Here comes the Bride

Well, she did it! You may remember this post. Yesterday I got to see these 2 get married in the Salt Lake City Temple. It was a very beautiful ceremony & I was honored to be a part of it. Everyone was so excited. These 2 have been dating a few years now. A day that was long awaited. Here are a few pictures of the newest Bride & Groom.

This las picture is me looking down the steps of the Temple waiting for the group photo. Aids, wish you could have been right there with me! The only picture I failed to get was one of me & the beautiful bride. Dang!

Look whose getting married!

Look what I just got in the mail! I'm so excited for this girl! We've known each other for more than 8 years now. We've been through some of the craziest things a companionship could go through. She was one of my mission companions in Italy. She helped me find Old Navy jeans in the Ocean, we were thrown out of our Baptismal canidate's house the night before she was supposed to be baptized, & we climbed the steps to the top of the Vatican together. She's one cool girl. And she's marrying one cool guy. Congradulations to the both of them!

Sum it up Sunday

SadlyI've done it again. Poor little blog. All alone. Holidays really throw off the schedule, but that's the way we like it right?

Here's a bit of what we've been doing this week:

Here's a little something that I created for Aunt Runnie's YW in Excellence Program. The girls are making a recipe book & this is the cover. It didn't turn out the way invisioned it, but...sometimes you take what you can get in the way of creativity.
Thanksgiving dinner at Aunt CC's house. Here's the beautiful table set by her kids. Sadly, it took much MUCH longer to create this meal than to consume it. I suppose that's the story everyone has to tell.
This little girl is a bundle. You may recognize her from here & here. She's grown quite a bit I'd say. I was so happy when she & her parents dropped by for a visit. What a treat.
Visited this favorite friend & her fiance (yes, she is getting married...they have a date set & all) & watched the BYU game!!! We were so pleased (& a little nervous) watching our Cougars! But they came through once again. Ra-ra-ra, ra, ra-Go Cougars! Thanks for letting us hang out with you hf.

And I did a few of these last night & today. I'm all out of creativity so I decided to only do QuickPages that I found on Ikea Goddess. There seemed to be an abundance of them. They aren't my favorite when it comes to scrapbooking, but I try to use them ONLY to catch up on the old stuff. That's my rule...generally.

A little "US Postal Service Snack"

A few days ago, I got a special letter in the mail from this girl:
(Love this picture of her little bro. trying on his old scout uniform!)

And this is what I found in the letter: This may look a bit familiar. I guess when I posted this, it got Aidsy thinking back a few years to when we did the same thing sitting at a table overlooking the water in Seattle. I think the year was ...well, when was it? 2000? Good memories. Funny how much we guessed right & how WAY off we were in a lot of it. So I say, thank you Aidsy for sending me such a fun letter! Wish we could get HF to catch a glance of it. I know that she'd appreciate this choice picture of the 2 of us singing with those "dudes" on the street.
This one's my favorite of the 3 of us. It's not exactly the best looking, but boy it brings back some great memories. Love you girls!
