It's raining...yay!

I prefer rain to snow. Of course, I don't care to walk around in the rain, but the fact it's raining reminds me that it's spring. But there is nothing like a Texas thunderstorm. I miss those. Ah well.

I went to Le Jardin (where my reception is going to be) yesterday with my Visiting Teacher. It was great because she's getting married too, although her wedding is in June (lucky). We talked about our wedding plans, our fiances, etc. It's funny because her fiance (Cody) lives in American Fork and is going to UVU in the fall. Stephan lives in Pleasant Grove (not far from AF) and goes to UVU. We also realized that both fiances declared their love for us on the same day: Valentine's Day. And we're all getting married in the same temple, though on different days. We also started dating around the same time and got engaged around the same time as well. Amazing. Double dates? I think so!

Anyway. I went to Le Jardin so I could pick out my linens and centerpieces. Ivory linens, purple hydrangea centerpieces, and purple organza sashes around the chairs. Pretty. Yeah, I know my color is lavender, but I wanted something bright for the reception.

This was the first time I had been to this place in about three years--the last time I was there was for my brother's mission companion's wedding reception. It was more beautiful than I remembered! You see, it's an indoor garden with all these fountains and benches. It's gorgeous. And we save money on flowers. Decorations done by God himself (in my mother's words).

I was also given a vendor list. That should help narrow down some stuff.

Oh yeah, I was at Anika's yesterday, and I used my ring as a hypnotic device on my one-year-old cousin Darren. It worked until he tried to grab it. He really seemed to like that ring. Well, not surprising--the diamond is VERY shiny.

Before I conclude, happy conference weekend to my fellow Mormons! I'm going to the morning session tomorrow in Salt Lake with Stephan and Scott. And then I get to spend all of conference weekend with Stephan's family. Not the sleeping part, duh!
