Passport...

So I went to the post office yesterday and applied for my passport. I got there and realized I did not have my drivers license (my mom was driving)... So they sent me away and we drove back home. We go back to the post office and I hand her my passport pictures. She looks at them and says, "these won't work. you cannot have anything on your head." So, back to Costco we run so I can have them taken again. I had to go to work yesterday at 5:30 so i was a bit worn out by this point.

So, passport is now taken care of. Then I went to Phagans (my sister is in beauty school and this is the name, yes awful name). My sister gave me a facial which felt wonderful, I feel asleep on the table. Then she trimmed my hair and wanted to practice what she would do for the wedding. not only the wedding but also the rehearsal dinner. So I sat in Phagan's for four hours.

I felt so bad because my hair did not turn out very well and I was absolutely exhausted. I only got a few hours of sleep so last night I went to bed really early. Erik goes to Robby's house every night, so he tucked me in at 9:30.

My mom said I need to not work as much (even though I am only working 25 hours/week). She thinks I am going to have a melt down. Once I get some sleep, I will be splendid.

We are now wrapping the silverware. My mom embossed every napkin and folded them really nicely and tied a ribbon around the whole thing. Now we have to put the silverware in. The things she comes up with are incredible. She is an amazing woman.

Thank you Shauna for all your advice and help! : )

31 days!! : ) : )

Well, we are off to dinner at Erik's house! Have a great night

Passport Frenzy

Erik and I went to apply for our marriage license yesterday. That was an interesting process. It only took like ten minutes and we are among many other young couples doing the same thing. When we went to pay the $55 we were talking about changing my last name. I got a passport when I was 16 to go on the many mission trips to Mexico. The lady was telling me to just wait and renew my passport and change my name instead of buying a whole new one. She asked me what my expiration date on my passport was so I pulled it out (thinking you might need another source of ID to get married, but just need your license) and it said FEBRUARY 17, 2007. In the middle of the county offices, I started crying. I cried hard enough to make Erik finish the talking. She was so sweet but told me I probably would have to drive to Seattle to get one because the normal time is 10-12 weeks. We are leaving in 4 1/2...

Erik said he is happy to smuggle me into the country if that makes it possible for him to attend his honeymoon. : ) So after work today, I will check on expediting it (possibly TWO weeks).

Let's pray that works...

At least this is the only malfunction thus far!!!!

Camping over Memorial Day Weekend

How do I post a bunch of pictures? This is confusing...

Blogging

Well, I feel really comfortable reading other's blogs, mainly Katie's and Tarah's, but it is kinda weird to think that people will be reading this. I am not really sure what to say!! I love love love reading others but I just do not know what to say! The biggest thing that is going on in my life at this point is that I get to go back to Bend tomorrow. All my family and friends are in Bend or went home for the summer from college...

Also, I am getting married in 36 days, turning 21 in three weeks... So many great things are happening in my life, I could not leave Jesus out of my amazing time of life right now, PRAISE HIM!

Well I think I shall try to post some pictures of Erik and I...

Have a GREAT night : )
