My friend Brittany Bacon helped us design our announcements. Dan and I had a particular design in mind and decided to design them ourselves. Brittany helped us put everything together and we made the final edits before it went to the printers. They turned out great and we love how original they are!
Almost everything is done to get ready for the reception. We spent most of this morning over at Diane's house (she offered for us to have our reception on her beautiful backyard) setting up chairs, cleaning off tables, and power-washing everything in sight. The place is going to look great! We will finish the last decorations on Monday and last minute touches on Tuesday. My mom's friends have been a big help in setting up, cleaning, and decorating. Good thing too since my mom has been going nonstop like a crazy woman helping me get everything done! She's had less meltdowns now that Lisa is in town and Dan and I don't need to drive up and back from Logan two to three times a week.
Last night I went through the temple for the first time to receive my endowments. Thanks to all the family who came and supported me. It was a very special experience and I was glad to have family there. Now that it's past, Dan and I can focus on Tuesday when we will be sealed together in the Bountiful Temple! I love him so much and I'm very excited to spend my life with him!
