Bridal Shower

Today was my Bridal Shower and we had so much fun! Brandon's mom and Sister hosted it and did an amazing job. We played games, laughed, had cake and caramel apples. It couldn't have been any better. My mom asked a friend of hers to make my cake and it was gorgeous and Laney made these really cute caramel apples with tags that said "She is the apple of his eye". It was such an amazing day. Here are some pictures from today, thanks to Celeste Bernard.

1st RSVP

So today we got our first official RSVP by mail today. The response cards are addressed to my mom but she called me at work to let me know. I am so excited! Also, last night I took my dress to the lady who is going to bustle it for me. Everything is finally starting to come together and it is so nice! Hopefully we will be able to see the mock up of our cake so we can make any final changes. Only 49 more day left but I already feel this next month and a half are going to be the longest of my life.

Fun in the Sun .... sort of

Today Brandon and I took Bronx to Columbine park. We were hoping to enjoy the sun but by the time we made it there the sun had gone away and it was a little windy/rainy. Brandon was a little frustrated with Bronx. We just bought him a new "Easy Lead" that goes over his face (which Bronx hates). Bronx kept trying to run after other dogs or people and refused to listen to any of Brandon's commands. I just stayed back and laughed to myself. I thank God every day for the beginnings of our little family!

Let it snow, let it snow, let is snow....

Just when it was starting to feel like the warm weather was here to stay, it begins to snow. While I love the snow I am excited for warm weather and shorts and tank tops. It always seems to amaze me how people forget to drive in the snow. On my way to work this morning I saw 2 accidents and on the radio they were saying there are a ton more. Anyways.... Things have been going great since the last blog. The wedding is coming up soon. It feels like just a few months ago we were at Hanging Lake and Brandon was proposing. Time really does go by so fast. Not only are we getting married this year but Ashley and John are getting married as well in November. My freind Lindsay gets married in May, my cousin in August, Brandon's cousin in October and my other friend Desiree exactly one week after Brandon and me.

We met with David and Amanda last Monday and went over the order of the Ceremony. Everything is starting to become more real to me. I am really getting married! I feel a little stressed as time goes on. My mom and Ashley have been huge helps to me. Making sure I think of every little detail. I would be very lost without them.

Here are a few pictures from my nieces birthday!

So, I just got home from Florida on Sunday. It was so much fun. I have tons of pictures to post later. Now I am back, we begin the race to the wedding day. Everything seems to be moving so fast and there is never a moment to relax. It bothers me so much. I want to take in every moment and make "kodak" moments in my mind. Don't get me wrong. I love planing my wedding but it would be nice to be able to take in every moment of everyday leading up to the BIG day. I know when that day comes I will be so glad that I put so much time into every detail. I am also excited to anounce that Brandon's sister Ashley is officially engaged! Its so exciting. There are going to be so many weddings this year. Its crazy to look back and realize how much we have all grown up. We are no longer children or young adults. We are adults and soon we will be starting families of our own. That thought brings tears of joy to my eyes.

When I was in Florida, my mom took our family to Disney World. There were many moments when I had to hold back tears. Watching every child glow with joy. Their expressions were priceless as Mickey arrived to open the park. Seeing all of this made me want to start our family sooner than we had originally disscussed. Brandon does not agree with me and I understand. We both want to travel and we want to enjoy each other for a while before we beging our Yates Klan. I don't know. All the birth control makes my emotions a lot stronger than normal.

The First of Many......

This is the first of hopefully many blogs. I am new to this so bear with me. There has been so much going on lately I don't even know where to start. The wedding is coming up soon. Only 4 months from tomorrow. We still have so much to do. Who know that planning a wedding involves so much. Brandon has started working 1 day a week at the church and he is starting his licensing process. I am so proud of him! We are signing the lease on our new apartment on Feb. 26th. I am going to move in that weekend. It will be so nice to have a place that will be OURS. Well, I guess thats all for now.
