Don't Look Ty!
Tyler does not want to see my wedding dress until our wedding day and I totally agree. However, I know a lot of you want to see it and are curious what it looks like and all that good stuff. I would love to show all of you, because I love my dress! :) I do not want him to see it, so I am hoping he does not look at this blog. Maybe I will ask him before I post them and see what he says.......
He wouldn't be able to look at the blog anymore.... so I guess everyone has to wait. Sorry. haha

Back in Utah
We were at Amber and Stephen's house with them and the girls until about 2:30pm on Saturday. We hung out, played and enjoyed out time with them. Those girls are full of energy. We left to head to Lehi for our engagement pictures (yes, more of them). We met with Nichole my cousin's wife and we were in this cute area with railroad tracks, a bridge, tall grass, short grass, a wood fence and a good "nature" scene. We took a few shots in some different poses and it started to sprinkle. We figured it would stop or just keep sprinkling, so we were not too worried. We changed into a different outfit, did one pose and then it started to pour on us. It was buckets of rain!
We jumped into Tyler's car and Nichole got into hers and we waited for it to calm down. It never did. We decided to try a different spot. When we got there, it was not raining hard, but when we were about to get out of our car, it once again started to pour. We went to my grandparents house, because that was where we were going to sleep. we played games with my cousins and family.
My family LOVES Tyler. It is so great! My grandma pulled me aside just to tell me that she really liked him and was glad he was joining the family :)
Sunday we went to church with my grandparents and then we went back to the second spot we attempted to take engagement pictures. We met Nichole there and it was perfect weather. We took the pictures we needed and they turned out great! After the pictures Tyler needed to head back to Rexburg. It was hard to say goodbye again. It is always sad to see him go or to leave.

BYU-Idaho
After the birthday party, on Sunday night Ty and I drove back to Idaho together. He had school on Monday and I was just going to hang out and be with him when he was not busy with classes. Nick and Jen were wonderful and allowed me to stay at their house while I was in Rexburg, along with Kennedy and Ellis.
Monday was a busy day for Jen, there were a ton of people coming to get contracts for the apartments they manage. I watched and played with the kids on and off that day. That night, Nick and Jen went to dinner and wanted to just have time to do stuff without the kids, so Tyler and I watched them that night. We had a good night. We got pizza, watched a movie and all was good. I went to bed that night and something was not feeling right. I ignored it and thought I would be fine in the morning.
WRONG! Now, it was Tuesday. I felt terrible. I kept waking up all throughout the night. I was having stomach spasms and it was the worst. I had gotten them before a few years ago, but had not had them since. It was weird and I had no idea what had caused them. Tuesday was a lazy day because I felt so crappy, so I hoped Wednesday would be better.
Wednesday I was starting to feel better,but it was not fully better yet. I was trying to force myself to feel better, but it was not exactly working. I was still not feeling too good, but I wanted to make the best of it. Tyler and I needed to register at Wal-Mart, so we went to Idaho Falls and did that and then went out to dinner. I did not eat much, but it was fine, I was just glad I was feeling better.
Thursday I was feeling back to normal. I hung out with Tyler and It was a good day. Chelsea also took engagement pictures of us. She wanted to have more pictures for her portfolio and I was happy to have her take pictures of us. We are SOOO cute, so who wouldn't want to take out picture right? haha. Just kidding.
Friday was the day of my bridal shower. I went on campus at 1pm to do a group meeting with Chelsea, Jena and Erica and then we went out to lunch to a Tai place. It was soooo yummy! I was glad I went. I was hesitant at first, because last time I got sick from it. After lunch, I went back to hang with Tyler... I missed him and the girls went and played more. I was sad to miss out on their fun, but Tyler comes first in my life now and I wanted to spend the time with him. I had my bridal shower that night, so he dropped me off at it and picked me up after. It was a good shower and my friends who could come were great. I was glad to see them and spend the time with them.
After the shower I packed up all my stuff and put it into Ty's car. We headed to Amber's house to stay the night. We got to the Grigg house around 11:30pm or so

Birthday Party
Tyler and I went to Utah for his grandparents birthday party 2 weekends ago. I drove up with Emily, as seen in the previous post and then he met me on Friday. We drove to the party together and stayed with his family over the weekend. We went to church on Sunday with one of his mission friends. I am glad that I have been able to meet some of his mission friends as time as gone on. He really enjoys to be around them and talk with them, and I love to see him so happy, remembering his mission :)
Sorry, no pictures. Ty and I have been really bad about not taking any pictures. We said we were going to be better, so I could update the blog, and not feel LAME and have no pictures.... but that did not happen. We are both to blame. Sorry everyone. I think Sandy, Emily and Amber may have taken some pictures.... I will have to find out....

