3 Days 'Til Europe

It's almost here and I don't feel ready! I'm very excited, but I want this trip to be as good as it can be!! That means making sure I pack everything, get all the information printed that needs to be printed, and run final errands in Utah.

We had a few business visits here in Utah with global companies. We went to Rio Tinto, Kennecott Copper and Alsco (the laundry company). We are visiting those companies in Europe, so our professor wanted to have us compare how business works here versus over there...even though they are the same companies.

After, we had homemade ice cream sandwiches at Professor Godfrey's house and just had a final meeting before we leave.

Wedding Dress

I am about 95% positive that I have found my wedding dress!! It's taking a lot of constraint to not post any pictures, but it's going to be worth the big surprise! It's strapless at the moment so it has to be altered anyway, so the pictures aren't even completely accurate.

This was probably one of the more stressful aspects of this wedding planning. Being completely honest...shopping/finding dresses for big events was never a good experience for me. I'm not a size 2 and it's hard to find a dress that makes me feel comfortable not being a size 2...make sense? I'm so happy I found this dress that makes me feel absolutely beautiful! I love it :) Love love love it! I wanna go back and try it on every day! haha

Time to prep for my departure on Friday!!
Happy Sabbath :)

I Already Miss Him

It's only been 15 hours since I dropped Dave off at the airport and this wouldn't be so difficult if it wasn't 68 days until I see him again. He landed safely in Washington where he will spend the next 28 days playing army and getting evaluated. This evaluation will factor into what branch he gets to pick, so you know I'm praying for him!

Dave won't admit it, but I'm slowly getting him to like country music. Mwahahaha I started more with the pop-country genre like Rascal Flatts and Lady Antebellum. However, there's one song that he LOVED by Carrie Underwood that seems fitting (I've been listening to it all day):

He sings the ohhhh ohhhhh ohhhh parts. haha I can't wait to go to Europe! It doesn't help my sadness case that he's off doing his thing and I'm still in Provo for another week. That's why I'm having a slumber party with Julie tonight and trying on pretty dresses tomorrow :) Anywho, that is all for now! Happy Friday!

Tomorrow, My Life Will Begin

I'm kind of obsessed with this movie and this song. It's how I feel about my summer...when is that going to begin! TOMORROW at 6:30pm. My final is scheduled at 5pm. I've already taken two today and I'm powering through my substance abuse study guide for tomorrow right now. After all my finals I have about a list of 100 things to do before I leave for Europe...including brushing my hair, laundry, mop, sweep, and stretching, but nothing as cool/fun as candle making or puzzles. Lame I know.

Countdowns:
Dave leaves in 2 days :'(
9 days until I'm on a plane to London (KAYCE FACE GETS BACK FROM LONDON TONIGHT!)
185 days until my wedding day! (I wasn't allowed to take my ring [Dave's rules since he did pay for the rock] to Europe so I had to depart with it last weekend until I get home...serious withdrawal!)

For those not taking finals...go watch Tangled for me. You have full permission to dance around the room during the song too. :) Happy Wednesday!

Done With Spring

I'm finally done with classes until fall semester!! It's crazy to think spring semester has already flown by and I leave for Europe in less than 2 weeks! I went home for the weekend and now I have 3 finals ahead of me, but I still have a lot to do to get ready for my trip. Lots to get organized. Lots to remember to pack. Lots to move. So I'm not completely stress free.

Some exciting news! I have my first bridal dress appointment on Saturday :) Just thought I would go and take a look. It's my present to myself after finals are over. :) Also, Dave leaves on Friday and I probably won't see him for close to 2 months so...the dress shopping is my plan to boost my mood that I'll probably be in. haha

Lets see...it hasn't been all that interesting around here. Sorry for the lame post with no pictures. This blog will definitely be more excited in 10 days!! (Just bought a ticket for the Warner Bro. Studio tour in London! Any Harry Potter fans be jealous and check it out here!!)

I guess that's all for now! Happy Monday :)

Movies

Dave just sent me this...he thinks I fall asleep while we watch movies or something. I have no idea what he's talking about! haha. OK OK so I've seen the first 10 minutes of a lot of movies, but at least I'm not sleep deprived. I do hate when I fall asleep, but I've given up trying...it's exhausting ;)

Huguely Weekend

Tootsie and Pop have come and gone way too quickly! Here's how our weekend went and pictures to follow.

They came in late Friday night and we just went and grabbed some Zupas. By that point it was 12am east coast time and they were ready for bed.

Saturday we woke up and got Kneaders French Toast since that's apparently what we always do when family comes to visit :) Then Dave participated in the Dirty Dash which took up most of the day. Then it was time for Tucanos since we apparently do that also every time someone comes to Provo.

Sunday we went to Music and the Spoken Word in SLC. Then we had brunch at the Marriott. We headed back to Provo took a walk around the stream south of campus. After, we went back to their hotel hung out and played some board games and made a hamburger dinner. Then, Dave had to work so we called it a night and parted ways. Then I drove them to the airport the next morning.

Doesn't seem like a lot, but man, this weekend tired me out! Ok, picture time.
