Pretty Cool.

On Saturday, Stacy hosted a bridal shower for me and my mom, grandma, mother-in-law and sisters. It was beautiful! She always does such a great job! If you want to know more about the shower go HERE!

This blog is about my Grandma!

She came over to our house a little bit early to drive up to Stacy's with us. She got to talking with me a little and told me that my Grandfather had proposed to her on Friday June 13Th 1952! How cool is that! We both were proposed to on Friday the 13Th and in June! I thought it was pretty neat! Now I have something VERY cool in common with my Grandma, not just that we sneeze the same! (keep reading there is more. It wont let me space it the way I want it. So sorry)
















And seriously how cute is my Addie in her sweet flower girl dress! I can't wait to see her in it in 19 days!!! Holy cow our engagement has FLOWN by! I think I will be done with all the planning by then!


















Deric is out in the "field" (which pretty much means sitting in a truck, while everyone else shoots guns in the middle of no where) until the week before the Wedding. I can't wait to see him, it really has been WAYYYY to long since we have together!


He is so good looking in this picture! well to me he looks good all the time! I can't wait to be married to him!!!!















and a BIG shout out to my sister Katie, who has been here for almost 2 months helping with the wedding! She is my matron of honor. and a lot of stuff would not be getting done if not for her! Thanks for coming over and helping sista LOVE you!

I have been tagged!

My soon to be sister-in-law Marissa tagged me! This might be a little hard for me!!!! but here it goes!





The rules: Link the person who tagged you. Mention the rules on your blog. Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours. Tag 6 fellow bloggers by linking them. Leave a comment on each of the blogger's blogs letting them know they've been tagged.





1. I can quote most of the episodes of Word World! They are Addie's favorite shows. We watch them in the car, before nap time, after nap time, pretty much whenever she wants! Whatever keeps her happy and learning is okay with me! But sometimes when I am in the car and there is no music, "Lets build a word with dog and duck and pig and sheep, there's ALWAYS a surprise"comes up in my head!





2. I am a HARDCORE Twilight fan. I even got my sister, and her mother in law and my mom to start reading them. Its taken a while to be able to talk to them about the books, which i desperately needed. I hate not being able to talk to someone about the books I read. I need to join a book club when I get to San Diego. I can't wait for the movie to come out! November 21st. I even challenged one of the boys that I nanny. If he reads the whole 1st twilight book before I come home for Christmas that I will take him on a special date to see the movie! Just me and him. He is doing pretty good at it! He is almost 10. hahaha





3. I love to clean. Other peoples houses! Like at my job. I love having their house totally clean before I leave for the day. Which is part of my job, but I am super anal about it. It has to be super nice and neat. But when it comes to my house, not so much. But I think that will change when Deric and I have our own house. (I hope)





4. I LOVE to throw parties. I love dinner parties in particular! It makes me so happy to have a nice clean house with lots of pretty dinner dishes. A really nice table scape and lots of nice dishes to put them out on too. I think Deric and his friends might have to sample a lot of that when I move to San Diego. Hopefully they don't care free food!





5. I love shows that make you think. Like CSI, BONES and Numbers. and Movies like that too. I don't really care that much for love movies (well just kidding) but honestly I would rather watch a thinker movie. The Sential, Vantage Point. Something that makes me think of all the clues and who committed the crime! I love it. But they do give me nightmares.





6. I have to sleep on my stomach. I can go to bed laying on my side or my back, but the second i turn over onto my stomach I am out. Its fast too. So if I know I need to go to sleep at night, I go straight to my stomach, but if I know I have sometime and want to think, I lay on my side. Kinda weird I know!

GUESS WHAT!!!!!

I finally did it!

I got all 400 inviations to the wedding DONE! I addressed and my mom stuffed them and I stamped them all! They look great and should be coming to a mail box near you.

One Awesome/CRAZY week.

So Monday I got a call from the Bridal store that I got my dress from. They told me that the dress I had ordered for the wedding was IN!!!! I was so excited. I took off with little Addie and went to go see it!

To my dismay, it was the WRONG dress. Seriously it was UGLY. I couldn't believe it. Luckily the owner of the store took responsibility for the dress being wrong and now they have changed it to the RIGHT dress and are paying to have it rushed shipped to us. Lets hope it gets here in time!At work this week I have had the chance to watch the 2 cutest two year olds!!!!
Addie and Alexander. I watch Addie everyday but we added Alexander into the mix this week! His dad is a new ENT at Geoff's office. I am so excited to have the Husein's here to stay! What a great family! Okay so seriously HOW CUTE IS THAT FACE! Addie is adorable! that is her new funny smile that she does! So dang cute! And Alexander wasn't to big into looking at the camera, but I think he really enjoyed that cookie he had! These two together were so much fun! Always playing cars and wanting to go outside! Tons of fun!

Two Wednesdays ago as I was taking Chase to a doctors appointment on the south hill my favorite radio station KIX 96.1. If you were the 6Th called you got tickets to go to the Good Guys Rod and Custom car show! I was lucky enough to win! I never win anything! I am always like the 5Th called or the 1st. But it worked out. Chase was really excited that I won too. He actually recorded me on the radio. It was pretty funny!

But who better to take to a classic car show then this guy!

When I think of classic cars I automatically think of my Dad!

So I took my Dad out on a date yesterday!!!! It was a lot of fun! We saw a bunch of awesome cars! It was so fun to be with my Dad cause he told me all about the engines and the blowers and how to tell the difference between the cars from their headlights and tail lights. I had NO idea how many cars my dad had before he had kids! WOW he had some AWESOME cars. Too bad he had to be responsible and get rid of them all for us kids.

