I normally don't like to post things that don't have pictures to go along with them. Mostly I just feel like people would rather see those instead of read my ramblings! However, I need to make this post to get it out into the void, and there's just no happy, fun picture to go along with it. Sorry! Anyway, people keep asking me about my wedding plans and where we're getting married, so I thought I'd just put it out there to everyone at once. As most of you know, Brady and I were planning on getting married in the Salt Lake Temple. Because we've both been married before, Brady had to get a sealing clearance and I had to get a sealing cancellation, so we've been waiting on that before making a final plan. I got my letter back this past week. They canceled my previous sealing, but they won't let Brady and I be sealed for 1 yr., so we're going to have to have a civil ceremony at Heritage Gardens. You can imagine my shock! It is the weirdest thing, and neither of us can even begin to understand it. The only real explanation we've received is from Brady's mission president who said the first presidency is doing that a lot now, because so many people keep getting divorced and remarried, and don't take their covenants seriously. I guess that makes sense...but still! Any of you who know either of us knows that definitely wasn't the case! We're both perfectly worthy to go to the temple, we can do sealings for other people, but WE can't be sealed? Needless to say, I was a complete wreck for about a day. Then Brady, being the rock in my life that he is, helped me to calm down and realize that the important thing is that we're getting married, and we just need to move forward. It hardly seems fair after all the two of us have been through, but we have to have faith that the Lord has his reasons for everything. So there it is. When you hear I didn't get married in the temple, there is no need for speculation. It is what it is. I think we'll do a session together the night before we get married, still enjoy having a fabulous wedding day celebrating our love for each other, and look forward to next year when we can finally be sealed for all eternity. It will be an awesome anniversary present at least! And it's like Brady says...we get to have 2 celebrations! He he he! :) He's just the best. He's so positive and never let's anything cramp his style. So even though it won't be exactly what we planned...we still just can't wait for November 3rd! :)
It's almost here! Brady and I are less than 1 month away from our special day! I can't wait!!! We're so freaking excited! I hope the next few weeks go by fast! But at the same time...I still have tons to do, so maybe not too fast! ;) We got our engagement pictures back this weekend and they turned out so good! Our photographer is amazing! You should check out her website! www.vanessamillecam.com She was so cute and made us a little video of our pics! Here is the link! Hope you all enjoy! :) http://video214.com/play/F7V355QNozQkz4I1Kv3Emg/s/dark
Okay, so again I've been a slacker and haven't posted forever! Sorry guys! To make life easier, I decided to do 1 big slide slow of a few things we've been up to so far this spring!
1. We moved Brady into his new house! Sorry the pics aren't great. Maybe I'll get more later.
2. We went to St. George...again! This time for the Knaras family reunion! It was way fun hanging out with the Thorns & Knaras's. I should've taken way more pictures...but I always feel dumb making a bunch of people stop what they're doing every 5 minutes to take my picture. So call me crazy...but I just opted for a few of little Crew boy in the pool. He's the funnest thing to look at anyway! ;)
3. Brady has been golfing quite a bit, and sometimes he let's me tag along! I wish I could play with him, but we all know that's just a disastrous thought! So I'm the cheerleader on the sidelines for now!
4. Madi Moo graduated from high school! Can you believe it?! I feel so old! Now she's off to live on her own & go to nursing school at UVU! Good luck Madsi!
5. Brady's cousin had his farewell...one of many family shindigs! It's always fun to get together with our families!
6. We've gone to Brady's happy little cabin near Park City a couple of times! It's way fun to get away for a night! But there's no running water...so a night is all I can take! But we love it! If you're wondering about the steak picture...funny story! On our first visit, Brady started the BBQ and the propane tank caught on fire & engulfed the whole thing in flames! Needless to say, our lives flashed before our eyes and the thing ended up torched! But luckily we got a new one, so we no longer have to cook our steaks on the mini stove! :)
So there you have it! I'll try to start being a lot better! But you guys better not slack because I love blog stalking all of you! So hopefully you're all having a Happy Spring! I think the rain is going to stop soon, and then it's on to summer! Here's to hoping! :0)
