oh my! we haven't updated you all in a while about the latest happenings in our lives. i'm sorry to say, but i have no pictures to post in this entry!
what is new though...well, we went to colorado this weekend for our last bridal shower. what an incredible blessing that was! thank you to my aunts sherri, kristy, julie, cathy, carrie, denise and michelle for helping throw this together! it was beautiful and so much fun! we really are blessed at all the wonderful gifts we received! zach and i got home last night and it took us over an hour to get everything out and put it away! it was fun to go through everything we got, and show zach. we also had SUCH a good time hanging out with my family. it's always so wonderful to hang out with them. we went and got drinks at the clubhouse my parents are members of, and then headed to mt fuji for dinner! it was fun to be around them, and laugh with them. i have an amazing family and i miss them all the time, so it's always so good to get out there and spend time with them!
the drive home was a little crazy, though. we saw some friends driving on 1-8- next to us from salt lake city which was pretty ironic. then, a bird nearly hit the side of our car which was a little scare for me, and to finish it off....a semi's tire popped right as we were next to it. it was so loud i thought it was ours! luckily we were safe, and nobody got hurt. :)
it feels good to be back in salt lake, and see our place become a home. on thursday night last week, i helped my friend tyffani decorate a wall at her place, and now we're official decorating buddies, so i'm excited to have her come help me with a wall in our living room! it's so fun getting stuff that we can decorate it with. its so hard to leave that place at night because i want it to be my home so bad! :) but only 2 more weeks here in utah, then i'm in colorado a week before the wedding! so it will fly by, i'm sure of it.
i've decided that it's time for me to work on my tan as much as i can before the big day! where did the time go, and where is the SUN? hopefully it will be more common to see in the next couple weeks, because i could use a little sun before wearing that white dress! we also need to go shopping for jamaica, which is ALWAYS fun. i'm excited to get zach a couple pairs of shorts and shirts, because he never buys anything for himself.
one thing that excites me about being a wife is the cooking i will be experimenting with. i got so many cookbooks from the bridal shower, and i can't wait to test our new recipes! my grandma also wrote down her recipes for me, and i caaaan't wait to go ahead and cook those. she is an AMAZING cook, fyi. so i'm looking for some cooking buddies here in salt lake, so let me know if you wanna have some cooking parties! :)
i'm really realizing that zach and i will be established here for a while. this is where God has us...in salt lake. it's feeling more and more like home, and i'm making more friends which is such a blessing because people really are essential in our lives. :) i always miss my family, of course...but i know that we're just a long drive away from each other (or even better--a short flight!) and i will always have them. so life is good, and i feel blessed to be a part of all God is doing here. i just want Him to be glorified in zach and i's marriage...and i am excited to see where He'll take us! all glory to God.
