Happy Wedding Day, Bowling

Friday Tyler's brother Marc was married in the Bountiful Temple to his love Chantel. It was such a pretty day for a wedding. Chantel looked gorgeous when she came out of the temple. Her bouquet had thee prettiest flowers that a lot of us had ever seen.

While waiting for the couple to get their pictures taken my cute soon to be family-in-laws played by the water fountain with the cute girls. I loved how happy and cute everyone looks in this picture :)

On Saturday Tyler as well as my lovely mother and father had the privilege to go to The Bridal Show at Thanksgiving Point with me. I must admit it was a loooong day but it still was very fun. I did one of the stage contests that they had that was like the TV show Minute to Win It, although i was pretty good at the first challenge and was the closest one to winning, the judge changed the rules right as i was about to win, and I lost. It was still fun tho and I got a $25 gift card for jewelry which was fun. I also won a drawing for a $300 gift card for laser hair removal so that was nice :) While we were at the bridal show we found our photographer and videographer. They have really good work and they are a husband and wife so you know that they will work well together on our wedding day. Their business is called Mo*Tif you can click on their name to see some of their work.

After the bridal show we met up with Kyle and Megan and went to Boondocks for a ravishing game of Bowling. Now we all know Kyle is professional at bowling so his amazing score didn't count. I beat Tyler and to me that was all that mattered :) When we got back to my place after bowling we ate pizza, hot wings, and ended the night in my hot tub.

All in all it was a great weekend

Sleep over with Auntie

My adorable nephew Jaden and I got to have a little sleepover last night. He went to bed in his crib but when he awoke crying I decided I'd let him cuddle up next to auntie all night long. It was the cutest thing. I'd wake up in the middle of the night and he'd be cuddling on my chest with his arms wrapped around me. So i'd move him back to his spot that he could be comfy and then i'd wake up again to him cuddling with me. Finally I just let him lay on top of me and we cuddled all night long.

He loves playing and wrestling with the puppies

This is his face he makes when he wants to make sure you're watching him.

So darn cute.

He loves getting kisses from Deogi

He loves his favorite Auntie :)

Love you Jay.

Dreams DO come TRUE

Yesterday I had the privilege to fullfill the little girl dreams inside of me and go Wedding Gown shopping with my mother. We had so much fun trying on all these different dresses and seeing which styles I did and didn't like. First we went to A Bride Beautiful. They had some really pretty dresses and I even found my best friend Maggie's wedding gown there, she just doesn't know it :) I fell in love with two gowns their but mostly because the jacket that I had on top of it was stunning. After that we rushed to Fantasy Bridal for our next appointment. While there I wasn't feeling completely engulfed in any of the dresses. I was comparing them all to the two previous dresses that I had been head over hills for. I just wasn't think I was gunna get anywhere with that store. Finally the owner of the shop came over right as I was telling the girl helping me how I loved the top of one dress, and the bottom of the other and I had just wished that they had a dress that was like a marriage between the two dresses. Was it my lucky day? Holy Hannah yes it was!! The owner comes over to me with a stunning dress that just got in the night before. No one had worn it yet, it hadn't even been pressed yet. It's like it was meant to be. I couldn't wait to rush back to my dressing room to put it on. When i walked out to where my mom was sitting I could just tell by the look on her face that she loved the dress. From the second on saw myself in it in the mirror I could not stop smiling. I had a grin from ear to ear. Finally Mauricea, the girl helping me, looks at me and says "Chantel, is this your dress?" IT WAS!! I was so excited. My silly mom wouldn't stop bragging about how she was right with saying that she thinks i'd like this style and that i'd look good in this certain dress and I was so set on what I wanted that I didn't give a thought to her ideas. Until I realized I looked AMAZING in the style she wanted :)

I'm a very happy girl.

My dress will be here by the 2nd week in May, and the fabric to make my dress Temple appropriate will be in by the end of May. Unti

l then, I will dream of my dress every night until we are reunited again :)))

Bridal Showers and Clue

Last weekend was a lot of fun. My Fiancé's brother is getting married to a girl who coincidentally is also named Chantel so on Friday we had a Bridal Shower for it. Brenda, Steph, and Jen all did a really good job putting it together and making sure everyone was having a good time. We started the evening off with playing a matching game where you had to match a word that related to the wedding with a candy bar. Lets just say i ROCKED at that game. After I had already won 4 candies I decided I'd start helping all the ladies around me get some candies. I guess a photographic memory can sometimes be a good thing. After that we had amazing Taco Salads with pulled pork like the kind from cafe rio. IT WAS DELICIOUS. they did a wonderful job preparing the food. Later we had a word game where Chantel had to guess the word that was on her Tiara and then she would get a gift that related to it. Chantel and Marc are getting sealed for time and all eternity tomorrow in the Bountiful Temple and I am so excited for the two of them. Congrats guys!

On Saturday I got to meet one of Tyler's old friends, name Kyle, who is also engaged. Him and his fiancé Megan were so much fun to be with. We started the night off by going to Jakes Over the Top and getting some delicious ice cream. After we were done laughing and enjoying ourselves there we went back to their apartment and played a ravishing game of clue. It was such an intense game!! It wasn't like the typical clue that everyone is used to playing while they grow up. Nope it was a new version that was much, much more detailed and intense. I was the first one to guess on what was in the envelope and I was killed. Dang you Megan! she through me off with her guesses making me think I had everything right. Luckily Kyle won, which made him very happy.

