Crafts and more crafts

A lot of our wedding is DIY. Bryan and I like the thought of putting a lot of meaningful details into the day. Here's just a bit of what we are working on...

Family & friends,

There are 2 and a half more months till we get married!

Since we've been engaged, we haven't stopped smiling. Life is so good when you know you get to spend the rest of your life with your best friend. It's also good when school is wrapping up, work is enjoyable, hanging out with kids is your job, and God is shaping you into a better person and preparing you for marriage. Bryan and I can't even begin to tell you how beautiful life is. Half of our conversation revolves around how lucky we are to have such amazing friends and family.

Last week, my parents came down to help with wedding plans. Bryan and I took the day off work and spent it with them. We were suit shopping, so it had potential to be awful because Bryan and I both hate shopping, but alas! it was wonderful (and painless!). Now the P's (as my siblings and I always call them) are in Costa Rica and we all miss them a lot.

Even better, Bryan's parents came up to Davis for Mother's Day. There were four fantastic things about that day. One, we had a picnic in the rain with yummy food. Two, we showed them the venue for the wedding! Three, we went and saw the old paint bridge (a favorite Davis spot that Bryan and I tandem to a lot) And four, I got to celebrate Mother's Day with my soon to be mother-in-law. Who is not only awesome, but someone who I owe a lot to for giving me such a wonderful man. I am also really excited that in two and a half months my family will double in size! Eep!

Date Night (number three)

Oh man, hello date night! I've been excited about you for a week! Bryan took me to the river yesterday. We oogled over the beautiful farm land dreaming of the day when we have our own. The day ended with a fantastic taqueria and a beautiful sunset.

Here is a few pictures of our weekend. We really missed my parents. Well, I really really missed my whole family. So it was so good to be able to go up to the ranch this weekend. This picture, however, was not from this weekend. I just wanted to show you how grossly awesome Bryan's 24 hour 'stache was. Possible wedding day look???
