so exciting!

Ok false advertising there, more like sarcasm for a title. Happy Memorial Day everyone! Today I was supposed to work...well I was running a tad late so I called my boss at work letting her know I was going to be about 10 minutes late. Instead of saying ''ok see ya then!" She says ''Well you were supposed to be here at 9 am" ummm excuse me? I swear on Saturday when talking she wanted me to close. great. But luckily for me she wasn't upset at all. What didn't make sense though was when I asked why they didn't call me when I didn't show up with in the first 30 minutes. I'm never late to work. Her reply was ''I told so and so to not call you cause we didn't know why you weren't here, maybe you had been in an accident.'' hmmm ok is it just me but don't you think if thought one of your employee's was late due to being injured or in an accident you would definitely call to see if they were ok?

Needless to say I got off the nearest exit and headed back home. lovely.

So I'm spending much needed time in the bedroom and bathroom cleaning. Finally decided on an invitation. Crazy how much some invites are! I mean after all majority of them will just be tossed in the garbage after the big day is over. So i've been on the hunt for some thing on the cheaper side but still looks nice. 66 Days to go! lots to do still, but enjoying it all.

28 days till I see this handsome guy! not that i'm counting or anything..

engagement pictures

Yay for having a beautiful day yesterday! With all of the rain we have been having I was worried about taking our engagement pictures. It was a one time shot since Ryan left this morning to go back to Colorado. He flew home for 5 days so we could drive to California for our friends' wedding and take pictures. Here are a few of my favorites. Ryan did an awesome job, he loathes taking multiple pictures so after a couple of hours he was restless and couldn't pull a straight face or past the fake smile. What a trooper.

I love this boy

Thank you Sara for taking our pic's! It's wonderful to have one of my best friends help me out :D

Happy Mother's Day!

The fam came over for a yummy bbq and home made ice cream. The mom's were able to sit down and relax while the guys cleaned up the mess. :D

Happy Mother's day mom and sisters! (wish you were here Brittani, hope you enjoyed your day!)

celebs

You know when you some times see people and they look similar to a celebrity.

I had a client that resembled a celeb like Denzel Washington

One of my new clients TOTALLY has the personality reminding me of ''Mama Odie'' from the movie ''The Princess and the Frog" She was a riot listening to her stories.

Today however...I had a client that, I'm not even kidding, reminded me of...

minus the shoulder length hair and grey pointy teeth.

Wedding Plans!

So far wedding planning have been.....so much fun! I'm not stressed at all just excited and looking forward to seeing how everything turns out on the big day and being married to the most wonderful person.

I've gotten a lot done, still have things to do of course. So Plans are:

We are getting married around 10 am at the Salt Lake Temple, reception is at The Gathering Place in Gardner Villiage.

Colors are: kelly green, brown, and navy blue shades.

photographer & videographer by Point Digital

dj thanks to my friend Brennen should be lots of fun!

I found and ordered my dress today! I can't wait to wear it on the big day!

We're renting a photo booth for the reception, pretty sure that is one of my favorite things about the reception. We are using it while people are signing in, it prints out 2 copies of 4 pictures I think. One as a favor to take and the other to put in my book and sign your name by. Great thing about it as well is you can take as many pictures as you want through out the night!

I'm definitely looking forward to playing around with this with friends, family, and Ryan.

*this isn't the actual photo booth*

Instead of doing a luncheon we are going to do a dinner the night before so we don't feel rushed on the wedding day. mmm yum can't wait for it! Ryan's family is going to make Armenian food and American food.

Still need to decide on food for reception,

make a list of people to invite and addresses,

take engagement pictures/find company to make invites

find jewelry and hopefully green shoes!

find company to rent linens from

make center pieces

take bridal pictures

and I'm sure the list goes on...

whew! Lot's done, much to do still!

that's it??

