HOW TIME FLIES...

I cannot believe that it is 17 days before Ry and I are official!! I have been super bad on keeping up on what is going on in our lives. So i will just give a quick review of what has been going on. The month of May was pretty low key for me; i started my personal training certification (that i am still in the process of working on), planned my bestfriend, Ashton's, baby shower in Utah (that is where and when my camera broke, so the pictures are going to be sparse for the past few months), had dance recitals and competitions for Mareesa, celebrated my Mommy's birthday, and just enjoyed being home. Ry kept busy with Gem State Staffing, which he still enjoys and he is SO happy that i am finally home. We also had our engagement pictures taked:-) I LOVED them, and Ry secretly loved them even though he would beg to differ, we were both starving by the end so we finished our picture night off with dinner at Pasta Vignos, it was delicious and our pictures turned out amazing!!

It has been so fun being home with my family and being so close to Ry, we have so much fun everyday and we can't wait to spend the rest of forever together.

The month of June got a little more crazy... wedding plans continued, i ordered my announcements at the beginning of the month, finalized cake details, and got a job as a receptionist at Physicians Immediate Care Center. I have loved my job and learned lots of new things and made lots of fun, new friends (part of my blogging inspiration). Ry and i took a trip to Jackpot, Nevada for his work party. We drove, and Jeremy (Ry's boss) and Katie, his wife, rode with us, we had a great drive to Twin Falls, where we met and went boating with the rest of the company employees from all over Idaho. That night we had a big banquet with delicious food, and lots of really boring business talk...it lasted FIVE hours. Anyway after the dinner we went to the casino and played black jack with the company owner, Stan, forever---i was really good for a first timer. The next day Ry woke me up at the crack of dawn so he could try his luck one more time before we left, he did ok and then we stopped at one more casino on the way out and i got up like $60, i was so proud of myself. The ride home was great, i think i slept most of the way.
So later that week (i think) was a big day for my family, Marcus got his mission call!!!! He took a motorcycle into the mountains so he could open it alone, and then all of our friends and family were waiting for him, and he opened it for us when he got back. He had glued it shut so we didn't think that he had opened it yet (of course, always a little trickster). Anyway he opened it and he is going to Rapid City, South Dakota Spanish speaking; he leaves August 27th and we take out endowments out together on July 29th in the Idaho Falls temple. I am so excited that he can see Ry and i get married!!



Another huge part of our summer has been softball. Ryan signed us up for a city intramural league and we have games every week, sometimes three times a week. I have improved quite a bit, and Ry hit his first home run of the season last night!
