6 weeks

This is almost unreal to think, but 6 weeks from this Friday will be our wedding. We have come a long ways from the beginning of the semester. This Saturday also marks the one year anniversary of Addi and my first date together. We look forward to reenacting our first date on Saturday night. It will be great to be together and remember our great times we have had over the past year. I love Addi so much and I look forward to further years together with her. Another note, in regards to wedding prep, today is the day we expect to get our invitations from the printers. We are ever hopeful that they turn out alright and that the sending part goes quickly and easily. It is so exciting that this is happening. I can't wait to be with Addi all the time.

Car Trouble

Wow!! What a crazy week. So my fiance and I have been doing some serious homework on purchasing a car for the both of us to share once we get married. We finally got the exact car we wanted and decided to go ahead and buy it. We got all the money together and Addi went with her mom to the seller's address. She got the car in her possession and was filling up with gas, when a man noticed that the car was leaking just below the gas thing. She became frantic as she couldn't get ahold of me when she discovered that the gas was the fluid leaking out of the car. Eventually I spoke with her and she took the car back to the seller. The seller was very gracious and took the car back no questions asked. He was concerned for Addi's safety and well-being. He then said he had a friend of his that was a mechanic who he would have look at the problems and then we could decide whether it was still worth the purchase or not. That is where we stand now. We have not heard back from the seller anymore than him saying that the car will be looked at. It has been a wild ride, but we hope and pray that it gets resolved very VERY soon.

Spring Break

This past week we were in sunny/windy St. George, Utah, enjoying a nice relaxing weekend. Actually, vacation is never relaxing or easy. We were always busy doing something, such as a hiking, watching movies, visiting Addi's friends from Dixie, or going someplace to eat. We had a lot of fun together. The highlights included hiking Angels Landing in Zions National Park, hiking the DIXIE rock, visiting with Addi's friend Cammile and her fiancé Danny, playing with Aloalofa, Nikki's baby, and just being with Addi. It was fun to drive home with Addi. The drive to St. George isn't as bad as I previously remember. I really had a great trip over Spring Break. I hope that the rest of the semester goes by as fast as our Spring Break trip did. I want it to be MAY!!

Down payment, car for sale, and Spring Break

This week has been pretty crazy. We have been preparing for our upcoming spring break plans by checking a bunch of items off of our to do list. The biggest thing we did was Addi agreed to sell her baby, Bumble Bee, her car she has had for almost seven years. We have been scouring the internet and car dealerships to find our next auto and we look like we have found our car. That purchase will come along in the next few days or so. We also put our down payment on our rent this weekend. We are happy to have that little piece set for us to move in at the beginning of May, after finals week. I am looking forward to being with Addi all day, every day. We have our spring break time this week and I am looking forward to going out of town for a few days, hopefully to catch some sunshine. I am excited for all the things that are coming up. See everybody next week. :)

Getting Dressed

This weekend was full of wedding preparations and getting some of the bigger items left on our list out of the way. The tasks we took on this week were getting Addi's dress jacket fitted, getting the flowers paid for, and purchasing my suit for the wedding. We went together to The Perfect Dress just off Fort Union Boulevard for Addi's dress fitting. She was incredibly anxious to get there and I can understand why. The store was a zoo, packed with girls trying on every type of dress for every occasion. It was hectic, but once we got everything worked out it was nice to get back to other things. Addi finalized the purchase of the flowers on Monday. I went to Mr Mac downtown to get my suits. I had a wonderful experience with Rob, the suit expert, @ Mr Mac. He helped us out and made the suit purchase so simple. I was really impressed. This next week we are looking forward to getting ready for a bit of a break from the run around with spring break looming on the horizon. We look forward to being able to relax and potentially catch a few rays.

Working out the kinks

This week has been pretty fun. We have done so many things that I can't really focus on one particular thing. We did some more things on our registry, got our flowers worked out, went suit shopping, and looked into getting ready for picture-taking. I was happy yesterday when I was assured that everything is going to be taken care of in regards to cost for the wedding. It has taken some time and a lot of shed tears, but the fact is that there is so many things that are being finalized that it is a real relief now that things are slowly coming closer to the wedding date. I am so excited to get it all done! :)

Cupcakes

This week we had the opportunity to go to the cupcake shop called So Cupcake to taste the difference between their most highly famed cakes. We tried the red velvet, vanilla, raspberry lemon, cinnamon sugar, and their Hostess cupcake. We came to the decision that we wanted to have the cinnamon sugar and raspberry lemon cakes for our wedding cake. We are very excited to have these cakes decided on and out of the way. It was a fun time with Addi.
