Getting Close!

What a relief!!! Gabe and I finished the last of our invitations today, and mailed them all out!!! It is such a relief to finally have those big boxes out of my way and not have to worry about them anymore. Things are coming along really well. I can hardly believe that the wedding is like 3 weeks away!!! This past week has been so great. I finally got my temple recommend and Gabe finally got his last night. After much bugging and a lot of running around he finally got it. It almost seemed like he was never going to get it. But I am so proud of him. He got his priesthood on Sunday and he is now a elder. He was so excited!!! He told me the other day that anytime I wanted a blessing I should just ask. He is darn cute!!!!He has come such a long way in the church. He has such a great testimony of the church. Sometimes I think that he knows more about the church then I do, and I have been in it my entire life. All my life I have always wondered what it would be like to go to the temple and to be sealed to my family and now it is here. I am so grateful that I have a man that is worthy to take me there.  We are having our new bedroom set delivered tomorrow. I cannot wait. Gabe has been moving a few of his things in at time so that we don't have to move so much later. When I look around and I see all his stuff the reality of me living with a man is kinda scary. Do not get me wrong,  I am excited but it's going to be definatly a change. Life is good, we are so happy and I just want it to be here already!!!!!!

Last week I got up at the crack of dawn, and went to Layton. I got my hair done and then went to my parent's house. I then got into my wedding dress and was off taking my bridal pics. I must say that it was a little wierd being in my dress. It felt that I was really getting married Ever since I was a little girl I have always imagined what it would be like to get married and now it is here. As I was standing there all dressed up and watching my mom cry her eyes out, I knew that this was reality. I knew that prayers had been answered. I had been given such an amazing man and I was getting married to him. It has been a very emotional few days. This last Saturday, my good friend Annie threw me a bridal shower. It was so much fun. We played a game where Annie had asked Gabe some questions about himself and I had to answer them. If I got them wrong I had to put a piece of gum in my mouth. By the end of the game I had 7 pieces!!!!! I felt a little sick and I was determined that Gabe had made up some of the answers so that I would get them wrong. ha ha.  We got a lot of things for the house and it was great. I also got some unmentionables that was fun as well. I am so grateful for the good friends that I have and that they care about me  so much! Then on Sun when I walked into the church the 2nd counseler came running up to me and asked if I had gotten my temple recommend yet? I was not supposed to get until next week but I guess they are rearranging all the wards and the stakes soon and they wanted to get it all done. I was not prepared for this. I have always imagined that I would get married in the temple. It is something that I have always wanted. But this was it. I knew in my heart that I was ready, but I was not so sure that I was ready in my head to answer the questions. When sitting in front of the bishops office my hands sweated and i could not sit  still. Gabe leaned over and told me that everything was going to be alright. I was going to be just fine and that there was nothing to worry about. Well needless to say that he was right. I am going to go see the Stake President tonight to get everything done, but I was so glad that I got the recommend. I am getting married in the temple and I am so excited. Gabe and I are going through on April 30th. It is my dad's 60th birthday and he said that we could not give him a better gift then to go through the temple. I am so excited and  everything seems to  to be happening so fast. 31 Days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
