A Lot To Take In

So I thought you all might want to know what a busy and exciting day we had on Sunday. First off, Jonah was ordained an elder on Sunday by his dad. That was a really neat experience and I am glad that I was able to be there to share it with him...I was also glad that I got to meet his good friend Mark. Mark was able to come join in the circle at his ordaining. Mark has been a big help to Jonah and has been there for him whenever he has had questions. From what I can tell, he is an extremely nice guy and I can't wait to get to know him better and thank him for the help that he has given to Jonah...
And as for me, I got my temple recommend on Sunday! It was very exciting. I had to wait an hour to do it though but it was worth it. Jonah should be getting his this weekend.

The wedding is only 9 days away! Wow! I have so many mixed feelings at this point. Im nervous, excited!, happy, and kind of scared all at the same time...There is a lot to take in on this day, but there is no one else that I want to walk through it with. Jonah is a great man and I can't wait to start my life with him together as a family.

I am excited how all the wedding plans are coming together. The wedding is going to be very nice and I am so grateful for my family and friends that have been helping me the most. Thanks to my mom for getting all the decorations and food, my sister TaMerra for all the showers she has thrown and all the advice she has given me. My sister in law, Alisa, for all her help with the invitations, music and helping out where ever she is needed.And Tracy for all her help with my bridals and making sure everything was perfect. I really appreciate all of you. And a big thanks to all my friends. They have been there to support me in all of this. It really means a lotto me to know that my friends are so happy for me

Bridals

So here are some pictures from by Bridal photo shoot with Josh Dye. These were taken at the capital building in Salt Lake and Memory Grove which is right across the street. I had a lot of fun with the pictures. It was really hot though. Not to mention that I forgot to eat that morning. So sad to say we stopped the shoot cause I was about to pass out.... But once I got some food and cold air blowing on me I was fine... Sorry that it has taken me so long to post something new. As you can imagine I have been keeping pretty busy... And I hope to get the Bear lake pictures posted soon as well. But let me know what you think of these. There are about a hundred more. Sorry I can't put them all on here.

Real Estate

So Jonah has been working very hard to get his real estate business going. He has not sold a house yet, but he is doing well for having just started. He has 3 listing leads, and two buyers. He is learning a lot of things that he will need to know in the future. It seems like an overload sometimes for him, but he is loving it. He is so happy that he decided to make the switch from Prudential to Keller Williams. He loves the people he works with. He says they are all very nice and are willing to help him with whatever he needs. He always comes home and tells me about what he did that day. I don't ever really know what he is talking about, but it makes me happy to see him and how excited he gets about it.
As for my work. I got a raise! It wasn't a big one, but at this point every little bit helps. With it being the end of the month, things get a little crazy at work, with the billing, inventory control, closing jobs, and all the other month end stuff. I could definitely use a weekend away. And that is exactly what I get! We are going to Bear Lake this weekend!! And on top of that I don't have to work on Friday, so that makes it that much better!
Once we get back things are going to start rolling along. We only have 37 days left til the wedding! I can't believe how fast time has gone by. I have two bridal showers this month and my bridal pictures to get out of the way. I am excited for it all though.

I'm getting smarter!!

I think that I finally figured out how to get pictures on here! So I thought I would share some of my favorites with you. These are old but they are cute. The first one was taken on the day of our engagement. We had a lot of fun playing in the snow with Reign. And the most recent picture was taken at the Mayan on his birthday

Bridal Shower #1

So I had my first bridal shower, out of three, on Saturday. I had a lot of fun and got a lot of useful stuff. Jonah was also excited about all out new toys :) He was doing an open house during most of my shower. He came home to a house full of women! I am surprised he didn't turn around and run the other way. Lol. I am excited for my next two. I am having one up at Bear Lake with my whole family, and one is St George where all my friends are . So I am excited to see what those will bring.

Happy Birthday Jonah!

So things have been going well for us. Jonah is working really hard at real estate. He is doing a lot better than we thought so that is good. I am still working at Centaur Print Partners. This is a relaxing week at work cause the boss is out of town for the week! YAY!! Anyway, we went down the St. George this past weekend and had a lot of fun. We got some stuff done for the wedding, like fabrics, flowers, and the wedding breakfast. Jonah's parents also came down and it was fun to show them a little bit of where I come from. It was so nice to be able to see my family and spend time with them.
Now to get to the subject of this blog. Today is Jonah's 21st birthday!! I am so excited. I am taking him out to eat at the Mayan Adventure in Sandy, and then there is going to be a surprise party at his house when we get back. This is the first birthday he has had since we started dating so this being the first one is really exciting.

New

Ok so I am new to this whole thing. But I figured I would give it a try. So as of February 24th, 2008 Jonah and I are engaged. We are getting married on August 9th, 2008 in the St. George temple. We are both very excited to be taking this step in our lives together. Jonah is a real estate agent and is trying to get going in that. I am just working and I will hopefully get back into school soon. I would like to go to school of counseling or psychology. We have been keeping busy with wedding planning and just having fun with our loved ones.
