It finally happened!

Well, I am married! The wedding turned out beautiful. Everything went smoothly. Getting ready for the wedding, we were all pretty relaxed about it. My bridesmaids came upstairs and found me kicked back on a rocking chair just reading my book. I wasn't around the rest of the house once my hair was done, so I didn't really know what it was like, but all the comments were about how surprise everyone was at how relaxed everything was and how it was hectic and stressed.

Grant and I went to the Anniversary Inn down in SLC for the weekend. We went out to grab lunch and went to Temple Square. The only problem was, both of us forgot casual shoes, so I was wearing jeans and a t shirt with my heels, and Grant was in a t shirt, jeans, and his shiny, black shoes that came with his tux. My feet were on fire when we reached temple square. I could feel the blisters starting. We opted to stay in the hotel for dinner. Another thing about the hotel is we discovered the existence of ninja maids. I heard them talking. Their supply closet was right outside our door. However, we never saw them. They would knock on our door when they delivered our breakfast, but when Grant opened the door, they were nowhere. He even ran to the door on the second morning and looked both ways down the hall, and there was still no sign of them.

Upon arriving back to everyday life on Monday, we realized that we had a lot to do. We opened all of our present, but since we are staying with his parents for a while, we won't be using a lot of them until we move out, so we need to figure out where to store all of those. We also need to finish getting me unpacked, but we both lose motivation very quickly to get much done. We at least cleaned the room so we could move around. When I moved all my stuff over on Saturday, we just threw everything in there as quickly as possible so we could help get ready for the wedding. But that's clean now. I've been still looking for a job, so I've been in charge of cleaning while Grant is at work. I definitely need to improve some hahaha! And I guess Grant's mom is going to set up a cooking chart where we'll be taking turns making dinner. Honestly, I'm not looking forward to that. I don't really like cooking, and I'm not all that good at it. But while we're staying here, we need to help out with anything they need since they're not charging us any rent.

I'm getting married soon!!!!!

There are only 5 days left until I am married to the most wonderful man in the world! I can count them on 1 hand. Oh my goodness! I'm excited! So far things have been going mostly smooth with our plans. We have our marriage license, most of my stuff is getting unpacked into Grant's room, we're getting the decorations all together, etc. However, we have had our troubles. My bridesmaids have been having troubles fitting in their dresses. One had to go buy a new dress because she can't fit at all, so we're going to try to use her dress to fit the other one that is having the most troubles. I am hoping and praying that everything will work out. Hopefully, Grant and his groomsmen don't have this much trouble. But I guess it could be worse.

I have had 2 wonderful bridal showers. One was given by my sister on the day after I moved back to Utah, and the other one was given by 2 of Grant's aunts. I had a lot of fun at both. At the first one, I got to see some good friends. At the second, I got to know Grant's family better and have fun with them. Last Saturday, my bridesmaids threw a bachelorette party for me. It was kind of awkward in some ways, really embarrassing in a lot of ways, but it was really fun overall. And don't worry, there was no alcohol or strippers...thank goodness hahaha!

So far I have been doing a ton of job hunting. I keep getting called in for interviews, but so far no luck. I just had an interview today, and if they want to hire me, I would start on Wednesday. That would be kinda crazy, but I could do that if I had to.

The craziest thing of all the things going on is I'M GETTING MARRIED ON SATURDAY!!!! Holy cow! That'll be weird. Hahaha! 5 days until my entire life changes. I can't wait...though I'm trying to be as patient as possible.

Plans are underway...This thing is actually happening!!!

I've been visiting Utah this week. I've been using it to get as much done for the wedding as possible. Grant and I sat down with his parents Sunday night and figured out everything we need to get done and who is going to be in charge of paying for what. Thankfully, Grant has been saving money from every paycheck for the past little while, so we have some money to work with. We're in charge of invitations and decorations. Grant's parents are going to try to take care of the rest. Monday, we set to work on our assignments. Grant has a guy at work who is willing to design our invitations, and he found a place where we could print 500 invitations for about $80. Meagan helped us go through our engagement pictures. We narrowed it down from 409 to 17. She also went through and edited them all that same night. She is amazing at what she does. If you would like to see those go to her blog, Alta Photography. She's also doing my bridal pictures, and she's making all my bridesmaids dresses. I sometimes think my sister has some secret super power of amazingness that she's not telling me about hahaha!

I'm super excited at how this is actually coming together. We've been talking about our wedding for quite a while, and I've slowly been planning along the way, but I feel like it's actually happening now. Things are actually underway and getting done. August won't come soon enough, but at the same time it'll come too fast hahaha! But I'm sure we'll get everything done in time.
