Where has this month gone? It's hard to believe that it's almost July! Life is moving too fast this summer! Scott and I are both extremely busy, which is adding to the incredible speed that our lives have taken on. Our daily lives have become overwhelming, full of organized chaos that seems to be taking over. We are now one week away from moving into our new apartment! My, already small apartment, is becoming even smaller as their are now boxes every where! I have given up on cleaning it, as it's just too hard to keep a boxed fill apartment any thing but messy! After moving nearly every year since I've been out here (I did a 2 year stay at the same apartment in Fort Collins) I am becoming a pro at packing boxes. However, this year is slightly different, as we are merging 2 house holds into one! Questions of who dishes are we going to use, do we keep certain things knowing that we will probably be getting a replacement for them after the wedding, do we donate the boxes of stuff that we just don't need any more or try to sell them have been coming up in our nightly conversations. Though time is on our side, I have 3 weeks after we move to be completely out of my place and Scott has almost 2 months, it's still been a struggle to get everything ready! We will both be very happy to be living under one roof and are extremely excited to finally have "our place".
It's funny to think that it's been one year since I went home for the 4th of July weekend and Scott and I started on this incredible journey together. So much has changed and happened over the last year, that it's hard to imagine what life was like before all of this! We have grow so close to one another in the past 12 months! I thought he was my best friend before, but now I've realized that he's my sole mate. I can't even begin to picture my life without Scott! This past year has been hard, but it has brought us closer together and made us believe that we can truly get through anything that life throws at us. We have a strong respect for each other and a deep love that will help us get through anything. I look forward to the next 12 months as more changes will occur. For starters, in less than 11 months I will be Mrs. Greenfield (how weird is that!?!) and I will graduate and be done with school forever! I'm sure there are also many things ahead for us in the next year that we have no idea of today. I can't wait to continue this journey with Scott by my side.
As far as a wedding update goes, we are continuing our search for the perfect caterer and cake baker. Once we cross those off our list, we will move on to "wedding party attire". We've started registering for household items, something that I am quickly becoming addicted to! We also have received our Save-The-Date cards so we are busy gathering addresses and addressing them to send out.
It's my hope that life slows down a bit after we move, however, I don't see that happening. We knew this was going to be a busy summer, so we are trying to use the little down time that we do have to enjoy the Colorado summer. :-) We hope you all are having a wonderful summer!
Hugs & Kisses,
Heather and Scott

Less than 365 days away...
I'm finding it hard to believe that our wedding is now less than a year away! It seems crazy to think that Scott and I have been engaged for 9 months now! I'm becoming more anxious then ever for our wedding, I get butterflies in my stomach when I think about standing up at the alter with Scott. I truly believe that my life will begin on that day. It's been an incredible journey so far, I just can't wait for the next chapter to start.
We've been very busy the last few weeks! Last weekend we signed our lease (we move in on July 3rd), bought a tent and went to a friend's graduation party. We also celebrated our -1 year anniversary (we're dorks, we know) on Saturday, May 30th. We went out to dinner in Denver and spent a night on the town, just the two of us. We talked about the past 10 years and what the next year will bring. On Sunday we went to Estes Park for an open house at Della Terra (where we are getting married). They had finally completed the facility and had it completely set up! We were able to walk through each of the guest rooms and pick the room we will be staying in on our wedding night. All the rooms were amazing and beautiful! We really didn't want to leave! We also go to do some wine tasting and sample cakes. We had a wonderful time and walked away more excited for our big day. Della Terra is beautiful and we are so lucky to be getting married there!!! It's going to be perfect for us!
This past weekend was another busy weekend for us as. My Dad came out for the weekend and stayed with me. My Aunt Clare and Uncle Rick also came out for the weekend, they stayed with my Mom. Scott, my Dad and I hung out in Boulder on Saturday. We went to the farmers market, Pearl Street and the Harley shop. It was great spending time with him! I'm so happy that my Dad and Scott get along, I think my Dad enjoys finally having a "son". They enjoyed talking about cars, Harleys and "boy stuff" as I drove us around this weekend. On Sunday we went up to Estes Park and met my Mom, Aunt and Uncle at Della Terra. My Aunt Clare is doing the decorations for our receptions so we wanted to show her what the site looked like. Everyone thought it was amazing! My Dad said that he can't wait for our wedding and thought that Della Terra was perfect for us! My Uncle Rick, a man of few words, even expressed his excitement for our wedding and kept going on and on about how beautiful Della Terra was. Once we toured Della Terra we all headed to check out Lake Shore Lodge, where our rehearsal brunch will be, and then we heading to Village Pizza for lunch. We had a wonderful day up in Estes Park with the family, even though we got snowed and rained on a little (got to love Colorado weather).
This coming week and weekend is less eventful, but we need that! We still have a long list of "To Do" items so hopefully we can start checking those off. This summer will go by fast, and with so much to do it's going to be hard to enjoy our first Colorado summer together, but we're going to try. We have plans to go camping and hiking in the next few weeks and we're hoping to get some pool time in, if the weather ever corporates! We have so many things to look forward to and get ready for, we need to remind ourselves to slow down and enjoy the moments we're in. Hopefully Scott and I can remember to do that, not just during this summer but throughout our lives. Life is too short to live in the future or the past...the present is the most important time in our lives.
