Eventful Summer!

I just wanted to say thank you to all my friends and family who have given us bridal showers and bachelorette/bachelor parties and for all who attended. Matt and I are both very fortunate to have such kind friends and family. Today my work had a SURPRISE bridal shower for me. It as very nice! They gave us four beautiful lamps. They are going to match perfect in our cute little home:) We have been using these pink lamps. They are cute, but just not the color we are decorating with, so it is nice to finally get a matching set that will match the rest of our decor. Speaking of bridal shower parties etc, I have been one busy camper with all of these taking place in the last little while. My mom, sister and a couple of my aunts threw me a bridal shower for my side of the family at the end of June. June 22nd to be exact, it was the day after one of my best friends weddings, Victoria's. She and Joe got married at Soldier Hollow in Midway, Utah. It was absolutely beautiful. The setting was perfect since, Joe and Tori(what I call Victoria) love the outdoors. I was one of her bridesmaids and I have asked her to be one of mine. She is an amazing friend! Anyways so the day after her wedding I had a family shower with my mom and dad's side of the family and then on July 12th Matt's sister's Monica and Angie, his niece Chey and his mom threw me a bridal shower with some of my friends and Matt's side of the family. It was very nice. Both or all three Bridal showers were very nice, and Matt and I received many nice things for our home. We also celebrated our bachelorette/bachelor parties Saturday July 19th as you can tell from my previous post.This was the day before we moved into our apartment and then we had my sister, Travis, Lino and Todd and Steph come from Vegas that night to stay with us for the weekend. They all came into town from Vegas to celebrate our parties. It was so nice to see my nephew. He is growing up so fast. I have seen him many times this summer, since my sister has been traveling to Utah for many of these parties, but I swear every time I see him, he just gets smarter and smarter. He is so handsome and I am so proud to be his Auntie Sarah. He loves his Uncle Matt like there is no tomorrow. He always wants to talk to him on the phone, hold his hand, wrestle with him and play basketball with him. Matt just adores him as well. Matt and I both had a great time. Thank you Thank you! We could have not asked for more. I am so excited to start my life with Matt and I can't wait until we can live together. It is so hard to go over to our apartment and then leave to go home, but we only have 15 days so, I guess the wait is not that long. Planning my wedding has been fun and stressful, but I am trying my best to stay sane and happy. Matt is so good for me, cause he is so calm. I am one lucky girl to have him. Yesterday was Kilee's 21st Birthday. We went to Benihanna for sushi. Matt hates sushi, so he ate dinner at the Blue Iguana which is a Mexican restaurant right below Benihanna's. I love sushi, so he compromises sometimes for me, and still goes. Yesterday we were waiting for Kilee, Chris and her family for an hours so that is why Matt ended up eating at Blue Iguana. He said it was really good, and would give it a 9 out of 10. Kilee drank a mojito, and it smelled nasty. I tried eel for the first time and squid and I ended up liking it. I usually just eat shrimp tempura rolls and spicy tuna rolls. Tomorrow July 24th, I have the day off...YAH! I have lots of wedding stuff to do, but I plan to go swimming in my apartment pool and then BBQ over Matt's sisters house. I am excited to see fireworks and just relax tomorrow:)
