This Is How We Glamp

I have some pretty awesome friends. I love them and they love me. It's like this whole love thing that happens when we're together. It's the neatest.

A few weeks ago, my darling Amber (I feel like I talk about her a lot on my blog? Not sorry.) threw me the most darling bridal shower in the history of darling bridal showers. It was glamping themed (she knows the way to my heart) and it was everything I could ever imagine and more.

The cutest glamping invites I ever did see.

Amber made this dream catcher and asked people to write marital advice on paper feathers for me. It was my favorite.

Roasting some mallows

Yumz.

More yumz.

Amber also made these adorable golden diamonds and hung them from the ceiling. Un.freaking.real.

The s'mores bar in its entirety.

Nomnomnom. Literally the best s'mores I've ever had.
*Hint: adding peanut butter and using almond hershey's bars just take everything to a whole other level.

The cutestttttttt ladies.

This is how we glamp.

The yummy food my familia prepped for the party. :)

My old BYUB girls. Too much love for them.

The beautiful table. Don't worry, Amber really did paint each of those cups to add touches of gold. Nbd right?

Opening gifts. heh heh heh.

Oh you know... just lounging like loungers do.

My darling gals and the Cheese-women clan. Too many beauties in one room.

My beauty queen Janice. Love her so.

Me and the lady behind it all.This chick is honestly one of the sweetest, most thoughtful people I've ever known. Lucky to call her one of my dearest (and oldest!) college friends.

Ambie's cutie little hedgehog. I'm so obsessed.

Don't mind my crazy face.

Me and ash like to be silly salamanders. For those of you who watched last season of the Bachelor, this girl is JUST like Catherine. It's nuts.

                                                          

A Girl in a Dress

I'm baaaaaa-acccccccckkkkkk!

Phew! Life has been such a whirlwind these past few weeks. Everything has been so fast paced and I still haven't been able to fully soak up all the magical moments that my Mr. and I have experienced.

Even still, life must go on and with that I return to blogging. Below are some of the magnificent bridals that Ciara Richardson captured while I wore the most special dress I'll ever wear in my life. My absolute fondest memory thus far happened while wearing this dress. This is the dress I wore to vow my eternal love to my Jacob. It is the dress I'll always have butterflies thinking about. I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I do. I honestly love every, single one. They are ever so near to my heart and I cannot wait to get my wedding day photos! (yippee-ki-yay!)

A big thank you to all the people below for making these photos so perfect.

p.s. Just to further solidify how annoying of a bride I am... I'M GETTING MARRIED IN 8 DAYS!!!

Marriage Is

Hello loyal followers! You're probably wondering where I've been. I apologize for my absence. I've been a busy little worker bee trying to prep to leave for California on Friday to marry my soon-to-be-husband! (Typing that felt so strange. It's all so surreal.)

I get married in 10 days!
People, this is completely nuts. 
Like completely.

Anyways, I'll probably be in and out of this little blogosphere for the next few weeks so please bear with me as I embark on the greatest journey of my life thus far. I promise to keep you posted on all the ins and outs of it all! For now, I leave you with this beautiful thought on marriage. I can't wait to prove myself to my Jacob for the rest of eternity.

Showering Amber

Remember from this post how I had a little memory card mishap? Well prayers do come true people because my friend Amber and her husband were able to recover the pictures from her baby shower! Yayzers!

Below are some pics from her equestrian themed shower filled with yummy treats and happy hearts.

I can't wait to meet Amber's sweet little man in just a few more months! He's going to be a complete and total heartbreaker. :)

Delicious veggie salad cups made by the beautiful Ashley.

Two yummy cakes and mini cupcakes provided by The Chocolate. (yumyumyum but horrific service)

Gold-sprayed horses to tie around the goodie bags.

So many cutie gifts!

Different kinds of yummy sandwiches made my Ashleysmashley

Hope you felt showered with all kinds of love Ambie!
