One Month to Go!

We have one month to the wedding! So many little things to do before the big day. Robert caught my cold so he is now sick and I am still trying to get completely over my cold. Robert and I had a date night last night. We went to my High School so I could show him where I went to school, then we drove to the temple. Robert had never seen the Newport Beach temple. He was excited because he hoped that was where we were going. It was exciting seeing the temple where we will be married in only a month.
We had a final food tasting yesterday at the reception site. We decided on salmon with dill sauce, cheese tortellini, chicken piccata, and roast beef for the main dishes. The sides will be rice pilaf, grilled vegetables, and garlic mashed potatoes. With wedding cake for dessert it will be tasty! (I hope, all the food at the tasting was yummy). I had a trial run of my wedding hair-do yesterday with Elyse. We know each other from when we were younger and she is a great hair-stylist. I found a hair style on the internet and showed it to Elyse and she was able to start with that and make it truly beautiful. Now on to getting well and finishing wedding plans.

Summer Cold

I felt this coming a couple of days ago and here it is.....a summer cold. My head feels like it will explode, my chest is full of gunk, and my throat hurts. Yup it's a summer cold and I sound like a dude. Robert and I are getting the final plans for the wedding on track. The invitations went out this week and we got the family shower invitations in the mail as well. School is out for the junior high and high school kids. I received my recommend yesterday and Robert and I went to golden spoon in celebration. We saw Allison and Natalie Williams while we were there and we had a good chat. Hope I get better soon.

Robert is Back!!!!

Robert got back from Washington DC last night at 11:00 at LAX. Dad went with me to pick him up because it's not the best part of town. He was jetlagged as it was 2:00 according to East Coast time. He went to bed and I stayed up with mom until 2:oo to watch the notebook. She had never seen it before and thought it was a fufu movie...until she saw it. Now she loves it.

Robert went to church with the family today and we are celebrating Father's Day by barbequing steaks for dad. Adrianne is making a carrot cake because it is one of dad's favorites. (Dad loves raisins in just about everything, especially in carrot cake; nobody else likes raisins in carrot cake so we'll see what Adrianne does). We have to buy stamps for the invitations tomorrow and Robert needs a MAJOR haircut. He hasn't had it cut in tow months and his hair is too long. Then we have more wedding errands. Mom and I registered at Crate & Barrek yesterday; we've been registered at Bed Bath & Beyond since March. Robert's mom is coming into town tomorrow and we are going to be able to see her.

Happy Father's Day

Wednesday

I have two more days left on my externship. It has been a great experience and I have learned so much. The attorneys and support staff at the office have been absolutely wonderful. Robert's externship also ends on Friday and he comes home on Saturday. I'm so excited to see him again; we also have a lot to do before the wedding comes! I also owe him dinner from out law school grade bet.
I discovered a funny thing. I have this old purple blanket that I made in High School. It has held up pretty well and I still use it, I love that blanket. Turns out that Darla also loves it and she thinks it's hers!! Monday night I was wrapped up in the blanket and she couldn't lay on it. Adrianne was here and noticed that Darla was pouting because she couldn't lay on the blanket. I spread it out to see if it was true and sure enough, she ran to the blanket, sat down, and then smiled. She refuses to get off it unless I make her (which doesn't happen very often because she's so dang cute).

Weddings, Externships and, Things

So long time since my last post here is the update. I have two weeks left on my six week externship. Robert finishes at the same time then he comes HOME from Washington DC. It has been a long four weeks already and I'm glad I get to see him soon.

I am getting the wedding things done with mom's help. I had my first dress fitting at Donna's and received all the invitations and pictures so now I get to start addressing them all.

Finally Home

Soooo.....
Brain and Mindy's wedding on Saturday. Then off the next day for Dove Canyon. Then off to Arizone for a quick trip of engagement pictures. We got to see Janae! She was our server at Chili's and then we got to see her again and Grandma and Grandpa's. Then back to California. Robert left the next day (Saturday) for Washington DC. He has a summer externship with the Department of Justice. I miss him terribly. I have an externship with Smith, Chapman & Campbell for the summer so I am staying busy. I talk to Robert every day.
Robert is so cute. For Valentine's Day I gave him a teddy bear. He named her Natalie so her name is Natalie Bear. Before he left for DC he gave me a teddy bear named Robert. He has Natalie Bear and I have Robert Bear to keep us company. When I get lonely I have Robert Bear there. I miss you honey come home safely.
Wedding plans are also keeping me extra busy. Most of the wedding is planned we just have a few loose ends to tie up. Bridal shower set for the 26th and Temple on July 5. Off to get ready for bed. I am exhausted!
