of course it is...

chris and i got engaged the end of june... and ever since it has been a hilarious adventure... i can say hilarious cause looking back at everything it is... but it was not funny each time something new had come up.  we had originally set the date for the end of august... but we had to get some paperwork approved first since chris had already been married in the temple of our church.... he had to fill out paperwork to get approval to get married again in the temple.  mid july we got word from our church leader that the process was going to take longer than he originally thought so august was out of the question.... then we thought ok... maybe october... and then he told us it would actually be more like january when we could get married.... that was a huge blow... but we decided it was ok and worth it to wait and be married in the temple... it was (and is) really important to us so we thought ok we can wait.... it took a lot longer than we thought to actually get the paperwork mailed off... now we are in the last couple weeks of receiving the approval in the mail... maybe 2-3 weeks.

 little things keep creeping up here and there and we have to change our plans... so we thought... lets plan on january 15th.... it would be a fun date since my birthday is the day before and the day before our 1 year anniversary of our first date.  last night while waiting in line for harry potter (which was soooooo good!!!) my wonderful awesome friend informed me that the temple is closed the first 2 weeks of january for maintenance and cleaning (they do it every six months)  normally they do it the 2 weeks around christmas but they changed it this year.... i had a moment of panic... i had already set me caterer and decorator... and reserved the place for the reception.... so i called my mom and asked her to call a few people and everyone is available for the next weekend... so everything was fine, but it was a little moment of panic....  

i fianlly called chris to let him know the temple is closed on the 15th  and he replied "of course it is..." hahaha i just had to laugh.  even with all the little set backs that aren't the end of the world... i'm so excited to be getting married... and so many things seem so unimportant now... i have had the chance to be excited about being married to chris and not worrying about putting on the perfect wedding... cause that part is not my main focus... i just want to be together with chris forever.... and that is what we are waiting for... i know its cheesy.... but this time we are waiting is nothing when you think about being together forever.... we have had the chance to get to know each other even better and have learned that we get along perfectly... we can support each other and work together as we wait to make things official.... i just loved his response... "of course it is"  bring it on.... whatever else may come up we can handle!! haha
