the countdown is here!

i am really excited! i am merely 9 days away from being sealed to the love of my existence. this Saturday, i am receiving my endowments at the Draper temple. i am looking forward to so many things right now!

i had my bridal shower last Saturday with my friends and family and it was a great turnout. mindy and michelle and brad spent time making sure that everything was perfect, and i appreciate all the great things they did to make everyone enjoy the shower! also, my family gave me some awesome presents. my friends gave me some unmentionables, but nonetheless thank you to everyone who could make it! it truly made me feel so thankful to have great friends and family who support me and Graydon.



it was also fun to hang out with alison, dani and ashley on tuesday night. dani picked me up and we drove down to provo to hang out and have a mini girls' night. i really appreciated having great conversation and dinner. lots of things change, but it was so great to still feel the sincerity of friendship (aw)

i am kind of in a panic with small things. health insurance is a pain. finding wedding favors is kind of obnoxious. i feel like wedding planning doesn't fit my personality very well. i am very indifferent and indecisive. it took me forever to decide on wedding colors. now that i have them, i am still not sure that everything will neatly fit into the category of pink and green. nevertheless, i am very much looking forward to the luncheon and reception that our parents have prepared for us.



truly, i am so excited to just marry Graydon. yesterday, we began moving things around in our new little bedroom. it took a lot of cleaning and rearranging but it was fun to just lie on the bed and laugh about our day. i imagine we'll have many nights of talking and laughing, and i am so grateful that he is my best friend.

i also received some online proofs of my bridal pictures! i really wish that Graydon could've been in my pictures, but work is always getting in the way of our fun. Heather George did a great job with the pictures! i love how natural and candid her photos are. she does very classy and flattering pictures and i would highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a wedding photographer.



other than that, things are pretty simple. i love this weather and i am so excited for our honeymoon in park city And belize! now...if only i had my passport...
