Wow, how can it be August already!?!?! Where did summer go? As you can imagine, Scott and I have been BUSY! As my last posted said, we moved into our new apartment at the beginning of last month. The rest of July was spent finishing moving....taking furniture to my Mom's garage, cleaning the old apartment, unpacking the new one. It was a very long moving process, but it's over now! :-) We're unpacked (the new apartment isn't so big now) and have settled into living together. We live well together! Our place is big enough for us to each have our own space but not too big that we loose each other! ;-) For example, right now Scott is sitting on the couch watch a TV show about airplanes (really!?!?!) and I'm sitting in our dinning room, which is our computer room right now because we don't have any dinner room furniture, writing this blog. We're spending quality time together while we both do what we enjoy doing! :-) I think this will work out well!
Believe it or not, we didn't just move all of July! We also enjoyed a weekend with Jane and Dan (Scott's Mom and Step-Dad). They came by for a visit on their way back to Iowa from Las Vegas. We had a great time with them. We spent most of one day in the Boulder area. We had lunch at the Jefferson County Airport and walked around on Pearl Street in Boulder for the afternoon. Neither of them had been to Boulder, so it was fun for Scott and I to show them something new. That night we all had dinner with Dan's sister and husband. It was a great chance for me to meet more of Scott's family. The following day we went up to Estes Park. Scott and I showed them Della Terra, there was a wedding going on so we couldn't go inside, but I think they loved what they saw! We walked around downtown and had lunch at Mary's Lake Lodge. It was a great day! That night we went to Fort Collins and had dinner with my Mom. Jane and my Mom hadn't seen each other since Scott and I went to Junior year Prom! It was a great chance for them to get caught up and get to know each other better. The weekend went quick, but it was a wonderful weekend! I really enjoyed spending time with them!
We also managed to do some wedding stuff too! We found a caterer and baker!!! We went one night after work and did a taste test with them. Scott thinks that this was the best part of planning a wedding! He was really excited! We both really liked the food and company! We are happy to have that off of our list. I also picked out bridesmaids dresses!!! They are perfect! They have pockets (if you're a girl, you will understand the importance of pockets in a dress)! I'm relieved that I found something that I like and something that all of the girls will enjoy wearing and look great in! We are on to finding the groomsmen's outfits, which should be much easier! We have also planned a small wedding shower for the end of August in Colorado. My family, Aunt and Uncle, Cousin and her family and my Grandma are going to be in Colorado for a family vacation. My Cousin Danielle is my maid-of-honor and it was really important to me to have a shower while she was here so that she could meet my friends! I'm really looking forward to having my friends meet my family and having an afternoon with my favorite girls!
The other day, my Mom and I went shopping. I found some great dresses and outfits for the upcoming wedding showers, rehearsal and honeymoon. As I was trying on the dresses it hit me...I'm getting married!!! I know, that seems like a weird time to realize that I'm getting married. I'm not saying that for the past 10 months I haven't realized that I'm getting married, but it just hit me that we are actually getting married soon! Scott and I have been engaged for a long time, and for a while now, we've just done a few things here and there for the wedding. But now, that the wedding is 9 months away, it finally hit me that I'm getting married!!!! I'm soooo excited! Our wedding is going to be perfect for Scott and I! It the most important day for Scott and I and we're going to be able to share it with our family and friends. I can't wait!
I think that's all that happened last month! It went by so fast! I'm hoping this month slows down just alittle bit! We have a lot of things to look forward to this month! I'll keep you all update as we continue on this exciting, fast moving journey!
Love,
Heather
