A day to remember!

   I went through the temple this past Thursday for the first time. It was such a special experience that I will never forget and one that I will hold so dear to my heart. I was able to share this experience with some very important people. My parents, Caitlin, my future in-laws, my Travis and Travis' grandpa were able to attend the session with me and I am so grateful that they were all there. I absolutely loved everything about that day and feel so wonderful and ready for what's about to take place in just 6 short days!!!

I think it's pretty obvious that Travis and I are in love and more than ready to take this next step together, but on this day we truly reached a whole new level of happiness together! The week before I went through, Travis and I were kind of talking about it and he realized that he first took out his endowments on June 21st 2008. I took mine out the same day just 4 years later- - complete coincidence! I thought that was kinda cool :)

As I type this.. my fiance is on his way to Montana with his friends for a 'bachelor' party. It's 1:00 in the morning.... and I'm up waiting to see if they all got their safely!! So, I thought it was a good opportunity to blog little about my experience :)

I loved having my sister come with me!!! She helped with so much and I loved having her support. 

I LOVE the temple and can't wait to go back SOON!!!

6 DAYS!!!!!

Countdown to eternity!!

   I feel like I haven't blogged in a while! I'm usually pretty good at posting a weekly update, but I've been so caught up in prepping for the wedding and what not. By the way, I marry my best friend in 12 days!! Can you believe it? It is SO close, but at the same time... so far away. We've been waiting a long time for this and we are both so ready. I feel so great! I'm calm, happy and just so ready for the day to come.

I spent this past weekend in Lethbridge! Travis and I always have a good time, but this weekend was extra great. I feel a lot more relaxed and not as stressed about the wedding. We are both so focussed on what really matters, which is the temple! Travis is just a goof! He loves to play and have fun (which is one of the many things I love about him). With me not being as stressed, I was able to goof around more with him and we just had so much fun with each other this weekend. I cannot wait to spend everyday with this boy!! 

The weather in Lethbridge was fabulous on Friday night!! We enjoyed a little picnic in the coulee's with Trav's parents. We aren't married yet, but his family sure makes me feel like a Seaborn. I just feel right at home! I love it. 

I can't remember if I've blogged since my birthday, but I was able to spend it with this Mr. Handsome!! I couldn't have asked for anything better. I had a lovely 21st birthday. The only thing I would have changed would be that I got my wisdom teeth taken out 2 days before...

To be honest though... the whole experience of getting my teeth yanked wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. In fact, I wasn't really bothered by it at all. My jaw was a little tight and I felt a little sore in the evenings. Other than that... it was a breeze!! I LOVE soup, so I wasn't really bothered not eating solids for a while. 

Trav's house is coming along wonderfully! I love being able to go out with him and see the progress it makes each week! It's an exciting thing. Travis is an extremely hard worker and I love being able to see all that he is doing! So proud of him. 

Little miss Hazel Dee was blessed this weekend! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to go! Which made me SO sad. But, it was Father's Day and I owed it to my dad to spend it with him. I'm so happy to be able to add one more little girl to my nieces and nephews!!! I now have 8 nieces and nephews!!! Isn't that fun?! I love them all and they are just SO cute!!!! 

I thought I would save one of the most important things for last. FATHERS DAY!!! I love my Dad, so much! He has been there for me and supported me through everything in my life. He is my biggest fan and I'm so grateful for the influence he has had in my life. I appreciate all that my Dad has worked for and the man that he is! I'm grateful that he has always emphasized the importance of the Gospel and encouraged us to live it. I wouldn't have the blessings I have today without him. Love you dad!!

12 DAYS!!!!!!!
