Honeymoon!

Well, I could write about the honeymoon, but Jeff already did a great job. Here is the link to his blog. I will just add that it was the perfect vactation for us, and Jeff knows me so well that everything was just amazing.

Wedding Update!

Planning and Preparing for a Wedding!



I thought that with my simplistic attitude planning a wedding for October 11th would be simple. Well, I was slightly mistaken. There are so many little details with timelines that you don’t really think about until someone says “so what will you wear to the luncheon?” and I think to myself “I guess that is another trip to the department store after a full day of work.” I am amazed at how long things take me to do. I haven’t finished sending the invitations or gotten a dress to wear to the luncheon and a few other important things like writing sub plans for when I am gone from work. CRAZY I tell you!



Ok, so this is a little bit of a downer entry and I realize that I am not even close to being the only person to feel this way, but it was nice to get it out of the way so I could write about the great things that have been happening through all the stress (and now Mono for those of you who haven’t heard).

Jeff! That is what has happened through it all. He has been my hero (gag for those who don’t like sap and you might just want to stop here just in case you can’t stand anymore). He has stuffed envelopes, dealt with an exhausted and now sick fiancé, gone to the post office and given me hugs and held me when I cry. I am feeling so blessed for the stress of wedding planning (even crazier, I know) because it has given me the chance to be grateful for a man who will take up responsibilities that I would normally feel like they were mine, but now I can share them and not feel so overwhelmed. Jeff has shown me true service and love in the past few months and I know that will carry on into out marriage. I am so EXCITED for October 11th to come (with or without a new dress) .

Happily Ever After

So the evening started with Jeff bringing me a beautiful bunch of roses!
We hiked up to our special meadow for a picnic dinner of sandwiches and grapes.
Jeff then suggested a walk through the medow. On the walk we happend upon a rose with a note attached. We kept walking and there was another rose and note in the grass. This happend six times all together before we went back to the picnic area.

At this point Jeff said that he had another surprise and told me to sit down on a log and close my eyes. He set a present in my lap. I opened it and it was a book telling the story of how we started met and started dating.

At the end the book ended in the meadow with a picture of Jeff proposing in the exact spot that we were in.
I of course started crying and I am not sure if I said yes or not but Jeff put the ring on my finger and took the crying as a yes.

We are now happily engaged and will now spend the next few months planning for our October wedding!

California Girl!

I had the best trip home I could have asked for. It is always so great to go home and be with my family. I also have the opertunity to finally have Mom and Dad meet Jeff. We had such a good time with all the activities of the week. We went to the community theater production of The Music Man. Jeff and I also went to the beach. There were a few other activites as well.

We took Jeff to Grants Grove to show him the giant readwood trees.

Most important of all was that I went through the Temple for the first time. It was a beautiful and amazing experience. I was so happy to have so many people there will me. It was so nice and I will always remember how good I felt.

Well, It was warm but I just am always so amazed at how comfortable I feel when I go home. It is one of the best places I can go.

Memory Tag

I got this from Ann's blog!

1.  Leave a comment of a memory of ME!

2. Put these instructions on your blog so I can visit you and leave a memory I have of you.

Ok, the instructions may be short but my computer is acting weird so I can't copy and past and I didn't feel like typing it manually.

I'm home!

I have been so torn for the last two weeks.  I loved Hawaii and I REALLY missed Jeff.  Well, at least I survived and I now have Jeff back and a lot of beautiful memories of AMAZING Hawaii.  Here are just a few of the beautiful things I saw.

This is my favorite picture that I took and it was from the deck of where we stayed the first week.

This is me looking oh so cute at the PCC!

I love my FAMILY!  That was the best part of the trip, being with everyone.

I am a Nerd!

Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of Robyn Noel Wright, her continuing mission to explore all realms of nerdiness. To seek out new nerdy friend and places of nerdiness. To boldly go where many have gone before.

OK, so the other day when I was explaining an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation to someone I had to stop and think about how nerdy I was sounding. I loved watching that show with the fam. Star Trek has some fond family memories attached to it. I think one of my favorite episodes was the one when they are stuck in the time loop. Dr. Crusher was on top of that one. What was your fav?
