JB:
Hey, we're back! We're sorry we didn't get to write last week, but we haven't really had a lot of time to sit still and do this the last two sundays. But we are doing it now. So, to fill you all in on what has happened. Two weeks ago was actually a pretty slow week. We got to go down to Cardston to see Mark and Tina Woodruff's wedding and it was amazing! It was really cool to be there seeing it and knowing that that would be us in a couple of weeks. As for wedding prep things though it was kindof slow. Then this last week things really started to take off. On thursday I took possesion of the apartment, and in the meantime Aimee was at her bridal shower.

Aimee:
It was so cool to go to the sealing. I had taken my endownments out 4 days earlier! I felt all grown up when they scanned my temple recommend. And the Cardston temple is so beautiful! Our apartment is awesome. It fits two perfectly. My bridal shower was awesome. We had a pampered chef party so JB and I are basically getting a brand new kitchen from all the gifts. Once again, awesome! If anyone who came to the shower is reading this, THANK-YOU!! We really appreciate how amazing you are. I love you all. So today, I packed up my apartment. It is cleaned out completely. Everything is at  our  new apartment. Its amazing, how after packing for 7 hours of packing, when its all unloaded you somehow have energy and will power to start unpacking it all!

JB:
My theory is that it is the excitement of getting to set up our own apartment. We cleaned out my place today too, and so pretty much everything is over at the new place. I can't wait until we get to go through and organize and make it look pretty. It was so nice to get everyone's help with it too. We had my mom and brother's come up, then my roomates helped a little and our new manager even helped us move in. We are so thankful to everyone for all that they have been doing for us. We keep hearing about the different things that are going on in the wedding prep and all the awesome things that are happening. One of the biggest thank-you's that we wanted to send out is to Sharon Barnes, our photographer. This friday we went and took first look pictures. Sharon had so many good ideas and we managed to do so much. Then we wanted to have a few of the pictures ready for the wedding slide show, so she quickly did up a few and gave us a CD. The photos are incredible! So beautiful! We couldn't be more happy with them. For those of you coming to the wedding you will see what I mean, and for the rest of you we will post a few of our favorites after the wedding. Seriously though they are so nice and we are so grateful to Sharon for all she is doing. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Aimee:
She is totally amazing! It was so fun. We went and took wedding pictures last friday in our wedding get-up and had a blast. It is amazing to see this wedding fall into place. So many people are helping out and it is really helping with the stress levels of myself, JB and my Mom. Although she is amazing, unfortunalty she can't do it all, so thank-you for everyone's help. Well, I think that is all we have to say. we are planning on posting one more time on friday. Only 4 more days!!!! Its crazy how time flies.

JB:
And just to make sure you don't take this all too seriously, here is your photo for the week.

 

 

 

JB:
Hey everyone, we are back in Canada and one week closer to the wedding! And what a week it was. We had a lot of fun this saturday getting stuff done. But first of all we forgot to say last week that we got an apartment right close to whyte ave and the university. Its actually really close to where I live now, for those of you know where that is. Some of the other stuff that we did this week was to go get the second of Aimee's wedding bands. But we had a really nice surprise when we got there because they had my ring in too! It looks so nice! Here, why don't you guys take a look.

JB:
When we went to look at rings for me the one on display was really old and tarnished apparently because the middle band part was a much darker grey and even had a little more yellow or brown or something in it. It was still pretty nice, but the darker grey just didn't go as well. I much prefer the silvery color of this one.

Aimee:
I am here, if you were wondering ;) I am so glad JB loves his ring. I was worreid for a while but it turned out to be a million times better than we thought. And my rings are awesome!!!! Yes, it is big with both wedding bands, but I like it that way.

JB:
That's Aimee, always going for the big and fancy ;)

Aimee:
Please. There are women out there who own bigger and more expensive rings than me. Mine is simply elegant. That's all and I love it!!!

JB:
I really do love it too. It looks so nice on her!

Aimee:
And they look fabulous together!!!! Which was kind of the point. So enough about rings. We also went and picked up JB's suit from the store this weekend. He put it on for me and JB is a very handsome man, but in his suit I think he looks so HOT!!!!!! I couldn't get over how amazing he looked. I was...

JB:
Talking about it for like the next 30 mins? (I kind of liked that part. Big ego boost)

Aimee:
Well its true, but I am slightly biased! Oh, we also figured out what we are doing for our party favours!! They will be different colors but this is the basic idea. I love them, I think the are so cute.

Aimee:

They are so cute!!! We're putting those mints that look like hershey's kisses but they are pink, yellow, white, green and other fun colors. And the paper will be yellow! So cute! Well I think that is all for this week. Stay tuned for more wedding fun and count down!! 20 DAYS!!!!!



Aimee:
Hello everyone!!! We are in the wonderful land of Idaho at a fabulous family reunion. We have been having a blast this weekend. Well, we had to get up at 4:30 on thursday to get here, but everything after that has been great, except for the 14 hour drive tomorrow, but we'll deal with that when we get there ;)

JB:
Yup, the second family reunion in 2 weekends for me. Though I think I'm actually doing okay with the names this time. Truly it has been a blast. We are out at a big barn that is just made for great vacations. Included is a hot tub, a movie room, ping pong, pool tables, outdoor volleyball, etc.

Aimee:
It's a barn that has been converted into a giant hostel. It holds 30 people, but only has 4 showers. Genious idea. There is a giant kitchen and a giant great room where we had an awesome dance last night. I have some of the best aunts and uncles in the worlde. The Sheen's are known for making fun and fools of themselves, and we do a pretty good job at it.

JB:
They're not really that bad. Its a lot of fun and I am going to love being a part of this family. One of the fun things about being at a family reunion is there really isn't a lot of down time, lots of fun stuff planned instead. But that also means that there isn't a lot of time left for us to write, so we will have to finish up quick.

Aimee:
Well, we're off to play more fun and games. We'll see you in Canada soon!
