Some of my best friends from living at the Riviera. Jody, Alisha, me, Justine and Brittney. I lived with Alisha and Justine for 2 years and Brittney 1. Jody lived slept upstairs, but pretty much lived with us! Thank you for coming!!!!

My darling sister who spoiled me with gifts. I am so glad we are such good friends! This picture was taken post party, if you notice I am out of the jeans and into my lounge pants! I love you Andrea!!!!
Lindsay, Lacee and Danielle. I hadn't seen Lindsay forever and was so glad she could make it. Lacee and Danielle are a couple of my roommates who put on this wonderful event. Lacee is the tan one in the middle who is going to DUKE in the fall for her PA program. Woo Woo!
This picture is from the gum game, this is the most unflattering picture, but I had 6 pieces of bubble gum in my mouth.... it was so gross, I had a slobber problem. haha


My roommates threw me a bridal shower last night. I also have another one tonight with the women from my home ward. I had an amazing time last night seeing friends I haven't seen in a long time! It was fun to see everyone, chat and eat good foods. Thank you to all my friends who put the shower together! Thanks to everyone who came and the wonderful gifts!!!! More pictures to come later!

Color Me Mine and Dan's Prom

Tonight was filled with some fun family activities!!! My parents went to Wicked tonight, and it was also my brother's prom. Bob and I took on the role of parents and went to promenade to watch him and his date Bonnie walk across the stage. They both looked great and I hope they had a good time. I can't believe my little brother is a senior, going to his last prom. Wow, he has grown up!
We then met up with Harris and Andrea at Color Me Mine. I had never been there, but Bob had been on a couple dates there. I decided to work on a plate. Growing up we had a red sparkly plate that you got to eat on, when it was your birthday. I decided to make a birthday plate for our future family! Bob made a mug, for his famous milkshakes that he is planning on making for me soon. I'll have to post a picture after I get them back, and the colors are more vibrant and it's all polished and stuff!

{Mexico part 1}

Dan and I floating in the lazy river. Dan was brave and actually got in the water, I was just trying not to get wet at this point.... water= freezing!!!!
Getting a treat at the bakery in the mexican grocery store. The pastries always look 10x better than they taste, but we still get them anyway!
This little guy was just hanging out in the seafood section of the store. My brother and cousin Spencer have been known to get octopus cocktails instead of the normal shrimp!
Mmmmmm Churros!!!! One of our favorite parts of Mexico!!!
Next to the churro stand, we found a carnival. It looked like fun, but when we arrived we saw someone leaving the carnival by ambulence, so we decided not to ride the rides!
Local taco stand that we love!!!! I would live in Mexico just to eat the food everyday! I'll work on Bob.... first off, we need to get him to like Mexican food as much as I do.....
This is the view from our condo.... Looks nice right? Well the pools aren't actually heated at this point, so it is a tad bit cold. But the sun warms you right up!!!!

{Chuck E Cheese}

A couple weeks ago, my aunt and uncle went on a cruise. My parents were babysitting their kids and one of those days happened to be their 23rd Anniversary. So Andrea, Harris, Ayrika, Bob and I took the tots to Chuck E Cheese for a couple hours. We ordered some pizza and drinks and divided up 100 tokens between the 4 kids. We all were assigned a child to look after and then went off to play. I soon realized that Bob was off by himself playing the games. He would come try and steal a few tokens from Dillan's cup.

Bob loved Chuck E. Cheese, and loved playing the games. It was so fun to watch. The kids also loved it. We totalled up all of the tickets and had over 1200. We gave each kid 300 and let them get some prizes. I think Bob may have been a little sad he didn't get to buy a prize!!!!Before we went to Chuck E. Cheese, we went to the mall and got new hats, Bob really wanted a new one and I got one on sale.


Yes I won the bonus on this game which was over 100 tickets! It was definetly the highlight of my day!

{Bridal Shower numero uno!!!!}

Emily and I-- the brides to be! It has been so much fun planning out weddings at the same time! I am just super jealous that she is getting married a month before me. Matt and Emily will be living in Idaho for the summer and "hopefully" move to Provo for the fall!!!
Andrea and I. I am so grateful for my sister, who is my best friend!!!! She is dating this amazing guy, Harris who we all love to hang out with.
These next few pictures are dedicated to the beautiful cupcakes that my Aunt Shauna made for the shower. Aren't they amazing? Thanks again!!!!


My Aunt Shauna and cousin JanaRae threw a double shower for my cousin Emily and I. Emily and I got engaged the same weekend, and she is getting married on Tuesday in Mesa! Anywho, the shower was a month ago, but I wanted to document the moment! My aunt and cousin did an amazing job and it was so much fun to sit and talk with everyone on my Dad's side of the family!

{Conference Weekend}

This last weekend was a fast paced, going all day, fall in bed at 10 PM kind of weekend. We were so happy to be able to spend time with Bob's family who came for to Utah for Conference. On Thursday night Bob and I went to Red Lobster with both sets of parents for a little, Pre- Wedding meeting. It was fun to see everyone together, and just talk and laugh.

Friday we went up to Bountiful to Bob's mission reunion. I was able to meet a few of his friends from the mission and even see a couple of friends that I went to high school with. (Brianne and Dustin Creer)
After we went to the Salt Lake Institute to see Bob's parents and brother Brad at their mission reunion. We picked Brad up and went back to their hotel, where we attempted to go swimming. It was snowing lightly and the pool just happened to be outside. So we got in the hot tub for a few minutes and then decided to go home. We had a long day ahead of us.

We left Orem the next morning at 7, so we could be in Salt Lake at 8 for breakfast. We ate and then went downtown to the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. We met up with Kelsey, David's wife. We watched the Jospeh Smith movie and then in the theater watched conference. I didn't even know that that was an option, but I am glad I had the experience. It was really neat. We ate lunch and said good bye to Kelsey.We made our way over to the conference center for the afternoon session, which was just as amazing as the first session. I can't wait for the Ensign to come out so I can read the talks over again.

Shannon and I spent the afternoon shopping while the boys went to priesthood. It was a fun afternoon of looking at different home decor items and wishing I knew how or what I needed to decorate our future home. We also found Bob some new clothes for our cruise.

We met back up with the boys at 8 and enjoyed dinner and a beautiful view while eating at the Roof. We also took a quick look at the room where we will be having out wedding luncheon, and I can't wait!!!! I am so excited! We were very lucky to be able to spend so much time with Bob's family. They spoiled us, and we are truly grateful for the time we had with them.Sorry, my camera would not cooperate. One picture is with the flash, the other is without. I love how beautiful the Salt Lake Temple is, and can't wait to be married there in a short while!

engagedness.....









We only have 44 more days until our wedding day!!!! I am so excited and ready to move onto the next stage of my life with Bob as my husband. He is an amazing man and truly cares for me. He is so good to me and I just want everyone to know how much I love him.

There were over 150 pictures, so here are just a few. We loved them. I of course picked the worst dress ever, which wasn't flattering and showed a lot of lines... (like my slip across my chest) so that was disappointing!!! haha -- But our other outfit worked great!!!!
