Dang! I think that the past two weekends have just solidified how fast May is coming! I've just been partying it up! hahahahha
Last weekend my daddy was so generous to bring me home for a bridal shower and to take care of some wedding stuff. It was SO fun! First of all I would like to particularly thank my Aunt Susan, Faith, and my cousin Amber for throwing me a wonderful bridal shower!!! And thank you to all who came and helped out! It was AMAZING! I can't even tell you! It was so fun to see everyone and I just loved celebrating with everyone! We played this game where I had to open these gifts and then tell the story that had to do with that object, it was so fun! One was a ring and I got to tell our engagement story, a play cell phone with a facebook symbol on it and I got to tell about how Ryan and I's long distance relationship, there was a toy car that kind of looked like Ryan's Del sol and that story was how he drove across the country, and a picture of Brit and I cuz that's how Ryan and I met was through Brit (Brit jokes that she gets to take credit for our relationship lol) Everyone was so generous and we got some great things for our apartment, dishes, cleaning supplies, a bunch of stuff for our cruise (everything travel size and towels), bread pans and recipes, canisters, toaster, crockpot, shower catty thing that hangs on the shower head, shower gel and lotion, silverware, picture frames, a wok, pans, and more. Oh and my bff Rachel got me some lingerie. hahaha. It was funny because everyone was kinda chatting while I was opening gifts and then when I opened Rachel's gift everyone stopped and was like "OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!!! hahahahahha" ;) hahahahahahhaa So fun! The cake was so cute too (thanks Kristina) it was the game of Life design and the squares were personalized to Ryan and I. I'll try
I also have to thank my mommy and daddy!! The rest of the weekend I was home we were shopping and having fun! I miss them like crazy! We always have a good time being together. I'm so blessed to have wonderful parents that are my friends! It was so great to be with the family! Oh Faith not only helped pull together an amazing bridal shower for me as my maid of honor but she also was sick while doing it all! Dang she's amazing! I love her with all my heart! I'm so glad Heavenly Father answered all those prayers as a little girl when I pleaded for a little sister :) And dang he sent me the best: kind, smart, gorgeous, fun, and just over all amazing! AND on top of that he blessed me with two brothers and another sister!!! I think I take advantage of what I have and I need to stop that. Josh is growing up so much! He is the sweetest kid ever! I always miss his play by play stories and genuine laugh! Hannah, oh my goodness I miss that girls energy and her smile! I miss all of Nathan's hugs and overall cuteness!
Then this weekend my friend Makena and Chelsey threw me a bridal shower/bachlorette party. We had mocktails, played games, and went to go see When In Rome at the dollar theater. It was so great to be with all my girls. They had a fun time making me blush with all the lingerie I think. lol. I also got a book I'm excited to read, an apron, towels for our kitchen, and a beautiful picture frame. It was great!
Ryan also got together with Kevin, Rob, and Tyler. They went to Iggy's and did boy stuff. hahahahahahaha.
I'll write more soon. Gotta run to class!

I have a wonderful Daddy!
We found an apartment and signed the papers this last Friday! WOOHOO!! I can't tell you what a relief that is!!! Looking for apartments was.....RIDICULOUS!! As soon as I'd go to look at it they'd have an offer within an hour or two. Ridiculous!!!!! BYU has major issues with housing...or should I say the lack thereof...I would know I worked for housing this last summer, but I will keep myself from getting on that rant right now. hahahahaha.
Finding an apartment was great too cuz now it is so much easier to register for stuff because I actually know exactly what we need and what will FIT! (PS we are registered at Bed Bath and Beyond and Walmart for those of you wanting to know)
On to other things! My daddy is amazing I have to say! I think that I have gotten a little too caught up in all the decisions and stresses and forgot about all the "behind-the-scenes" assistance my daddy gives. He is so amazing! Not just because he is paying for the reception and all that, although I am EXTREMELY grateful to him for this and am in no way trying to diminish this amazing experience he is helping me to have. But he also has taught and prepared me throughout my life for this and may other experiences I have had and will continue to face. I knew that the man that my father approved of would be the one, hahahaha. Any of you who know my dad know why. I knew that my daddy would be in harmony with my Father in Heaven because that is one of the greatest lessons he has ever taught me. (That's also why I wasn't afraid to bring Ryan home :wink:)
Dang I'm such a lucky girl! I don't even know how I got so blessed to have such amazing people in my life!
THE INVITATIONS ARRIVED THIS WEEK! Now all the addressing begins. My parents are being so amazing and addressing them all so I can stay focused on school. Getting all the addresses for the guest list though was quite the task but we did it! I got the final address today!
As for Ryan and I's regular life outside of wedding planning. Ryan put a new big exhaust on his car a few weeks ago. It's WICKED LOUD! When you ride in the car sometimes your eardrums kinda vibrate. It's a weird feeling. We got to drive with the top off when we went mattress shopping in Draper and then went to dinner at a Filipino restaurant with some of Ryan's mission buddies in Salt Lake this last Saturday. It was loud but I can't deny it was WAY FUN!
OH! Ryan's mission buddy Kevin got engaged! We're so happy for Kevin and Em! We love them so much!
I think that's it for now...oh wait! Side thought. Ryan, Kevin, Em, and I were hanging out last weekend and we were talking about our stories and for any of you who don't know Ryan and I's story I'll write that in my next post cuz I'm a little short on time right now...anyways it wasn't until I told the whole story to someone (it's long...poor kevin and em sat through all of it...all the details and all. lol) Anyways, it wasn't till we told the whole story at once that the thought occured to me....okay it's really silly, but....My sweetie drove accross the country to be with me!!!! :D
I'm so lucky on so many levels! :)
lol
I'll try and write more often!
Hope everyone is well! Love y'all!
