Here are some pictures from the wedding and honeymoon

Finally an update!

I honestly don't think I could be any worse at keeping this blog update! We are down to the last 2 days until the wedding, and I can't even begin to tell you how crazy we have been. I have been doing all of the planning for decorating, music, timing of everything, and Dave has focused on the food and the cake. He is actually going to make our wedding cake, and I know it is going to be absolutely amazing!!! He has been working so hard at getting everything all planned out, but today is the big day for him to actually begin making it. His boss is going to help him with it, and doing all of the food for the reception. I am so excited to see how it turns out. I will post pictures as soon as I get some.

Caleb cannot wait for the wedding, that is all he talks about lately, but I think it's cute. He is going to wear a little tux and be the ring bearer.
Some of my brothers are going to be coming and I am so excited to see them!! Especially my almost 3 month old niece that I haven't gotten to see yet! Dave has family also coming into town, some he hasn't seen in over 10 years. I think it's going to be an crazy weekend.
We will be heading to San Diego on Sunday for 5 days. Both Dave and I are so excited for it. Neither one of us has been on a vacation in years. I can't wait to see the beach!!! I will get on after the wedding and honeymoon to post some pictures and update everyone on how it went, I am praying that nothing too horrible goes wrong. I have been stressed to the max and I am not sure if I could handle anything else :)

Update

So I guess I will update you on what has been going on in my life. We had an amazing Halloween. Caleb dressed up as a Vampire, and I think he looked like the best one I have ever seen. We went and Trick or Treated in Dave's Mom's neighborhood. There were so many great houses to go to. There were 4 or 5 houses that were completely decorated with fog and real characters all over, some of them were actually pretty scary. I'm still not sure who had more fun me or Caleb.
The wedding planning is coming along slowly. I found my perfect dress in Las Vegas. I ended up putting it on layaway and should have it paid off by the end of November. We are planning a trip to Vegas with Dave's Mom and Step-Dad to pick it up and we are going to go play a little bit. The dress is spaghetti strap, white, it only has one place with beading and it is on the bodice that goes up to one of the straps. It is really hard to describe. My main focus with this wedding has always been the dress, since with my first wedding I didn't much care for my dress. I can't wait for my bridal pictures.
The next thing in our list of many to do's is Caleb's birthday. I can't believe that my baby is going to be 5 years old. I know everyone says it but it's true, time just flies by. Caleb celebrated his birthday with his Dad and the Peterson family last weekend, and we will do it with our family this upcoming weekend. We plan on doing it at either the house or the park, I will post pictures after it's over. He is so excited to be 5 years old. Dave will be making Caleb's cake, he has already put quite a bit of time figuring out what he wants to make. I can't wait to see how it turns out.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot. I got a new job at a doctors office. Do hearing tests, and fit people with hearing aids, we mostly work with the elderly and since I have worked there I have a new appreciation for them. Not that I didn't appreciate them before, I just see a different side of it all now. I couldn't ask for a better job. I love my job, my boss and his wife are amazing people and have the kindest hearts. Well that's enough babbling from me. I will update after the birthday and post some pictures.

ENGAGED

Yup that's right, I'm engaged. I can't even begin to say how excited I am about it. Dave and I have been dating for almost a year. I had a suspician that it might happen soon, it really couldn't have been anymore perfect. Dave and I decided that we wanted to go camping over the Labor Day weekend, but it was supposed to be raining pretty bad down here, however we were going to tough it out and just pitch a tent, but the night before we were going to do it the storm was crazy hard and I chickened out. We ended up renting a cute cabin up in Pine Valley, it was so cozy. After we got up there and got settled we decided to go on a little hike, which didn't last too long because we thought it was going to rain and we were not prepared for that so we went back to the cabin and decided to cook dinner. I had made hobo dinners the night before. They were so yummy we just cooked them over the BBQ thingy :) There was a large family next to us that were pretty noisy but we did our best to ignore them and cooked smores that were super messy. Soon the sun was down and it was dark, the stars were out and there was a full moon. As soon as it got quiet Dave stood up and said I have something I want to talk to you about. He than got down on one knee and popped the question. I don't think that it could have been anymore perfect.

We have decided to get married on May 22,2010. There is so much planning to do and unfortunately I don't have anyone to really help me with it. I mean I have some of my family, but they are all up north and most of them pregnant and have their own planning to do, I am so excited for them though :) We have pinned down the location and the colors. I have decided that I am going to handmake all of the centerpieces and other decorations for it since we won't be able to afford to spend much. Dave and I came to the decision that we would like to keep it pretty small and only invite close family and friends.

We are going to get our engagement pictures done on Wednesday up in Pine Valley by a friend of mine that I think is amazing. I can't wait to see how they turn out, one of the locations is going to be the cabin that we got engaged at, should be pretty special. I can't wait, even though I hate having pictures of me taken. I will post some pictures when I get them.

Life in the slow lane...

We have officially hit our slow season at work and I am going absolutely crazy. I don't see much point to going into work when there is close to nothing to do. We have on average lately had 2 maybe 3 check in's a day, and there is only so much that you can do to keep yourself entertained, however, soon enough we are going to be so busy I am not going to know how to keep up. October is when the hotel picks up because we have the Senior games going on. There are already entire weeks that we are completely sold out. Should be fun. So until than I am just going to sit at work and imagine the busier days.LOL. I am however pretty excited for my trip up north on the 21st. I am going to see my brother and sister-in-law that just got back not too long ago from Australia so I am looking forward to that.
That is mostly what has been going on in my life. Caleb gets started in preschool starting on the 17th. He is pretty excited about that. He misses the deadline for Kindergarten this year, but I think that is probably a good thing. I would prefer him to be older in his class than younger, besides by than hopefully his attention span will have increased.
Dave is just working as usual, and taking care of Caleb while I am at work. Its been amazing to watch his relationship with Caleb grow everyday. He has done an amazing job at stepping into the Dad role. I am very proud of him for stepping up to the plate, even when he didn't have to.

Our 4th of July.

We all had a pretty great 4th of July. Caleb spent it with his Dad, who came down to St.George, and Dave and I spent our together for the most part. I don't know how I got lucky enough to get the weekend off but I did. Dave had to work until about 1, so I went to the park and hung out with his family who had a booth there selling popsicles, than went and picked Dave up after he got home from work. We had a double date planned for that evening. We met up at my house and had dinner than went and watched fireworks at the park and met up with another friend of ours and his girlfriend; after that was over we came back to our house and lit off some of our own. They were fireworks that I had gotten from my parents a couple of years ago and had forgotten that some of them were illegal. Oops...we lit a couple of them without realizing that they were. Oh well. Caleb spent the day at the park with his Dad, cousin Sami (his very best friend), Aunt Staci, Cousin Maddi, and Grandpa. I was walking around the park and ran into them which was fun. He had his face painted like a cheetah and was about to go play on all of the rides and water things they had there. He had a great time seeing all of them.
