18 Days!

Only 18 more days! It's taking for freakin ever!! Both my mom and I are getting pretty stressed out about the wedding plans! We were going to put a false ceiling in the church gym that our reception was supposed to be held at, but we asked the stake president of Wellsville if it was possible to put 12 tiny little unnoticable hooks at the top of the wall. He naturally had no idea what we were talking about and said no. What a jerk right? My mom told him it was for a wedding, and then two other weddings after mine wanted to do the same thing, and he replied "well maybe I won't let people do weddings in the church anymore then!" He said many more uncalled for things, and was very rude and unproffessional to my mom, but i won't discuss that further. But it does go to show that he thinks that he can just do whatever he wants because he is a man, he holds the priesthood, and is a church leader. It's completely gone to his head, and I am discusted.
On a different note, we found a much better place to hold the reception. We're now having it a Blackstone. The new lady schedualing the banquets was very accomidating, and very nice, and willing to work with us in whatever we wanted to do! So it's definatly less work for us! It worked out ok.
Yesterday we closed on our condo! Signed my life away! yay! ha but we won't be able to paint and clean and move in till Dec. 1st. I'm stoked. I am so excited to get in there and decorate!
It's getting close! I'll soon be the Mrs. Casey Jorgensen. He didn't want to be Mr. Amy Nelson, not matter how much I tried to convince him, so i'm stuck with that.

Bridal Showers!

Last night I had one of the funnest Bridal Showers! My neighbors, and past young women's leaders, Joan, Patty, Janeatte, and Shelly threw me the cutest shower! All my family friends, and casey's family friends came, and we all had a great time. They did this little game, where they secretly interviewed Casey without me knowing, and videotaped his answeres, so that they could ask me the same questions, and after I answered, I also got to see his response as well. They asked us questions such as how we met, when we knew we were the ones for each other, and how he proposed and such. And not many of you know that much about me and Casey, so I'll be happy to spell it out for ya!!
Casey and I met on March 29th 2008. I was at my friend Kacee's wedding when I recieved a call from my sister saying, "Hey I gave that Casey across the street your number and I think he's going to call you tonight!!" Instantly I said "What how did this happen!?" Well apparently Casey was out getting his mail that day, and my sister, Amanda, who at the time lived across the street walked out to him, all 6 months pregnant and asks "Hey! Do you have a girlfriend?" He looks at her like, uh aren't you married? And pregnant? But said "uh....no" instead. She replied "Not for me! For my sister! She's really cute and I think you should call her." He really didn't know what to think, didn't really like the idea of the blind date stuff, but said "sure" anyways. So she showed him a picture of me, and he agreed that yes, it would be a good idea to call me!
So after I get that call from my sister, I decide to wait for the call, but not really expect it. But turns out that i missed it, and got a voicemail instead. When I listened and found out the voicemail was from him, I was ecstatic!! I couldn't beleive someone that hot was calling me! How lucky was I! So naturally I call him back, and apologize for missing his call, and see if maybe he would like to hang out when I got home. He said yes! So when I got home, I put on a sweater and pants, because for some odd reason in March, he thought a fire, and roasting marshmallows was a good idea! But i went along with it anyhow. So there we sat in his back yard for hours, getting to know eachother, and I found that he was one of the easiest people I could talk to. We met that night, and have been together ever since!!
I'm very excited to spend the rest of my life with him, even though he hates OUR dog, Skooter! But I'm excited to move into our condo, and paint and decorate and do these things together, and figure out life together! I love him so much, and I literally do not know what I would do without him! I'm thrilled that he is someone that is worthy to take me through the temple, and that I have to opportunity to be sealed to him, and our future children for eternity. I can't imagine life with out him, or even death. He is the one I know that I can start my family with, someone I want to have a family with, someone to go through all the "burnt dinners" and poopy diapers, and crazyness with! Someone that I can't live without! I love My Casey!

Wedding Stuff!!

