On the 4th we went to the Bee's game and had amazing hotdogs and dippin dots. No one cared that the bees did terrible because we have so much fun just watching and eating and watching the fireworks after. Then, on the 5th we went boating with Ryan and Shayle and it was so fun. I felt like I was hit by a truck the next day because I fell hard a couple times. It was fun to see dal get up for the first time on the wake board. He's on the right waving lol
This was us at the Bee's game. Jake and Josie had festive outfits of course. I saw Karlie ( the new miss utah) at the game and we chatted a little. I honestly do not envy her job at all hahaha Rewarding, but hard.
My kids are so dang cute. We got a shaved ice at this place with palm trees that misted you. And they gave me the "wedding cake" flavor. It was really good! Looooved my festive nails that kid did for the 4th. We're getting farther on the house! We are done with sheetrock, and now we're almost done with mudding and sanding. Next we paint! (we were sheet rocking on the 4th, so it looks much different now)
I went to a job interview for an office assistant and-long story short- got the job and ended up turning it down. They were looking for someone permanent and I would have to quit to do my student teaching in the fall. This was before the interview. I love the lula roe skirts that Aubrey sold me. They're professional looking but still very comfortable. Perfect for when I start teaching.
We had a bridal shower last saturday but I don't have the pictures from it yet. This was sent by my awesome miss utah hostess lea ann. She's hilarious! She's got me all set up to become a bartender! :)
Everyone has been so generous for us lately and I am so so grateful. Can't wait to get the shower pictures up in a few weeks.
Soooo....this happened. Poor kids got shaved. We're hoping it grows back a little before the wedding so they don't look so naked. The groomer said that they were both really well-behaved and she tried to keep it as long as possible. We haven't been brushing regularly so they got a little shorter cuts than we wanted.
I got my wedding shoes from forever young! I also got my shoes for the shower as well. You'll see those when I get those pics up. But anyway I'm trying to decide if I should have the flowers on them or not. They're gold with a little bling, and the flowers are really light pink. (all wedding colors). Still deciding....
This is Jakey looking dapper in his brand new wedding tux! He's all ready for the big day! Josie's dress needs a few alterations, but then she'll be ready too! woohoo! (so freakin' cute, I know. My kids should be models for the dog food bags or something.)
This is a front and back picture of the wedding ceremony programs. I am so glad I finally got that off my list of things to do. I kept going back and forth on the design, and then it would time out on my computer and I'd lose everything I typed. So now I have them ordered and me and the bridesmaids will glue sticks on the back so that they can use them as fans. (that's why there's a gap in the middle)
This is my awesome "Bride" hoodie that my future mother-in-law gave me! She's awesome. and I definitely wear this as much as possible hahaha
I was gone for a long time and Josie was literally hugging me hahaha it was so precious. They miss me when I am gone for longer than 4 hours or so. The fall will definitely be an adjustment for them. (Don't look at the piles behind. Since the house isn't done yet I have my stuff around stacked everywhere lol)
We got the wedding invitations! I love how they turned out! Holy cow though, this is the one part about it that completely sucks. I hate the addressing and stamping. This is the front.
This is me sending out the first bunch that we got done. It's been a long process, so I'm so happy that they're all almost sent out.
Me and my mom both got dresses shipped to us today! This is my mom's dress for the wedding. All the moms are wearing champagne. It looks really good!
This is my dress that I'm going to wear when we leave the reception at the send off. I had to hold it up because it was too big. But I like it a lot! I can reuse it for halloween and be Marilyn Monroe!
My step mom is so sweet and funny and creative. She makes everyone quilts for big life events, so she is making us one for the wedding and she made both the dogs a mini quilt that matches! With their names embroidered on them! Sooo cute!!! :) This is Jake snuggling his.
This is Josie with Jake's quilt. She hasn't gotten hers yet. This is the back of his, and on hers it will be pink and red (more feminine for her lol) She's jealous she doesn't have one yet hahaha
The stress has been a little high now days. I have a lot of tests and long papers and presentations for school and then the wedding and house stuff. We are working on getting a videographer still. Still training at velocity and yesterday I dropped a bar on my shin. But today I beat my 300 yard shuttle time, and I haven't done that since 2 weeks before Miss Utah! I was also proud that I still hold the record there for the "Cindy" crossfit workout.
Anyway, I should be studying. I also have to email the DJ and photographer.
I need to stop with the whole stress thing. I've had 3 cold sores, 1 canker sore, and 24 zits in the last week because of it. hahah not pretty.
1 month from today I get married!!! :) The end is in sight!
