Casey's Family Reunion
I don't have a ton of time to write but I just got this picture, it's from Casey's family reunion. I went to Colorado at the end of July to go to Casey's family reunion (his mom's side) his parents got sealed in the temple, I met a ton of his family, we went shopping down town in this little resort kind of town were the reunion was at, and I had a really good time.

September YAY!!
So I haven't kept this up to date lately, I've been to busy with work and stuff. I am busy with wedding details and trying to figure stuff out cause a lot of stuff has changed. Here is my list of crazy changes...
1.) I couldn't find bridesmaid skirts to save my life, I had a bought the shirts awhile ago but couldn't find skirts. I was looking for a medium color khaki skirt, that went a little below the knee. I think I probably bought 6 or so ( all at different times mind you) and had to take all of them back because they didn't fit one bridesmaid or the other. Well TaDa I found some yesterday, they aren't khaki they are brown but it works, and I ended up with only two bridesmaids instead of three so I took the extra shirts back and they paid for most of the skirt. Yay! So one thing down thanks goodness.
2.) I had a very nice lady in my ward that was going to make me the lovely cake that was in my last post but he husband ended up having a stroke (his is still is the hospital but is doing fine) so she's not doing it anymore which I totally didn't expect her to. But one of her friends said she would help me with my cake so I pick three different cakes out and I'm going to show her them, and were gonna make the easiest most simple of the three. So I am appreciative that she is willing to help.
3.) Casey's family has booked their tickets and hotel rooms, and everything went great with that.
4.) I got my dress hemmed and altered and she even altered a different dress I had for free.
5.) I had my bridal shower on the 22nd it was so much fun! We played some games and there were like 17 people there so it was a good turn out. Then the girls from work threw me a bachelorette party the same night as my bridal shower and that was so much fun too! My sister Shandi threw the bridal shower and Phoebe and Megan from work threw the bachelorette party.
Now I just have a few other things left for the wedding my last day of work is tomorrow for this rotation and then I have 7 days off and will be working on wedding stuff and packing stuff I'm not using. I need to make some table runners, and do the flower arrangements, and get some of the other flower stuff done. I need to go look at some decorations that I am borrowing from a friend to see if it is what I want to use. So not anything big but just stuff that needs to get done. Everything is gonna be fine though, it is officially September, and I will be married in 25 days! It's crazy, but I can't wait. I will hopefully write again soon, and maybe post some pictures of the bridal shower or something. Love to all!

Wedding stuff.....
So I have been really busy with wedding stuff lately!! A lot of stuff has changed, I have had to reprint my invitations twice (that's a total of three times printing, and that is 1200 invitations.) We changed things each time, so it wasn't like I just wanted to do it for fun. I have been buying stuff for decorating the wedding and I just bought the plates and stuff like that. We are getting married September 26, in New Plymouth at the church there and then there will be a reception to follow. I have put in three pictures, the first is what my bouquet is going to look like (hopefully) I have bought all similar stuff but all of my flowers are fake so it might not look exactly the same.
This next picture is a collage that I did of some of our engagement pictures that my mom took I think they turned out really good!
This final picture is of the cake I'm going to have for the wedding. I think it is awesome. Casey and I wanted something different and this is what we came up with.
I will post more pictures later, I have some of my dress that I will post but I have to shrink them first and then post them and I can't do that on this computer. I hope all is well with all of you. I have been busy in and out of the state I went to Disneyland, and then I went to Colorado to Casey's family reunion. So I will write more about those later.

