Blog... What Blog?

Being engaged is exhausting, especially when working full time, and having school non stop. We are getting by with the lovely help of our friends and family! We have been engaged since the end of January and I feel as though it has just flown by. The big day is in two weeks! Un-FREAKIN-Real! I can't wait though!

*No more living alone
*Honeymoon
*Spend the rest of my life with my best friend
*Being apart of his incredible family

Couldn't ask for anything else. The next couple weeks are going to be awesome. Tonight I have a bachelorette shower (yes, we made it up) All the girls are getting together for a wonderful evening away from the men to enjoy just the simple company of one another. Tomorrow family bridal shower. Thursday I take out my endowments. Go to vegas next weekend with the girls for one last hoorah! Married the next week. Dominican Republic the next! The only downfall is we are both in school this summer, but we are motivated to get done so we do what we need to.

Here are some of our engagements

Christmas Vacation in Cali

Sooooo.... its been awhile i have been super busy with just a looooot.
The week before christmas we decided to pay my mother a little visit in cali. We drove down thursday and came back monday. It was a short trip, but was so pleasant! We left at about 6 from salt lake and arrive in LA at 3:00am. Friday, slept in of course and woke up to a delicious meal made from my mom. She is so fantastic with breakfast, mmmmmmmmm! Then we did a little beach shopping and walked around town, we went to captain kidds had some delicious crab (so fresh.) If you havent been there, go!
In Redondo beach area their little town every year for christmas i guess decorates like crazy. I mean every tree was done up, almost ever house participated and plus these people dont just do lights they have crafted and done some impressive wood work to keep their audiences entertained. So after we had a delightful meal around the table we put on a sweatshirt and walked up and down the streets to see all the different decorations. Oh and to top it off they sold churros, yep one of my favorite things in the whole world. Everyone had little things at their house from popcorn to hot cocoa (fyi it was like 60 degrees and these californians were all bundled up-jordan of course in shorts and flip flops)
The next morning we surprised jordan with disneyland (the poor kid has never been there and lets face it my mom was not about to let that pass by her) She treated everyone to disneyland. So FUN! Some memories that came from there include
-dawson buying one of those mickey ears tucking his shirt in, letting his belt flop out at the end, pulling his shorts up.
-trying on all sorts of hats and posing with them
-cutting through lines (yes me and jordan.. its official if this were a sport we would be unstoppable!)
-after every ride my mom would go to jordan with such an excitement and ask what did you think about that one! its great right! i mean like when...!
-trying to keep everyone together all the time was an absolute joke!
-paying 60.00 for lunch for 4 people
-at the end of the night due to the holidays they put on a firework show included with fake snow.. watching these peoples faces and reaching up to the sky in amazement ... so pathetic haha wish yo could have all experienced it.
-brock thinking that things in toon town were real. The weights jord is lifting up brock was pulling on it forever thinking it was real. hahah
Sunday we just spent the whole day together, celebrated christmas and brocks birthday, called it a day. Fun weekend! Miss those two already like crazy i.e. my mom and brock
