2 Months to go...

2 more months.
OR
60 days.
OR
9 weekends.
until I {finally} get to marry Blake.


Crepes.

We have been saying that we would go to this place
Roll Up Crepes
for months now.
And it finally happened tonight.
Kinda a spur of the moment type of thing.
Blake got an Alfredo crepe.
I got a BBQ Pork crepe.
They were good.
Then a cinnamon roll crepe.
Called "Single."
Love date nights with my fiance.

Draw Something.

I got this new app to play with my sisters.
Draw Something.
It is a lot of fun.
But, basically I stink at it.
Can you guess what I was drawing?
It's a....Violin!
I know it isn't even close to it.
Like I said....I stink!!

Bridal Shower.

While at home, a wonderful friend, Diane,
threw me a great bridal shower.
Delicious food & treats.
Wonderful friends.
Adorable decorations.
And lots of gifts.
I feel so blessed to have had so many people attend.


SPARK!

I had gift certificates to a little lounge restaurant here in provo
called SPARK.
We went once last year and thought it was pretty good.
We were excited to be able to have a small date night during the week.
Especially after we found a place to live!!
Yesterday was a success!!

6th grade...all over again!

Yesterday I started my field work experience in a 6th grade classroom.
My partner and I were very excited, but slightly nervous.
We didn't quite know what to expect.
We had seen our students and met with our teacher beforehand,
and half of the students were our height.
I mean talk about scary!!
We were slightly intimidated because we don't want them
to just walk all over us.
But, seriously, yesterday went so great!!
Basically, the kids just love us.
The students are great!!
These 6th graders are friendly, smart, and fun.
We got so lucky!!
My partner and I are teaching our first lesson on Thursday.
We will be teaching about some of the important people of the Renaissance.
Wish us luck because we will need it.
Lets face it though....the students probably already know more than us!
haha....so sad!

I have to tell one story.
Today I was reading their short paragraphs that they wrote on:
If a mailman brought me a package, what would I want it to be?
Some of these kids got creative.
One of my favorites was about a girl who wrote about a package
that was on her doorstep. When she opened it, nothing was there.
So she made a wish and tried again.
"I wished for plan tickets to every country in the world (except for
North Korea, Afghanistan, and those kind of places). Then I
opened the box *Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah*
that was music in the background and I was moving in slow motion.
I opened it and there was nothing in the box.
This girl is seriously hilarious.
My partner and I were laughing so hard.

More funny stories to come...

I can hardly believe how fast time is starting to go.

OH! And Blake finally told me where we will be going on our honeymoon.....

Wedding Planning Madness...

Wedding Plan is in full effect for the next 8 days.
I fly home early tomorrow morning to start the craziness.
Way excited to go home and see my family.
But, sad to be leaving Blake (& my roommates).
Let's face it though....
I've got to leave to plan our wedding!
So excited.
Time to finalize all the details for the big day :)

Only 77 days until I marry my best friend!
