6 Weeks Didn't Come Fast Enough!












After a lengthy 6 weeks apart Jeff and I finally got back together and it couldn't have come quick enough. As you can see I am very happy to finally have him back!!! Bad news for me, I didn't have any time for just "us" this weekend as we were too busy with all the wedding hoopla of meeting families etc. Not to say that was a bad thing because it most certainly was not but man... can a girl have some time alone with her fiance!!! Come on!!



We headed to Memory Grove for our Engagement shoot and seriously for all you people looking for a photographer, Shutterbugz was amazing!!! Both Jeff and I were absolutely ecstatic with the work that was done!! Then we headed to Ritz Tuxedos and Jeff was so convincing with talking me into having him wear a white tuxedo. All he had to do was try it on and I thought he looked so sharp I immediately gave in!! What a hottie! We then went to Temple Square and met Jeff's brother, Michael and his wife Katie. They look so much alike. Can you see?







Following that, yep, I know the day still wasn't over... we went bowling with his brother and my family. My little 15 month old niece even thought she would have a try at it... Seriously, how cute. Mom didn't get much bowling in. She let Natalie do it for her... now seriously Mom, you can't be that bad!!! We promise not to make fun of your score! We then headed home to eat dinner, enjoy the rest of the night playing Rockband and oh yeah.. its 9pm now and the day events still aren't over. We headed over to Michael's to play more video games and stay over! Man, can I have a moment alone with Jeff.... PLEASE!
Sunday comes and we headed to church to meet the Bishop and confirm the wedding with him. Then we were on our way to Lagoon to spend some fun time at half the price but we needed cash for parking. My mom has a scooter.. yes she's in her 50's and is driving around town on a mini-motorcycle! She's quite the woman I assure you! I love it! But she let Jeff and I take it on a mini ride to the bank and back. I think Jeff enjoyed it more than I since the first 10 seconds were spent thinking I was going to die. Now of course I loved it! Besides, its a great way to get close... ;) I'm so bad!














On our way to Lagoon and I hitched a ride!!! :) Jeff sure makes it easy not to have to walk! So I've come to the conclusion that amusement parks are only meant for kids or teenagers because this girl does not like waiting in lines. Even the fake smile on this picture proves it! But seriously the rides are fun but not like when you're younger. I kept thinking I'd rather be lying in a bed somewhere napping or watching a movie!! How sad am I. Jeff agreed so I guess it can't be that weird or can it? Okay so I'm a loser!


Moving on....

Look at my niece.. her eyes are so glazed over! Too much stimulation and snacking... but she loved every minute of it or so her parents forced themselves to think so they wouldn't feel like the worst parents in history! Lets face it she needed a nap! Oh and isn't this picture the greatest.. Jeff and I smashed her out of it!!! Poor kid!!!












So here we are in line for the Rattlesnake Rapids or whatever the ride is called and boring ourselves having to hear the recorded old man with his crickety old voice like 9 times! I'm sure they meant for us to only hear it once. Either that or they want us to have deja vu so we won't feel like we weren't waiting in line for over 45 minutes.. Even though we got soaked and enjoyed the ride... I still think the ice cream was my favorite part of the day. Yeah a double scoop of Dreyers Mint Chocolate Chip and the day was finally over and so was the weekend.
Tomorrow we pack up and head to my new home in Beaumont, Texas but I'm just excited to spend some time alone with Jeff... Finally!!!!
