Random Ramblings

I feel like all of my post have had to do something with my wedding coming up in 18 days and planning for it.

Here are some random things that have been going on:

+ It's so funny to me that this time last semester I thought nursing school was the hardest thing in the world and I was just trying to make it through alive. Now I love it more than ever and I'm hoping to tutor for it next semester.

+ I am obsessed with selling my things. It all started Sunday night. I decided to go through my clothes and pick out things I haven't worn in over a year. There were way to many things I found. I figured if I want to buy anything new soon, I could at least sell the things I am not wearing so I have money to start buying something that I KNOW I am going to wear. Especially for this spring season:) I never thought it would be going this good, only after 2 days! (and I still own a ton of clothes) 

+ When Eric goes into work at 11pm on a Wednesday night he works a night shift. So he gets off at work at 5am. Right when I leave for the hospital to go to 12-hour shift. (life of a nurse) So we trade off the car and he leaves me notes/treats in the car. Always get's me through the day :)

+ Watching Modern Family is a constant thing apart of our lives.

Earlier this week Eric and I got assigned our specific apartment number we'll be living in. We've gone out of our way three times this week to drive by our new home. True story.

+ We have been cooking A LOT together. We have counted 3 successful, delicious meals! (does that tell you how many weren't very 'successful'?) We're an awesome team cooking together and it's so much fun in the kitchen. 

+ All that's been on my mind lately is Vegas. 

That's basically what's been going on in life. Oh and my pathophysiology test this weekend....I only have 9 more days of actual class. We keep telling ourselves we can do this!

Bridesmaid Invites

I am so blessed to have these amazing women in my life! My sister, friends since high school, roommates who turn into best friends. Each one has a special place in my heart and has been there for me, especially in the past year!

Love these girls and I'm so excited to have them as my bridesmaids! 


I really wanted to personally make each bridesmaid an invitation to be in my wedding. I went to the craft store, dragging Eric with me (he's such a trooper), and bought all of these crafty papers, cutouts, flowers etc. I had a lot of fun making them and actually feeling crafty! 


One of the hardest decisions was choosing what the bridesmaids would wear! I had the look in my mind and we went to search for it. I don't know how many dresses/skirts we looked at. There were probably 15 potential good ones and it was a tough decision. But, with 5 weeks left, we chose one! 

Now to tackle the next dilemma.. flower arrangements! Who knew I would have trouble with flowers!? I can't decide!

Capturing Moments

Capturing Some Moments

Right after we called the LDS Temple to schedule a time to be sealed for eternity.
(We met up in-between classes on campus and found an empty study room to call together. haha)

Right after we put a contract in for an apartment together! 
The apartment we wanted and got! 

We got a little creative after we had an appointment with our engagement photographers.
We love our engagement photos. You can find some of them documented here.

Dress shopping for the first time!
4 different stores, probably 15-20 different dresses and I found one! 

Registering for wedding gifts... way too much fun! 


It has been such happy and exciting times! I am so blessed to be marrying this man. He has continually taught me so much, especially during our engagement. I learn more about myself and he helps me learn the kind of better person I want to be each day. I'm so excited to start our lives together and to continue to learn more about one another and capture all the moments in our lives!
