So my Mom, my Grandma and I went and saw Mamma Mia today. Despite the obvious sexual references the movie was really good! Surprisingly my mom absolutely loved it! Who'd have guessed it!? We came home and immediately bought the soundtrack! I'm listening to it right now! I absolutely loved the actress who played Sophie (Amanda Seyfried), she was adorable and had the best voice out of all of the cast! Meryl Streep did a very good job as well, she danced and ran around the whole movie! She put great emotion into the songs, which I appreciate, and in fact made my mom cry and my grandma want to hold our hands! (geez!) The most awkward part (other than the gay references at the end) was watching Pierce Brosnan sing his heart out! Very awkward! Overall it was great entertainment, and the scenery was breathtaking! I can always appreciate another good musical!

Husband to-be
I have to take a few minutes and just blog about my amazing eternal companion to be! I just cannot begin to imagine why on earth I deserve to be with such a wonderful man! He is so thoughtful and sweet! He's always trying to make me happy, and whenever I mention this fact he shrugs it off like it's nothing. He constantly compliments me! I remember when we first started dating I had a conversation with my mom about how much he compliments me. I thought there was something wrong with me because I couldn't take all the sweet things he said, I got embarassed and I'd try to make jokes to relieve the awkwardness I always felt. Now it's just a wonderful bonus that I've learned to appreciate. I realize there are many husbands around the world who don't take the time to tell their wives how much they love them, or need them, or how beautiful they think they are; I can assure you that this reality will not be mine! I can be dressed in my grungy pjs and have mascara smudged under my eyes, and I flash a smile to the man of my dreams and I'm suddenly the most beautiful woman on the planet. He works so hard to take care of me, already, and is so appreciative of the little things I do for him. I never imagined a man as wonderful as Steven. I'm so very blessed and I write this now, so I can look back when I'm stressed, or upset, and I can know I made the right decision, and I'm very grateful.

Picnics, Parties, and Summer Fun!
Here's an update on our Summer so far.
I meant to post these happenings as they came but we took all the pictures on Steven's camera so I haven't had a chance to upload anything until now. I've put a slide show at the bottom of the post so you can see all the pictures that associate with the stories! Just scroll your mouse over the picture if you want to see the captions!
First things first. Steven and I decided we needed a propane grill. So we bought a small one for cheap one night. It was about 8 o'clock when Steven got off of work so we headed out to a small park by the snake river. Unfortunately the second we unpacked everything swarms of mosquitoes attacked so we shoved everything back in the car and drove to a park closer to home. We unpacked everything and Steven began setting it all up. Once we had it set up we were ready to eat, since it was getting close to about 9:30 or so. Unfortunately our propane tank had a different idea in mind! It wouldn't work for the longest time and Steven was getting frustrated while I ate my weight in pringles. Finally we got it to work and had the best hot dogs ever!
The next weekend we had another BBQ with our little grill. My roommate Ali and her boyfriend Sam decided to join us and we had a wonderful time!
We were home to Utah this last weekend for the fourth of July. We had a big party with my family and Steven's as well. His mom and youngest brother drove down from Mountain Home and decided to spend some of the holiday with us. It was a wonderful party and I think everyone had a great time! We watched fireworks at the Sandy City Council building. They were awesome! Then we went back to my house to light some of our own and two cops came, claiming we weren't allowed to light off fireworks south of 13800 south. BOGUS! Had we crossed the street apparently there wouldn't have been a problem. That's dumb! There's more brush and dead weeds across the street from us than in our own front yard. WHATEVER!!!
The next day we went to Lagoon. It was way fun, but incredibly hot! It was pretty nice in the morning when we first got there, and the lines weren't too long. By about 2:00 it was busy and the lines were super long, so we ended up leaving around 6 or so. It was a great day and I had a blast!
Now we are back in Rexburg, I have one week left of school, then I'm back home before the wedding. There's 27 more days!!! I'm so excited! The only thing I'm not looking forward to is having Steven stay in Rexburg for work, while I'm in Utah! Time is ticking by and Life is good! Love you all!!
