Bride & Groom Wedding Pictures

Well today was one of the most stressful days I've had in a long time.
We scheduled our Bride & Groom pictures at the temple for today about 3-4 weeks ago and then yesterday it rained ALL day. So last night my photographer called and was worried about it being wet everywhere at the temple for today so I called my hairdresser too and rescheduled for tomorrow, Tuesday. Then this morning I get up and my mom tells me that she checked the weather and it is supposed to rain all day again tomorrow. :( :( :( I seriously can't catch a break. My mom also said it was supposed to lighten up a little this afternoon, so I called back the photographer and asked her what she thought and we decided to go ahead and try to shoot today just to have at least a few shots that we could put up at the reception and if we had to we would do another shoot after the wedding later, when it wasn't so rainy and wet. So I called my hairdresser back to see if she could still fit me in today and got her voicemail. Now remember this is all happening right before I have class. So by this time I've realized I have too much to do before the shoot to even consider going to class. So I ditched class and ran around like a crazy person, (sorry if I cut you off or sped by you!), trying to do last minute things I could have done earlier that morning before class, had I been planning on the photo shoot when I went to bed the night before. Somewhere in the middle of my mad dashing to pick up shoes for Chase and flowers to throw together a last minute bouquet, I finally got a hold of my hairdresser and she said she could still do my hair.
Somehow I got everything done (except going to class), and we got to the Temple on time and got the shots we needed. It was pretty stressful and I thought my head might explode and I didn't get half the things done today that I wanted to but at least I pictures are done and out of the way. I am excited and can't wait to see them.

three more days.

15: Chinese Tangram

Today in my honors forum class at the beginning my teacher handed out these Chinese Tangrams/puzzles. You have seven pieces and you have to make a square with them. No gaps and you have to use all the pieces.
I fiddled with mine for a few minutes and then stopped working hard and worked smart. I googled "chinese tangram" and the first picture that came up gave me the solution. :)
Today's lesson: Be resourceful!

14: Taco Stand Goodness

Mmm. There is this little taco stand that sets up outside a mechanic shop/tire store down the street from Chase's apartment where they only speak spanish and they take cash only. They are some of the best tacos I've ever had. SO GOOD.

We Love the Taco Stand!

13: Reception Maps & Decorations

Today we got some of the decorations for the reception. These Chinese paper lanterns. :) I love them!



















I also took the time to create a map for the reception location and print them out and cut them up!

12: Cloudy Blue Sky

It's not as easy to tell in this picture but today as I was driving to church the sky was all grey with clouds at the top but closer to the horizon it was clear skies and SO blue.

11: Arizona Deaf & Blind Community

Once a month I go to the ADBC meeting and spend time talking and interpreting for the deaf and blind. They have elected officers, and run meetings with minutes and everything. They plan outings sometimes and love to chat and have lunch together. :) It requires a lot of patience but it is a good experience. :) Today was the February meeting.

We have our meetings at a building called the Disability Empowerment Center. It's a nice, new building and pretty cool looking, and user friendly! :)

10: Juice Jar

Ok, so I'll admit I didn't really take a picture today. I spaced it. Well ok I took a picture but not with the intention of posting it to here. I took it to show my mom later. I was at Costco getting the wedding announcements printed and while waiting I was wondering and saw this and thought to show it to my mom in case she though it would be good to have at the reception. :)
