Back to the Burg

The wedding was everything that I wanted it to be. The honeymoon was great- great weather, great place, great fun. But now we are back in reality. Andrew and I have moved into our new apartment and we absolutely love it. It is the perfect size for us and all our stuff. :) Rexburg was really beautiful for the first week we were back. Warm weather greeted us as we moved in and got settled, but now it is getting a little bit colder as fall is coming (and shortly after winter will come). We love the new ward that we are in and we were both called to teach Sunday school (thanks to the sunday school president being one of Andrew's friends from his mission). We are excited to begin teaching.
Andrew has been working a lot since we've moved in which we are glad for the opportunity to make money so that we can pay rent. :) I'll start working on the 10th and then work through the whole semester. We are ready for school to start but at the same time we don't want it to start cause it comes with stress. I like to think that it won't be too bad though.
I'll post some pictures of the apartment soon!

We are married!!

Well, the day finally came! It was such a great day! The temple was wonderful and amazing and beautiful and perfect. It was so great to have family and friends and those I truly care about there at the temple. I also could not have asked for a better day. The weather was perfect!! The reception venue was absolutely perfect and everything I had pictured! The decorations were simple but so elegant and beautiful! I am so thankful to all the people who were there and helped set up and make it so wonderful. The evening was absolutely perfect and I could not have asked for more! The photographer and videographer were both amazing and I cannot wait to see the pictures and video that will help us remember the day that we got married. I will post pictures as soon as I get some :)
Thank you to all of the people who helped and came and made the day so great! Love you all!!

Crazyness

What a crazy couple weeks!!

It was so good to finally reach the end of the semester and get out of my apartment. Andrew and I then went to Utah for a few days. Monday, July 25th was our picture day for our groomals (They are absolutely beautiful! I'll post pictures soon) When we finished with pictures we left for California... an 11 hour drive all through the night. That's when the drama happened.... Andrew's jeep broke down about 15 miles outside of St. George, UT at 2:30 in the morning!! We got a tow, got the car to a shop, and went to sleep for a few hours. Well, to make this long story short, the car wasn't fixed the first time but it was the second. We had a 14 hour delay in St. George and I was ready to get out of there!
California was fun! We had a couple really relaxing days and one of my bridal showers (thanks to all who came!) I got a lot of really nice stuff that I'm excited about. One of the presents I got that is Andrew's favorite is a pizza stone from pampered chef. Needless to say, we'll be expert pizza makers before too long. We stayed in California until Friday, July 29th and then drove back to Utah through the night (just a little bit of traffic before Vegas and that was all!) and went to a friend's reception on Saturday.
Then the real work began. My family has been moving all week and wow, it was hard work. We got everything moved and are working on cleaning the old house. It definitely doesn't help that it is hot here!! Anyways, the work doesn't stop here because now we are on to worrying about wedding details (OH FUN) The wedding is coming So fast and while I am so grateful for that, there are moments where I wish I had just a little bit more time to get stuff done. Oh well! It is going to be an amazing day and I can't wait!! It has almost been nine months since Andrew and I have been dating/engaged and it has been the best nine months ever! I can't wait to see what our life together will bring! We both have amazing families and I know that our life will be great!

This is probably my favorite picture of us right now for those of you who like to see pictures :)

One Month

So today is a pretty awesome day for two reasons. First, Andrew and I have been together for 8 months! :) It's really amazing to me how fast time goes. Second, there is only one month left before our wedding! Very exciting! I am proud to say that pretty much all of the wedding plans are done! I feel so accomplished :) Spring Semester is almost over and then I can relax for a bit before the wedding (hopefully catch up on some much needed sleep). My stress level hasn't really gone down, but rather has shifted from planning to finals but it is good to know that I don't really have anything left to do for the wedding. We are ready for a couple trips to California; first for my bridal shower and second for our honeymoon. It will be nice to be out of the Rexburg bubble.
So here's to only one month left till our wedding :)
31 DAYS!

Just a quick update :)

Well, I probably don't need to tell everyone but INVITATIONS ARE OUT!!!!!! I am so glad that I didn't hand address all 300+ of them. I think that was the last big thing that I had to do for the wedding planning. There are still some little things left to do but that's just the little stuff so no sweat :) I can't believe how fast time is moving. There is a little over a month left until Andrew and my wedding.... I definitely wouldn't recommend taking 15 credits of upper level classes while planning a wedding but I can tell you that I'm glad I did. I'm sure that is the only reason that time is moving so quickly. I feel like those last few weeks leading up to the wedding are going to drag on because I won't be in school and won't be working and there won't be anything left for me to do for the wedding. It's a great feeling though, knowing that I will be able to relax a bit before the whole wedding day :) 

Temple View.... again

So........ We found out today that we aren't going to be in the brand new building but in the one that is already there.... (the second picture in the previous post).  I think it's because they're actually not going to done by the time we need to move in but Andrew doesn't agree :)
We are still really excited about these apartments because they are so nice.

Wedding plans are coming along rather nicely :) There isn't too much left that we have to do and we will be sending out invitations really soon! Yay!!

Temple View

So Andrew and I have found where we are going to live! We are really excited about the apartment. It will be just the right size for us and comes fully furnished (YES!). The absolute best part though (in my opinion) is that the apartment we move into is going to be new! We will be the first people to live in them :)

This is the building we will live in... It's not quite done yet

This is what it will look like when it is all done. There are some great people that live here and we are hoping that they won't split the ward cause then we would be sad.
