Pretend Camping - October 26, 2001

Friday - October 26th

My new niece and nephew were over at Roger's Mom's house.  I had so much fun getting to know them.  We set up my tent and played pretend hiking and camping.  I love playing dorky games!  We had a lot of fun!

Roger and Jenny Pictures - October 22, 2001

Monday - October 22nd

We don't have a lot of pictures of us together, since we haven't known each other that long.  So, we have been busy, trying to get enough pictures of us for our wedding video.  also, we need a good picture to put on our wedding invitation.

Yesterday was my birthday.  Roger was so good to me on my birthday.  I feel bad, because I had a bad attitude.  The problem was, that he woke me up.  He woke me up to give me breakfast in bed, which was super nice.  I'm just not  morning person and I was a little fussy with him.  He made me pancakes and he had real maple syrup to go with it.  I've never had real maple syrup and I'm a picky eater.  I was excited about trying something new.  The gift he gave me was awesome though.  He bought us tickets to go to an Allison Kraus concert.  I was really excited about that.  Roger went out of his way to make my birthday special and for some reason, I couldn't shake the fussiness I was feeling.  I was thankful and happy about all he did for me, but I didn't show it very well.  I feel bad.  I apologized to him and did my best to make it all better and let him know how much I love everything he did.  I don't know why I was so fussy.

Jenny Springman's Birthday! - October 16, 2001

Tuesday - October 16, 2001
These are pictures from my friend, Jenny Springman's Birthday party.  I made a sunshine cake for her.  We celebrated her birthday at Regan's house.  After having cake and ice cream, we all sat outside on the trampoline and played our favorite game, called 'What If?'  Hoe you play is, you cut a bunch of strips of paper.  You pass a paper and pencil to everyone and have them write a what if question.  Then they fold their paper and put it in a pile in the middle of the circle that everyone is sitting in or in a container.  When everybody has put their papers in, everybody gets to reach in and grab a question, and write an answer for it.  Then they fold it again and throw it back in the pile.  When everybody is done, we each grab a paper from the middle and take turns reading the question and answer out loud to everybody.  I love this game soooo... much!  It ends up being so funny, because we always ask the most ridiculous questions about each other.

Hangin' With The Family - October 7, 2001

October 7, 2001

Hanging out in St. George with my family.

Hannah showed off her bike riding skills. She taught herself how to ride a bike with no training wheels. Impressive!

Roger and I being dorks.  We're good at that.

 Shelley doesn't like it when I take her picture, so she always hides or covers her face. It's sad, but that's why it's fun to try and get a picture of her.  The other pictures are of Elizabeth, Kristin, and Missy.  Missy got some really cute toe socks that I was really jealous of.

 Going for a little walk about with shelley, Hannah, Ben, and Alex.

 Ben is such a cute little baby.

Taking Pictures For Wedding Announcement - October 6, 2001

Saturday - October 6th

 We went to St. George to visit my family again.  I love to be with my family as much as possible.  We spent the day in Brian Head. My dad got a new 4-wheeler.  My sister Missy was especially excited to try it out.

We rode the 4-wheeler and took a lot of pictures, hoping to get a good one to use on our wedding invitation.

Here's my sister, Missy.  I love hanging out with my sister Missy.  We always have so much fun together.

This is my niece, Kristin and my nephew, Alex.

 Roger and I goofing off.

 Here we are at the start of our 4-wheeler ride.  Uncle Orsin said that he had a good place for us to take pictures for our wedding invites.

This is the beautiful place that he suggested we take our pictures.  We ended up using one of the pictures taken here.  The picture below is one that didn't work out, because I was making a weird face.  I need to do some more digging to find a copy of the picture that we actually used.

My Wedding Dress - October 5, 2001

Friday - October 5, 2001

I got my wedding dress!  I could hardly wait to show it off!

The Dress I want - October 1, 2001

Monday - October 1st

My friend, Marque, took my to a store in Bountiful.  She knew the lady that owned the shop, so she was thinking that she could help me get a good deal.  Jenny and Regan came also.  I had so much fun.  I loved trying on dresses.  It was so fun to be the center of attention.  I loved that every time I walked out of the dressing room, they all ooohhed and awwwed.  I had never experienced anything like that before.  I loved it!  I tried on a ton of dresses, but nothing was as cute as the first dress that I tried on.  They didn't have the dress in my size.  I went dress shopping at a few other stores.  They weren't as fun, because I went by myself.  It's so much better when other people come and tell you how pretty you are.  At a dress shop in Provo, I told the owner about the dress from the other shop that I loved so much.  He told me that all he needed was a number off of the tag and he would be able to get me that same dress for a lower price.  I went to the bountiful store, found the dress, and asked the lady if I could take some pictures of it, so I could show my family.  I took a close up picture of the tag, so I could show the Provo shop.  The Provo shop was so helpful.  They sold me the dress for less money and said they'd have it in the shop in no time at all.
