What a weekend it will be!!!

I've always dreamed of toms.

This past week has been crazy! I have been so busy. I honestly can't even remember any of it.
First of all, I got my temple recommend and set a date for my temple endowment. I helped design my wedding announcements. And I attended my second bridal shower on Saturday in Cedar! It was held by Linda, Drew's mom, and it was an absolutely beautiful day! She definitely knows how to throw a party and wow, I am so lucky to have the best in-laws ever!

And the best fiance ever.

And the best family ever.

And the best friends ever.

I loved being able to spend the day with my family and my best friend Tiana! And it was especially fun to see Drew for a couple minutes before he had to go to work. (I hadn't seen him for a week.. and I won't see him again until tomorrow up in Manti when we take our Bridals!! We're doing a "dress reveal" picture. I'm excited!)

I got my dress and I got my shoes. TOMS. Yep, I'm wearing toms with my wedding dress. Wahoo!

I also made my bouquet and boutonnieres this past week.

Yay for marriage and wedding prep!

And let's not forget about the temple. I cannot wait for this next weekend!!! 

Manti here I come!

Love,

Kate

Engagements are HERE

 They're finally here! Our engagement session was a blast. We met our photographer (my cousin Abbey from AK Studio & Design) down in St. George early in the morning. Although it was freezing, the pictures turned out beautiful!

Check them out here.

Aside from that, there is lots going on in the next couple weeks! Another bridal shower, our bridal photography session, SUU graduation, and my temple endowment! So stay tuned.

Love,

Kate

First bridal shower

My sweet aunts threw me a bridal shower on Saturday! It was so much fun and turned out to be great! The decorations were adorable, there was delicious food, and of course we were constantly surrounded by wonderful people.

All I can say is that I am so

b  l  e  s  s  e  d!

So here's a big THANKS to all who have contributed to this shower and to all those who were able to share this fun experience with me!

Love,

54 days

Hello! I'm just about to leave for Cedar this afternoon. We have engagement pictures next Wednesday in St. George and so I'm going down to spend a few days with Drew until then! Of course he works a bunch before then, but it will be okay. We'll go down to St. George either Monday or Tuesday and while we're down there we'll have a lot to do! We have to look for an apartment to live in and I need to apply to a few places for work.

I also get to pick up a flower crown that a friend of mine is making for me to wear for my bridals.

I am so excited for that!

So anyways, that's where I'll be the next few days.

Until then, happy April!

Love,

Kate

ps. I got shellac nails and I love them. That's all.

Guess what?

Guess what else?

The surprise is finally here! I have designed and created a new blog for mine and Drew's adventures. I couldn't wait till June so now I will be posting on both this blog and my new blog until we are married!

A trip with Tiana!

The day after Easter my best friend Tiana invited me to come down to St. George with her for a couple days. It was well needed! I loved spending time with her and catching up with her. It's tough living away from each other, but it's SUCH a blessing that when we do get together everything is as if nothing has ever changed.

 That goes for these girls as well! We met up with Whitlee and Candace and stayed at their cute house that night. We went out to dinner and then ended the night by riding go carts and playing miniature golf and arcade games at Fiesta Fun. It was a blast!

  Drew and his friend Taylor drove down from Cedar for the evening as well as Candace's boyfriend. It was a night full of laughter and competition! We all loved it! 

Vitamin C explains my feelings perfectly in her song titled, Graduation:

"As we go on

We remember

All the times we

Had together

And as our lives change

Come whatever

We will still be

Friends Forever"

I love these girls and they will always be some of my best friends!

Love,

Kate
