Today was a day for getting things done. I had a lot on my to do list and everything got checked off! That is a great feeling, although it is a bit tiring. Even Kevin and I had a quite a list of things to do when he got off work today. Here is our list of accomplishments:

***Call UVU about card and pick it up
***Organize and clean room
***Order parking permit
***Do laundry
***Update blog
***Finish mailing invitations

With Kevin:

***Get Marriage License
***Find a tuxedo to rent
***Purchase a wedding band
***Get a necklace
***Get a copy of our housing contract

As you can see we got quite a bit done and still had time to relax and watch a movie at the end.

A Midsummer Night's Dream

Kevin and I babysat for my uncle Chad a couple weeks ago so he offered to give us tickets to see A Midsummer Night's Dream at the outdoor theater at Sundance. So, last Friday night we went up there. The play, performed by UVU, was really good. After the play was over we were going to do the full moon chair lift ride but we were freezing so we decided not to. It was a great night though!

Shower

My neighbor Sandy Francom hosted a bridal shower for me tonight. So many people from my ward came and brought very generous gifts. Now I know why I had to clean out things... Thank you so much to everyone in the ward that came and for all the gifts! Thanks to Sandy for the wonderful pies and for hosting it!

I'm leaving on a jet plane...

well... Sharolee is! Sharolee got her mission call yesterday and she is going to the Baltic Mission Lithuanian speaking! Congrats to Sharolee! She will report to the MTC on November 19, 2008.

Wednesdays

Every Wednesday Kevin works at the temple late so I don't usually get to see him. So... I thought I would update our blog.

This past weekend we went down to Overton and had a wonderful time relaxing with Kevin's family. We watched the olympics, Kevin cleaned out his old room and we did a few wedding things. It was a really nice break.

The weekend before we went to a couple yard sales. We found that yard sale shopping is pretty fun, as long as it isn't too hot outside. We saw a lot of good deals, some of which probably weren't that great, but we did end up with a few things for our apartment. As pictured, we got a small set of drawers that will work as a nightstand and a chest of drawers which will most likely be repainted. The picture isn't that great as it was pretty dark outside. The small drawers do stand up by themselves, but the ground wasn't very even so I had to prop it up.

Another exciting purchase from the past week was a mattress. We looked quite a few places and found the best deal at Costco. The mattress is similar to a tempur pedic mattress or memory foam, but at an affordable price. We looked at it a couple times at Costco and each time someone walking by said, "We have that mattress. It is amazing! You will love it!" So, between that, good reviews online and a $100 discount we decided it would be a good investment. Now we just need a platform or box springs and a frame to go with it...

I worked for Janet (which, by the way Jewel Kade now has a blog, click to view) today and when I came home I went down to my room and to my surprise was a beautiful bouquet and a note from Kevin. Needless to say that brightened my day! I love you Kevin!

Wedding Announcement

Here is what our wedding announcement will be. Look for a real one in the mail in a few weeks!

So I thought it would be a good idea to start a blog for Kevin and I, so we did. We didn't come up with anything super exciting for the first post, so for now I'll just give an update on life, wedding plans, etc.

We will be married in the Mount Timpanogos Temple on September 13, 2008 at 10:00 am. Following the ceremony and pictures, we will have a family luncheon and then the reception (from 6-8) at the Bungalow in Pleasant Grove.

Lately we have been doing a lot to get ready for the wedding and life after. We have been looking for an apartment. This was quite a task but after lots of looking and waiting we finally have an apartment. It is at 876 N University Avenue in Provo so it will be really close for Kevin to go to school and work, and not too far for me either.

I thought I would put up some pictures from the beginning of our time together until now, so here they are!
