Europe Pictures!

Memories of YOU

I've never seen a month fly by as fast as this July has. My goodness! Well the Europe trip was so awesome, we had so much fun together. We were all beyond tired by the end, but it was so worth it! I'll post some pictures from it soon- Luke took over 1,000!

Now it's just a mad dash to the 9th! Scott and I are scrambling to furnish our place- it will be fun to watch it become a little home!
p.s. Shalise, I need your address :)

Speaking of Weddings...as I looked down my list of your blogs, I realized I attended a lot of YOUR wedding receptions! Here is a little memory from each :)

Bri & Brad: Loved the tents and soft lights, the cheesecake, the live music, your gorgeous dress and your HAIR looked so awesome!

Colleen & Aaron: I was so excited for your wedding. Your tall shoes! The rainbow outside, your video, Shania Twain's 'From this Moment' playing, again...gorgeous dress

Emily & Adam: Lot's of color! Tons of flowers, a little rain (but you were so cute w/ your umbrella!) Your dress was adorable- I loved your bridals

Emily & Brad: Ash and I got to play for your reception! Your up-do was so pretty, gorgeous dress, really good ice cream roll thing for your dessert, such a cute video!

Haley & Salesi: Party of the year baby! Great food and lot's of dancing! I remember you switched dresses :) Loved the one you picked!

Jared & Kristen: Three words: Jenna, Heather, Karaoke. Fun lunch and an awesome reception the next week! Kristen's dress was so poofy and awesome.

Jenna & Greg: Tons of buttons on your dress :) Looked like a princess (beautiful crown!!!) Ash and I got to play during the reception on a little stage. It was so fun to catch your bouquet and Scott got the garter!

Kristen & Eric: I loved your china (from europe I think?) Inside at the Victorian (I can't remember what time of year it was).

Lindsay & Nate: Best dressed wedding party ever! Adorable reception, love your video (the butterfly kisses part! So cute)

Lis & Bobby: Can you say gerber daisy?! Adorable centerpieces, gorgeous pics at the Bountiful temple, the bridal with your bouquet in your mouth- priceless.

Lyndee & Drew: Another dance party! There wasn't a line at the reception & you pulled it off so perfect! The pink & orange theme was so cute- loved your dress & shoes! Yummy ice cream!

Marilyn & Jeremy: The first wedding I got to help plan! The awesome video, the tulips, your unique dress , the chocolate fountain, my pink bridesmaid dress! The cakes!

Sarah & Eric: The vegas superstars! I wasn't there... but I do love that you went out and got that wine colored satin dress, and that Elvis stopped by after your ceremony!

Shalise & Jason: I loved your decorations, the food was awesome, and the sash on your dress was so pretty! We totally got lost finding the dinner, but I'm so glad we found it because it was SO fun!

Hi Guys!

Hello friends, remember me? I’m the girl who doesn’t update her blog very well. I’ve got a spare minute, so if you’re interested, here’s a long picture-less update.

The summer is going great so far. It has been such a blast planning for the BIG day. I can see how it could get stressful, but I have a lot of awesome people helping to make it run smooth.

The countdown is on till we go to Europe for two weeks!!! The fam leaves July 3^rd. I can’t wait for Luke to see where he was born, and I’m excited to see Paris again! It’s been 14 years since we were there, I can’t believe it.

So by the time we get home there will just be about three weeks till the wedding, we’re trying to finish up all the planning before we go. It has been a busy couple of weeks. Some highlights include:

-trying out éclairs (yum!)

- finding a place to live (Bountiful here we come!)

-getting the dress altered (being short is expensive!)

- picking out songs for the video (yes it’s going to be cheesy!)

-having 1000’s (no joke) of pictures taken. Scott and I got all decked out on Monday and had pics taken on the temple grounds in Salt Lake. I was so excited to show him my dress, and he looked awesome in his chocolate brown tux. We had quite the entourage with us (His mom and sister and my mom and sister). It was so fun to have them all there! And we love our photographer Frank!!!

Under two months! Yay! Love you all!

Warm weather = happy heather

My brothers are too cute. They both have new digital cameras and have been walking around on Sunday afternoons capturing life as we know it.

Adams reservoir never looked so good! I can't believe this is right behind my house...man I take things for granite. (Ok help me out...is it 'granite' or 'granted'? That is the question of the century for me!)
I think they are pretty awesome little photographers. They took a lot of great pictures of our yard coming back to life.

Here's what Scott and I were doing Sunday afternoon. The weather was perfect outside for an afternoon nap. I was so out!

Here's the Story!

Wow.

This week has definitely changed my life! All of a sudden I have a thousand decisions to make! I LOVE IT!

My 23rd birthday was Wednesday. I was under the impression Scott was in California with his aunt and uncle for work. He called me once Tuesday, and left a quick message Wednesday. I figured he didn't have cell service where he was, so I didn't think anything was fishy about it.

My stake is preparing to do the play Savior of the World, and we had a rehearsal from 6-9pm that night. At the end of the rehearsal the entire cast of over 100 people sang happy birthday to me! It was awesome. My cute singles ward had also got me a cake :) I have such great friends!

As people started to leave, a few friends came in and told me I had to go to their car with them. I was talking to the directors at the moment, and told them I couldn't right then. After about 10 minutes, my neighbor came up and said, "Heather. There is a LIMO outside for you."

:)

My stomach dropped and I started shaking and feeling excited and nervous! I knew it must be Scott. THIS WAS IT! I ran outside and dozens of the cast were lining the sidewalks and they cheered when I came out!

I saw a red carpet leading up to a beautiful limo...and there was Scott down on both knees. He looked incredible! I started crying the moment I saw him! I jumped up and down and ran across the lawn to him. He told me that you never know when life is going to change (he quoted that from a poem I wrote him 4 years ago). He said I had changed his life, and that it was time to change ours.

As he put the gorgeous ring on my finger FIREWORKS went off across the street. These weren't just sparklers...I'm talking beautiful-illegal-80 foot high fireworks. It was perfect.

My family was there and so was his brother's. After lots of hugs, we drove to the Salt Lake Temple in the limo.

We are so happy! We have been working on making a decision about our future since Christmas, and it truly feels like this is exactly what we should be doing at this point in our lives. THANK YOU to everyone for supporting us all these years. Your love means THE WORLD to us.
