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???

Date Night (number two)
Date night this week was almost canceled on account of being swamped with midterms and papers. But Bryan insisted that he would go crazy if we didn't see each other for a whole week (man, I love him!). So we did! We had a date in the library. I came over with yummy fixin's to make shish-kabobs (a lovely idea from my dear friend, Sara). After grilling, we packed them up (along with our homework) and studied at the library. It was lots of fun! I'm pretty sure we looked like dorks to everyone else considering we brought a table cloth, vase, and flowers to make our library date complete. Sometime you gotta do what you gotta do.

Busy Little Bees
I know we haven't written here in awhile. That is because our lives are crazy at the moment. And if we had to chose between blogging or going outside and enjoying the beautiful weather--we will always pick the latter. But we will try our best to keep friends and family updated.
Last weekend was Picnic Day--a favorite in Davis. Bryan's grandparents came up and it is always such a joy to hang out with them. They have been together for over 50 years! Definitely, something to aspire to! We also hung out with some aunts, uncles, and cousins. I'm kinda excited that in three months my family size will double.
A few changes have happened in the past couple of weeks. First, Bryan and I have been so busy that we have hardly been seeing each other, so we made Mondays our date night (and soon enough it will be our premarital counseling night also!) Last Monday, we went to dinner at Cool Hand Lukes. My parents gave us gift cards to different restaurants for date (so awesome!) so this was one of them. We've never been there. Pros--water served in wide mouth mason jars, sweet potato fries, and country music. Cons--everything is cooked with bacon, small appetizers, and dark lighting.
The second change is that I have moved up to Summit, the highschool youth group. About a year ago, I started working with junior high kids at our church. Soon enough Bryan joined in too! We love love love doing ministry together and even more so we have fallen in love with the kids. My girls are going into highschool next year, so with that I moved up to the high school ministry with them. Our kids have been one of the biggest blessings and if you come to our wedding you will sure meet all of them!
