Wow. If this is what life is going to be like until the wedding, then I better get use to my head spinning 24/7.
On Tuesday my mom flew in for the week. I was so excited to have her come help with all the final wedding touches. Austin & I were scheduled to take bridals that day but as luck would have it, a nasty dust storm blew in causing a haze to set over the Utah Valley... so we rescheduled our pictures. Instead I spent the day running around Salt Lake City trying to find one more bridesmaid dress, shoes for the bridesmaids and get the key to my cousins house. Let me just say, the shoes we found are amazing! I want to own a pair myself... guess I will just have to steal my sisters once the wedding is over ;D
We also spent Tuesday night stuffing hundreds of invitations that were mailed out on Wednesday. If I do say so myself... they turned out awesome!! I was so happy with the results but never want to print from ProDigital again.
Wednesday was devoted to school, but on Thursday we were back to running around finding candy, ribbon, picking out a cake and presents for my bridal shower hosts.
Friday Austin, my mom & I ran around to different distribution centers getting me all ready for the temple :D After getting all my stuff I am sooo excited to be going through the temple in a week. I know it will be a very special day. Once we had everything we needed we were off to Logan for the weekend.
Saturday was the big day, my family bridal shower! It was so fun seeing everyone that I hadn't seen since the 4th of July and getting marriage advice from them all. My Aunt Lorie bought me a little book that she passed around and had everyone write down marriage advice.
Here are some pictures from the party...
2 Generations: Grandma Annie, Mom & Me!
The bedding I wanted from Target, Thanks Mom! And can't forget the decorative pillow!
My Aunt Christine (who had to work and couldn't make it to the party) sewed these awesome dish towels. I absolutely love them!
It's a horrible pictures but I had to show off these amazing candlestick holders that my mom surprised me with. I had eyed them while I was home for Thanksgiving and she found some for me to have so I didn't have to steal hers :D
Great Grandma Timpson, Grandma Wendy, Me & Mom - I was happy they made it
My Aunt Jenny who is basically my Utah mother. She is awesome and got me the cutest brown & pink polkadot apron along with a blender and measuring cups!
The wonderful hosts of the party, Jenny, Grandma & Lorie
Sunday we were back down for SLC for the morning session of conference. My mom had never been to conference so it was exciting to go with her along with Austin & his grandparents who live in SLC. After conference we headed to the Horsley's for a nice easter dinner and an enjoyable rest of conference. It was so nice to hear from the leaders of the church and the council they gave on families. Where Austin & I are about to start our own family, it really put into perspective the things we need to be preparing for. It also made me excited to start a family of my own :)
Overall it was a CrAzY busy weekend but we accomplished sooo much! As I mentioned earlier we had to reschedule our bridals for another day, well tomorrow is that day and guess what.... it's snowing!! surprise, surprise. I think sometimes the Lord has an interesting sense of humor. Oh well.... I guess we will make the best out of a snowy situation.
Also, while we were up in Logan, Austin's sister-in-law Nell had been told from the doctor that she would most likely have her baby over the weekend. Well after a few false alarms, she gave birth to Brooklyn Diane Horrocks at midnight on Sunday! That means I have another soon-to-be niece :D
