pre-wedding catch up

i was planning to have time to blog before the wedding...what was i thinking??
we were soooo busy! no blogging time :)
getting ready for the wedding was so much fun and such an exciting time! pictures and reception stuff and dress stuff and annoucements and moving and packing and honeymoon packing!!

we love our cute apartment.
we're lucky to be in clinton so we're right by both our parent's houses!

first rent check :)

i got to sign all the paperwork hilary olsen before we were even married :) fun!!

first bathroom picture hahaha :)

empty fridge! lemonade was the house warming gift from the apartments and diet coke was from tyann :)

cute O wreath i made :)

we showed up to clean and put furniture together and had matching shirts :) 

now that its been a few weeks, and we've been living here since we got back from our honeymoon, its alot homey-er. we still have lots of unpacking and putting away to do, but i love it!! its the perfect space for just us two :)

on june 1st i went through the Bountiful Temple to take out my endowments. since it was exactly one week before the wedding, Dallin got to take me through. it was so so amazing. and my whole big family came and it was so incredible to have them there to support me! and of course have a huge family dinner at el matador after :)

our family has been so wonderful! and so helpful. we've been having so much fun. my 3 bridal showers were so fun too!

thanks to Chelsea for doing my bridals! and bestie tayler for coming with to make sure i looked fab :) here are a few!

i realize i should have posted our proposal story a week and a half ago. we've just been so busy planning this wedding!!
we've decided on
JUNE 8, 2013
in the Salt Lake Temple.
and we couldn't be happier!!
being engaged has been so so much fun and so exciting.

april 20, 2013
the proposal.
almost 3 years ago, my dallin pulled me aside to 'our spot' at my great grandparent's farm in Idaho, got on one knee with a promise ring, and asked me to wait for him on his mission.
on april 20, we drove back out there for a delicious picnic, and took a walk back to our spot in the corner of a field. he said lots of beautiful things, and talked about how important family is to us. then he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. with the most gorgeous ring. it was so perfect and happy!!

it was so freezing cold that we ate in the car :)

in love with this ring!! :)

we have been having so much fun planning like crazy!!
it was so fun to get all registered :)

no pictures, but we got my wedding dress already!! it was the first one i tried on :) and it was the one that my bestie sissy maid of honor tayler pulled for me!! pure magic :) it wasnt the dress i was expecting to love. but i feel beautiful and most of all bride-y in it!!

today we got our engagements done!! we're so excited to see them :)

and by the way, 37 days until our wedding!!
