the best day of my life!
my cute little sister the stinky cheese
all the justice girls say HOLLA!!
here are some of my favorite wedding photos!! it was a WONDERFUL day! perfect weather and the best family in the entire world!!
and of course the worlds cutest husband!
my goodness!! i could be the only crazy person out there but engagement pictures have by far been THE most stressful part of the engagment! EVERYONE is going to see these pictures so they have to be good right? and clair is wonderful don't get me wrong but the whole i think your pretty all the time just stressed me out even MORE!! so when you all receive your invitations to be suprised if i look really uncomfortable and awkward while clair looks golden! you really would think it would be the other way around since he HATEs taking pictures but he was a star. so my question to all is did anyone else want to die over the invites!!?!?
a little late but still filled with love, a shout out to the tallest brother in law in the world (to my knowledge) HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY TAYLOR!! YOU ARE SO COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i want you to know this is the first EVER birthday shout out i've given on my blog. i hope you feel the love!
hello all!! great news the wedding is planned! cake, dress, place, time, photographer the works. its FINISHED!! YES!! i know i'm amazing. it took me four weeks to plan it all..except i hardly did ANYTHING!! a very special thanks to my mom, sisters, cousins (hailey, amy, janna, shannon especially for all the input and helpful tips and such) and of course my best friend natalie who did the most painful of all and went with me to try on dresses, look at the reception center, decide on hair, bridesmaid dresses and colors. the dress was probably the worse of all..she had to shove me into rooms and put dresses on me..convince me i didn't look like an idiot in them and last but not least saw me in my underwear about a million times that day..who knew dresses were so hard to get on all by yourself. ANYWAY.. to more important news.. my sudden obsession with zebra..it isn't super sudden actually, about 3 months ago i bought some super hot zebra heals but now i'm comin out in public! (hence the blog make over) hooray! i don't know what it is but today i asked clair if we could have some room in our house zebra and he said YES!! ha ha ha this is why i love him!! well all count down the days but only 94 until i get married!!
hello hello!!! the worst part is FINALLY OVER!! yaya! through some tears and frustration i finally found (actually my mom found it) the perfect dress. i look ridiculous in these pictures but it was our last stop and it was a really long day of trying on a million dresses.. anyway i love the lace up back but my most favorite must is the big bow that i WILL have.
first of all happy mothers day to my mom and my sisters and all other moms out there! i hope you all have a WONDERFUL day because you deserve it.
now i have had a million people ask me HOW Clair popped the question. so here's our story!
i went into work on a monday morning and when i got there one of the managers told me i had the day off and clair was here to pick me up and spend the day with me since he'd be leaving. You would think that would be the hint that it was coming but i was convinced it wasn't going to happen before he left so i just really thought we were going to spend the day together. so i got in the car and we started driving up to salt lake to go to the Gateway..an outdoors mall that we really like.. and we stopped in draper to get something to eat. after we got back on the road we got off just 2 exits later.. i tried convincing clair this was the WRONG exit and that i know more about malls than he does but he said he knew a round about way..thats when we pulled up the Shane Co.. the Jewelry store where i had picked out my ring online.
we went in .. still in shock.. and asked if they had the ring...the guy looks it up online and said he wasn't sure..he went back to look and came back out with the ring. now while he was back there clair explained that he'd probably have to get it sized and get the diamond put in it so i wouldn't get it today. kinda sad but still excited none the less. well he came out with the box and opened it and it was BEAUTIFUL.. stunning. he said i could try it on and what do you know..PERFECT fit. so we wrapped it up and took it home. clair let me wear it on the way home but took it away once we got there. he had some errands to run and left me to be just wondering when i'd get it. so he came to pick me up for my FHE dinner then after that we had already planned to go up to the thanksgiving point gardens. he said he wanted it to be a somewhat of a surprise (giving me the ring) so i'd just have to be patient. ha ha if any of you know me i HATE surprises!!! anyways...we went up to the tulip festivle and it was GORGEOUS. i loved it. i had never been but i'd reccomend it to anyone. we walked the gardens, it was perfect weather.. we were looking over a waterfall talking..i went to the otherside.. and when i turned around he was on one knee..i started laughing and hardly waited for him to ask before i made him put it on me.. it was perfect.
