maid of honor

yesterday was a beautiful day! i got to go with bestie tayler to find her wedding dress! i went over early to do her hair, and she gives me this:



aahh!! such an honor! commence screaming yes and hugging. i am so excited to be such a big part of my best friend my sister's wedding. i'm so happy for her and so happy to be right there for everything she needs!
back to dress shopping. SHE FOUND ONE!! the perfect dress. absolutely made for her. in under 2 hours. and i helped :) i told everyone the sniffling was from the cold i have :)
sorry no pictures! you'll have to wait and see.
love you forever sissy poo xo

21 months down + a skype

i have been so busy i havent even had time to blog about my 21 months party!! i am so excited and so happy! only three months left!! i am so so proud of my sweetheart. he is working so hard out there to make every day count. i can't believe its been so long. time really does fly. i say that alot, but it seems like every time i realize how fast time is flying, it flies faster! well time, fly away. i'm ready for a hug :) i can wait though. three months left! every time i say it my smile gets a little bigger. seriously can't believe it it shocks me every time.
AND. my dallin's little brother tyler is leaving on his mission in a few weeks. so they won't see each other for 4 years! and ty wont be here for dallin's last phone call on christmas. so dallin got special permission for him to skype home to talk to tyler! so last monday i got to talk to him almost face to face. magical. i'm awkward because i dont want to talk and talk i just want to listen. i always do that with his phone calls, but this time was better because i could stare at him too! i was worried that seeing him would make it harder, but it wasnt any harder than a phone call. phone calls always make me so happy to hear his voice and hear him tell me he loves me and he really is ok, but they also make me miss him that much more. but i'm ok! i'm just so happy and lucky i got to talk to him :)

love you babe

getting the bestie engaged

last weekend, my best friend in the world got engaged! such an exciting time! and to the greatest guy. i love this kid, i absolutely approve of him marrying her and becoming my brother-in-law haha. we got to spend time together ring shopping for her. they knew which one she wanted, but i got to secretly go back and get it with him! he also let me help him plan his proposal, map it out, and be their secret photographer! i'm so glad i got to be part of this special day! and today as a thank you, they brought me my fav vanillabeanfrappewithacaramelswirl (you say it fast :) ).
i am so grateful for everything tayler has done for me and been there for. i'm so happy that she is so happy, and i can't wait for their beautiful future!

love you guys

conference weekend

i love general conference! i have been so excited for this conference for a while now! its probably my favorite weekend :)
you know the challenge, before conference you think of like three things you want answers to and you always get answers? well i've never done it before, but my friend told me to try it. her and i got to go to the morning session at the conference center! anyway, i didn't think of three questions, i just had one thing on my mind, something that has been really hard for me lately. my grandma has been having some extra complications lately, and i've been having a really hard time with it. so i just prayed for comfort and the ability to understand and cope. and i swear, the entire conference, all four sessions, were directed to me and my family. how incredible.

 

saturday october 6th was my grandparent's 50th wedding anniversary. how great are they? we had a party at their house, took pictures, and watched a beautiful slideshow of them together dating and as newlyweds. then we got to hear both sides of the story of them meeting, and what it has taken to get to 50 years together. they are so amazing! it was beautiful to see them laugh and talk like that, about their eyes meeting and just knowing they were meant to be. what good examples to me.
