I've been a slacker at blogging as of the past few months...

But here are a few pictures from the wedding that Matt's dad took.

That day really was the best ever:) And I sure do love this guy a lot.

I think this last one, with Matt's nieces and nephews, is hilarious. I hope you can see our faces. "Wait a second, what do we do with these kids? Help?" (I wish I could think of a funnier phrase, but you get the idea:)

We look pretty worried about it. ;)

Hello again! I'm married!

I really cannot even believe I'm married:) (As of September 24th) The day could not have gone more perfectly and I loved every minute of it! Our sealing was one of the most spiritual experiences I have been a part of and I am so grateful to have been married in the temple. It was truly incredible and I don't think I'll ever be able to fully express what a blessing it has been to us so far. I know it will always be an amazing blessing for our marriage.

This past month has definitely kept Matt and I crazy busy. But crazy busy in an awesome-i-get-to-be-married-to-the-best-person-ever kind of way:)

I'm hoping to get wedding photos soon that I can post! But until then, here are a couple that my amazing cousin Jenny took (who flew all the way from Arizona for the wedding-as did one of my very best friends Amy-I am sooooo incredibly appreciative and happy they could come:))

Can you believe it??

I'm getting married in ONE WEEK!!!

Matt's such a dreamboat:)

I'm getting married...

... in TWO WEEKS!!

Can you believe it??

Another Shower:) and Porter Rockwell has Crickets...

My wonderful family through me a shower last Saturday. The food was delicious!

My family gave Matt and I some really awesome things and I can't wait to start playing house and use them:) My niece, Kristi (sitting to my left), made me this adorable apron. (This is me looking domestic...)

And I have to take a sappy moment and just say how grateful I am to my friends and family for throwing these showers for me. They have meant a lot to me and I really love getting together with everyone:))

On a side note... I really love running on the Porter Rockwell trail by my house, but lately it has been infested with crickets! And they are terrifying. (On occasion there have also been preying mantises, which are equally, if not more, terrifying as they stand there completely still on the side of the trail with an evil plan to attack me as I come running by. Luckily it hasn't happened...yet)

The crickets can easily be mistaken for a piece of bark or a small broken tree branch so I am constantly a little uneasy as I run. And since I'm too blind to tell which it is, it's not until a closer approach that I discover them and they JUMP, which always scares me like crazy. What scares me the most is that you can't tell which way they are going to jump. I know the worst they can do is be gross and bounce of my leg if they run into me, but every time I happen upon one I can't help but flinch and hold my breath while I pick up my legs a little more to try and avoid their bounce - probably looking hilarious to the person behind me.

What makes it even worse is that a couple of days ago I watched an episode of Bones with my mom (one of her favorite shows) and the murder victims were eaten alive by insects:( Bad idea.

I don't know where these crickets came from, but I'd be a lot happier if they went and lived in a field or something.

A Shower and a wedding update...

This past week I had a shower with my friends down in Provo. I have wonderful friends and it was so fun to see everyone! HUGE thank you to Natalie and Lisa, especially, for putting everything together:)

Wedding update: MY DRESS!!
I *finally* have my dress! And I am in love with it! It couldn't be more perfect. I wish I could post photos, but I don't want Matt to see it before the wedding:)

Friends!

I love my friends.

Last week Natalie introduced me to a super delicious ice cream shop in Provo called La Michoacana (1700 N State St). It is SOOOO worth going. And if you get to go with Natalie you'll love it *that* much more:)

I know this photo is burry, and I hope it doesn't give too many people a headache looking at it, but Natalie and I thought it was kind of cute blurry.

Also. Some of my amazing friends threw me a shower last Saturday. I really loved it so so much. It was so nice to get together with everyone and catch up. And the food was delicious! I should have taken a picture. Shout out to Catie and her amazing culinary skills!

And one more photo:) Bee's game. 2010:

Registration...

Matt's sweet mom is throwing us an early shower while some members of his family are in town and so we have begun registering for gifts. I wish I had taken photos of the process cause it's kind of funny, but we have a few more trips in the future, so I will document then:) It was actually kind of fun, but I'm positive it would not have been near as much fun if my mom hadn't accompanied us. I can totally picture myself getting super frustrated and overwhelmed with the process within the first 5 mintues, but my mom made everything seemless. (As she always does) So just wanted to send a quick shout out to my mom for always being so kind and awesome!!

(I know I've posted this picture before, but I just really like it)

Also, I just think this dress is super gorgeous.

and p.s. HUGE thank you to everyone and their sweet comments. So nice:)
