Almost there!!!

This countdown is killing me really... 2 1/2 more weeks 18 more days and then hours and seconds which i try not to look at because they are making me so antsy Engagement pictures as well as bridal pictures (a little early posted) are up on facebook if you want a look. It has been so crazy. so much to do. Sean and I are trying to find some sweet moments in the chaos. a little kiss in the corner. a surprise treat. a whisper in my ear of "I love you". a prayer together before we say goodnight. a jump into his arms when i see him for the first time that day. the little things..... they help me remember how much i love him and how excited i really am for August 18th. It seems i have been dreading it lately when i have no sleep, being asked to do a million things for everyone, working full time, and trying to get everything that I can done in the few hours i have. Tomorrow we can start to move into our new home. I am so even beyond excited!!!! It will also be nice to get some of my overwhelming crap out of my tiny apartment. I feel so bad that I have taken up every unclaimed space for my wedding stuff. Two words. Fridge Space. :D Oh i have found a new snack to get me through my day at work. Teddy Grams used to scoop nutella and if i am lucky a strawberry to stick it on. Delicious! well i have paper cranes to fold so... take care.

What a week!

Last week was pure madness. Sean and I were exhausted and still trying to recover from it all. We had his family reunion, invitations to get done, and fitting in as many work hours as possible. Yeah i was pooped and rounding corners in the car to things so we could get invitations done as fast as we could. We have most of them done now but we are still trying to get them out. only three more weeks left! The family reunion was a blast! HIs family is truly amazing. The first day we worked in the morning and then went to Lagoon! I have not been since before i can remember. After we went to my aunts house to wedding plan and in the end we had only eaten one meal that morning and we got to bed around 3am. Next morning I was called into work and after i could get off we went to go pick up pictures for our invites and worked on them on our way to SLC for some more family time at the new mall and then a bbq at Sean's grandparents. Sean had to go back to work that evening and so i stayed home and worked on wedding invites all night. next day we gave a tour of byu to his family and then i worked for a couple hours until the lab closed. After that I was able to meet with my old roomie Josie!! She just finished her semester at BYUI and was down here for a day.We went to lunch, got some delicious Asian food and caught up on everything. Next we stopped at Omi's (my grandmothers house) to get some stuff from my mom (my parents are living the the apartment in her house and taking care of her). Mom and I dropped off Josie and then after picking up Sean we went up to Alpine to meet my aunt at the reception house to plan the wedding. Things are looking good. I am glad she is taking over the details and i can trust her. I was able to show my new family (the girls at least) my wedding dress. It was fun and they are all super excited. :) my new brother Ryan had a seizure which was a scary scene since I have never seen him have one as bad as this time. He was breathing in a way that sounded like loud snoring and after Sean and his brother started giving Ryan a priesthood blessing it imminently calmed down and by the end of the blessing he was conscious again. The priesthood power is real power from the Lord and what a blessing it is to be a part of this church where we are able to have it. I am so grateful and I am so super excited to be marrying a man who is worthy and holds that priesthood power. Until next time Take care oh and yesterday I spent most of the day inside at grandmas making ties for the wedding.It was almost enough to drive me completely crazy. The best part of the whole day was taking a walk with Sean and my aunt Susan in the warm summer Rain.

So close to Forever

Only one more month left to go before I am married to Sean for eternity!!! I am so super excited! Things are crazy trying to get everything ready. Right now is crunch time for the planning. We have invitations to get out this week and they are getting printed today so lots of putting them together in the next few days. We will be at Sean's family reunion so am guessing I will be getting little sleep. lots and lots to do. you dont even realize how many little details you have to put a lot of thought and planning into. right now i am trying to find envelopes and melt away mints for the cheapest price but still quality. its a real pain.but i have a sweet Man who helps take care of me when i am a stressed out mess. Lots to do but I am so excited to have Sean forever! 31 more days!!!! what an intense countdown. I went to the last temple prep class and I am so super excited to enter the temple, receive my endowments, and then get sealed to the man i love for eternity. What blessings i have in my life. I am so grateful for all of them and right now i am especially grateful to all those who are helping with the wedding. BAH!!!! one MONTH!!! :) Beyond excited! 7 months since i met Sean. 7 months my life has completely changed, 7 months seems like 7 years. I love SEAN!!! Take care! ANa

Hunger Games Wedding

NO i am not having a HUnger Games themed wedding. I did however find out today that the HUnger Games movie is released on DVD the same day i get married. I am trying to find something comical in this but keep coming up with random thoughts of bread and berries that will ironically be served at my reception. With the plan to put birds on things, more and more these two events happening on the 18th may not be pure coincidence. Maybe I am meant to hide away in a cave with Sean and give him kisses for food.....not such a bad plan. Thinking about it more thats basically what we will be doing during our honeymoon. Maybe Sean just needs to throw burnt bread at me. I guess only time will tell. May the odds ever be in our favor! (for eternity) Take care!

The Temple

In exactly one month from today I will be entering the Holy Temple and receiving my endowments. I am so excited to for this sacred and wonderful promise that will bring me closer to my Heavenly Father. What an amazing time for me. I am so blessed in my life. I am so grateful for the gospel in my life and the blessings it brings. I am so grateful for Sean, my love, my best friend, my everlasting rock. One month. One month and a week Until I am married. life is good. no. life is great. Take care, Ana

Runaways

The killers have done it again. Today was the release of their new song from their new album coming out this year. Sean is a major Killers fan. Like no joke. Brandon Flowers is his major man crush. Anyways the song is super good and I thought i would share! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LOeImx0kW4&feature=youtu.be