Very Long Day
HAPPY-ISH:On Wednesday morning Emily, Ethan, Amie, Aubree and I all loaded into Emily's car. It was 4am. We wanted to get an early start so we could be in Utah before dark. Once the kids were in the car, they slept for a while, which was nice. then they woke up and Aubree was hungry and so were all of us, we grabbed breakfast and then were on the road again. We stopped a few other times. The pictures of Ethan and Amie were taken about an hour and a half before we got here. About 5 minutes after it was taken, there were meltdowns. We were all tired of being in the car, tired in general and just wanted OUT. We went to dinner with Amber and her family and Sandy. It was good to see all of them.
DOWNER-ISH:
It was a good night, but I had to stay up until 12am to sign up for classes. So I was up from 4am until 2am. I did not get all the classes I needed and I was not happy about it. I am still not sure what I will do, but Tyler helped a lot and made me feel much better. He is very good about taking care of me. Then I went to bed and got up again at 7am, because there were kids awake. Needless to say.... I am VERY tired.

Ty's House
Today my Dad and I drove to Sea-Tac airport to meet with Emily Hall (Tyler's Sister). Her and I are driving to Utah tomorrow starting at 4am or so in the morning. She dropped her mom off at the airport because she is flying to Utah and will meet us there. We are going for a birthday party.
Anyway.... On the car ride to Ellensburg from Seattle is was me, Emily, Amie and Aubree. It was not too bad. Aubree was a little fussy, but then her and Amie both fell asleep and it was quiet and Emily and I could just talk and hang out. It was fun.
We got to Ellensburg and went to her place to get some things and then came back to Tyler's house to stay the night. It is so weird to be at his house without him. I keep wanting to go find him or call his name, but then I remember he is not here. I won't get to see him until Friday. I wish I could see him now. I miss him very much.
I told Tyler that I stole someone from his room today and that I was cuddling with him. Can you guess who it was??
BEARRY!!!
Bearry and I were cuddling because he misses Tyler and so do I. He and I are the ones in the picture :)

Windy Day
Unfortunately I don't have any pictures today, but I am hoping to get lots in the month of June. Today has been a windy, but also a warm day. My Dad was very excited because his windmill was going nuts. Yesterday and today have both been good windmill days :)
Nothing too exciting happened today, but I feel like should use the blog as my journal type thing, because I have not been writing at all in my actual journal. I love Tyler more and more EVERY day :) It is so wonderful to know that in 84 days I will be married to him. He is going to be an amazing husband!

Memorial Weekend (short version)
So I said I would update the blog about the activities over Memorial Weekend, but that never happened.... However, I will give a short update now...
The weekend was great with Tyler and his family.
FRIDAY:
We both got there on Friday night. I got there at about 11:30pm. I left my house at 7pm and then hit very bad traffic. Tyler beat me to his house. I think he got there around 10 or 10:30pm. He did not hit any traffic. Lucky him. When I got there I said hello to his parents, him and I looked at some of his baby pictures, then headed to bed (seperately of course). Before we knew it.... it was Saturday.
SATURDAY:
What did we do... I am trying to remember. Emily, Nathan, Ethan, Amie and Aubree all came over to his house and of course we were there and his Mom. I think his Dad was on call that weekend. We had a good day. We looked at more pictures, went riding around on the gator and played outside with the kids. It was a good day. Amie and I had a bonding moment. She was afraid to cross a bridge when we were outside hunting around and Tyler had already gone and helped Ethan across (He was coming back for her, but made sure Ethan was ok first) so Amie and I were hanging out on the gator waiting for him to come back, then we all went across. Also, Amie wanted to sit on my lap when we went on the gator (so sweet). I am glad her and I are bonded now. I love her and I can't wait for her to be my neice (Aubree and Ethan too- my nephew). I forgot to mention something VERY IMPORTANT..... Ty and I went to Olympia for dinner and it was my grandparents (my mom's parents), my parents, my brother and us. My grandparents are heading to germany and won't be back until the wedding, so they really wanted to meet him before they left. It meant a lot to them that we drove from Ellensburg to go to dinner with them. They said that I seemed very happy, and that means a lot coming from my grandpa. He is very protective of me. He knows I am happy and likes Tyler. I am glad things went well. :) Ty and I watched a movie before we went to bed, then once again, we were very tired and went to bed.

I cried. . . Don't make fun. It kills me everytime I seperate from him.
