Family Time, Wedding Planning etc!

I cannot believe a month has passed and we haven't blogged! Time flies because it feels like we just did!

In just 34 days we will be walking down the isle to say I will. We can't wait! Plus, I'm a little extra excited to finally have some bling!! ;) My ring is gorgeous! We've done some stuff wedding-wise lately such as, completing the favors (Thank you for your help Christie and Janae), bachelorette officially on July 31st, yes 2 weeks away! OMG! :) Nicole has gone to her first alterations appt and I have done my hair and makeup trial which was AH-Mazing thanks to Lea Buehler! We've received a couple gifts off our registry, so fun and we're so thankful!! We've had a cake trial thanks to Tracy Murphy and it was FABULOUS! Met with our officiant to review our ceremony, 

Last weekend we had a lot of fun. On Saturday it was Nicole's dad's birthday! We all went to the River Cats game where they got swept, but it sure was fun & hot! Oh and the beer was good too! :) Then we woke up bright and early Sunday and drove to Clovis to visit the Marina family! That was a blast and boy is baby Ethan a DOLL! He loved us, but not nearly as much as we loved him!! ;) He is such a good baby, they're truly blessed. Their home was extremely inviting and so beautiful of course. We enjoyed each others company til Monday evening when we returned home. Can't wait to see them again!

Yesterday Nicole flew to SoCal for her god-sisters wedding which she said was just beautiful! I'm bummed I couldn't make it, but I have to work and save up all my vacation time for our wedding\honeymoon! It was so weird not sleeping next to her even for one night, but Duncan kept me company and made me feel so loved and protected which helped. Plus, I found 3 lovely little surprises throughout the night and this morning! A beautiful card under my pillow, the mascara left for me and another note in our daily journal! It's kinda crazy, just one night away and it made me miss her so much! It was nice to really have that feeling again though and probably good for us! haha I'm looking forward to her coming home this evening and I'm sure she is too!

This week was a huge workweek for me. I took a HDI Support Center Team Lead course for 2.5 days followed by the exam which I passed along with my colleague! What a huge accomplishment, I'm really proud of myself! Then yesterday I had an interview for the Help Desk Associate III (Senior) position. I think it went really well, I know I did my best so we shall see. If I don't get the first position, there will only be a couple week delay before I get the 2nd opening! I'm ready for a true leadership title and I'm hoping it comes soon! I just want to keep on climbin'! :)

All in all, life is good, wedding planning is a lot of work, but will be worth it! Can't wait to see all the hard work everyone has put into it already paid off!

Okay, off my break now, better jet! Just in case anyone needs the link again to RSVP or get details for the wedding, here it is!
