are headed to Jamaica!!! Only 5 1/2 weeks til I'm married!!! Wow! I can’t believe how time flies! It seems the closer the wedding is getting, the more things seem to ‘pop’ up that I need to take care of. All in all things are going well, though. Bryan’s ring finally arrived – and though it was beautiful/handsome……….. unfortunately it wasn’t the ring I had ordered…..hmmmm. So, they are supposed to be working on that and get me the right one next week hopefully – thankfully I still have some time so there’s no rush yet.


I also got my necklace today for the wedding and as soon as I tried it on, the clasp broke, grrrrrr. So, now that has to go back to be replaced – again, thankfully I still have time for that as well.


And my shoe broke today – it hasn’t quite been my week for things to be in working order I guess.


We’ve gotten our engagement pictures back and now are trying to narrow the 350 pictures down to 1-2 to be used for the invitations; which we should probably get around to doing sometime soon….


Brittany’s still enjoying gymnastics – Oh! And she’s getting baptized next weekend – the 1st of November!

So all in all, quite a bit going on around here!

Out with the Old, In with the New



So, we finally got all moved out of our house last weekend, and I’m glad we did the majority of it a couple weekends ago, as it was quite cold and rainy this past weekend; but we got it done. Whew! A big thanks to Tracy, Brady, Hannah, and Lacy – as well as Bryan and Brittany for all the help with getting me out of the house on time.


So, now we’re out at mom’s and can focus on everything else going on with us…like the wedding on the 1st of December, the open house on the 27th of December and finding a house for us to live in sometime between now and then.


It’s amazing how time flies, it seems like just the other day I was getting engaged and now I feel like I’m in a fast downhill slide into the wedding and quickly running out of time to get things done!


So, I was going to post pictures from building my house, but I can’t find any at the moment, I just have one, and then the pictures I took as we were leaving for the last time. It was a wonderful home for us, and a great big thanks to my brothers Bryan and Brent and also Daniele and Tracy for helping me become a home owner – You guys are the BEST and I couldn’t have done it without you guys!




Me, Bryan and Brent roofing the house - I think that was the hottest day of the year that year, I was so sore after roofing that! And, we were quite safe, with the ladder sitting on the back of Bryan's truck :-)



My kitchen, well, not anymore - it was my favorite room in the house, even though I hate to cook; I just love the way it turned out




Bryan and Brittany for one last picture next to their garden




And the Front of the house, one last time - it was slightly rainy that day

Whew! Almost Done!

What a crazy week! It's almost done though. I have one more day to finish moving out of my house and back to mom's :-).

And, we're moving in just as Lyndsey, Brett and little Bryan are moving out.

Other than that, there's not a whole lot going on with us right now. We're still finalizing plans on the wedding since it is all of sudden getting closer, and starting next week, we get to start house hunting! FINALLY, I get to be the buyer!!!