Friends...
Two posts in one day... I haven't done that in awhile. :) I just found out that one of my really good friends has a blog, and I read through the whole thing this morning and guess what? I'm in her blog, she is the friend that introduced Casey and I. She lives in Arizona with her husband Tyler and her son Brig who is almost 2. Here is a picutre of Elise and her super cute family.
Busy busy busy....
I just been busy with work and wedding stuff latley that I haven't had the time to write on here. I've also been busy traveling a little, like I said in my last post I went to my Uncle Clint and Aunt Connie's house for a week, then I have been to Grace, Idaho for my cousin home coming. He came back from his mission in Uraguay. This next week, my mom, Bo, and I are flying to Disneyland for the weekend. I have a really good friend that lives close to Disneyland so she's picking us up at the airport on friday and then were going to Disneyland on Saturday. I took Wendi two years ago in July and we had a good time, Bo is the only one that hasn't been (when he can remember I think we took him when he was two or something like that) but he raised his own money to pay for his plane ticket and I got a killer deal on park hopper tickets, so it should be a good vacation. And for those of you who don't know, my mom grew up around that part of California, and she hasn't been back in awhile, I going to see if we have some time on friday if we can go visit the Redlands temple, she's never seen it and I know that she would love to.
After that vacation, I work for about 4 days and have a few off and then work like 3 days and then I am off for Colorado. My work schedule has been all screwy cause one of the girls took vacation and no one could/would cover her shifts so I took 5 days for her which makes me work 8 days in a row now, have 3 off work 4 have 2 off work 3 and then I have 8 off. Which is a big difference than my 7 on 7 0ff that I usually have. Well the reason I am going to Colorado, is becase Casey's family is having a family reunion down there, and his dad is recieving his endowments, and they are getting sealed as a family in the Denver temple. So I am going there for that fabulous occasion. I am staying with Casey's older sister Coree which should be a ton of fun, I love her, we get along so well and have so many similar things in common. And she has a daughter named Zoe that is 5 and I absolutely adore her, she is so cute. So it should be a fun vacation. I'm going there on the 22nd and I am flying back on the 27th and Casey is flying back with me. He is coming to Idaho to load all of my stuff in a big Uhaul trailer, and drive it to Arizona for me. :) Isn't he sweet. I was going to go with him so that I could put the stuff in the house we are renting and decorate and everything, but he said he can do it without me, which will save on a plane ticket back for me. It makes me a little nervous to let him unload everything when I'm not there, I'm a little meticulous about my decorating and stuff but he knows that so he said he won't hang anything or do anything like that til I move there in September. :) So since he is doing this in July, that means that when he comes to Idaho for the wedding we can drive back in the same car, and he'll drive. I think this was all part of his plan because he knows that I hate to drive (especially by myself) and if he wouldn't take my stuff in July he would do it in Sept. and I would follow him in my car. And he knows that driving long distances kills my bad hip so if I am the passanger I can move around and twist and turn so that it doesn't hurt me where as if I drive I have to stop every couple hours to get out stretch move around and stuff like that, and when you have a 20 hour trip the stopping every few hours gets annoying and makes the trip sooooo much longer. So I appreciate him being willing to drive to arizona all by himself to save me the pain and driving by myself. Well I think that is about it for now, I will try and keep you posted when new stuff happens, and I will post some Disneyland pictures hopefully.

Vacation....
Well there isn’t a whole lot going on lately besides the wedding stuff, but that will be going on for the next 4 months. I went to the doctor yesterday and had the lumps on my breast removed, and they sent them to my hospital for biopsies. They think that they are just some cyst, (she called them a special name but I don’t remember what it is) so that is good news, I have these type of cysts before and had them removed because they can grow to be quite large and they begin to hurt after awhile. I am a little sore this morning, but not to bad. I think I might have been allergic to something she used because I have red blotches all over my chest and they itch like crazy, so I asked one of the doctors in the ER for a cream to make it stop itching and that seems to be working well.
I have one more day of work for this 7 on and then I am going to see my Aunt and Uncle and cousins, in Moses Lake, Washington. I am way excited, I haven’t been to there house in years so this should be a fun vacation. I am taking a lot of my sewing stuff, I have some table runners I’m making for the wedding that I need to finish and then I have some quilts that I have started but never finished that I am taking and hopefully I will be able to finish them while I am up there. Everyone at my house is doing well, there are a few colds here and there but nothing to serious. I guess I will write more later when I have more “exciting” news. Love to all!
