It's done!

We're hitched! I have husband now and my Ryan has his wife! I can't believe how smoothly and wonderfully perfect it all was! As Ryan put it, "it was story book perfect!" I feel so blessed for all those who came, helped, those who couldn't but thought of us, those that helped and put up with some of my emotional instability the few days before, and those who made me laugh. And most of all- I have a husband that I am SO blessed to have in my life. I love him so much! I can't even explain it- but I'm sure most y'all understand. Anyway- I only have some pictures which are wonderful to have from my family members and then our actual photographers pictures will be up in a couple or more weeks at www.pictage.com/274157 so check them out then!

Okay, sorry for the delay!

Here is the breaking news! Ryan got baptized & confirmed a member of the LDS Church on Saturday March 17, 2007! He was ordained to a Priest on Sunday in Elders Quorum. Both of those beautiful experiences will be ones that I will remember for the rest of my life! By making this decision, he has not only blessed himself but me and our future family! Now we can be sealed to each other for time and all eternity when the time comes next year! I am SO proud of him for making such a big step in his life, especially a week before the wedding! I am SO grateful to be able to now have the priesthood in our home!

Lori, Michael, Ryan and I and the Elders (that DIDN'T originally teach him). And in the other picture Ryan and Michael with Jared too. Michael who is Ryan's best friend growing up baptized him and Jared confirmed him! It was so neat! It was a tad bit difficult for Ryan and Michael to keep serious in those totally hot baptism outfits though!

Well, we're getting there! Just three more days until we're Mr. & Mrs. Smith! My family is arriving this afternoon and after 2:30 I'm a free woman until April 2nd! And, just in case you were wondering... http://littlehuxies.blogspot.com/2006_11_19_archive.html

Too Cute...

I just thought I'd share this because I thought they were so stinking cute! I found these among other fun decorations at my desk when I came into work this morning! My coworkers decided to mix my birthday and wedding celebrations all into one! I love it!

Warm Weather Music

If you know me, you know that I LOVE my music. And if you know me, you know that I LOVE the Spring. So I decided today that it's time to make another mix CD with all of my favorite "warm weather" songs in tribute to the BEAUTIFUL weather that we're having here in the ATL. I am so in love with all of the blossoming trees and the little green leaves starting to come out. It makes me SO happy, there's definitely something in that daily dose of sunshine that does a person good.

I have certain songs that when I hear them I think of the summertime, or warm weather, or driving with the windows down or something like that. Like when I hear the Gorillaz I think of last summer. When I hear certain 80's music it makes me think of a lot of my fun summers in Utah up in the mountains. I guess you could compare it to good road trip music too. There's something about it that makes life complete. Kind of like your soundtrack to life at that time. And that it will always be apart of that memory- or it will produce that memory for you each time you hear it.

So, since I want to make this CD I'd like some good music suggestions from YOU that remind you of the summer or just good times in general. That way you can be part of my little soundtrack of life for my 2007 Spring/Summer! What's your favorite warm weather song? Also pray for us that this beautiful weather holds up so that when our family that's never been here before comes to visit for the wedding it'll be nice! And also for the wedding day too!

Update

So, what's new? We're getting closer, we've got about 16 or so days... I'm getting so excited and sort of nervous too!! Not to get married of course, but just worried about everything going smoothly and looking good and all that stuff.
Both Ryan and I have our rings, we went and got his last night. He put it on for a little while on our way back to the car. It's so cool to see it on his hand, because the reason behind that ring is ME! He's taken because of ME! I love it, and him too! It's a really cool ring too, so it looks good on him. I like seeing my man taken! HA!
I did a test up-do on Saturday too and thanks to Jiznin and Ash I got half or more of my centerpieces done. The difficult and time consuming ones anyway. The photographer just confirmed with us for the pictures on that day too! So all these different things are starting to make it feel really real. I told Ashley the other night that sometimes I feel like I'm living my life, but watching myself in a movie at the same time. Like this all isn't really happening to me- because I feel so lucky. I feel so blessed to have someone who loves me unconditionally, despite my weight or height or crooked teeth or other insecurities I have. He loves ME just the way I am! He loves to look at me and is okay with looking at this mug of mine for the rest of forever! I feel the same way about him... but it's the nicest, coolest, most wonderful thing in the world to have that feeling reciprocated back with no one more than the other. I feel like a cheeseball saying all this, but it's the best thing in the world to be in love. Seriously, I highly recommend it!

I also had my bridal shower on the 24th too, and that was lots of fun. I got some fun goodies! Here are some pictures. I have good friends to put something on like that for me!
