10 Weeks & 63 Days.. I'm Not Counting Down..

Well some of the biggest things are done like:

Union Station for the reception

I have a dress, shoes, hairpiece, bracelet..

Cotton Candy machine

Photo Booth

Temple Picked

Colors

Now its just the little things like the cake, finalizing invitations, decorations, napkins, flowers, ties.. okay so I guess the list of LITTLE THINGS.. aren't really little in themselves..

I am hanging in though, without the help and patience of my mom and sisters I'd probably still be in la la land and still just staring at my ring. (lie, I still stare at it)

I have come to realize that there are also a million plus one things I can do with our new house. I am so thankful we get that nice of a place but I am sick of the BACHELOR PAD. Don't worry I have made decorations to liven the place up although Kelly's roommates aren't really fans of a cute "LOVE" sign being on the front door.. :)

10 weeks till I have a new last name.. Lots to do, I guess I should enjoy it while it lasts.

Conversations Between Us

Well when your dating the topics between each other are: Do you want to go to dinner tonight? How was work? What are you doing this weekend?

...Then a change happens like getting ENGAGED..and. BOOOOMMMM...

Conversations:

"Do you like these colors or these?"

"What do you want to wear for engagements?"

"What are we doing for the luncheon, wedding video, gifts, decorating?"

"When we are married lets do this ______?"

"Can I paint this wall red?" "Uhm, I don't care just okay things through me first?"

"Do I get to keep snowmobiling?"

"Is it okay if I do this, this weekend?"

"Can we plan what we are going conquer tomorrow?"

"What about this cruise?"

...Yup, 100,000,000,000 things change once your engaged. I have loved it but I love it even more when nights are peaceful and we just can sit and enjoy each other like we did before we were engaged.

Kelly literally has been great through all this bridal, wedding craziness. Although sometimes he may think he's left in the dark I try to clue him in on what's going on. He's patient and if you know me then you pretty darn well know I need a guy that was patient. :)

Sweaters & Zebra

Kelly's mom loves Nala. She took her friday night and when Kelly picked her up after snowmobiling she was found sporting this doggy sweater. Which made me think of dressing her up more.. Okay my dog is turning into a person.

The sweater says: "Santa thinks I'm sleeping"

His mom found it at Walmart for a dollar.. its cute. I am already thinking of what to do for halloween costumes!

...Hmmm So this post says ZEBRA.. for christmas Kelly gave me the cutest ZEBRA LoveSac. His mom gave me this adorable ZEBRA chair from Kohls. I was so happy when Kelly told me what it was its an early wedding gift. The funny thing is that I have seen a chair that was just like this and wanted it and now I have it! :)

Cupid Day.

Valentines Day

One Word: AMAZING.

Kelly had bought tickets to Lady Antebellum. I love the group and almost know every song. Kelly however doesn't like them as much but he liked Darius Rucker and Thompson Square who opened. Kelly has sensitive ears so by the end he had a headache and was tired.

Kelly spoiled me and gave me some gorgeous white roses. A 12 pack of Coke and a bag of M&M's. He made a note that said. "You are the sugar of my life". He kind of is a stud!

While he was gone at work I went over to his house and made a trail of candy from his bedroom door to his bed and placed a HUGE card on his bed. He loves dippin' dots ice cream and so I bought him some and stuck it in his freezer he was happy about that. :)

New Adventure: Snowmobiling

I don't know if its because I love Kelly that I went snowmobiling or because it literally was a new adventure?!

Saturday we got up early and drove to Monte Cristo to go snowmobiling. Kelly's friends Brian & Bishop Thompson came along. I had never met them and I am pretty sure after that day they think Kelly is a very strong guy for picking me.

I thought that snowmobiling would be similar to four wheeling but instead of being hot... freezing cold. The weather wasn't bad.. but I learned its not like four wheeling because Kelly doesn't stay on trails they find there own path which led to me not knowing what to do when he stood up and leaned on one side..

Yes, I flew off the back of the snowmobile TWICE. The first wasn't bad but the second hurt! Although it was fun I was a little scared going up the huge mountains and jumping off some of the things we did.

Fact: Men have NO FEAR.

Fact: Men forget that the girl on back of their snowmobile DO HAVE FEAR.

