Well, another week has past! And it’s another week closer to the wedding! YAY!! We are actually down to 45 days today!! I can’t wait!!! July has flown by SO fast! I hope August keeps the same pace! J I forgot my camera cord today, so unfortunately I won’t have any pictures to post.. So this is a pictureless blog update! Haha. I will bring my cord, and upload pictures tomorrow (even though there aren’t many this week)..
The past week was EXTREMELY busy for Dev and I!! Last Monday when I left off, I put up pictures of the ADORABLE little Chihuahua puppy we were “fostering” for a couple days.. Well, after I updated my blog, my Grandma went to mine n Devs house, picked her up and returned her to her owners.. L It was sad!! And I missed her lots that night, but realized it was for the best.. Dev and I had our hearts set on a BIG dog since I have never had anything bigger than a 12 pound dog.. LOL.. And Dev wanted a doggie to do things with!! So we would wait and our perfect dog would find us! J
Tuesday I had my first fitting for my dress! WAHOO!! I was so excited to go put it on!! We got to the store and I slipped it on! I wasn’t over the moon excited with the way I looked in it (hey, its safe to say MOST girls aren’t once bridezilla-isms set in.. lol). They had to take it in, in the chest region.. I am lacking in that department unlike my busty younger sisters.. Sigh… LOL.. I got to mine n Devs house that night to Dev and our GREAT friend Chris assembling our new BBQ.. For those of you who know Dev, you KNOW that man is all about BBQ-ing.. So it was a matter of time before he had his own grill!! I’m surprised he made it THIS long.. LOL… I (being the dog lover, puppy wanter I am) was browsing KSL, when I came across the CUTEST little mutt puppies EVER.. They were a boxer/golden retriever mix, and $50. They were ADORABLE.. There was a little one listed with the name “Sparky” and he instantly stole my heart, as well as Devs.. Dev (being the amazing dog loving, puppy wanting fiancé he is) picked up the phone and called to see if the little dude was still available.. Come to our surprise he was, AND (I call this part fate.. lol) the owners were coming down to Salt Lake from Ephraim Thursday for the Journey concert!! Well we were SOLD! Dev told them we definitely wanted the little stud named “Sparky” and we would meet them Thursday to get him! YAY!! And so it begins… Hahaha..
Wednesday I met Dev at our house after work.. We had errands GALORE to run.. We went and got some tiki torches for our back yard.. No joke can’t even sit out there 5 minutes without being eaten alive by our Jurassic park sized mosquitoes.. ICK!! They are horrible.. I am COVERED head to toe in bites.. These suckers can get ya through sweat shirts and all!! The joys of living close to the Great Salt Lake, AND being surrounded by horses.. LOL! We were having some friends over this weekend, so we needed to do something to prevent everyone from needing blood transfusions from these beasts! LOL!! From there we went to Petsmart.. We got our little monster a few chew toys, doggie dishes, a harness and leash, and the special doggie food Dev researched.. Haha. He is SO stinkin cute with this dog!! And he was before we even got him.. J I lucked out finding a guy who loves dogs as much as I do! ;) We then went to do some grocery shopping, then home to relax!! PHEW!
Thursday was a tough day… I had ZERO focus or motivation at work.. I was too dang excited to meet our little puppy!!! Dev had spoke to the lady the night before, and they agreed to meet out at Ikea at about 3, and the lady would call when they were on their way. Dev usually gets off work at 2:30, but he was WAY too excited as well, so he snuck out a little early! LOL.. He went to our house, changed and waited for the phone call.. Well 3 o’clock came around, and no call.. He got really antsy (as did I).. So we waited, and waited.. And the call FINALLY came in a little after 3:30.. We headed up to meet the peeps and pick up our pooch! LOL! We got there, got out of the car and saw our little (huge) dude.. Dev bent over and the pup ran to Dev and instantly started to play.. Aww.. It was love at first site.. Haha.. We headed to my house and showed him off to my fam, then took him to his new home.. Here is the pic listed on KSL of our new baby rightfully named TANK! J
Friday was another busy day!! I ran errands ALL DAY long, and headed to the house to clean it top to bottom.. As well as spend time with Tank! J We then headed up to Devin’s parents to help in their backyard for a bit as they were getting sod the next day!
Saturday Dev headed to his parents house BRIGHT AND EARLY to help with the sod! I had a hair appointment at 9 to get a color, cut and trial run for my bridals! I LOVE what my stylist did with my hair.. She is amazing!! And I can’t wait to see my dress, hair and make up all come together this Saturday for my bridals!! Makes it all seem SO real, and SO close!! J After my appointment I headed up to Dev’s parents to help finish up the sod.. We got it all completed, and only had one casualty.. Within 5 minutes of me being there, I OF COURSE was stung by a stupid bee… LOL.. Leave it up to me to have something go wrong so quick!! LOL!! We headed home from there, got ready and went to Devs uncles birthday party for a few minutes, then went to a BBQ/Bee’s game with my fam for my Dads work party! It was a good time!! The Bees KILLED the other team.. It was actually a fairly boring game since it wasn’t close at all.. LOL.. But there were fireworks at the end of the game, and those were AWESOME!! We had killer seats almost right underneath the fireworks, so that was a lot of fun!! J
Sunday was a very chill day.. At last… LOL. We did some grocery shopping, and spent the day relaxing with Tank, and watching movies!!! We went back to my house for our Sunday dinner, and stuffed 300 invites.. LOL.. That was a lot of work!!! But again, made it all seem so real! It was exciting!! J
Monday my mom finished up an AMAZING card box for the wedding!! She is SO AWESOME!!! The box is super pretty! I can’t wait to show it off at the wedding.. I will put up pics tomorrow!! We then went and picked up my dress! YAY!! It fit like a glove this time around!! J Its now waiting patiently at home for me to wear! ;)
Tuesday I woke up not feeling well at all!!! I think I must have had the 24 hour flu.. I got ready, and headed in to work thinking it would pass, and no such luck.. I got SUPER sick at work, and eventually headed home.. I went to mine n Devs house to sleep, and be with Tank!! Let me tell ya, its HARD to sleep and be sick with a 6 week old, hyper puppy that just wants to play! Haha.. Kinda glad we got him now, before we get married and have babies!! LOL!! I slept ALL day, and Dev got off work and took Tank to the vet.. He is healthy as a horse (literally.. the vet said he is gonna be one big boy.. lol) and we relaxed! Now I’m back to the daily grind, with one more day in my week.. Ahh.. I know, its tough being a state worker sometimes.. LOL! ;)
I will post some pictures tomorrow of our new family member.. Hope you all have a great rest of the week, and weekend! J
