Weekend

Over the weekend I had a bridal shower which was a great success, on Saturday night Bryan and I took a drive and then when we got home we watched 50 First Dates, it was a lot of fun. On Sunday Bry and I made waffles with our new waffle maker, it was so much fun! We went to church at his Singles Ward, and then we came home and took my truck up Bountiful canyon and looked at all the leaves and watched the sunset, we drove around talking and looking at the beautiful leaves ( we both LOVE autumn), we talked about how excited we are that fall is here, and alll the fun upcoming holidays and tried to think of something to do for Halloween, (we already have our costumes planned.) It was a really great Sunday.

Autumn, at last!

Last Weekend

On Thursday Bry and I went to Temple Square, it was really great, except we got there kind of late, so we didn't get to go in to buildings, so I think this weekend we are going to go back so that I can have an educational experience, on Saturday I had a bridal shower, thank you so much to everyone who came, and thank you Skyler, Marsha, Cheryl, and Mom for all of your help; everything is greatly appriciated. Exactly one month until the wedding and I am so excited!! We have the cutest little apartment, and we (or I) cant wait to get it all decorated. On Saturday I have a family bridal shower, and the next week we are having a couples shower with Bryans family. We made our first meal in our new crockpot yesterday, we had 2 chicken breasts in the freezer, and some potatoes and some cream of chicken soup in the pantry, so we put the chicken breasts in, cut up the potoatoes, and poured the soup in, we put it on low, and then ate it when we both got home from work at 7pm; it was quite delicious. Right now I think I have the flu, this Friday we are hoping to have a campfire with some of our friends (we have campfires A LOT,) we really enjoy having campfires. Last Saturday we had a campfire and took a ride on his dirtbike up Bountiful canyon, I love riding on his dirtbike! I hope I can feel better so that Bry and I can have a wonderful weekend.

Happenings in the new apartment

On August 27th Bry and I moved into our new apartment, some people would call it more of a town house because it has an unfinished basement, which is an amazing blessing. My dad and his dad and Bry and our friend John all moved the furniture in, we have a leather couch and love seat (wedding present from g&g) and really nice bedroom set (also wedding present) a kitchen table from his parents, the only thing we bought was a coffee table and end tables from Ikea for $50, what a deal! We were both so tired from moving and unpacking, we sat down in our new kitchen and ate dinner, during dinner a lady knocked on our door who lives in our complex and asked if we wanted her to turn our sprinklers on, we said yes, we decided to reward ourselves and get icecream, Bryan gives me a weird look and asked if I had just been in the bathroom, "no," I said; he starts looking around and then he runs down the stairs to find water shooting from the concrete wall in the basement by all of the pipes; luckily there was a drain right there so the water was draining into that drain and not flooding the basement. Bry runs upstairs and grabs his phone to call our landlord, (meanwhile I am covering this hole in the wall, with my fingers) our landlord comes over and while he was down there the water stopped. Outside our neighbor was turning our sprinklers off, the water was running down the foundation and leaking into our basement. Bryan got some seal stuff and sealed it, then a  plumber came and fixed it for us. What a great day to welcome us into our new home, and we did end up getting blizzards from dairyqueen.

Bryan has an ulcer, and he has been getting super sick, most nights he gets really lightheaded and starts acting super weird. On Tuesday morning he woke up doing the same thing, and the night before he fell on the living room floor, I was so scared, he has been refusing to go to the doctor. On Tuesday morning I put my foot down, made him call into work, and drove him to an insta-care, they ran some blood tests which were all normal, and did a blood pressure test to check his equilibrium, all normal. This doctor seemed to think he is getting bad headaches because he is dehydrated from his ulcer, and he put him on a different medication for his ulcer. We had a sick day on Tuesday and watched movies all day. He is starting to feel better.

We are both so weddinged out, we are ready for October 20th to get here, and we can stop planning and just be married. We know we will both enjoy October 20th, we just want it to get here so we can be married. We are going to stay in a cute little bed and breakfast called Johnson Mill, located in Midway; this place looks beautiful from the pictures. We aren't taking a "regular" honeymoon right now because of Bryans job, he just started and he doesn't have enough paid time off acquired to take a long honeymoon. Bryan and I would love to go to Europe, so we would like to save our money and in a couple of summers take a long "honeymoon" to Europe.

Last Saturday Bryan and I were so sick of staying in the apartment and we wanted to do something fun, so we took a random camping trip up Bountiful Canyon and we slept in the bed of his truck and a talked all night long, we woke up and made a fire and cooked smores for breakfast. We sat in the bed of his truck talking and decided to take a drive up to Park City, so we came to the apartment and threw all of the stuff in the basement, and changed our clothes, and walked along Main Street in Park City. They were having some sort of festival or something, we ate some street Thai food for lunch, which was delicious.

Tonight Bryan and I are going on a date to Temple Square, I have not been to Temple Square since I was baptised, and I think I only went once before when I started my investigation when Bry took me to see the Joseph Smith movie. After Temple Square we are going to get ice cream! Tomorrow, we are going to have a campfire with some friends, and then on Saturday I have my first bridal shower, yay!!!
