jessica's bridal shower

Nicole and I decided to throw a bridal shower for Jessica the day after Christmas. It was so fun to get all of our friends together, we don't get to see each other all that often! It was really fun we played some games, ate donuts and hot chocolate, opened presents, and just talked! It turned out really great! I am so excited for Jessica she is going to make the most gorgeous bride! 

i love to see the temple

I went there yesterday!
It was the most incredible experience, and I loved every minute of it!
I can't wait to go back and the Monday after our wedding we are going to do a session in the Salt Lake temple.
consider me giddy.

Thanks to all of my family and friends who came and supported me on this special day.
I can't wait to be sealed for time and all eternity to you on Saturday. Love you Al!

I am seriously so excited! The wedding is coming up so soon, and I am positive that I have the greatest, most supportive family and friends in the world. I ended up having both my bridal showers on the same day, and I actually think it was kind of nice! I received so many thoughtful gifts and I am so grateful for the family and friends in my life!

bridal shower: part 2

 I have the greatest friends! They went full out and planned an amazing shower just for me! I felt really bad by the end of the day that so many people had done so much just for me, but I really am thankful and so blessed to have these people in my life. 

 Bryn surely knows the way to my heart!

 I LOVE MY FRIENDS. They are the cutest and made me this adorable quilt. Ah I love it so much and I have been packing it around to every ball game, you guys rock!

 Thanks to Jenna I have the dirtiest, most awful book in the world that I am contemplating throwing it into the fire. This is just an action shot of them ready this dirty dog book. 

 We played a game where they filmed Alex and asked him a whole bunch of questions, but I had to answer the question and then after I answered we would watch how he answered. If our answers didn't match up i would have to eat a whole piece of bubbalicious gum. Clearly, I don't know him all that well;)

Thanks everyone, I love you all!!
