More wedding plans


Well, the wedding preparation just keeps coming. You would think we would get a break, but it never comes. Last weekend was about registries and setting up our wedding website. We got it all done over the next week, but it was quite the struggle. It is really hard doing anything for hours at a time. But those are done.

This last weekend was a lot more fun. Emily’s mom came down for Emily’s bridal shower. It was a fun experience. We got to work on invitations with her, and just enjoy her presence. It was also a help to the wedding planning, as it was much easier with her in the same place. The bridal shower was also fun (or so I hear, I was only at the very end, but that part was still fun!)

And that is what I have been up to. That is the short version, but I am exhausted and don’t think I can write coherently right now…

Preparing for a Wedding

Wow, these last two weeks have been pretty crazy. I never thought that I would be so busy. Wow, was I wrong. Not only do I need to get everything figured out between Emily and I, it also seems like everyone else wants a say too. It has sure been an adventure.

Still, amongst this Emily and I have been able to have a lot of fun! Two weeks ago we held a lab party. This was everybody that works in my research laboratory. We got together at my Uncle's house and made pizza together. It turned out really well. I had recently learned how to make pizza from a real pizza chef, and I wanted to try it out. Let me just say, it was the best pizza I have ever made, and some of the best I have eaten. The crust was just to die for.

Other fun things were that we set up two of our friends on a blind date. We made dinner together and then played "Wits and Wagers". It was really fun time, and a great way to spend our weekend. Emily and I were invited by our bishop to have more group dates, and we are certainly enjoying it so far!

The last fun thing recently was getting engagement pictures. We both got all dressed up and coordinated and headed out to Layton to take the pictures. It was a lot of fun! The photographer told us what to do every step of the way, and that is exactly what we wanted. He also had a really nice piece of land with a lot of good places to take picture. It will seem like we went to 4 or 5 places for pictures, but really it was all within maybe 5000 square feet. A lot of fun!

And that is where life leaves me now. Just trying to take care of all the little things before Emily and I are married. I hope everyone else is having a good (and less stressful time)!
