Stiff Necked

So... do you ever have those mornings when you wake up and your head is cocked to the side and it's virtually impossible to straighten it out?? Yeah... I'm having one of those days. It's seriously the pits - how easily I forget that I actually use my neck! It's not just that piece of body that holds my beautiful head up... Hahaaaa!! It makes me giggle when I think of what I must look like with my lopsided head and my eyes straining to the side. It's like I have an invisible neck brace on. It makes me laugh!!!

Cake And Eat It Too

Ok, so I can't find the picture of the cake that I want... but this one is pretty close. Instead of the small gum paste daisies, we want rose petals sprinkled on the top and around the base of each layer. We'd like to have a cake just like this, but I can't find the flowers that look like this... the daisies I found look like cartoons... crazy, but that's what I found. We do want the ribbon for each layer, but in a dark brown color. The petals we'd like to be pink to match all the other flowers. I think we'd also like to have the small dots on the fondant. Anyway... that's our idea of the cake. We didn't want to have a cake topper, and we didn't want it to be too flowery, so the sprinkled rose petals seemed like a good alternative.

Wedding Stuff

So, if this is the first post you're reading... Justin and I are engaged and will be married in a short 60 days!! Yippee!!! I wanted to post a few things about the wedding and reception. Keep in mind these are just my thoughts right now because we haven't started doing anything yet... I KNOW!!! We're slackers!!

We have the temple reserved (Dec 20) and the buildings for the reception and open house (Dec 26 and 27). We just got our engagement pics, which I think turned out WONDERFUL! (**Thanks, Sal and Dave - YOU ROCK!**) Other than my dress, which I've picked out (but not ordered) we finally decided on a cake... I'll see if I can post a pic for your review.

OH WAIT!!! I almost forgot, we did the important things first. We booked the temple and then we booked the condos where we'll be honeymooning. Haahaa!! That seriously is about how it went. At least we have our priorities straight. It actually worked out so nicely. My parents were able to book a condo for us in Pinetop Dec 19 - Dec 29. We'll have that whole week to just hang out and have Christmas close to both our families. Yay! It's nice, too, because we can have our own space and be able to have our own little Christmas. Snaps for new traditions!

First Post Appraisal

I just saw my blog for the first time with a post... AND I FREAKING LOVE IT!!!! I think I can be addicted to blogging.... is that bad? What a cool way to let my peeps know what's going on with me... SO FUN!

Getting Started

So, I just created a blog for my new family... well, soon to be family. I have no idea what I'm doing, but I'm doing it anyway! Justin and I are engaged and will be married December 20, 2008. Hip-Hip-Hooray!!! It's weird that we're getting married, but so completely natural at the same time. I think the fact that it's so natural is what makes it weird. Definitely no doubts here!!
