LESS THAN 30 DAYS!!!!

So we hit the 30 day mark and past it! I'm so excited to be married to my best friend for time and all eternity and can't wait for it to start!

So I had the best bridal shower every! So many people that I love came and Ashley was the best host! Man she wouldn't let me help at all!! She made an amazing Cake and we played fun games and it was just a blast! It is really exciting to be getting married I hope the excitement lasts a long time. For all of you who read these posts what advice would you give to keep everything exciting, new or peaceful?? =) I'm curious about advice though the ages of marriage.

Update on life:
Wedding plans are going well, working at Valdez City Pool is going well, and babysitting the Peterson kids is sooooo much fun!!! It's like my favorite thing to do ever! I love that one of the boys says quee instead of Tree, it is sooo cute!!!

Story time:
I love working with youth, they are so fun and energetic and excited, sound familiar? Anyway, the other day at the pool a little boy was sitting on the side crying, and it seemed like a real fake cry, so I told him, "You have 2 choices, you can either go sit on the bench and freeze and stop crying, or you can stop crying and go have fun." He said "OK I will stop crying" and immediately stopped. It's amazing what the body can do once the mind is made up.

So I was at a friends house and her 3 year old sister and I were looking at wedding magazines and she kept pointing out the most expensive elaborate diamonds, dresses, cakes and jewelry and I thought it was so funny, what a pretty princess, the poor guy whom she will marry....Well I went home and told my parents how funny and cute it was and my mom said "You know who else use to point at the most expensive elaborate things like that?" my response was a gasp and a "Nooooo! ME???" "Yes you", she said. So for that little princess and way future prince....there is hope.

Planning

Well the wedding plans are going well. I thought we were ahead for a bit but now we are a little behind. It always seems like there is something else to do but day by day as it gets closer I think "YIKES better get going!" and do a bunch at once then do other things and the cycle continues. Its been really fun though I never thought I would say that.

I thought planning a wedding had to be stressful and horrible but its not that bad and I'm actually enjoying picking out what I like or what we like =).... It was not so fun at first because I saw everything that had to be done and thought it had to be done RIGHT NOW. But thankfully that is not true at all. It's fun to set out a list of little things to do each day and then it all comes together. Love it.

It's also amazing to me how many people are willing to help and come out of the wood work with amazing talents. For instance one of my mom's friends LOVES to cook, who knew! and she is helping us with cooking all the food! Thank You Laurie!! Same with Flowers, cakes, heming dresses, incredible the talents people have! If you need to know how to camp, lead a group of youngsers into the wilderness, teach swim lessons, work with a troubled teen, run a game or activity or rapel off of something high you can call me. The other stuff I will leave to the people who know what they are doing and like it when it comes to weddings.

Life is good.
