I'm expecting in January...Who knew?

For about a week now, Tyler and I have been SEARCHING for the perfect dress for me to wear to the Temple (and to the luncheon)...What IS the perfect dress you ask?
Well... it had to meet many qualifications the main ones being:

-A zipper or buttons...For easy take off. NOT for bad reasons people, but so that my hair wouldn't get messed up when changing in and out of my dress.
-Sleeves (obvious reasons)
-Down to the knee (again, obvious)
-At least a little bit cute.

Who knew finding a dress like that could be so hard? We seriously searched for so long the other day. I was so frustrated, so I gave myself a little break before dragging Tyler out for another long day of dress shopping.

We went to so many stores, but none seemed to have what I was looking for. Tyler, trying to help out, suggested we go to Lane Bryant to find a dress...Not a good call. Apparently he thought it was just a normal ol' clothes store. Hah.

After four hours of searching the mall, Tyler suggested (again...I ignored him the first time) that we go into Motherhood and look at the dresses that they had there. I decided it wouldn't hurt to look. So, we walked in and I immediately found a brown dress that I absolutely LOVE. So, I went to the dressing room to try it on. It fit perfectly! It has an empire waist, so you can't even tell it's maternity at all. I will admit I tried on the belly in the dressing room, though!

Here are some pictures of the dress... Try to imagine it without the belly and those boobs.:







ANYWAY, since I was sooo sick of being at the mall, I handed Tyler my debit card and the perfect dress (which doesn't have a zipper OR buttons, may I add) and asked him to go pay for it for me (it was only $14.99...woo woo.) in fear that if I paid on my own, the lady would ask me when I was due and make me feel fatter than I already did.

So, Tyler slowly walked up to the counter and began the transaction. The conversation went (pretty much) like this:

Her: So have you been here before?
Him: No...
Her: How pregnant is your wife?
Him: Oh, about 2 months.
Her: OH how exciting! When's the due date?
Him: Uh..I don't remember...
Her: About the end of January, huh?
Him: Yeah! That sounds about right.
Her: Where is your wife?
Him: She's around here somewhere.
Her: Oh okay! What's your address?
Him: (he gave my home address where my parents live)
Her: Wow, no apartment number... You live in a house?
Him: Yeah...
Her: Well we're going to send you a free sample of Huggies and baby formula to congratulate you!
Him: Okay... Thanks...

She then threw in a little packet of baby stuff, including a spoon with the words "YoBaby" on it... Hm.

I laughed so hard.
Poor Tyler goes through so much to get me what I want.
He really is my favorite boyfriend.




ANYWAY!
5 days until THE day.
Wow.
I'll try to keep you updated in the next few days!


P.S. Please tell me you all know I'm NOT REALLY PREGNANT? (Although, I know looks can be deceiving sometimes) That wouldn't be the best rumor to go around right now. hahah.

Pllllease Help Me!

I was looking through my bridals again, and I realized that I didn't feel like myself in it. So, I began a huuuge search looking for a new style. Nothing really jumped out at me until I saw this beauty.

The problem? It's a video. Tyler (being the wonderful fiance he is), took a lot of screen shots of it for me, but I still feel like I need a more clear picture. You can see it best if you fast forward to 1:04 and 3:05. There are a few good views in between that, but...You know.

If you can find me a reeeally clear picture of a hairstyle like that, I would love you forever (I probably already love you if you have the link to this blog, but I'd love you even more... If you can imagine it!).

(a little less than) Two Weeks!

Yesterday I went through the Temple for my first time. It was an amazing experience and I am so happy that I have made the decision to marry Tyler there. I can't wait to spend eternity with him. He is the most amazing person I have ever met in my life. I can't wait to become Mrs. Senneff.


Yesterday was also my Grandma's birthday. She was one of the most caring people that I've ever known. I have so many great memories of her, and still miss her terribly everytime I think about her.
When I was about 10 years old, I decided to change my middle name to hers. I couldn't think of anyone who I would rather be named after. She was (and still is) such a great example in my life. Many times I find myself wondering if the decisions I am making would make my Grandma proud... If the answer is yes, I know that I am making the right decision.
I wish I could put all of my feeling about her into words, but I can't. The truth is, she was too amazing for words. She made such a huge impact on me, and I strive everyday to become more like she was.

24 Days!!

Uh oh, I missed my 26 day mark. So much for writing every ten days, huh? Oh well, I've decided that I need to start writing more often and be more of an "avid blogger" as I like to call it.
I wish that there were more to blog about, though.
My life is pretty uneventful these days. Tyler and I are just sort of sitting around until the wedding. Okay, I take that back... I'M sitting around until the wedding. Tyler is out making me the big bucks.
Who knew job hunting could be so rough? I've applied to so many places, and each tells me the same thing... "August is our busiest month. We would need you here on August first"...Ugh.
Hopefully once everything is all settled down after the wedding, I'll be able to get a job. Cross your fingers.

Last week I had my bridals taken. My mom, Melissa, and I drove to Sugarhouse to get them done by the amazing Gen Wayment (seriously, she's amazing...She also did my engagements). Gen did a great job. The ones that I have seen so far look great! You can see a few of them at http://genwayment.blogspot.com/. For those of you who aren't sure if you want to go so far away, here is one to hold you over.

Sorry it doesn't show much of the dress, but we all know Tyler would have a fit if I showed the real deal on here. :)


It is so weird for me to finally see that everything is falling into place. Everything is getting done so nicely (thanks to my mom), and I am so excited to see everything all put together. This past week, Tyler's mom sent me some pictures of him when he was little. There were a few gems in there, but my ultimate favorite would have to be the one where he is in his wrestling outfit. Oh, what a cute boy. You will have to keep your eyes out for it in our wedding video, you won't be disappointed, I promise!

24 days 24 days 24 dayyys.