Well yesterday I had the opportunity to do a lot of wedding shopping with my mom's good friends Michelle Andrews, and Kristine Jenkins. Who are brilliant at decorating and have great taste! So my mom and i took them to Tai Pan imports and we let them choose everything! My reception is going to look awesome!! I'm so excited! We chose ribbon, bulbs, and flowers for the tree that my gifts will be set under, and also the large bouqet of flowers that will be hanging from the ceiling, kinda sounds weird, and it's hard to explain, but you'll all understand when you go to the reception.
I also had a Family Wedding shower last night when i got home. It was really fun! Not many from Casey's side showed up, just his mom, aunt and grandma. But it still turned out great anyways! We got alot of great stuff! Everyone was very generous! I can't wait to put it in our condo! We're so excited about that part of our lives, setting up where we're going to live and starting our lives together!! But wedding plans are coming along great! I'm very excited! Hope you all come to the reception!!

New Condo!!!

So Last night Casey and I went to inspect the condo that we are buying. We didn't really know what to look for as far as inspecting it, so we had his parents come with us to help us out! It was very helpful!! Everything seemed to be in great shape. One thing I was a little worried about was the central vacuum, apparently it hasn't worked for a year and a half since the seller has lived there, but I went to check it out anyways, and i fixed it! All that needed to be done was to flip the switch! Ha what luck huh? I'm excited! I don't have to buy a vacuum now!
Other than all the cleaning I'm going to have to do to that place, we just need to paint so that it looks alot nicer! I'm thinking of painting the kitchen red, like a dark red like in my parents kitchen, and then the halls and living room a light tan color. I'm excited! Casey and I really just want to get in there and get things rolling, and get all our stuff set up and all that fun stuff! We just want to be married really bad! Time is going so slow it feels like. But we officially own the place on Dec. 1st, so it's going to be a hectic 2 weeks after that when we get married. Casey will have his finals, and having to paint the place, and i'll be doing my wedding stuff, and trying to get everything moved in! It's going to be crazy! But we have the help and support of our family so that will make things easier!!

35 Days!!


Well Casey got back from Florida today! I'm so happy he's back. I don't think he took any pictures, but he did have a good time! He brought me back a Hooters shirt, haha, which I am wearing right now!
Well 35 days till we get married now! I just got all our invitations printed out yesterday, and they look wonderful! Instead of doing just one design of invitation, we decided on doing 4 different kinds. So not everyone is going to get the same design of invitation. We thought it would be a fun little idea! I got all of them in the envelopes, now all that's left is the addressing, which will probably be a good job for Casey to do, don't you think? But we have time, we'll be sending them out in the next couple of weeks. I'm so excited!
My mom and i also went down to salt lake to a store called Edibles, they have little party favors that are adorable. The ones that we are doing are little rice crispie square covered in white chocolate, and have white sprinkles for the border so that they look really elegant. We're going to print our picture, and the date we're married on them, and people can take them home for little favors! They are so cute! Here's a picture so you can see what they look like. Only picture them with a picture of my and casey on them! Dang cute huh?

37 Days!!

Well as you all may know, (or not know) Casey and I are getting married in 37 days! It's a day I never thought I would see! Ok, well at least not for a very long time anyways, but I am however, incredibly happy to say that we are getting married NEXT MONTH!! I couln't have chosen a better guy. I love him so much, and I know he feels the same way about me! He's made so many sacrifices for me already. Casey actually left today for Florida, I know, what a jerk right? Leaving me here in the cold, and going somewhere warm?! Lucky! But it's only been 16 hours since i saw him last, and I'm already sad he's gone. He'll be returning Sunday, but still, it feels like a long time!
Well the wedding plans are coming along great if any of you are wondering, we pretty much have everything all planned out, it's just a matter of buying all the materials i need! Chelsie so willingly helped with my invitations, she designed them, and they look incredible! Thanks so much Chels!! Other than that, everything is going well!
