bridals!

So I went and took my bridal pictures yesterday, unfortunately it was pouring down rain in the middle of May, so we were unable to take them outside so instead we went to plan B. We took them in the SLC library, which is extremely nice and huge. When I showed Taylor he said, "everyone is going to think you love books" hahahaha nah just the only indoor nice place to take pictures haha, we took about 400! Yikes I know, but I went thru them and got down to about 150, I am not going to post all the pictures but here are a few of my favorites, I hope you like :) PS. I swear my dress weighs 20 pounds, it is so heavy to wear! and hot! Oh well its beautiful and I adore it!

Props to my mother for taking all the pictures, gowns by pamela for my gorgeous dress, Katelyn for my awesome make up, & Jody for my beautiful hair!!!

the first thing we get to call ours

so we always knew we wanted a kitten once we got married but a girl taylor use to work with, cats had kittens and we went to look at them and i had to have one! i picked the 1 little girl they had left and we took her home at just 6 weeks old. she is so cute, but so feisty! she loves to play and her favorite thing to play with is our hands and feet, the scratches all over my legs and arms can prove it! haha. she can be out of control sometimes but we absolutely adore her.

getting crafty!

this is the hanging mobile i made out of old cds, spray paint, and fishing line!

the picture frame i made out of an old picture frame and buttons.

 the wreath i made out of lima beans!

 i made necklaces out of some old bead bracelets i had that i didnt like anymore.

the pom flower i made out of napkins!

the story of our engagement!

I'm not gonna lie I knew it was coming and I knew what day as well but I didn't know exactly when during our wonderful date. We first went to the olive garden (Emilie's favorite!) It was very good and I thought he was going to propose there but as we were leaving and it hadn't happened yet, I was wrong. So we started walking around down town and we got to the temple grounds and started walking around the visitors center and the salt lake city temple grounds. To our surprise the actual gates were open to the temple, which has never happened when I've been to walk around the temple, so I was pretty excited. I was walking up and down the temples stairs when I turned around and their was Taylor on one knee asking me to marry him. Of course I said yes and jump hugged him! It was a very special night for the both of us and something I had been waiting for, for quite awhile.

annnnnd this is the ring :) it is exactly what I wanted and more! I love it.