I have been telling my family and friends that when Ryan leaves (which was yesterday) it would be no big deal at all, I didn't even think twice about him leaving really. I was like ok great! I'll get lots of wedding planning done, focus on work, have some girl time with my girlfriends. I mean after all I will basically be seeing him almost every month for a few days at least. Which starts in 2 weeks for a friends wedding in California we are going to.

It's barely been 24 hours and I feel a bit pathetic. I'm soooo bored with him gone! My best friend is no longer just twenty-five minutes away. Thanks to technology he's a phone call or skype call away for now. I used to want to vomit when I would read blogs/posts about girls missing their fiance/husband when on trips and now

I have become one of them. great.

trax

Thursday Ryan and I rode trax to go to our friends graduation......

Riding trax is like a box full of chocolates...you never know what you're gonna get, or who you're gonna meet!

this guy knew how to sing at least! great entertainment riding from down town to Sandy.

-she has got some killer socks right?

4/10/10

4/10/2010 is a day I will definitely remember forever. Ryan and I are tieing the knot! no this is not another April Fool's prank (no wonder Ryan was't too thrilled when I posted up my fake engagement on face book that day!)

Ryan leaves in a week and a half for Colorado for the summer to work hard with a roofing company. So with him leaving he told me he wanted to throw a going away dinner before he leaves....right a ''going away dinner'' He made reservations at Asian Star for us and around 20 of our good friends. I wish I had taken pictures of us all, we were quite the large group. It was so much fun though thanks to everyone who made it!

After eating dinner Ryan stood up making a toast thanking everyone for coming to the dinner, for their friendship, expressing how he'll miss everyone this summer so it was fun to have one last hoorah before he leaves. Than looks at me and says he has some unfinished business before he leaves. He get's down on one knee as I feel a flood of emotions and put my face in my hands crying (seriously??) I finally look at him as he asks me to marry him and said yes to him giving him a hug and kiss.

We are so excited for our big day! So mark your calanders everyone for August 5, 2010

50th post

This mark's my 50th post, So I thought it would be fun to post 50 things you may or may not know about me & Ryan.

1) I don't know how to snap normal-Ryan says I look ''special'' when doing it

2) Diet Coke is my weakness

16)He apparently doesn't know what pants are, he wears shorts and flip flops all year round..even in the 20 degree weather. AND has to drive with the windows down at all times

17) He hates getting his picture taken

18) although he doesn't like to go shopping he's probably the best person to go with because he looks at all angles to make sure it's in the best condition to purchase.

19) He is the kindest person I have ever met, and he will stop whatever he is doing to help out a friend or stranger.

20) He HATES hair, as in when I cut his hair he gets annoyed if any of it gets down his neck or when it's on me he wont hug me till it's all off.

24) He thinks we are going to have EIGHT kids when we get married...uhhh riiiight...

25) Chili's and The Roof restaurants are 'our' places

30) In high school Ryan tried impressing me telling me things like he could snow board, was going to learn how to skeleton so he could join the olympics one day, a scar on his face was from getting in a fight and had to defend himself against a knife (too funny after we began dating and found these things out)

31) I said the 'L' word first

32) As opposite as Ryan and I are we are a perfect fit balancing each other out in ways we both need, he has patience...I am learning, I am the loud outgoing one, Ryan is more conservative and the home body.

41) I love baking and wish I were creative to try making my own recipes but I have to follow a recipe other wise my food would taste like garbage

42) Ryan is a hot nerd ;)

43) Ryan is the logical thinker, I am the emotional one

44) I first met him at his wrestling match in high school and thought he was the bomb dot com with his high lights, tan skin and killer good looks oh and his awesome singlet

46) Ryan has mad drawing/ air brush skills that I envy and love to admire when he doodles on paper

47) I love painting my nails just so I can peel the polish off days later

48) I would rather have home made bread with home made jam than cake or candy any day

49) Ryan is part man part fish. I swear he had gills when he gets in the water, that boy can swim and stay in the water forever!
