Las Vegas.

For our ONE year wedding anniversary

we spent the our long weekend in Vegas.

There was waiting at the airport to pickup Husband #2.

Full story here. 

Wandering into fancy shops.

That we someday hope to be able to afford.

Quality boy time occurred.

Wedding festivities were taken part of.

Exercise happened in walking the strip

and ALL OVER.

 Anniversary dinner consisted of pizza and Ben & Jerry's.

Then going off the top of the Stratosphere.

Then finally eating the top tier of our wedding cake.

Benji was a little grossed out, but still ate a piece.

Should have registered....

for this.

...

As seen here and here

we have become technology savvy

in our house.

We made the splurge got

IPHONES!

We love them, but we are still learning about them.

I transferred all of my pictures from my old phone to the new one,

then learned yesterday I can then put them on

my computer.

I was super excited, and thought I would share.

Benji got a little jealous when he saw I had more pictures of one of my nephews

than him.

My favorite wedding picture.

Steffen took it on Benji's phone then he sent it to my phone.

I am so glad it is on my computer now.

Favorite Things.

I have decided I want to be just like Oprah.

I mean who doesn't want to be like her. Look at her?

So I decided I was going to come up with a favorite things list.

1. My shoes I am wearing with my wedding dress. Found here. I keep getting them out of the box and looking at them. Surprisingly, they are actually pretty comfortable and not hard to walk in at all. I hope they are somewhat similar shade to Benji's suit he is going to be wearing. Found here. If not I might have a hard time parting ways with them to get other ones.
2. This blog. Recently, almost everyday I not only watch one of her tutorials but three or four. Nerdy? Very much so. I am like a little girl just being able to use makeup.
3. My new wallet I got for Christmas. I absolutely love it. It has so many pockets for all of my random cards I carry. Don't ask why. And it is wide enough I am able to fit so many receipts in it so they aren't on the bottom of my purse.
4. My veil. Found here. I am so excited to wear it. The lady who made it lives in Rexburg. I found and met her through a friend at school. I love everything she does. I wish I was creative and crafty. You can order stuff from her etsy shop or she does custom things if you contact her directly.
5. Hobby Lobby. I could and do spend hours in that store. I love it. Every time I go in there I get more decorating ideas for our apartment after we get married. I am beyond disappointed the closest one from us will be in Salt Lake.
6. Mary Kay Night Solution. My Mom uses this stuff all the time. The other day we were talking and she suggested I start using it. I just laughed and told her that was for old people but then I started using it and I absolutely love it. It makes your skin feel so soft.
7. My engagement ring all soddered with the wedding bands. Benji did such a good job picking out my ring. Not very good picture of the three of them seen here.
8. The bed set we registered for. Found here. Of course at Target. I love the big, bold damask print. Luckily, it didn't take much to convince Benji to like it as well.
9. Redken Align 12. I use this stuff almost every night when I blow dry my hair. I have even gotten my Mom to use it as well.
10. Benji's birthday is less than a week away and I get to spend a few days with him in week. I tried convincing him he needed to get a cookie cake for his birthday because that is what I am recently craving. He told me no. I said he is party pooper.

I want it all.

I have spent the past two days staring at

nothing and it gradually getting flatter.

My Dad and I drove my car down

from Salt Lake to Texas.

It all went by pretty fast, surprisingly.

I enjoyed being able to talk with my Dad

and get his wisdom and thoughts on things.

Friday before we left I had to go to Park City

and on my way I there it hit me

how much I have missed my car and Utah.

It made me secretly want to move back.

At dinner that night Matthew started talking about

an inverted pentagraph.

What the heck?

That is the reason he is going to be in school for the rest of his life.

Getting a million degrees and not me.

Ok ok....I have had loads of fun planning mine and Benji's wedding,

but seriously can it be here already?

I feel like time is going by so slowly then fast

but right now soo slow.

I.Pod Jam on repeat right now: Prove You Wrong by He is We.

Thanksgiving Week.

Dress got picked up then taken to get alterations.

I can't wait to finally have it have it.

After many phone calls to Stylart and UPS

all of the announcements

finally got delivered.

Then most of the announcements

got put together.

I can't wait for them to finally get in the mail.

Benji and I registered. Target and Dillards.

We had an interesting experience

at both places, but so much fun at the same time.

Benji got into registering just as much as I did.

Seeing him get excited got me even more excited about it all.

I am so blessed to have someone who cares about me

and all our home decor.

Benji is almost a true Texan.

He tried true Texas BBQ, Blue Bell ice cream,

had a kolache for breakfast,

driven and dealt with crazy Texas roads and people.

Thanksgiving dinner was spent with my Mom's family

in Dallas,

which is always an interesting experience,

but still fun.

Copper, our dog, now has a new best friend

(which is hard to make happen).

I know Benji is excited to come again in February

to be reunited with his new friend.

Met with the wedding planner and DJ

to finalize stuff with them for February!

83 days!

Had lunch with a friend from high school and her boyfriend.

Oh, how I loved catching up with her.

Benji and JT had a blast spending time together also.

Bought Hobby Lobby out on

black frames.

Came up with even more decor ideas for our apartment

after we get married.

Took Benji to the airport early,

for him to be in Denver

when his brother got home from his mission.

I may or may not have shed a tear or two

when I dropped him off.

I was on cloud nine the whole time he was here.

I can't wait for the time to come again when I get to be with him everyday,

like I am used to.

Cut down the Christmas tree.

(Pictures will be coming soon.)

Saw Harry Potter.

Now, dreading going back to a normal week.

I gotta a feeling...

Tomorrow's going to be a good day...

I pick up my wedding dress at 10 am.

Our announcements are supposed to be here

before noon.

I get to babysit my nephew.

And...

I pick up Benji from the airport at 4.

I am super excited!

The. Outfit.

This past week Benji got his suit

for February!

Seeing him trying it on

and examine it in excitement

made me even more excited

for my dress to come in and

February to be here!

Isn't he such a stud?

I sure think so.

Lunch.

One of the many perks of doing my internship

with my Uncle

is every once in awhile

I get treated to lunch.

On friday we went to lunch at this

hole in the wall in

Morgan.

They had several peacocks around the outside of the restaurant.

It made me even more excited for February to come.

3 months, 3 weeks, 5 days.

Rexburg

This past weekend I made a trip to Rexburg.

Shortly, after arrival I remembered why I graduated early.

Friday it was 40. Yes, 40 in September.

All day. On top of being super windy.

I was able to get a lot accomplished while I was there.

Able to get some things worked out with one of my old teachers.

Worked out some things with the school.

For my wedding I am getting my veil custom-made.

I was able to meet with the lady making it and get everything finalized.

I am super excited to see how it turns out.

Her company is called Miss Ruby Sue.

Check out her stuff. I love it.

She is also making the corsages and boutonnieres.

We were able to get the second band to my engagement ring picked up.

I love my ring.

Not only was I able to do all that but I was able to hang out with some friends.

But especially with my favorite person.

I loved it. I have so much fun when we are together.

He always keeps me guessing of what funny saying or thing is going to come next.

Now if only February 19th would hurry up.

5 months and 5 days.
