We are getting married in 17 days and counting!!



I am so excited I can barely stand it! Things are wrapping up as far as details go so all that's left to do is wait. My bridesmaids have their dresses, Alli and I finished my veil, we decided on a beautiful hairstyle (bonus: it makes my hair look SO thick, which is a major bonus since I don't have hair...I'm sure many of you remember me when I was young and my serious lack of hair was all over the place), the invitations are sent, and all the little details are falling into place. I still need to go pick up my dress, which I'm going to do next weekend. I. Can't. Wait.

After living alone this summer, having Colt gone more often than not, working in hell (sometimes referred to as Lin's), having a lot on my mind, and just being overall lonely, it was amazing to have my Mom come down here for a few days to visit me. She came in celebration of my birthday week. She came with me to my dress fitting, so I wouldn't have to go alone (it fit perfectly, by the way). We made cheesecake for Colt's birthday and spent most of our time playing wii fit and watching Harry Potter. She helped me pick out jewelry for the wedding and prepare to go to the temple. It was an amazing week. I had so much fun with my Mom and I'm not sure if she will ever know how grateful I am that she came to visit me this week. That is the best birthday present I could have ever received from her. I love my Mom!
