Engagements

We finally got our engagement photos taken it was so so so much fun! I am just that much more excited about our wedding! Our photographer was so so much fun! And she is just so adorable! I don't know how well they will turn out and my outfit was a little awkward cause I had to improvise cause we were so far away from home. But they are gonna be cute no matter what cause Brett is just adorable... I think all of our pictures we were kissing. It was funny cause she would tell us to look at each other and we'd do it and giggle and nuzzle then end up kissing. But they were cute.
We took our photos at MEMORY GROVE in SLC and it was so pretty and it was actually a nice day, we thought it was going to be overcast but it ended up being beautiful! :)
I can't wait to see how they turn out after the editing!!!

Oh and on a happy note I get my wedding dress sometime next week!!!!

Its fitting together all nice and neat. YAY!!!!

Update

So I finally got my engagement ring back! yay and its new and unaltered so there should be no more problems. My wedding dress on the other hand I am very upset about. It's been almost a month since she lost it and I haven't heard a thing so I call her up to ask her about it tell her that I live in Idaho now and that we need the dress asap so we can make the sleeve alterations and any other alterations we might need to make. She tells me she'll see what she can do about getting it done but she says the woman making my dress is too busy with a bridal showcase to finish my dress............. hmmm anyone else see something wrong with the logic in this???? Yes I feel more comfortable about what the quality of my dress will be knowing the maker is in a bridal showcase but at the same time they already messed up once.... this is my wedding not just another thing she is taking on...

Nothing I can do about that but vent.

Other than that Brett and I have been doing really well... his friends have been driving me up a wall... We live together and feel like we are always surrounded by people and haven't had time alone for the last week or so. It's smothering.

On a funny note people who live in Idaho are crazy.... People say Utah drivers are bad... I have almost gotten into 4 or 5 car accidents in the last month on small streets in Twin.... I am by no means a perfect driver... anyone can agree to that... but as far as drivers in Idaho I am a much safer driver.

Question for all you married people out there: As a newly wed would you move into a house with your 2 sisters your sisters husband and your 3 neices and nephews?

Thats the dilemma we are facing.... cheaper rent... but no privacy... it wouldn't be separate parts of a house it would be shared living space.

What do you think?

I love my sisters and the kids and my bro in law but as newly weds I don't think that is going to be a healthy place to start out. I feel like it will cause more issues than help. Plus think of how Brett would feel about it... it's my family not his, he's not used to the way they are and how close we are. I think it would be awkward to live in a house of people he barely knows.

The honeymoon is in the process of being planned: a road trip up the california coast. I'm excited. The wedding is in less that 2 months its getting down to crunch time. We take engagement photos Friday hopefully we'll get to design our announcements by next week get them ordered and get them mailed by December 1st. I think the plan for my Bridal shower is Dec 5th. My sisters are planning it.

I feel like everything is coming together quite nicely and I am excited for the end product. Haha if anyone has any ideas for gifts for the wedding party let me know.

Hopefully we will get to see you all soon. I feel super secluded living up here in the middle of no where. I am definitely missing familiar faces.

Finally at a computer I can use!

These are bobcats cuddled together.
The sign said they were loner animals...
Do they look like they hate the company of another?

Just Brett and me after our Zoo adventure.

We're in a TREE!

He really didn't want a picture taken in the tree... TOO BAD

I'm a Tank~ see those muscles.
I don't even where shoes!

The log that monkey is carrying is bigger than him!

It was cold and sleepy!

We liked the pelicans... one was eating a fish... and looked like it was choking.
Reminded me of Finding Nemo

Marsupial its so cute~

This was THE cutest animal at the zoo.
An albino porcupine

He should be a zoo tour guide doncha think?

I would not be a very good Vana White.

Our heads covered the sign.. but.. we're at the Willow Park Zoo!

This is a really pretty and BIG eagle

He's a cute Monkey!

So those are all the zoo pics.

I finally got all moved out and in.
Thanks to my Dad, Hailey, and Brett! I love you guys!

Twin Falls is the same as any other podunk Idaho city...
Maybe a little less podunkish but still it's working on it.

Working at Target is quite boring and kinda remedial I think...
But what was I expecting it is retail!

I think I only am thinking this cause I miss my old work,
And my family and all my friends.

Living here is great... minus the Brother in Law who includes himself in everything..
Even that nice celebratory dinner that Brett planned for the two of us...

We'll definitely be good with kids...
His brother is our first child...
Maybe we can teach him some manners and how to clean up after himself...
That could be a stretch though!

Well I miss you all!

Twin Falls really isn't that bad...
I am just bored and very partial to Utah.

And being able to see Brett everyday makes it worth it. :D

Orientation

Was boring as all get out!
So I have been slowly realizing... people from Idaho are freaking crazy!
They get really offended really easily and most of their brain activity seems to be lacking..
Mind you this is not everyone... but a lot of the people I have been meeting since I learned I was moving up!
So when Brett came down last week we went to the zoo and the park right by Willow Park Zoo. It was so so so much fun! We did take pictures and as soon as I find the stupid cable that goes to my camera there will be lots of pic-a-tures!
I officially move up on Saturday, I moved up most of my stuff yesterday which is strange cause now I have almost nothing of my own at my apartment in Logan!
UPDATES:
The wedding dress is being remade still so I don't expect to see it for a month or more.
No news on when I get my engagement ring back...
Which brings me to engagements... which I think are never going to get done!
We are not elloping... we thought about it, talked about it, and both want a real wedding.
And I start work at Target (silent 'T') on Sunday.
Well thats about it for the soon the be Bowen Family for now!

Oh yeah I might end up killing my future Bro In Law...
I love him... but I can't live with him... it will drive me crazy!
The end.

I... Got... The...

JOB
I am so so so so so excited! Oh my dear. I get to move up and be with my man!!!! We are ecstatic! Now our next job will be finding a new apartment, his brother is currently living with us, and locating my wedding dress!
But its finally about time that everything started looking up and working out. I am so so so excited!
So that was just the update. more to come soon!!! And pictures!

My Wedding Dress

I am having my dress custom made for me... and it sounded like a good idea at the time but things keep going wrong... THE POST OFFICE LOST MY WEDDING DRESS! Seriously? I am so flustered at this very moment cause it is kinda important. So the lady making my dress is making a new one and it is going to be another 6 weeks before I see it... And it better look damn good or I am going to be pissed off... like the biggest bridezilla ever cause it is kinda important that I have my dress and that it fits and that it looks good! So it better or I am going to beat someone in the face! Grr! I am literally on the verge of tears... it just seems to be one thing after another.

Sorry to complain.. but I am extremely pissed off right now!

The Broncos!! :D

The Broncos won yesterday!!! I never thought I would get into sports but my boy is extremely persistent and persuasive. They are 3 and 0 this season... which is really good! And even more extraordinary for them! So we are excited! I thought I would just let everyone know... although it was an uneventful game Broncos won the Raiders 23 to 3!! Woot Woot! :D
