Just 35 days left.

34 days!

MAN! time is flyin' by! all of a sudden i am only gonna be a single girl for 5 more weeks. WHAAAT?! pretty much my mom rocks and has been the best wedding planner a girl could ask for, everything is about done except picking out a cake and jake's ring, and mailing invites,and getting a backdrop, and bridals...and reception decorations, and bridal shower, and food. ..ookay so there is still quite a bit to get done. but most of the hard part is done that is good. Jake and I decided that we will most likly be heading out to Virgina for the summer, if everything goes as planned we will leave 10 days after we get married, and be back in august sometime. nothing like living one one coast then the other in a matter of months! :] We are super excited and counting downt the days!

Jake and shane came in on my lunch break at work and went out to the shooting range. Jake just bought a new gun and he wanted me to shoot it. I was all for it till i watched him shoot it. Then i decided it would prolly sprain my wrist, but he finally talked me into it. After i shot it i decided it wasn't too bad, but it took me a while to warm up to it. I still don't really like to shoot it, guns just aren't my thing, but hey, what can i say i am a dang good shooter. ;]

Jake is going to kill me for posting this, but i love it when he plays his guitar for me. I was in the bathroom getting ready and i ALWAYS listen to music when i get ready, and i was at jakes house so i didn't have any music so i begged jake to play for me, he got grumpy and kept saying no, and i kept begging him to play for me. So, finally, he gave in a played for me. I only got half of the last song he played on video, but he is quite the entertainer. :D

Cali

I thought since, i have not been working, and all i have to do is sit at home, i could post the pictures of jake and i in cali. He came to cali jan. 24th to pick me up and spent about 4 days out there with me, we went to Laguna Beach and Huntington Beach, it was alot of fun! We love California! We wanted to spend as much time as we could at the beach before we had to come back to Idaho and the yucky freezing snow :/. But it wasn't warm enough to swim, we still had fun!

Well, i guess it's offically offical now, we have our engagement pictures done. :] these are just a few of my favorites i made into a collage. I LOVE OUR PICS! Lynette did such a great job!!

Things are moving right along, i went and got my dress on wednesday and my veil and shoes and everything! Jake and i made our center peices, they are SUPER cute! It's so exciting to watch everything come together! Only 63 more days! woot woot!! I designed our announcement today, and so we will be getting those put together and start addressing our millions of invites. so we can mail them out in time. I didn't realize how much work a wedding was till we started planning, but it's alot of fun!

My Jakey

This is just a little video of jake, just for fun, he was being a punk, so i got him on camera, he's kinda cute when he is grumpy :] love you jake!

Well, since i haven't posted for a little over a month if figured i better post and catch ya'll up with what's happenin'. Christmas was amazing! I loved being home, seeing family, celebrating, playing, heck, i even loved the snow. :] I stayed busy the whole time, and even though i had 2 weeks i didn't get to see everyone i wanted to. Things got a little busier than i had planned for, Jake and I got engaged! We are super excited!

It was drews birthday on monday, so last saturday we all went up to Big Bear sledding, it was a pretty fun time, Jens mom was in town, so we had 7 people to pack in a car! The road was soo windy i got car sick, it wasn't a fun ride, but sledding was fun! There is a lake right near where we were sledding, and it was SO pretty and blue! You wouldn't guess you would find it in cali, cos the snow and the frozen water, but sure enough! :]

i know it seems like i should have alot to post because it's been a century since i have posted anything, but i really don't have much else to tell ya'll. :]

hey ya'll i just thought i would share with you this funny little story of what happen today. So i am just chillin at home alone, cos the brandenburgs had a pot-luck dinner to go to, and i was in my room, and my room is directly above the garage, so if the door opens or closes, i can hear it quite well. and while i was laying here in my bed working on my laptop i heard the garage door close, and thats' usually my indicator for the brandenburgs being back, so i listened for a few additional moments, and realized that the Brandedburgs were indeed, not home, and so i started to panic instantainously, thinking someone was either robbing the place or comming to kidnap me, i didn't worry alot about it till i let my mind wander and i had my music on pretty loud, since i was the only one home, i took advatage :] so i couldn't hear really well, but i thought i had heard the door open and close, and so i thought for sure someone was here, maybe jen had dropped andy off or visa versa ? well i really needed to go to the bathroom, so i get up to go, and it's directly down the hall from my room, strait shot, so i RUN to the bathroom, and i locked the door behind, me. when i had done what i needed to do in the bathroom, i decided that i was just to scared to go out because by then i had come to the conclusion that neither jen nor andy were there when i called both their names and noone answered, so i thought for sure the dude that was kidnapping me would be right outside the door, waiting. So i camped out in the bathroom, luckily i had my ipod with me and the ipod player in the bathroom, so i put on my music and tried to forget things, and texted jake, who didn't help, but only told me about scary movies to make things worse, i gave myself and hour and a half makeover- at 8 at night, until i heard jen and andy come home and decided it was safe to come out. Jen asked me where i was going and i told her i wasn't going anywhere she looked at me funny, then i proceeded to tell her the story, after a long period of laughter and finger pointing, she told me that they had come home for a moment and gotten a couple things, and shut the garage. So i camped out in the bathroom for about 2 hours, so the moral of the story is, always make sure you pee before you really have to go. :] that way you don't get stuck in the bathroom!