Once we were done with clue we headed to the Megaplex in Ogden to see the hilarious movie Just Go With It. I throughly enjoyed every minute of this movie. It was funny, and romantic, and very entertaining. Something that I however don't get, and Tyler COMPLETELY disagrees with me on this, BUT I do not think Brooklyn Decker is all that she's cracked up to be. Yes she is pretty, i'm not denying that but for being one of Sports Illustrated's swimsuit model I don't think she deserves that title. There is just something about her belly that really bothers me and i don't know why!! I guess its just cuz i feel like I could hit the gym consecutively for a few weeks and look like her. Who knows. Maybe i'm crazy?

Tempanyaki and Cirque Du Clearlink

Last weekend was a lot more eventful than a normal weekend for me and Ty. We usually just go to dinner and a movie or hang out around the house with family but not this weekend.

FRIDAY:
One of my good friends from high school was celebrating her 21st birthday! Happy Birthday Biffer! So a bunch of girls that I went to high school with met up at Tepanyaki in Layton to celebrate. Tyler came with me and he also enjoyed himself. It was good to see some of the girls that I was close friends with, to see how some have changed, and catch up on what was going on with everyone. We ordered Sushi and it was okay, but definitely NOT my favorite sushi i've had. After dinner Tyler and I went and watched a movie with my friend Holly and her boyfriend Jordan and his mansion of a house. IT WAS HUGE and extremely nice. I was forced to pick out the movie so I decided on The Bucket List because it's a great movie and makes me cry every time. Everyone else was a little iffy on my selection because they said that every time they tried to watch it they fell asleep. Well out of everyone, I happened to be the one who fell asleep! haha. It was good to hang out with some new people especially because they are in the same stage of life as we are for the most part.


SATURDAY:
besides working from 8-5 saturday was a good day. After I got off work I headed home to get ready for Tyler's work party based on the Theme Cirque Du Soleil. We had gone shopping earlier in the week for masks to wear to the party. His work rented our The Rail in Salt Lake as their venue for the party and it was the perfect place! They had all kinds of yummy food from ceasar's salad to pasta to strawberry sprite. After the awards they had a quick intermission with desserts. This was my favorite part! They had a cotton candy machine, carmel, and white chocolate covered popcorn, carmeled apples, basically things you'd find at a fair. the hypnotist they hired wasn't funny at all and he was a little crude which made it not very enjoyable, not to mention not even half of the people who went up to get hypnotized actually got hypnotized. All in all it was a lot of fun, plus it gave me an excuse to get all doll'ed up and feel pretty :)

The Set Up for the party was incredible

The entertainment was filled with Dancers, Jugglers, and Rope Twirlers

I Won't Have to Deal With... When i'm married

Top 10 Things I won't have to worry about when I'm married:

1. Maybe a box of cereal will last more than a half day in the pantry. Along with granola bars, popsicles, fruit snacks, and any other yummy treat.

2. I won't have to track down who stole my deodorant

3. My piggy banks belly will be as full as it was the day before

4. My wireless internet will be a lot faster because my brothers won't be stealing all the bandwidth with their Black Ops, Call of Duty, and multiple other games

5. The Take-Out left overs that I was so excited to eat the next day will STILL be right where I left them in the fridge

6. My razor will no longer have "mystery" hairs that do not belong to me in it

7. I won't get blamed for my dog going potty on the carpet because "casper" will no longer be letting him out of the bathroom when I am not home

8. The shoes/earrings that I buy cannot be claimed by my mother because they will reside in my jewelry box, in my house

9. No one can yell at me for my room or bathroom being a little disorderly

and LASTLY

10. I can walk around in my undies or go to the bathroom with the door open without someone yelling at me.

Ohhh wedding day, come faster :)

From Single to... Engaged?!

So Valentine's this year held a little more importance than all the others considering I am no longer A SINGLE LADY! Yes Tyler proposed The Saturday before Valentines day.
Our day went a little like this.
We hung out at my house until I "thought" we were getting ready to leave to go see Gnomeo & Juliet. Wrong. We end up at The Joseph Smith Memorial Building for dinner at The Roof. Dinner was amazing and it was both of our first times being there so we were loving the entire experience. My favorite part of the dinner was enjoying the delicious raspberry butter for the rolls, Chicken Cordon Blue, and The Beef Medallions. Sadly I was a little let down with their desserts because from what I had heard they were divine. After Dinner it was just a typical rest of the night. We went back to my house and just enjoyed the rest of our night. I fell asleep and Tyler left to go home (or so I thought)1:30 am
Whah Whah Whah Whah Whah that was the sound awaking me from my deep slumber of what I thought to be my house on fire. I awoke in sheer panic as I tried to make sense on what was going on. I tried looking around my room as best as I could with the lights off to try and figure out where the sound was coming from. I then realized the trick was on me and it was only coming from the iPhone under my pillow with an alarm going off. Once I was finally able to turn the alarm off there was a note next to it. Now the not thinking part of me decided that instead of turning on my light I'd use the measly light emitted from my cell phone to try and read the note. After reading it 5 or 6 times and still being a little confused I decided I'd call the mastermind behind the note and call Tyler. He informed me that I was to meet him at the Overpass by Pond's Park as soon as possible.... yes many women might think "ooh it's almost Valentine's Day, could this be the proposal I've been dreaming of?" Not me. I figured maybe he was surprising me with a necklace or some kind of early present for Valentine's day but NOT my ring.
So I slowly pull up onto the top of the overpass to see Tyler standing in the middle of the road. He tells me to leave my headlights on as I begin to make my way over to where he was standing. It was only when I say Tyler's brother Marc and his fiance (who is also named Chantel) standing there with a video camera that it dawned on me. The Proposal was adorable. No I did not cry, unfortunately because I was still a little out of it, but none the less it was very memorable.
