Bridals :)

June 30 I met up with Preston Norris and my good friend Tamara to do bridals. I just love them.

This last one Tamara made for me. The words are:
"On this bridge stands a radiant bride,
Representing the beauty of when two worlds collide.
Ravishing in a dress of green and white
Dave's never seen such a beautiful sight!

In the month of July, on the thirteenth day,
Words of adoration and love are what they'll say,
Before their friends and family they will proclaim
And light a life of blissful marriage aflame.

Dave has found a woman to join his team,
And Heather the man starring in her every dream.
As two majestic souls become one,
They'll kick back and have a bit of fun.

That night they will only see each other,
And smile at the thought of Heather becoming a mother.
He'll look deep in her eyes and pull her close,
She'll be so sure of this extraordinary man she chose.

When they've lived a long life and are wrinkly, grey and old,
The story of love to their grandchildren will be told.
"Grammy was once a beautiful young girl",
Heather will say as she sends them a whirl.

But for now she is on a bridge, beathtaking as usual,
Exquisite ink, ravishing eyes, an image so blissful.
So, good luck to you, Ms. Heather Casper,
You will make an amazing Mrs. Heather Biesinger!"

Can I just say I have the best friends in the world? :)

Casper is building herself an apartment

Our little girl is stretching me as far as she can go... I'm getting so big!

Doctor visit went well, no major concerns or weird things. I did learn on the second to last visit that my blood type is B negative. So that means I get to have a wonderful shot in my butt this next visit at the end of July. Not really looking forward to that, but oh well, what can ya do?

She is finally big enough that I can feel her move. Its so weird. Kat asked me what it felt like to be pregnant.. I told her, "You know when you have a big gas bubble and it moves and then you either fart or burp? Its like that only no fart or burp." LMAO....

Casper likes to kick, especially at night. So far, the only food she doesn't like is pickles. I love the smell, but if I eat one I get sick... ugh. She for the most part kicks either up towards the top of my belly, or down towards my pelvis... and she likes my right side a lot. I can always feel her in my back.

Cravings recently are Orange soda and hoho's. I know weird right? Up til now its been Chocolate milk and cereal.  Here are some of the pictures over the past 6 weeks :)

Wedding update

What a crazy time. Lots to update on the wedding. For a small wedding we are sure busy... Rings are taken care of, I was still struggling to find my dress and the location.

Dave decided that he wanted Layton Commons Park, and my friend T was gracious enough to rent it for us. (Layton residents get it cheaper than the rest of us). So I met her up there and we went shopping after. She must be my lucky star because I found the dress. :) Still needed a few special touches though. I got some green fabric and got a broach and Amelia helped me sew them onto my dress. Bingo! Perfect. And it hides the belly too. So location and dress done and done. :)

Then the next thing was to get my bouquets. I wanted one for me to carry and a smaller one to throw. My friend Haley, aka Lady Arsenic, met me at Tai Pan and helped me find the right ivy and the right flowers for the bouquets. Ended up being perfect! I put them together at T's house that night and hot glued them when I got home that night. Another thing done. :)

I spent a day at Karin's getting my hair and make up done. We wanted to experiment to see what we liked the best, so we set aside some time to make sure we could get it done right. Thanks to my friend Sharese, I have a beautiful tiara and vail that work perfectly.

Next was outfits. Dave has still been deciding on what the guys are wearing, so I worked on the flower girls. In a surprising twist, the ex wife, offered to make them for me. She was really nice about it and I appreciated her wanting to be supportive and helping us.

Just have some last minute things to do and get before this Friday. Thankfully I have Thursday off to help get everything all set and ready to go. :) I'm really excited. This is going to be fun.

Second Bachelorette party

A few friends were not able to make the first one, so Tamara decided to throw me another smaller one. It was awesome. We went to her house and BBQ'd. She had fruit, and cupcakes with kool aid in them, and other delicious yumminess. There was also cute props that we took some awesome pictures with :)

I love this picture :)

Bachelorette Party 06-16-12

I'll admit... the entire philosophy behind a bachelorette party is to celebrate the end of being single. I haven't been single in 5 years... but I had some really cute friends that were insistant, so I went with it. Ended up being really fun and I got to see some people that I haven't seen in a while.

The theme was "going wild" and the colors were pink, black and white. Animal print. Really cute. Mandy planned it out, and got the venue, Legends, downtown. Also booked Tracy with Blue Boutique to come. (Not gonna lie was kinda nervous about that. I've never had a good turn out with those parties.) It did end up working out though. We had 30 RSVP, about 9 girls showed. Best turn out I think I've ever had lol.

Sharese helped with the decorations.

Kat helped with the games. There was guess how many kisses in the jar - Amelia won. Who can blow a clown baloon up - Amelia won again. Who can tie a knot in a cherry stem - Amanda won. Pin the "Dick on the Dude". Kat made a guy out of cardboard and we used balloons. lol.

Kyle was there taking pictures. We had a little creative fun with the balloons.

Then we opened presents. I got some really cool things, esp loved the tupperware. Dave used it as soon as I showed him. lol. Then Kyle left and Tracy started her portion. It was really fun and I'm glad I had such a good turn out.

The Rings!!!!!

I know, I suck its been a month and so much has changed!!! Lots to update, so I better get at it.

This one will be about our rings. Yes, I'm going out of order but that's ok! lol

Dave's ring I got months ago. Its killed me to keep it locked up, but I wanted it to be special and so I wanted to wait until we got both rings before we wore them. His is black ceramic. Its really heavy duty, so it won't break. It won't shrink or conduct electricity. I still got the lifetime warrenty on it though. (You never know in our case - better safe than sorry). It's really light weight, so it won't weigh his hand down either.

Mine, we were able to get on June 22. (More about that day later) I had the hardest time ever with finding my ring. All the ones that I were looking at were super spendy. I really wanted an Oval one. I didn't want it huge though. The affordable ovals were huge. Like rocks on my hand. (No thanks). I did find the perfect ring, oval with a halo not very tall, loved it. $4500 and had to be paid off before we got it. Ya... that isn't happening. I'm sorry but I'm not about to pay that much for a ring... no way no how. That's like 4 months of rent... or paying off half my car. lol. OI. So back to the drawing board. I looked everywhere, and just was coming up empty. So I decided that even a rectangle would look pretty... I just wanted a ring that no one else had. Since Morgan Jewelers was so good to us I went back there, and low and behold I found it. Loved it and watched it like a hawk for two months lol.

There is a band that we want to add, but we're planning on getting that for our one year anniversary. I'm pretty excited.
