Prescott, Arizona's little secret....

Yes, the Golden Corral.  It is the best place I have ever eaten.  We used to go alot as a family when I was younger.  Steven kept telling me how much he wanted to go.  I kept saying no.  But then I remembered that they have an ice cream machine there.  Then I realized I can eat anything and everything I want there.  So we decided to go.  MMMMMMMMMMMMM:

Let us not forget....

the dessert section. 

Holy crap people.  Go to the Golden Corral.  It is my plan to save the current economic state of our country: if we all went to the Golden Corral and ate everything, we would help stimulate the economy. 

The Golden Corral. 

Because everyone deserves a good meal. Amen.

Sandwiches

So I made some wicked good sandwiches for lunch yesterday.  I was going to wait to eat with Steven on his lunch break, but soon realized that I had to be at the elementary school during his break.  So I ate mine, leaving two behind for Steven, plus a salad and chips.  I covered them up with a paper towel and left them on the counter.  I left fir school, did an antonym activity with the students THEN I get this text from Steven, way after his lunch break, asking me where the sandwiches were and another about how the sandwiches were gone, the paper towel was shreded all over the floor, and the chips were scattered across the counter.  He then went on to say 'sandwich' like 50 more times and then finally concluded that the dogs, Bear and Bella, got ON the counter (at least a 3.5 foot jump) and friggen ate them!  So that is a pretty funny story right?  THE BEST PART: Steven just ate the salad for lunch.  Didn't think to make himself another sandwich.  Then he complained about being hungry all afternoon.  He might be helpless. 

FEASTER WEEKEND...

Was an all inclusive, fun packed weekend. Friday, also known as Good Friday, but as April declared it her nationally recognized celebration of her birthday which got her the day off from work (has nothing to do with Jesus Christ, right...NOT). We went to the Valley and SHOPPED forever and ate some goood fooood.

Then, after stuffing our faces with food, I had another fitting for my wedding dress.  I felt like a fat ball of cake stuffed in my dress.  But it will turn out good. 

SATURDAY was the start of General Confrence.  I love General Confrence.  I love to hear the Prophet and Jeffery R. Holland.  But most of all I love the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.  

I have yet to see them in real life. The day that I do will be remarkable. I will cry such happy tears.

TODAY was/is Easter.  My awesome sister Emily and I call it Feaster.  For the first time, I actually feasted.  Breakfast was eggs and sausage, lunch was a BBQ with the Shepherd's. and dinner was a ham dinner with my family.  MMMM....after all of this, we decided to take a picture:

Our little family's first Easter:) 

Steven

Is sooooo flippin HOT.

I am a lucky lady.

We went to Mexico. Again

It was super fun and warm. We got so sunburned. But I DONT have pictures of that wonderful time, yet. But do not be discouraged. I have pictures of our run at the Peavine trail.

Before

The dock (obviously)

La Familia.

I look super tan, but I am bright red

We were smyesing

Oh, and it is 70 days till the wedding!  My dress is in Gilbert (finally, it was ordered on black friday....thanksgiving...thats 5 months) and I get to have my first fitting tomorrow. I am a teeny bit excited.  I am going to pick out my veil and such also.  thank heavens for a strapless swimsuit so I wont have awful tan lines when I try it on.  Instead, I have peeling flesh.  Whatever.  I am happy.

Yesterday

was February 27th.  It was our 7 month anniversary AND exactly 3 months to our wedding...now yall see why we are getting married on a 27th:) That means it is a whole 88 days until the wedding day!  Lots of things have happened that have made us so much happier; made this experience of wedding planning more enjoyable.  OOOOHH and the honeymoon will be in Hawaii which is so desireable after waking up to snow outside, again.  HURRY UP TIME!

today. and yesterday

Today marks 110 days left until our wedding day.  I am so darnd excited.  Its pretty cool that the temple is already perfect inside...or so I hear...because everyone keeps asking me if it is difficult to plan a wedding when the 'venue' is in Mesa. Um. It couldn't be easier?  My sister Emily is brilliant and awesome and making the invites.  Mollie is the bestest furtographer ever.  And since my mother is a seasoned professional when it comes to reception planning, this has been a breeze!

Speaking of Mollie, brings me to yesterday.  We got our engagment fotos taken in downtown Prescott.  Mollie even got props!! It was super fun, minus my mom telling me that I look like a fat cow or something.  The best part?  Pretending it was warm and wearng short sleeves and sandals when it was actually 40 degrees outside. molliephoto.blogspot.com  and/or molliephoto.com

She has no idea that I have this photo.
