No Sleep!!!

So it is 2:23 in the morning.  I guess this makes it Thursday, two days before my wedding.

I am soooo tired. And stressed.  I plan on knocking myself out with some benadryl before taking off for Utah tomorrow.  I'll get at least 2 hours of sleep on the plane.  Of course I've never traveled with someone I really care about before.  I am usually packed between strangers.  I hope Adam doesn't mind if I doze off.  Hopefully he will have plenty of things to do.

I am glad we are winding down.  We are going to have such a great wedding.  I know I am meant to be with Adam and I cannot wait to covenant with him and Heavenly Father in the temple on Saturday.  I hope we will be receptive to the Spirit and not focused on the logistics of the day or anything else that may be distracting us.

I feel so blessed by the amount of family who wish to attend the wedding.  I am also grateful to those who have been able to sacrifice either their time or money or both to make our wedding day special. 

I do want to say a special thank you to those women who came to my bridal shower.  I meant to get  a post for that and have been just too busy.  I loved all the gifts I received.  They were fun, thoughtful, and very needed.  I do want to single out the gift from Sister Hall.

It is amazing.  She blew up the picture Adam and I sent in our announcement and wrote me a story that she printed on velum, laid on top of the picture, and put it in a gorgeous frame.  I don't know if Sister Hall wants me to repeat the story on my blog, but I will say it was so wonderfully heartfelt and sweet.  I could barely get through it as I read it to the women at the shower.  I had to choke back the tears.  Even Adam teared up when I read it to him. :) It is a wonderful reminder of the amazing blessings Heavenly Father has given me because he loves me.  Of course the point of the story is that Adam is that amazing gift... :)  I love it so much.  Thank you Sister Hall!!

Alrighty... I think I am all packed for tomorrow.  Or later this morning I should say.  Whatever I have forgotten will have to be replaced in Utah.  I have checked and triple checked the irreplaceable items.  I would die if I got all the way to Utah only to discover I'd left something vital like a temple recommend!!

Good night to all.  The next time I blog I will be a happily married woman!!!!
