The Married Life

It has already been a month since we got married. In the last month we have gone camping, played hookie, and stayed up late. We have been working on getting all of our bills paied off. So, far we are doing pretty darn good.

At the end of next month we will be able to start looking at homes. I would really like to look at a few condos in eagle mountain. Then hopefully a few months after that we will have the down payment for one. Wish us luck!

I am very excited to be able to share everything with the most amazing person in the world. We talk about everything all the time. Some nights all I want to do is stay in and talk to him. It is so amazing to me that he will do that if I want to.

Luke is working at Security Metrics as a Support Rep. He is training to be a Scan Tech and loving every moment of it. I am working at Farm Bureau Financial Services as a Sales Associate for two Agents in Lehi. I love being able to do what I want to do instead of being forced to do anything.

Meet Mrs. Harding

We are MARRIED! It has been about a week and a half now. But, you didn't really expect me to run to my computer right after the ceremony did you? :D Luke and I had an amazing trip on the Carnival Paradise Cruise ship to Ensenada Mexico. I have put pictures up on facebook if you would like to see them. Now, we are just trying to settle into our new lives as the Harding family! Hopefully I will get more time to give you details soon!

BRIDALS~BRIDAL SHOWER~5DAYS LEFT

I can not really put a picture up for this entry... due to the fact that Luke could happen upon them... I will definitely put some up after we get back from our honeymoon.

The Bridal photos turned out PERFECT! I was really concerned about everything working out: dress, shoes, hair, makeup, and flowers. There were a few bumps in the road, like the fact that I completely forgot to call the florist and let her know when we decided to do the photos... But, everything turned out fine and we were able to get all of the photos that I wanted. I can't wait for you to see them.

The Bridal shower at Oma and Opa Haines' house turned out alright. I never want to chew gum again, my jaw still hurts. LOL! I got a lot of amazing gifts from everyone and we all had a blast. The food turned out amazing also!

I can not believe that there is only 5 days left till Luke and I meet at the alter... I have moved out of our room and into my parent's house for the week before our wedding. I think this will help with the whole "distance make the heart grow fonder" thing... so far it has been pretty difficult. haha and it has only been 24 hours!

Well, I better be getting some sleep... tomorrow is my Bachelorette party. :D

T-Minus 30 days

30 days left?! Holy WOW! Everything is going pretty smooth. I sent out a huge chunk of the invites today. So, hopefully everyone starts to see them soon. I created a facebook event for the wedding. I'm not really sure how to use the facebook creator. So, I don't think that my event is very good. If you have any questions about it just email me. :D

I am planning on "moving out" on the 1st. I will be couch surfing till the wedding date.

The information for the OPTIONAL dinner went out to immediate family yesterday. If you need to RSVP please text back to Christina (she is the one that sent it). She will be keeping a head count for me.

I have been working out with Stacy, trying to stay in shape so that I will fit into my dress. *cross your fingers for me*

I am going to be doing Bridal photos with my auntie Sandra on the 8th of May.

My Bridal shower is being headlined by Stacy. This will be taking place on the 13th of May at Oma and Opa's house in Mapleton. If you need an invite or directions please speak with Stacy.

My Bachelorette party will be on the Saturday before our wedding.

This is a pretty short entry.... but that is pretty much all.

Invitations ~Coming to a home near you Soon~

So, on Friday last week I went to Allen's Camera to get our invites printed. They told me that if I got them in by 3pm they would be printed on Saturday. Well, I go there at 6:30... So, I had to wait till Monday. They said that on Monday I would be able to come in to proof the final work. After a very long weekend I showed up at Allen's at 10am. They then told me that the proof would not be ready till Noon. I went home a took a nap and then headed back to find out that the wording was completely off... I called my mother letting her know that we needed to go back and fix the wording. She said, "I don't like the whole thing." Back the the drawing board.... Later that night I came back with the revised version. They then told me that the next proof would be ready at 3pm on Tuesday. OUCH! But, okay... So, today I go in to proof the FINAL work. After I okayed the work they passingly let me know that they will be ready to pick up at 6pm tomorrow... UHHHH.... alright... LAME

Makeup, the world of the unknown

So, I need help deciding on what I should do with my makeup. I want my eyes to POP! Above are some examples of what I have seen so far. Please comment on which you like or post new pics of what you think I should do. My colors are pink and green, my main flower is the star gazer lilly, and my dress has a small amount of pink on it.

Getting Closer, I can feel it

First off, I wanted everyone to notice that our layout has changed. I spent most of my day yesterday trying to choose and change a ton of different ones. Then Chrissy helped me edit it a little bit more so that now it is the bestest (stupid mstar). The only thing that slightly bothers me about it is that those rings are not ours. So, I have posted the best picture that I have of my ring to show it off.

Luke got his ring yesterday. And in an attempt to show me that it was not too big he started flailing his arms around like a mad man. The ring popped off his finger and bounced across our kitchen. Nice try, Luke, the ring is too big.... I asked Morgan Jewlers if they could resize it. They said that tungsten can not be resized. Hurrah, we just put $50 down the hole! :D

I am very very scared that something is going to happen to my dress. My dress is the only part that could put a huge damper on my wedding. The dress is currently located at my mothers house. This would normally not be an issue. But, where as she has grandchildren over all the time that (lets face it) like to cause havoc... It makes me very uneasy.

The flowers have been ordered with the help of my mother, Charles and Felicia. I am super happy that this big part is mostly out of the way.

My Bridal shower is being headlined by my sister, Stacy. We are thinking of having it at Grandma and Grandpa Haines' house. There will be games, fun, and potatoes! What more could you want? I will give more details when I have them.

Luke's Bachelor party is pending...

My Bachelorette party is in the first stages of planning via Paige and I. If you have any ideas please let me know!
