It has been an insane last couple of weeks. the week of the wedding was probably the craziest.
Let me give you the brief run down (trust me, this IS brief) :
Monday:
Last day of classes and work for summer term, I had a final and a quiz. I also had to start packing to get ready for my checkout at my apartment.
Tuesday:
Reading day. No school or work, (that was a relief) but studied my brains out for my two finals on Wednesday. Had a dentist appointment. Tried to get more cleaning done.
Wednesday: Last two finals for the summer. Passed finals! WOOT! (we were worried about my Music 201 class!! eek!) Elizabeth my maid of honor and both mine and John's families arrived tonight. had a big dinner with everyone. Finished cleaning and packing ALL MY STUFF (i have a TON) for checkouts.
Thursday: John and I checked out of our apartments. Passed cleaning checks. Was kind of annoyed after all my hard work cleaning, the girl kind of ran her fingers along the surfaces and proclaimed it good. Started baking wedding cake. Got all three layers baked. Baptisms at Draper Temple with family. It was Cameron's first time!!! That was really special. :) After temple, ran errands, got nails done, got to bed VERY late.
Getting ready to do baptisms!
Friday: Went through the temple for the first time!!! Completely overwhelmed with information overload. Grabbed some lunch and hurried back to start frosting the cake! Got the first 2 layers frosted and had to get over to the park for the big family dinner. Enter John AND Ashley's extended family. That was a lot of people! and LOTS of yummy food....oh yum... :) Went back and finished frosting last layer of cake. Crashed in bed.

Trying not to fall asleep at the family dinner ;)
Saturday: Woke up at 5am and couldn't sleep. surprising? no. Got my hair done at my old roommates and went back to finish getting ready. My mom and I met up with John and his dad to head up to the temple. CRAZY busy that day!!! 33 other sealings going on and the lobby was packed with people! But everyone was really nice and we were well taken care of. :) We got sealed and saw so many of our friends and loved ones to share this special time with us. We also were lucky to have a good friend of the Moffats to be our sealer. It was pretty special.
But the day wasn't over yet!! After the sealing and much confusion as to where my groom went after we had changed into our wedding/picture clothes, there were a couple hours of pictures, some lunch, then over to the church building to get ready for the reception! And I still had to finish the cake. Finished the cake, helped set things up. Got five minutes for dinner and then my mom's family showed up so that my cousin Logan could be ordained a deacon. Then we rushed out to the reception area to start greeting people. Stood in very tall shoes for way too long. Those came off after an hour. lucky for me you couldn't tell with all of my skirts. Face hurt from smiling so much!! After about an hour and a half of the reception line, we cut the cake, changed, and made our grand exit amid bubbles and cheers into a sweet white limo. And we drove off to our happily ever after. :)
I'll give an update later on the honeymoon. Tune in next time for Disneyland! California Adventure!! The Open House! and our NEW apartment!!!!!
