What a wonderful day!

Not only did I get my wedding shoes delivered this morning but I just got a call that my wedding dress is ready too! I wasn't expecting the dress for another 3 weeks or so.

Oh this is just a lovely day!

Now I just have to find a way to make the next 68 days pass by quickly

The little things that excite me

UPS delivered my wedding shoes today!!

I'm so excited to break in these babies. They're a whole 4.5" heel. Yep, i'm going to be over 6'5 on my wedding day. Don't worry, i'll put inserts in so my feet don't completely die on me. Crazy thing is, even being 6'5 there is still going to be a 10" difference between me and my sweetheart!

Oh the finer things in life... beautiful shoes...

I kind of feel like a little girl dressing up in her mom's shoes again, only these fit me :)

I'd put a picture up but that would ruin the surprise!


P.s. there are only 68 days left until the happiest day ever!!

Engagement Photos

There was exactly one weekend until the wedding that we had the opportunity to take engagement photos. My dad wanted to do them so we flew him out here last weekend. It was luckily David's bye week for games so we had a few hours on Saturday to take them.

David had food poisoning the Friday before so I was so worried that he was going to look sickly in his pictures. Luckily I was able to take care of him all day and make sure he ate food that was gentle on the stomach so he didn't lose too much weight. He was just fine on Saturday, he just wouldn't kiss me for safety's sake.

My dad did a great job and he bought a new camera just for the shoot. Any reason to get a new toy, right? Although he wasn't anticipating the new camera to be pretty significantly heavier than the previous one.

We went to 3 different sites, but after David and I weeded through the photos we liked it looks as though we could have stopped after the first location. Yep, we did that well! I'm only slightly kidding-- we just have that much chemistry I guess. :)

Here are a few of our favorites for your enjoyment (including the new main picture):





And of course we have to throw one in with some of our personality shining:



Not bad for free pictures taken by a dentist who does photography as a hobbie! My dad is so talented :)

Hope you like them as much as we do!

Happy Valentine's day <3

My man is A-mazing!!

Recently Deseret News and Mormon Times have both been interested in David both on and off the court. Lets face it, he's amazing at basketball and being a spiritual leader.

Here are the links to the articles for you to read at your leisure:
Deseret News

Mormon Times
This one actually mentions me, the just got their facts a bit off about me going to University of California San Diego

Its hard not to be impressed and proud of him, I really lucked out!

100 days until the wedding as of today... woop woop!

3 weeks ago this happened...

To read more about the story go to our wedding website here
Follow the link to "our story" and the proposal story is the last one on the page. I'm saving myself from carpal tunnel by directing you there. You can also peruse around the rest of the site for more fun.

Here are some pictures from after I said yes:

My hands aren't very pretty but here is a picture of the beautiful ring:



Here are a few of us enjoying our lovely moment we just had:




And of course one final photo of us just being us:

The Greatest of News!!

If you haven't heard already... David proposed Friday night (the 18th) and of course I said YES!

Story and pictures to come soon I just couldn't wait to post how happy I am.

David has the pictures and the video on his camera so it will have to wait until I get back to Utah to get it from him (I'm in Hollister for Christmas). Yep, I left my new fiance 12 hours after I said goodnight the night he proposed. I already broke down missing him today.

Anyway... be so happy for me I'm getting married!! It will be in May sometime... exact date and countdown widget to come soon as well.

EEEE yay! Now to try to get some sleep....

So Proud

David is quite a force to be reckoned with on the court. While the team may be a little inconsistent in their wins and losses, he is consistently a defensive threat. You know you're a force when a team has to change their offense because of you.

Last week he smashed the school record for single game blocks. It was 7, he got 10! He is well on his way to also breaking the single season blocks.

I just love watching him play, not only because I can't take my eyes off him normally, but because he is just really fun to watch! Plus he has an intense game face.

This is what my man does:



NOT IN MY HOUSE!

I'm so proud of him and all his hard work to be at the level he is now with only being home from his mission 6 months.

Keep up the great work, Big Dave!
