Almost down to two hands..

Wow... we have 13 days left. I'm so excited! It is finally here. This past week it has definitely hit me in the face. There is still so much to do! I still have to find the ribbon I want for the popcorn! I don't even know if my aunt Cheri has started on the popcorn. Hopefully I can go and help her with it sometime tomorrow.

Last week my family gave me a shower at my aunt Sharon's house. It was awesome! They found a bride cowgirl hat with a veil. haha it was PERFECT! My family and close friends spoiled us! After we took everything down to our apartment and realized that we had almost everything we needed just from this one shower! We are nervous to see what we get for our wedding! We are running out of space in our kitchen! :)
Tomorrow is my friend shower. Kaitlyn is going to host it. I know she has put in a lot of time and effort to it. I'm really grateful! She is so awesome! It is supposed to be a 'help me get a home run' type of party! I'm super excited to see all my girlfriends!

This past week I met with my stake president and was able to get my recommend. I feel so awesome! I am going to get my garment and temple stuff tomorrow morning with my mom. I'm really excited!

20...

We have twenty days from today... WOW this has flown by so fast. I just want our wedding to be here already. We almost have everything ready to go. STILL waiting to hear back for the photo booth guy. He hasn't replied for over a three weeks now. I have called and left several messages with him. I emailed him a bunch too... Finally when I contacted the Las Vegas Branch he replied. I'm very irritated with him. I got my dress back this week too. I was supposed to get it last Friday for my bridals on Saturday but it wasn't in. So I had to cancel my bridals. Finally Monday it came in and my photographer Lindsay was able to get me in the next day for my bridals. Thankfully i didn't need any alterations with  my dress. August 4th is the day I receive my endowments! I'm so stoked. I got my temple recommend this week with Bishop, now just wait for next Thursday to meet with my Stake President. It is going to be the best experience. I'm really excited to have just Spence, my parents, and my grandma at it. Since they are the only people from my side that is worthy to enter the temple. My grandma has been going through the repentance process for a while. She wasn't sure if she was going to be able to have a recommend for my wedding but this week she was able to finalize her repentance process. She is going through the Draper temple today with my mother. I'm so excited for her. My grandpa great isn't doing so hot. He really wants to die. He misses my grandma great so much. He has been almost planning his death.. The other day he told my grandma where everything was like his will. He also told her he will try not to die before my wedding... :'( I love him so much! It will be a bitter sweet situation though. My grandma and him were so in love. They were Ali and Noah in the Notebook. They were crazy for each other. I know that when he goes to heaven, he will be reunited with my grandma. I am so thankful for the gospel. I know that families can be together forever. I'm excited to start that journey with Spencer in 20 days. :)
