Well, I was supposed to post some pics of our little MONSTER Tank last week, and forgot my camera at home all week.. LOL! So here they are finally! J
I last updated on Wednesday, so I don’t have a FULL week of updates! But there’s PLENTY to update none the less! J
Last Wednesday my wonderful sister did my nails, and some glitter toes for my bridal pictures this past weekend!! She did white glitter nails, and fuschia glitter toes! They looked awesome! J
Thursday, was SUPER chill too!! Dev and I just hung out at our house and relaxed!! I made my world famous meatloaf and we just watched a bit of TV! J
Friday I got up and went over to mine n Devs house bright and early to be with Tankers, and clean while Dev worked! Later that day, I went and got my ring cleaned, and also went tanning! Trying to make sure everything was good to go for my pictures Saturday (didn’t want any tan lines! Lol).. Dev got off work about 2ish, and did his FAVORITE thing ever… Mowed the lawn! LOL!! He did this, while my youngest sister practiced my make up for my bridals! J When I went over there first thing in the morning, I put some chicken and a bunch of other stuff in a crock pot for dinner that night! Later that night Dev and I just relaxed, watched The Lincoln Lawyer, and had some YUMMY chicken tacos! J FINALLY we got a nice, chill relaxing night!! Haha. Now that we are in August, those nights are gonna be pretty few and far apart!!! Yep, we only have 40 more days till the BIG day! J YAY!!
Dev went golfing bright and early Saturday morning with our friend Chris and his boss Adam, then he went and took a couple of his nephews swimming!! He is helping his nephew Tyler learn how to competitively swim! He had a lot of fun!!! Saturday was a LOOOOOOONG day for me, it was finally my Bridal pictures!! I was SO beyond excited to see my dress, jewelry, shoes, hair, make up, bouquet, EVERYTHING all together, I was finally gonna look like a BRIDE! J I got up at 6:45, and did MOST of my make up.. Then I headed to my hair appointment with my sister Danielle at 9, and got back home about 10:45! My youngest sister Jenny then did the rest of my make up while my mom went and picked up my bouquet from Aposhian Gardens.. I was SOOOOOOOO excited to see the bouquet they made, I was a little antsy! Well… Here is where things started to go south… My mom walked in, and the bouquet was NOTHING like I had imagined (or ordered for that matter), and NOTHING like the picture I gave the lady when we initially ordered the flowers.. For those of you that don’t know, our wedding colors are fuschia, black, white and silver.. The flowers we picked are Stargazer lilies, Fuschia roses, and White roses! Well, the bouquet they made had 3 TRUMPET lilies, and 6 white roses with TONS of greenery… Well, the trumpet lilies would normally be VERY pretty, BUT the thing is they aren’t the right color.. They were VERY small, and the centers appeared to be purple.. There was NO fuschia at all in the bouquet, and it just seemed super bland and boring.. At this point I started to get a little frustrated, and panicked.. The wedding was only 42 days away, and if these are the flowers they are planning to use for the big day, that just wouldn’t do.. At this point, its safe to say Bridezilla came out to play… LOL.. We were supposed to meet my WONDERFUL brother in law at the Capitol building to do my pictures at 12.. On the way we stopped by Flower Patch to see what they could do about my bouquet.. We waited about 10 minutes, and the WONDERFUL ladies at Flower Patch put me together the bouquet I had originally dreamed of!! It was SO beautiful!!! I started to calm down at this point, and we made it up to the Capital 5 minutes late, at 12:05.. PHEW not too shabby.. I ran in to the bathroom there at the Capitol to change in to my dress, and while I was in there broke TWO nails.. LOL.. Sheesh.. Could this day get ANY worse?!?! My sister rigged the broken nails on with some 2 way sticky tape.. Haha. And they worked for the day!! We spent about 3 ½ hours shooting pics ALL OVER the Capitol.. We were originally allotted 1 hour, but hey, nobody said anything so we just kept going! LOL!! We wrapped up the photo shoot (I CAN NOT wait to see the pics!! Steve only gave me a peek at 1! LOL!), then me, my mom and sisters went and visited my 95 year old Great Grandpa! J He is AMAZING, and it made me really happy to go see him. J He is such a special man!! He told me my Great Grandma would be SO proud of me, and she will be there in spirit on my wedding day. J That really touched my heart, and made me very happy. I always knew she would be, but hearing it from my Grandpa made it that much more special!! We spent a little time with my Grandpa, then headed home! We had a BBQ that night to meet my sister Danielles new “guy friend”.. LOL. That was A LOT of fun!! J He is a really good guy!! Later that night some of my wonderful family from Idaho came over to visit! It was really nice! I hadn’t seen them in a LONG time!! And I got to meet my cousin Desirae’s baby girl!! She is an absolute doll! J
And here is a picture of the RIGHT lily... HUGE difference! 
Sunday was a REALLY chill day as well!! J Dev went golfing again with our good friend Chris, and then we met at our house! We cleaned up the basement so we could stick Tank down there while we are gone so he has more room to run!! Then we just hung out, put a dinner in the crock pot again, watched a movie and relaxed!!! Now we are back at it!!! LOL! I swear, the days are flying by SOOO fast which is great cuz Im ready for the wedding to be here, I just wish the weekends would slow down a LITTLE bit more! Haha.. Well everyone, have a FABULOUS week!!!! J Happy Monday, and Happy August! ;)
