Flowers, and Showers

I finally got my flowers done! There was a lot of back and forth with my mom and I, but we have finally decided on a florist and we decided on our flowers. The deposit is paid, flowers picked out and a pick up time set! It looks like I'm going to have a cascading bouquet of roses, day lillies, calla lillies, and daisies in Autumn colors. It really sounded like a beautiful bouquet and I can't wait to see the final product! My mom and I also got a lot of the decorations decided for the wedding, so now it is much easier to picture what my wedding day will actually look like :)

For all my family members (and soon-to-be family members) who would like advance notice about the wedding shower so that you can plan around it- The date has officially been set for Saturday, August 25th. The shower will be between 2-4 PM at my parents ward house in South Jordan (10227 South 4000 West). Invitations will be sent out soon, but I do know that sometimes the mail gets lost or delayed so if you don't get an invite, but you planned on coming, please come anyway. For my friends there will be another shower/engagement party at a later date, so please allow me to spend this time with my family. I have a large family and Bob has a large family, so there will already be a lot of people there to meet me or spend time with me without me being distracted by a room full of my friends. Thanks!

We are also really close to finally booking our honeymoon! Thanks to Bob's mom Marcie, and his grandma's gracious loan to us, we have the money to pay for our honeymoon! We have a certain destination picked out, but Bob needs his passport for us to go so we are waiting until it comes to officially book it. I would hate to pay for a honeymoon that we can't go on... He has everything filled out, and ready to go so now it's just a waiting game!

Today we also got a final statement from our apartment complex along with (wait for it) A CHECK for almost $200. I didn't think we would get any money from our deposit back since we had pets and we painted the walls, but I guess Bob and I rock at cleaning and painting! Nothing is better than surprise money while planning a wedding!
