16 Days and Counting

16 days til the best day in my life - OH BOY!!!!!

So, yes, things are stressful and hectic at times... and I forget things, then remember at the last minute... and I'm working tons... and trying to fit in summer fun... special time with just Mick and me... and family time... and me time... and exercise time... and sleep... and..... wedding planning and... and... and...

WELL - I HAVEN'T BEEN BLOGGIN' MUCH!!

I'm sorry friends! I still think of all of ya.

Anyway, I noticed I haven't blogged in over a month -YIKES! So, lets see...
We went to Green River and I said I would post pics... yeah... little late on that one, but I'm doing a whole post on it. I'll work on it today, so stay tuned ;)

With my tummy... not much better. Oh well. I did that colon cleanse thing, with not a lot of result. Yes, more than usual (which is a plus I suppose), but I was expecting more I guess. I talked with my sweet grammee about some of her ideas for the good ole' colon. She's super into the homeopathic and alternative health medicine stuff and she sent me all this information that she's been keeping for years in her file cabinets. She's SO CUTE! So, I've browsed, but need to decide on what to attempt next. Dun Dun Duuuuunnnnnn - Scary!

THE WEDDING -

Man! It's been great planning, but there's SO much to do! Everyone has been SPECTACULAR in helping me and Mick and I appreciate it SO much! We finished the invitations and sent them out!! THAT IS SUCH A WEIGHT OFF THE SHOULDERS! Those dang invitations were hanging over our heads like nothing else. Now we just need to hear back from poeple to get a count.

I got my bridal pics done! I love that dress... love it more everytime I see it on. It feels so great to feel so beautiful for my sweetheart. Can't believe how awesome the pics are. It was pouring rain that day and I was having a mini meltdown about it... well, I guess that part started when we went up to Red Butte and forgetful Sheryl didn't call to set the appointment and they already had someone there and said, "we don't let 2 brides into the gardens at the same time." I was all ready... hair and make-up done... just standing there staring at these people like a lil puppy dog. Anyway, my sisters and mom were the best and helped me not break down completely - then we figured out another place to go. When we got there it stopped raining and made the lighting PERFECT for the pics and it was AWESOME! Can't wait to show them off to Mick - hehe

We're trying to finalized all the expenses and get them paid now, and we're just reviewing everything and getting all the last things lined up. I'm so excited about all of it, but most importantly that the ones we love are going to be there (still keepin the fingers crossed for a slim chance of Spence and MaryAnn coming out). We figured out ways to save on flowers and food... and that's GREAT. I know it's going to be beautiful and wonderful... a day for Mick and me that I will never forget and cherish forever. It's all coming together -CRAZY!!!! My mom, sisters, in-laws, and friends have eased my mind and stress a ton... THANKS EVERYONE - It means SO much!

Did I tell you all that I got my passport a while ago? That means everything's set for the cruise of a lifetime -WOOT WOOT! Yeah, I'm SO pumped! Now we just have to wait - DANG!!! 25 days

MY SWEETS

My poor mickly's been so sickly :(

Who know's what's wrong with him - poor guy. He's been on and off of work for a few weeks now. Somethings up with him and nobody can figure it out. We went to the InstaCare a while ago - they sent us to the ER - they had Mick do some test - that didn't show anything - then sent him home with a test - but then couldn't do it - saw the primary care - he's not sure what - saw our friend Ruth... she's having him take some vitamins. He is slowly feeling better, but still lots of abdominal pain and some nausea. I wish I could make him feel better. He keeps a good attitude through it all though - sweet thing. I'm sure we'll figure something out.

He's been SO WONDERFUL with all the wedding stuff. What a catch I've snagged up. He can tell when I'm freaking out over nothing and just need a listening ear. He can tell when I need some me and him time. He can tell when I need to spend some time getting things done instead of relaxing with him (even when I wish I could just relax with him). He makes me smile and laugh through the craziness. He's patient with my craziness. He's enthusiastic and excited about the plans we're making. He's interested in helping with the plans and that makes me SO happy.

He spoiled me on my birthday. He re-assured me and was a support after a hard day at work, we spent time together and he got me all these gifts, we ate dinner together, we went to a movie, he gave me the best card ever and I totally cried when I was reading it. It was perfect. He makes my life so special!

I love family time with Mick. His family is so awesome - we went swimming with Mandy, Joe, and CoopCoop the other day and it was FUN FUN FUN! I loved the 4th and the fireworks, NASCAR, Joe's awesome cookin', going to get even more fireworks with Mick and Mandy and crackin up over the silliness of it all! I love Monique being the best make-up artist in town and helping me for my bridal pics - then Jodi walking in to see the girl party and being like -"WHAT THE...??!!!" I love the phone calls I get from the Mother and Poppi wishing us well, checking in and being great suports. I love that Colby and Jake are so pumped for the wedding and have fun stories that make me laugh ALL THE TIME! I love feeling welcome and loved.

I love that Mick wants to hang with my family and join in on games and discussions and be involved. I love that he scoops up Owen and is a great Uncle to him. I love that my fam thinks the world of him. I love that he thinks my family is funny and fun (and crazy... cause we are and I love it). I love that my family cares about how Mick is feeling and how my Mom and Dad came up to the ER when we went up there for Mick the other day. I love it!!!!!

Well, so I guess we're just waitin'...

but hey, even the waiting is fun!!!
