New Blog

I have started a new blog now that I am a married woman :)

sethandciera.blogspot.com

I will no longer be using this blog.

I'm Back!!!

Hello my blog followers!!! I am alive and happy! I know some of you have been concerned :) I received a phone call from my dear, sweet grandmother.  She said that I had to post something so she knows what is going on in my life! I updated her on my life during my phone call...but...I suppose I should update the rest of you :) I have set up a new blog for Seth and I. sethandciera.blogspot.com...It's not pretty yet and nothing is posted. I received a phone call from my fabulous wedding photographer, Brandon Burk.  He told me that my wedding photos will be done the beginning of next week! YAY!! So...when this happens I will begin blogging on sethandciera.blogspot.com. I want to start off with the wedding day on that blog. Since that is when our married life began. That would be why there is a lack of bloggage in the past few weeks. Happy day.  I'll let you all know when the official switch begins :) Ok, ok. Enough excuses.

Seth and I are living in a cute little apartment. Kind of in the ghetto. But it's our home and we like it. BUT!!! We're buying a townhome!! GO US!!! We should be closed on it at the end of this month. YESSSSSSSSSSS!!! I could pee my pants I'm so excited. It's adorable. 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, sunroom, spacious...basically just our perfect starter home. Pictures will be posted on the new blog once that gets going.

Seth is working at Zions Bank. He likes it a lot. He's also getting his Real Estate license. And guess what...so am I! We're going to make a great team! I don't want to do Real Estate forever. But it will be good for now.

AND! On Saturday I get to go help my dear friend and mentor, Julie Hinton. She owns Middle Aisle events and I have been helping her with weddings since May. It's practically the best job in the world! Most of you probably know that is my dream...to own my own event planning business.  We're going to Vegas this Saturday to do a wedding.  And next Friday I'm doing another wedding with her in St. George at the Tonaquint Park.

My life pretty much rocks. Seth and Icouldn't be happier.  Hopefully you are all pleased with this post.  :) More to come soon.

Family Pictures

Before Chase left on his mission we had one of my best friends, Jostlyn Walton (Roz Photography) take our family pictures. My mom let us each choose our own outfits as long as we matched...Chase and Mason definetly wore whatever they wanted to...Wow. I don't really know if Mason matches though...I love my family.

Bridal Shower

Kylee, Macie and Emilee decided to throw me a bridal shower and it was GREAT! So much fun. They put up cute decorations, had yummy food, and planned fun games. Thanks girls! You're the best!!

See You Later

 

I had to say goodbye to my little brother on the 17th.  He's serving an LDS Mission in Washington.  I'll miss Chase sooo bad.  We're very close and I'm sad to have him gone for the next two years.  I am so proud of him though and the things he's doing.  For more pictures of our goodbye go to his blog:

Happy Birthday Dad!

On August 16th it was my Dad's birthday.  Right before we had cake and dinner Chase was set apart.  My Dad said that was the greatest birthday gift ever!

Happy Birthday Justice!

Justice is an old foster child of ours.  Her and her little brother, Drake lived with us for over a year.  I love this girl so much.  She's like a sister to me.  She comes over to visit a lot with Drake.  On Sunday, the 14th it was her birthday and we were able to have her over at our house that day so she could go to Chase's mission farewell.  Later that day we had cake for her birthday :) Two nights before that we took her out to dinner. Happy birthday sis! 

Kiersten Lee's Wedding

On July 22, 2011 one of my best friends, Kiersten got married to a guy I call Q.  They're a great couple and I wish them the happiest life together!  Their wedding was beautiful and I loved every second of the day.  I love you guys!

Tanner's Baptism

Update

Last week Seth and I went to Bountiful for my bridal shower that his family was throwing me. We stayed with my fabulous aunt, Julie in her beautiful condo.  She was saying that I don't blog enough and she wants to know what is going on with my wedding plans. So this is for you, Julie. Recent wedding purchases:

• Bridesmaid outifits (super cute turquoise tops with black skirts)
• Lydia's dress (turquoise...very cute)
• Turquoise ribbon for cake and decorations
• Clear address labels
• Cake stand (black with a glass top and crystals hanging from it..very pretty)
• Urns for centerpieces on tables
• Sign in book

I had to add sleeves to my wedding dress so we also got my dress finished and I had my bridals taken last Thursday and I LOVE them. I haven't seen all of them but the ones I have seen are great. There are a few pictures on facebook on Roz Photography's page. There are not very many because Seth will not see my dress until we are married.  But if you want some sneak peaks of at least my face they are there :)  The rest won't be posted until after the wedding.

Stuff we have planned for this week:

• Get wedding invites printed (they are already designed)
• Order boquet
• Get Dad and Dave's tux measurements (Bob & Seth's are done)
• Order flowers 
• Order prints and canvas pictures for reception

That's about all that's going on now! Hope you all feel up to date :)

Happy Birthday Nacho!!

Chase turned 19 on July 5th.  It was a really fun birthday for him.  We woke him up in the morning and took him to breakfast at Egg and I.  Then we opened gifts.  Later that day we went to dinner.  Then we had a fun night playing Fact or Crap and eating cake.  It was a good day.

Seth and I got to go to Sacramento, California at the end of June to visit his brother and his family.  It was really fun.  My two favorite parts of the trip were visiting Lake Tahoe and spending an afternoon in San Francisco. 

Washington, Kennewick Mission

Chase has received his mission call and will be serving in the Washington, Kennewick Mission.  He reports to the Provo MTC on August 17th.  I love you Chase!  I am so proud!

Howdy Ya'll

A couple of weeks ago Seth and I took a trip out to Texas to see my Dad, Pamela and the gang.  Chase and Mason were already there so it was fun to meet up with them.  I loved introducing Seth to everyone because he had only met my Dad and Melyssa from that side of the family.  It was especially good to see Teancum and Lydia.  I love those two and I hate being away from them.  Texas was a lot of fun.  We went out to dinner to celebrate Cheyenne's birthday, went to a Rangers Game, went to Dave & Busters, took our engagement pictures and just hung out!  I didn't take as many pictures as I should have but I did get a few. So here you go :)
