W.E.D.D.I.N.G. stuff..

Hello out there!

I wanted to post real quick to let you all know how things are going, since people keep asking!

Things are great!

We got invitations out last weekend, and many of you lovely people have let us know you recieved yours!

(if you have not, let me know! don't just assume you didn't get one)

Invitations were my #1 stress!

So what does this mean? I don't feel stressed anymore?

YUP!..for now

I cannot wait to get married, and I'll just speak for Andy in saying he feels the same!

We are to that point where we just want our wedding day to be here.

Wedding plans are onto the last minute stuff, and with my "i don't care anymore" attitude,

a lot of last minute things are being cut out due to no one noticing if we had those details or not!

Thanks to all of you who have offered to help with wedding plans, and details!

We are very fortunate to have a wonderful reception center that does basically everything!

So even though we don't need your help, I definately appreciate the offers!

We have felt an enormous amount of support from our friends and family as we take this next step in life!

We both have overcome a lot of trials in our lives to get to the place we are now!

We could not have done it without our friends, family and our Savior!

Thank you!

Next item of business regarding wedding...

Starting on May 1st, I won't be posting on this blog anymore.

I made a blog for our lives together!

http://www.justbamcdonald.blogspot.com/

It looks exactly like this blog, so you shouldn't be too confused if it's mine or not!

I'd love for you all to jump over there to follow us as we grow and learn new things together!

Again, there won't be anything on there until (let's be honest) after our honeymoon,

but I'll be moved to that blog by the 1st!

Please feel free to visit our wedding website for any details to our wedding, our love story,

and some more pictures!

(let's be honest, I know the pictures are the only reason you'll go check it out--nothing wrong with that!)

or if you recieved our announcement,

there was a QR code in there for you to scan

that will take you to the same place!

Once again, if you have not recieved your invitation in the mail, please please let us know!

We are human and probably made a lot of mistakes while getting all the addresses, and everything together!

People keep asking us, "are you getting nervous?"

Andy and I both feel about the same on this question and that is,

"NOPE!"

We seriously are both so anxious and excited we can't even stand it!

It'll be so nice, hard, rewarding, and fun to be married finally!

So no, we are not nervous and I personally don't see us being nervous!

Only excited!

We can't wait to see you all at our wedding!

Love, Andy & Bailey

Springtime!

I love spring!

SO Pretty!

I went out the other day at lunch and took a few pictures, nothing special, but I think they are pretty!

It's All Becoming a Little More Real....

WHICH IS NOT A BAD THING!

This last weekend, we had the opportunity to head down to St. George to take our Bridals/Groomals.

I couldn't have been more happy to leave Provo on Friday after it had started snowing!

Goodbye Snow!!

We had gone through the temple two days prior so we were very excited to be able to do a session in the St. George Temple, which is where we will be getting sealed in 3 weeks.

All day Saturday, we spent the day finding places to take pictures, getting ready then going out to take the pictures! I think they turned out really cute, and I haven't even seen them yet.

This one my dad took with his phone behind the bushes.

I love it! (and it's not even the real one)

So I can't wait to see what they'll all look like!

Big thanks to Reese, Kami, and Haley, for pictures, hair and make-up!

Happiness

warning...this post may be sappy (it's more for my reading later on than your reading now, but enjoy if you want!)



I can't help but feel this overwhelming happiness this past Wednesday.
I can't help but feel an overwhelming love for my Savior, my fiance, and our families!
Being perfect is not an easy task, and almost always we fall short, but that should never make us stop trying to be perfect...to be the best that we can be.



After lots of work, (and continued work even now), faith and love,

we were able to enter into the Lords Holy Temple on April 4, 2012.

What am amazing day for Andy and I.

Having it be both of our first times, made it really special.

It was such an amazing, spiritual experience to put all stresses aside,

and enter the doors of the Provo Temple to have our lives changed for the better.

I love Andy even more than I thought was possible.

He is my life, my rock and my best friend.

My love grows for him evey day and

I'm feeling like I can't express it enough!

<3

We were blessed to have the support of our families in the temple!

My parents, My Grandparents from both sides, Andy's parents, Jason, Jennifer, Jarom, Mike, Phill, Leslie, Vince, Katie, and Chase.

I can't even express on this blog how much love was felt during that evening in the temple.

That's just something I'm going to have to keep in my heart forever.

Unfortunately, I forgot my camera when going to the temple

so the only pictures of Andy and I were taken with my phone.

Which equals blurry pictures/dark pictures...

I couldn't post this without thanking 2 more people, who probably won't ever see this, but who helped us, supported us, and got us to the temple.

Thank you Bishop Moon, and Bishop Blake!

We definately couldn't have done it without your help!

My Birthday!

Day OF!

The day of my birthday consisted of me going to work part of the day.

Another part, working on wedding stuff.

And the last part, going out with Andy.

We decided to go to Olive Garden, which was pretty fun because usually we just get it to-go!

Nice change to stay there and eat.

After dinner we went over to Smith's to buy each of us a little cake so we could blow out candles!

Since PetSmart was right there, we ran in to buy a new light for our tank.

(I'll do a post on that later)

We ran out of time this night, so the next night we blew out our candles,

then we lit and sent off a "Tangled" Lantern!

The lantern way high up in the sky!

All in all, I had a very good birthday!

A BIG thanks to all those who were apart of my birthday celebrations,

via text, calls, facebook and in person!

Love you all!

Birthday #4

Day 4

I LOVE SUNDAYS

Seriously, I think Sunday is my favorite day.

It's the only day that I don't feel stressed out with wedding, work, or anything else.

It's the only day that the family loves to hang out with each other (okay, not fully true).

Plus, the weather the last few sundays has been sunny and nice!

So for my birthday, I asked for my mom to cook my favorite meat...Lamb.

And then we all played outside the rest of the evening!

We first played at the house outside before dinner.

Playing catch, basketball and a little bit of soccer!

Good throw/catch Kendrick!!

Cutest boys!

After dinner we all headed down to the White Church to see Kendrick ride his two-wheeler again.

Grandma and Grandpa Morgan came over right before we left so they tagged along with us

My new baby!

Grandpa doing his thing!

Ryan's shirt on Chase's head

Our sweet little family of 3!

I cannot wait for more days like these to come!