Our favorite car was this 1958 black corvette! Its a beauty! and my dads DREAM car. There weren't as many Corvettes as we were hoping for. But there were a lot of cars that I had no idea even were in existence! hahah

How cool is this truck! Its an old Milk delivery truck. It sold Grade B milk. I have no idea what that is. But it totally reminds me of something off of Dr. Seuss. So cool!

It was an awesome week! I am so glad that everything got figured out with my dress and lets hope it comes in right!

I still can't believe that I am going to be leaving Addie and the boys. It makes me sad to think about, but again its going to be worth it to be married to my best friend! Which by the way he is totally amazing! It sucks being away, but Stacy keeps reminding me that distance makes the heart grow fonder. It sure does. I can't wait to see him in a couple of weeks and then be married and sealed to him for eternity! Its going to be amazing. My Sister-In-Laws little brother Steve got married last week and I went to his reception last night and it just made me want my wedding to come faster! I love Deric so much and can't wait till September 26Th! OH and invitations are ordered! So if you would like one make sure I get your email or address.

Breaking Dawn!

I know these really has NOTHING to do about the wedding. But this sure makes me happy!

I got totally sucked in to the whole Twilight series in April and have read all 3 books. Last night the 4Th book came out. and I have to admit that I was at Barnes and Nobles at 11:00 last night waiting till midnight with all the other crazy, obsessed people for Breaking Dawn to be released. It was a lot of fun. I am kinda sad I didn't dress up. But still I got my book and I know what I am doing all day!!!! Along with preparing a lesson for Relief Society.

Engagement Pictures!

YAH!!! We have our engagement pictures back! I am just gonna put a few of my favorites up! PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK! I think they look really cute but I am totally biased!

WhirlWind Weekend.

Deric and I had the best weekend over the 4Th! It was really crazy busy but lots and lots of fun!

So from the beginning! Deric flew in on Monday June 30Th. On the 1st we took our engagement pictures here in Liberty Lake. Thank you so much Heather for taking the time to do those for us! I can't wait to see what they look like! We had a lot of fun taking those, hiking up hills and lots of good kissy pictures!!!

We left for Moses lake on Thursday morning. It was so much fun getting to meet Derics grandparents, aunts and uncles and cousins! I was really nervous at first meeting the family, but they were so loving and made me feel right at home! We had such a good time there! Jet skiing on Moses Lake, tubing (which i think i am still sore from!) and of course playing some cribbage. Which Deric and his family play all the time! I have never seen guys play that game so many times! It took me a while of watching to catch on. But Uncle Steve and I kicked butt on the last night 2 times! Thanks Steve for putting up with me and helping us win!

On the 4Th of July Deric's Dad Eric got married! It was a beautiful wedding! They got married on Deric's grandparents lawn right over the water. It was beautiful, besides the wind. It got really windy, but that didn't stop anything! It was a lot of fun! Eric and Rachel are so cute together! I am so glad that I was there to share in that day! Made me really want Deric and mine wedding date to come sooner! But after a reality check, I am not ready yet with all the wedding details!

Well after the wedding it decided to start raining, pretty dang hard too. So a bunch of us went to the local bowling alley. Eric is pretty dang good at bowling and showed us all up! But Deric took one of the team and got the lowest score, so all of the girls wouldn't feel bad for sucking it up so bad! Thanks babe! Well after we were done bowling, it got warm again, so we all headed home to play outside!

Went tubing again, and playing some catch. Even little 2 year old Justin got to ride on the tube! He was so happy and felt so big riding with Deric and I. It was super cute! He kept telling PaPa to go faster and saying HIT IT!

On Saturday morning we left pretty early to head over the Mt's and go to Seattle to see my sister Katie and her Family. Well the main part was to go to see the Mariners play the Detroit Tigers.

We were able to go to Rain Forest Cafe at South Center for Lunch. It has been a long time since I have been there! It was so much fun to see my Niece Breanna's face when all the animals would make noises, or see her face light up when there would be a thunder storm! After lunch we headed over to an arcade and had a lot of fun! Deric and my brother in law Chris got to ride on go carts, which looks like they had fun in the rain. We got to play a lot of skeet ball and watch my niece go crazy with all the tickets we won for her!

After the arcade we went to the Mariners game! Deric was super excited! We had awesome seats too! Right by the 1st base line, pretty close to the foul line ,19 seats up! Thank you Katie and Chris for getting the tickets for us all! Lots of people around us were getting balls left and right. We almost caught a T-Shirt , but some kid caught it right in front of me! And I had the amazing garlic fries in my hand and I wasn't about to drop them for a shirt! I did buy my very first Mariners shirt! Deric was very shocked that I haven't ever had one before!

It was an awesome game, kept us on edge the whole time! We did win though! In the 8Th inning we finally got a home run and a runner batted in! Exactly what we needed in time! My niece got totally into the game and was cheering for ChiChi Ro the whole time! He is her favorite! She kept asking me and Uncle Deric where he was, and what he was doing. At the beginning of the game she wanted to know where he was. So I told her that he was in the bathroom getting ready and doing his hair. So she told her mommy that she needed to go the bathroom. When they got there she told her mommy that she didn't need to go potty but she just wanted to make sure he wasn't in the bathroom near us. I thought that was pretty cute!

Needless to say we had a very eventful 4Th of July weekend. Lots of fun meeting Deric's family, well now my new family! I loved everyone there. Its kinda funny cause now all of his aunts and uncles and Grandma text me. Deric is kinda jealous because they don't text him.

Just a little update! 77 DAYS TILL THE WEDDING!!! not that I am counting or anything!

I have lots of pictures, so I am just gonna add them at the end!
