Bridal Shower

My bridal shower was Friday the 13th! (Horrible I know... I didn't realize that until after we'd decided.) But it turned out to be pretty lucky after all... for me anyway. It was thrown by my cousin Katie at her house in Lehi, which is adorable by the way, and my Aunt Nancy who contributed the delicious crepes we had afterward. I missed a few people (namely, my besties, who live in other states; Jayci, who lives 1/2 way across the world and yet still in the same country; Kristen, who lives hours away and still too far; Maggie, I don't know what her excuse is, and my roommates from last semester who apparently don't love me that much!) BUT I was excited that everyone who was there got to be there. Zach's mom was in town for one night which is why we planned it for then, so that was great that she got to be a part of it, and sort of meet my family. My two pretty sisters-in-law were there too. My grandma came with her off-the-wall comments about my lingerie, as well as two of my best friends Adrianne and Alysa, our good family friend Marv, and my cousins Katie Katie Hillary and Amy. We played a game about wedding traditions in different cultures and then one with pictures of me in which they had to guess what year the picture was taken. I thought it might be weird to have so many different relationships in one room but it was great for everybody to meet each other and for me to be able to spend time with all of them, really fun.

In the beginning

Let me just say, I was COMPLETELY conned into this, and its all your fault! (Because the only people who are reading this are the ones who wanted me to have it.) There is my little disclaimer. I am still convinced I have nothing interesting or of value to say about my life... but here we are anyway, so I'll try to make it cool.

It was one, AM on, a sat-ur-day...

I am up because Saturdays I don't get off work until 11:30 PM (ah, the glamorous life of an Apx Alarm data entr-ist!) And I almost feel like I'm too excited to sleep (almost). Zach is coming to town tomorrow for a MUCH NEEDED visit... as if engagements in general weren't bad enough, he is never here! I think we've both been ripping our hair out, and each other's heads off. I'm so excited, I told him this is better than Christmas. And on Monday we are taking our engagement pictures which I am looking forward to! If they don't turn out good I think I'll be basically devastated. It doesn't help we both had hair disasters last week. His got butchered, and mine turned red. 3 bleach treatments later and the red is almost out, but not quite, so we may resort to B/W pictures... and let's just hope Zach's hair grows fast.
