Sweet springtime is my time is your time is our time for springtime is love time and viva sweet love

This springtime really is love time. I feel like I have learned so much about love the past few months not only from my own relationship, but by learning of others'. Three of my friends are getting married this summer, which has provided ample opportunity for me to hear sweet stories of their love, lives, futures. It is truly a happy time. I thought I felt close Stephen months ago, but the last few weeks I have grown closer and closer to him than I could have ever imagined. I can't wait for us to start our new life together.

This springtime will be a time of union... This weekend was the first marriage springtime. My friend Marcie was married in the Salt Lake Temple to her fiance Graydon. Stephen and I went to their reception, it was so beautiful. Here I am with the lovely bride.


And a time of reunion... My best friend for years, Stephanie, threw a bridal shower for me this weekend. It was fun! Stephanie was a wonderful hostess and made a delicious breakfast for all of her guests. I am so happy I was able to see many friends that I don't see very often.

My family from the east coast will fly in for my wedding on the 30th. The wedding is drawing closer... Eleven days until I am sealed for time and all eternity to the most amazing man on the planet. I really do love him.


P.S. My cousin Garrett got engaged to his girlfriend Andrea, they will be married Aug 14th! Congratulations!

The Happiest Place on Earth!

Last week I joined the Stewarts on a family trip to Southern California. We spent two days in Disneyland and California Adventure and a day in Newport Beach. Nine of the ten of Stephen's nieces and nephews came along for the trip, and they LOVED it, it was so fun to watch them get excited about being in Disneyland. On almost all the rides we went on, Stephen tried to convince a niece or nephew to sit with us on the ride. He knew the songs to a lot of the rides and got really into some of them to try to get the kids scared/excited, it was really entertaining to watch. Stephen loves Disneyland, when we were sitting in the airport getting ready to fly back to Salt Lake City he was sad to have left, it was really cute.

We are so happy to be in Disneyland!

Justin and Traci on the pier in Newport Beach, Traci is expecting in September and I am convinced they will have the cutest baby ever!

I am really grateful to have the Stewarts as my future in-laws. They are the nicest people and are so much fun to hang out with. The wedding is 16 days away!
