Good Morning

So my body has no idea what time zone it is in and because I slept pretty much the entire way home thanks to Parkers shoulder I have been up for a while now.  Well its either that or the fact that I am getting married in a couple days and can't seem to calm the butterflys.  But I figured if I am not going to be sleeping I might as well share a little bit about our last big adventure before the biggest adventure we will ever take.  So here is a little bit of Spain:

spending a couple days in barcelona was the best. parker knew way more spanish than i ever knew he did and basically got us around the whole city which was awesome 

this is sagrada de la familia from below 

and this is sagrada after the climb 

( the first day we were by ourselves but the second day we got to meet up with my sister jill and her husband kyle. they are pretty much the bomb and we had a blast with them. i think we walked 10 miles that day) 

this is parkers very first magnum bar. yes i made him wait till we were in europe because its cooler that way. 

first venture into the mediterranean. 

look how stinkin cute my sister and her husband are. 

 And now from some Pisa. No no dad not pizza, Pisa, but actually we ate lot of pizza. Italy:

(notice how there is no one there, thank you sarah for suggesting we go so terribly early)

Florence 

we climbed the bell tower with shannon and dave. i love my sisters kids but it was so fun to hang out with just them and their husbands because we don't get to do that a lot. 

my dad came to, this is at the top.

And this is Rome

sisters sarah and jill 

Here's the Day on the Coast 

don't judge who wouldn't want a kissing picture right there 

this is my mom and me at pompei

what a week and what a week to come... :)  

( i'm knew to the blogging world. can you put too many pictures on one post? if so i'm sure i hit the limit on this one) 

Hello Summer.

20 days....... 
Did you think we would ever get this close? Things have been go go go around here. My mom has turned the office in my house into Wedding HQ. Just finishing up the last and final things before we leave for Barcelona this Thursday. Hello dream vacation.
Who didn't love that awesome sunshine Utah gathered up on Friday? Thank you summer! We took full advantage of it, here are the highlights-

( took a little hike up to the infamous sliding rock)

Played some catch 

Got some Snoasis

(snow cones on top of ice cream... genius) 

Went off road a little 

(a little mud on the jeeps tires never hurt) 

Roasted S'MORES 

(then roasted some more, and some more) 

(hung out here for awhile because who wouldn't want to stop and look at that) 

The next day my brothers and Parker headed out to the middle of no where to eat burgers and race go-carts  for Parkers Bachelor party. Then Parker continued being the greatest uncle to be in the universe and sat through two hours of Alice in Wonderland, the ballet, because two of my nieces were in it. 

Afterwards we met another Alice who also loves to dance. I can tell we are going to be great friends -

its time to say  "finally" to summer "see ya later" to home "hello" to new places and "so close" to forever 

Bachelorette Party

MY  BACHELORETTE PARTY!! 

(my mom, my sisters lisa, sarah, shannon, jill, me, jamison, my soon to be mom-in-law)

The party was meant to embarrass me out of my mind but really it was just an awesome night with people I love and really good food. 

We went to the Melting Pot for dinner, and had some really great food- best of all desert-, and we played drinking games with our Cokes and flavored Lemonade! Talk about one awesome party! 

Then we came back to my moms house and played games and hung out in comfy clothes and I opened presents. It was such a fun relaxed fun night. It was perfect! 

Thank you so so much to my sweet sisters for putting this together and just always being the greatest, to Jamison for being part of the family, my mom for being my best friend and my soon to be mom-in-law who came all the way from Nevada for the party ( and documenting it with pictures) 

P.S.  FINALS ARE OVER AND DONE WITH, thank goodness. And despite a fire drill at 4 in the morning the night before Parker and I both had two finals in the morning things went great. Then we packed up everything and brought it to Alpine. Where we now have to sort and pack it all back up, (excluding of course everything we will need for Europe, the Wedding, and Hawaii) and take it all back up to Logan in a week and a half ( of course our move in date is the day before we leave). We have never felt so blessed or so busy!!! 

The count down is on we have 26 days till the wedding and a lot to do before then. Thank goodness my mom is a professional wedding planner by now! There really are some perks to being the 5th of 5 daughters.
