True Happiness < One Month Away

So, today is October 29. That means that in less than a month, we'll be married. Holy cow...that rocks. Dan and I have been working hard getting everything together while trying to keep our heads above water in school. So far, so good. Just this past week, for example, we bought envelopes, spray painted posts, made crust for the desserts at the reception, cut styrofoam circles and glued styrofoam balls on them (it was cooler than it sounds...), got my bridal photos back, and almost printed off our wedding annoucements. Phew! And it's just Wednesday. I say almost because the computer it was saved on kind of crashed.... OK, so it totally crashed. Hopefully Joe can work his magic and save the file! If not, our announcements might be getting out a little later than we had planned. Hmmm....

But, with all the wedding stuff going on, Dan and I still like to take time to relax and have fun. Our last date night was great! We went to the corn maze at Thanksgiving Point. They had tons of little booths set up and cool things you could go look at. They had the most amazing carved pumpkins either of us had ever seen! We had fun getting lost in the David Archuleta corn maze...I think we got confused trying to get out of his nose....

Here are some pictures of the fun!

Carved pumpkins of awesomeness.

The corn maze took us about an hour and a half to conquer.

Farmer Dan and his little lady.

Move over Cinderella and Prince Charming! We look way better in the carriage!

That's my beautiful bride-to-be! Man, I'm lucky! :)

Say cheese!

So, yesterday was an interesting day for me. I don't really like getting my picture taken, I hate being the center of attention, and I'm a t-shirt and jeans kind of girl. When you consider all that, it might be surprsing to find out that I had a really fun time getting my bridal pictures taken.

This past week getting everything ready for the bridals was crazy. All I can say is never go to Allyse's Bridal in the mall or wait until the last minute to find out who is making your veil. I also recommend getting a bouquet sooner than the day before, just to save yourself a headache. Oh, and it might be nice to decide which shoes you're wearing sooner than five minutes before your photographer shows up! You'd think with how organized I usually am, things would have gone a little smoother...oh well!

Even though figuring out the details was a little crazy, it ended up being a really fun day. My sister Amy helped me get ready and did my hair. We went with the photographer to a little park in Saratoga Springs with some beautiful old trees, and then to an old iron bridge over a little pond. And, we snuck into someone's yard and took a picture with this cool looking fountain. We knocked on their door first, but no one answered...

So, one more check can go on the list! Things are moving right along!

I, Dan, just had to add one thing, the picture... isn't she beautiful?

Woot!

Life is good! Our wedding plans are moving right along. We just designed our wedding invitations and will finalize them when we actually reserve a place for our Reception in Orem. We're both very happy and excited about how things are going. This week we need to get that place reserved, and hopefully get our announcements printed. They're cute!

On a side note, I've gotten Laurie addicted to "Lost". Ha! We've watched most of the first season in just about a week. That's kind of funny. Trust me, we go out and have fun too! We just have too much time o our hands! Ha!!

So, we move forward. Only 52 days! Holy cow! That rocks! :)