Overall it was a great day and I saw how much snowmobiling means to Kelly. I told him that he can go next time with the guys and I will stay at home.. unless we can go "meadow riding".. Definiton. What Normal people do on snowmobiles not crazy people.

I am glad for the adventure and it almost accomplished some of my fears of heights and made me trust the machine we were on. Although we did burn through the belt luckily their was a back up one so we weren't stranded. :)

Please Welcome in Puppy Nala!

Oh geez. I promised to do better at this blog.. don't worry I will. Give me a break, I have a wedding to plan.

Okay so Kelly as wanted a Boxer for who knows how long. A few weeks ago my cat Nala died. It was sad to see her go but she lived a happy life. Although she is one of those pets you'll never forget teasing, petting and laughing at.

We were looking at dogs on KSL for a long time and I finally ran across one that fit budget and wasn't in no mans land. I told Kelly and he said we could go.. We drove to Salt Lake after his work and left with a cute female Boxer.

While we were their the owner said go get Nala. I immediately said is Nala her mom? ..The owner responded Yes. I knew right then and there that this would be Nala Jr. :)

Nala Jr The Second.

Born: December 10 2011

Color: Brown with white markings

We bought her on: January 26 2012

She is the cutest little thing, she is playful and was only 8 weeks when we got her. We realize more and more everyday that her bladder is tiny and that she makes accidents a lot. We realize that she doesn't like her Blue brand dog food and loves the rice stuff from Kelly's Mom. She gets more and more active. Kelly always has said animals will be outside.. I somewhat believed him until he admitted that she had slept in his bed with him in no kennel. He says his "heart grew two more sizes" ... I am trying to get him to soften up. She is kinda like raising a kid besides that she'll be potty trained and maybe a little well mannered faster than a toddler. :)

We love her and are happy to have a new edition to our family! :) Yahoo!

Lava Hot Springs. Fire & Ice Festival.

This past weekend Kelly & I and his friend Carli & Dan went to Lava Hot Springs. I had never been up there but was willing for the ADVENTURE. I am learning just how adventurous I have to be with marrying Kelly.

Friday we spent the day driving there, snowshoeing around some mountains in Soda Springs. Playing at the Caribou Motel (its been opened since the 40's). We went to a Comedy show as well which was really funny. Although for some reason comedians poke a lot of fun at Utah oh well some were funny..

Saturday we just hung out at the hotel till mid afternoon. Went snowshoeing again in a new place in Soda Springs. The Fire & Ice Festival happens every year. They have things for people to do, contests and surprisingly a lot of people go. This year there wasn't as many because they don't have much snow in Lava. We ate dinner at a good homestyle restaurant it was kinda like Moore's. Then we spent about four hours in the Hot Pots. I was not sure about the hot pots. One reason it is NOT Swimsuit season. Two I thought I was going to be getting in some pool that was like boiling.. I was wrong about both reasons because their were people who looked HORRIBLE and could be well great candidates for my favorite show "What Not To Wear". Also, the pots weren't that hot they range from about 102 to 109 degrees. I didn't mind the range of hotness and it actually felt really good besides there were a lot of people there it was still fun.

We have gone on a date before with Carli & Dan. They are a lot of fun and need to get married they have dated for almost a year and a half. Kelly & I will definitely convince them to get married. :)

Sunday we drove home and picked back up our puppy from his mom's house she just loves Nala. She made her some good chicken & rice dish. When Kelly got there to pick her up she was wearing a jacket from a stuffed animal. His mom also made a small blanket for her. We are SPOILED. Nala, really is a great puppy and is fun.. its just hard to juggle it all. Kelly had to go into work from 11 pm to 7 am that night so he didn't get to watch the Superbowl. He didn't seem to care to much he's not a huge sport fanatic like my father.

It was a great weekend. Kelly spoils me and loves me even though I am cranky and sometimes lazy. I love him very much and am thankful for what he does although a lot of the time I don't say "Thank You".. Its a 'Malone Girl Gene Malfunction' as Kelly would say.

Now Stare At Some Pictures Of Us:

Kelly fell out of a tree.. Okay no, he broke it. He was trying to mimic a video on YouTube.

He failed... and in the process ripped his favorite jacket.. It was funny to watch though.
