Picture Update

I emailed Aaron about when the pictures would be up on pictage.com and he informed me by Saturday at the latest. His goal is Friday. So there you have it. We can't wait!

P.S. It is pronounced pictaaaaaaaage instead of pictedge in case you were wondering.

We made the blog!

We joked with Aaron Snow that we didn't make his website or blog with our engagement pictures. But with the wedding we did make the blog. So if you would like to see a couple of pictures check out his blog. You can also see how awesome some of his other work is. The blog is: http://www.aaronsnowphotography.blogspot.com/.

Love the new apartment except...

The oven does this to my baked goods. Yesterday was our first Sunday here in Utah in our apartment. I was so excited to cook a very delish dinner and that it was. Roast and mashed potatoes and I thought, homemade brownies! I was so excited for them. I set the oven to 350 degrees. As I was putting them in right before we sat down, I said aloud...man this is hot in here! Not ten minutes later the smoke alarm is going off and the apartment is filled with smoke. P says, is something burning. We open the oven to find this. Disgusting. Burned to a crisp...at least the outside of it. So we finished dinner with smoke (had to take the batteries out of the smoke alarms so they would shut up). I was pissed! I guess I don't get to make a perfect meal. Maybe we'll get a new oven out of it! That would be awesome!

PS P insists that the inside was so delish and kept wanting me to try a bite and I refused. That's me, too stubborn when I get mad. Oh well...

And we're back...

Well I figure since I've been back in Utah for a few days, I should give an update on the wedding. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures to post so if anyone in my family wants to send me some I can get them posted. I arrived in OKC last Wednesday night. Sar picked me up and we headed to Walgreen's for some stuff. Jana met us there and then we headed to the parentals. We headed to bed pretty early. Thursday morning I got up and headed to get a practice run on my hair. The rest of the day was spent at the church setting up wedding stuff. There were some awesome people there helping us. Thanks to the Davicks, Lee, and the Polings. They were so sweet to offer their supplies and help. We got most of it put together on Thursday. At least we had the boys to entertain us by running around (glad you brought them Tiff)! P came into town that night as well. Friday we got to drive downtown to get our marriage license. It was interesting to do but exciting. We headed to the Church after lunch to help with finishing touches. Then all us girls went to get our nails done. What a great time to sit and relax and get pampered. Afterwards I took P to see his parents. I took him out to eat at Nino's, my favorite mexican restaurant and it was so delish! I love the cheese dip and could eat it EVERY day. I am craving some right now!

Then it was the big day. I got up about 5 to shower and get organized. Kim came over to do my hair at 6. She was a quick worker and was done by 7 or 7:15 and it looked great. Then Sar did my make-up and I got dressed to head to the temple. We got there about 9 and got the papers in order. Then we were waiting and waiting and waiting. P's parents were lost. They took a wrong freeway turn and were far out of the way. Luckily there were some awesome temple workers who guided them in. They were only 20 minutes late. The sealing ceremony was amazing. Knowing that I am sealed to P for eternity is such a great feeling. Having an eternal companion is what is really important to me. We have a family now and it's great. We took pictures outside the temple for about an hour and a half and I'm so grateful to family and friends for being there to support us. I love my photographer. Aaron Snow! Thanks for doing a great job! This was his first Mormon wedding and I hope he enjoyed it. He is so creative with pictures. I recommend him to EVERYONE!

After pictures we headed to the airport with Jana to get our car and then to lunch. Zio's is my favorite Italian and did not let me down. So delish and we enjoyed talking with friends and family. After lunch P and I headed to the Bed and Breakfast to get checked in. It was such a cool place. We then headed back to the church to get ready for the reception. Aaron wanted some more pictures with the evening lighting with the temple and we were happy to oblige. So much fun! Oh just a side note, we are a house divided so on my toes I had an Alabama A on one big toe and OU on the other foot. Pictures to follow. Once Aaron gets the pictures online I will let you all know the link so you can check them out. Because he had a break, Aaron brought his laptop with some pictures. Tiff was good enough to print some pictures she had taken as well to make our table look great. We did a line for an hour, cut the cakes (that's right we had a groom's cake), then I sang "Just the Way I Am" with the siblings helping with music, we danced to "At Last", I danced with my dad (love you!) and P with his mom, one more dance and then we did some mingling. As the night went on I threw the bouquet and he threw the garter. We just had a great time. Then it was time to head off. Kat organized bubbles as we came out of the church.

The honeymoon was much too short but a good time. It was nice to relax, which I have a hard time doing. It gets easier though with P around. He has a calming affect on me. Overall, things didn't go perfectly but I was so happy that it didn't matter. They flowed relatively well and it was the best day of my life. I love you P! Thanks to everyone who came and supported. Missed those who couldn't come!

5 days left..

Well it's amazing that I will be getting married THIS WEEK! I can't believe it. I also can't believe how much I have to do before Saturday. First we have to move in. We attempted this on Saturday only to have it rain...all day long. So we moved stuff from Grandma's in and the big stuff will get taken care of today. And don't worry that I also have meetings this evening. Should be a nice long day! But the kitchen is almost all set up and I am VERY happy about that. I'm so excited to have my very own kitchen and can put stuff where I want! I need to take pics of the place so I will try to remember that tonight. I leave Wednesday for Oklahoma and then the real fun begins because I can finally only focus on the wedding. I am so excited to be P.'s wife!
