Nine days until the wedding!

There is so much to do in the remaining nine days before Grant and I get married. I can't believe how fast the time is passing! But I really think that is due to how busy we are. I still have a 10-page research paper to write (and start, for that matter), and then 3 finals to study for and take. I also have the impossible task of moving out of my apt - I have so much stuff, it's daunting to look around my room and realize I have to move out by next week - I just don't know how I'm going to do it! But I will, things have a funny way of falling into place when you just don't know how you can fit everything in (at least that is what I'm hoping for)

We still have all the details to work out for the wedding planning as well. My mom has been so great with everything - she has taken so much time and worked on our wedding like a full-time job. We owe a TON to her, because without her, we really wouldn't have been able to do everything! Having a 3-month long engagement was really nice, but at the same time it was so hard to plan everything in that short of time. But it's all turned out really great, and we only have nine more days left to wait! I am so excited!!

Grant and I are going down to St. George the weekend we get married and we're going to stay at my grandparents condo, and then get a U-Haul and take some furniture back to Provo with us. We are SOO lucky!! My grandma is giving us some really nice furniture, and it's going to help us out soo much!! For being a young couple who isn't going to have any money, we're going to have some nice things! We'll have really nice furniture from my Grandma, and some really nice presents from all the wedding gifts. People are so generous - it really amazes me.

Ever since we sent our invitations out, we've been receiving presents in the mail pretty regularly and I just can't believe how generous and nice people are! Some of these gifts are coming from people we really don't even know! I hope some day I have enough money that I can shower newlyweds with nice things, like we have gotten!

Our new house is really cute!! It's a fourplex and we have one of the upstairs apts. There's a huge living room, kitchen and dining area, and then bedroom and bathroom. It's a great size for us, and I'm really excited to move in and get everything set up!

I also realize I haven't been great about blogging all of our experiences while being engaged. But I really want to upload some of our photos from our engagement session, and then later from our bridal session, so that everyone can see them, and I can look back on them later.

Angie, our photographer, from Sweet Memory Garden took a ton of photos, so I'll just post my favorite ones!
