First Shoppers



Mike and I had a fun weekend. In the morning I cleaned up around the house and then went and met the boys at the Elders quorum activity. I didn't get the memo that there weren't any girls there but thankfully I got there late and it was only Mike Erick and I in the swimming pool. After the swimming party, Walt and Mike moved out all of my appliances from my apartment. It felt great... FREEDOM. I'm so excited to be out of that apartment and into my new home. After we got things all put away we decided to go to Sams Club. We got there pretty late and got kicked out so then we went to staters. It was really interesting to go shopping with Mike since I'm so used to going to the store and only getting stuff I like. We booth compromise well though. I realized it's a little pricy starting off from scratch but slowly but surely our pantry and cabinets are filling up. Our little home is feeling more and more like a Stewart home now;)

House Warming





I'm so excited about our new house. With some work and help from my amazing inlaws it is now a home. Mike and I started painting it the weekend after we got our keys but then we decided that the color was too peachy and I found some old paint from the past owners and it was semi gloss so we had to go back and prime the walls. So i took another trip to Lowes, got another color, and Marcia came over and took care of buisness. She primed and painted our living room in no time. Things are working out just in time for our wedding. I can't believe it's only 3.5 more weeks until our wedding and i have to live with a boy... Ahhhh! I guess i'll get used to it eventually. I have had a great time decorating our house and my wonderful husband-to-be has let me do whatever I want to it. Hopefully when things settle down a bit I can start on my little garden. I really want some veggies but we'll see if I can get something to grow. We still have two more rooms to paint, I decided the office and our room can stay the same color. Our house was renovated about a year ago so everything is in great shape. There's a nice patio in the back to have barbecues in. I can't wait. Michael makes me so happy!I'll post some before and afters of our living room. I still haven't painted the other rooms and my master room is still getting fixed so there'll be some later pictures.

Wedding Madness





One more month until our wedding! I have been trying to start this blog but for one reason or another (the internet freezing, the website logging me off, being lazy) I haven't done it. But maybe one day i'll be good. Well the past months have gone by waaay fast. All the driving, partying, and shopping have been fabulous. At one point it was hard juggling work, school, wedding and new house but now we're only down to the wedding and ofcourse making my house look pretty. Thanks every one for all the help, I'm glad you guys have kept me from running around like a chicken with its head cut off. Well now that we have a house it's been fun putting all those great gifts away that we got, it's like Christmas times five. I'm so glad that Mike was prepared and we were able to buy a house, a very pretty one. I'll put up pictures of our house projects later on but above are a few pics from some of the bridals, enjoy
