So much to do and so little time!

So much has happened and so much still needs to get done! 10 days until the wedding and I'm so stinking excited! Last week was an incredibly busy week! My mom called the photographer to see if we could set up a time to take pictures at the temple before the wedding so that we don't have so many to take the day of. Well she set up a time...7 in the morning on Saturday! And I didn't have my veil, or my flowers, or Jon's ring! And Jon didn't have a tux, or his tie! Needless to say we spent a lot of time getting everything together so that it would all run smoothly. And it did! We got everything done and I can't wait to see how they turned out!

You'll probably laugh, but Jon and I are only halfway registered at Bed Bath and Beyond. You see when we went the first time we had to stop because I got sick to my stomach. Since then we haven't had an time whatsoever to go and finish registering. And now Jon will be working 12 hour days up until the wedding...so we may not have time (or the energy) to finish registering! Ahhhh!!!!
Did you know that there is a very small and limited selection of orange dresses? I want my bridesmaids to wear orange and boy was it an adventure to try and find orange dresses! My mom and I spent lots of time shopping just trying to find dresses that are orange! Well we had no luck...but we did find some amazing white dresses. And guess what we did! We bought them and decided to try to dye them orange. It worked! :) Now many hours, orange hands, and lots of water later I now have 4 orange bridesmaids dresses! Here are some pictures of the process:

Here is the dress in the dye bath. That's some orange water!

Here it is on it's first rinse. You're supposed to rinse it until the water is no longer orange...I can't say I've ever had that much patience. The water will be orange forever!

The dress. It's still wet and not done rinsing. It drys a lot lighter.

Yes, my hands did indeed turn orange as I stirred the dress in the dye bath to make sure it dyed evenly. You should see my nails...they're basically all orange!

Here's one of the finished dresses. They turned out pretty good :)

Last week was my bridal shower and I had a lot of fun! There were lots of people there that I really wanted to see! But not everybody could make it...I am still sad that Jess is in Utah and can't be here. At least she'll be here for the wedding. That's the most important part right?

Engagement Pictures

Cherie Mask took our engagement pictures for us on April 24th. We absolutely love all of them! So I decided to share some with you.

29 days and an update finally!

So I'm a little behind on updates. Haha OK...a lot behind. But can you blame me? I've been slightly preoccupied with my fiancé and planning a wedding. That's right! I'm getting married in 29 days (June 5, 2010) to the most amazing man ever, Jonathan Jacob Zuniga! So I think I owe you the whole story.

Hmmmm where to begin?! Well I guess we can start from my last post. We never officially started talking about marriage. It was more along the lines of I told him how I was feeling and that I got my answer that I am supposed to marry him without going into too much detail because I was afraid that I was completely off base. Well on March 20, 2010 Jon was dropping me off and we were saying goodnight at my doorstep when I told him that I love him a lot. He asked me just how much I love him and the first thing that came to mind was "I love you so much that I want to spend the rest of eternity with you!" But I couldn't say that! He had yet to really tell me anything relating to his feelings on the subject, so I skirted around my real answer and made something up. After a long hug (probably so that he could build up the courage) he got down on one knee and took both of my hands in his and asked me to marry him. Needless to say I was in complete shock! Here are some of the thoughts that shot through my mind in a couple of seconds: "Is this really happening?!" "Did he really just say what I think he said?" After I took a second to compose myself I realized that he needed an answer. And of course I said YES! After which he stood up to hug me and kiss me. Then he had to tell me that he was serious...to which I told him that I was as well. He told me that he loved me so much that he wanted to spend the rest of eternity with me, to which I agreed. It was only after all of this that he went and asked my dad for his blessing.

Since then life has been wonderful! We spend every moment that we can together and are getting excited to start our life together! June 5, 2010 is the day that I will become a Zuniga and be sealed to the man that I love for time and all eternity! I'm so excited to go through the temple as well! The Mesa Arizona temple has been my favorite temple for a long time and I can't wait to go through!
