I'M GETTING MARRIED!!!


So on October 24th, exactly 364 days since mine and Jordan's first date, Jordan popped the question!!!!!! Yes it finally happened!!! After a year of uncertainties, a few break ups, and me almost submitting my mission papers, we decided to get married. I'll admit at times it was really hard for me to be patient, which is why we broke up a few times, but it was soooooooo worth it!!! Jordan and I have learned so much over the past year and we wouldn't have had it happen any other way. We are so excited to be married in the ABQ New Mexico Temple on December 19th 2009!! And we are looking forward to building a life together and learn even more about each other. I love you Jordan!!


Ok, planning a wedding has been quite different then I expected, and its been an adjustment.
An apartment...
So once Jordan and I decided we were going to get married I immediately started looking for a place to live, MAN it was stressful!! married housing is expensive, and good apartments are few and far between. However, after a lot of searching we were lucky to find a good one!! Its a little more pricey than what we wanted, but it is furnished, which will be very nice!!! We are excited to have our own little apartment together. Jordan even bought a picture of Christ to hang up and books to put on our book shelf, he's so cute :)
A Dress....
Oh boy, finding a dress was soooooo stressful!!! I went to about five places to try on dresses and tried on about 20 at each place! I hated almost all of them, and the ones that I kinda liked were WAY over priced!! I can't believe how much someone will charge for a dress you'll only wear once! Well one day I was looking online and I found the exact dress that I wanted for $170!! it was almost too good to be true! the only problem is that its from a little company in China, so I'm a taking a huge risk trusting them to make it right and trusting it will get here on time. I really hope it works out!!!

Honeymoon...
So Jordan's dad promised all of his kids that if they get married in the temple he would send them to Hawaii for a week!!! So we're going to hawaii for our honeymoon and I am sooooo excited!! Its going to be a perfect break from the cold weather here in Utah.
Registering...
Jordan and I had so much fun registering, in face I think Jordan had more fun than I did. We registered at Target and Bed Bath and Beyond, I hope we get some good stuff.
My Ring...
So I am currently wearing a plastic ring because Jordan is designing the real one. He said it should be done in a few weeks and I can't wait!!
