Quick Update!

We are so busy with wedding plans. They are coming along but they are sure keeping us busy. We are so excited for the day. Ryan won't let me forget how many days away we are (just so you know...3o is where we are at here on this Mother's Day)!!! My life is trying to find normal but it is taking time. But what is normal when you are planning for the biggest day in your life and it won't be normal after that to plan for that sort of event!?! I wanted to give a shout out to my wonderful mother tonight. I made it all the way through the day which I thought was going to be hard. I am so thankful for the gospel we have. I know without a doubt that I can still be with her and that she is always with me no matter what. She has an influence in what I do in my life and I am so grateful that I have that knowledge. I love you so much, MOM! I miss you terribly as does everyone else. (But not as much as I do :) ) Happy Mother's Day!!!! You are wonderful!

That's all for our update....oh watch out for announcements in the mail. If I have your address, they should be out this weekend!!!! YAY!!!!
Love to all!

Updates...

Life is finding a normal and getting caught up a little bit. We did have a nice night out on the town. We went to Macaroni Grill. There we saw my friend Jeanette Greenlee. She is amazing. She sang to us and gave me the most beautiful flower that has now fully bloomed. It's beautiful. Ryan also gave me flowers. We went to the National Guard Ball at the State Capitol. We danced a whole 3 dances. We wanted a photo taken and we ended up waiting about an hour for our picture to be taken. It was fun night. We had so much fun being together and not having any concerns of life at all.
Thanks Ryan for a wonderful night!

Tribute to my MOM!!!

This is my mom and I the night I got engaged! It was such a special event to have her there for. She is the most incredible woman I know of. She is my Super-MOM! She is always there for me and is my confidant. I tell her everything. She is the best example I have in my life. She is my best friend. Life isn't always fair to us but I know that no matter what happens, she is always going to be my amazing mother. I can't wait for the Second Coming to arrive so that I can see her again. I know she is near all the time and will influence me the rest of my life. I love her with all my heart and can't wait to see her again!

I LOVE YOU, MOM!!!!

4 Months of Dating...3 1/2 months till wedding!

Today we are celebrating 4 months since we started dating! Time flies! We attended the Draper Open House officially and enjoyed every minute of it. We even got to listen to my seminary teacher play at the church afterwards. Bro. McDonald was amazing! What a way to top off the tour!!! I say we attended it officially because Ryan and I got to clean the temple a couple of weeks ago and take our own self-guided tour. That was neat to do together but he had/has the advantage over me because I haven't been through the temple yet. But it still was a neat experience both times. I am so excited for June 10 to get here so we can go through that temple together! I am so excited for our lives together! The Draper Temple is our place to go and enjoy being together even if right now it's inside the car in the parking lot. This temple will be our temple and I am so excited!!!

Family Night at the Bartlett's

Ryan and I went to Amanda and Shawn's for dinner and family night. First Ryan had to go to his single's ward family night, then he joined us. We had cooked mac n cheese and brownies and he stole them out the kitchen window and didn't say anything. He came running in and greeted me with a huge kiss. When Amanda went to serve the food, it wasn't there. We reacted to that and he didn't react. Then I realized that he had taken the food. We all called him names. We teased him for a while. Then we sent him out to the car and he had the food.

This is him after we found out. So we had him do it again for pictures! What a funny guy!

CELINE DION!!!

My family bought Celine Dion tickets for Christmas in 2007. She cancelled her concert because of sickness in November 2008. So Sunday night we attended the concert which was electrifying! We had so much fun! We were sad it was on a Sunday night but when you have had the tickets for a year and she's your favorite, you gotta go! We had fun! Thanks dad for the tickets! It was awesome!!!
