Found the camera!











So according to my post last night I thought I left my camera at my cousins house in St. George. I actually found it in the bottom of my bag last night.

Sara spelled without an "h" was getting bored...

Alright the title of this entry is from the song "Zak and Sara" by Ben Folds. Super cute song and its even cuter because I'm marrying Zach and so forever that song will now be about us. Even though the spelling is different on his name. :P

I just got home from another weekend in Utah. This time my mom came along with me. Our plan was to go into major wedding planning mode and see how much we could get accomplished in one weekend. Well we bought my wedding dress, my temple dress, Zach's wedding band, started birth control, created our design for the cake, (almost) finished our registry, asked the entire bridal party and tried to relax somewhere in there. I feel so relived that I now have my wedding dress! Its so cute too! For those of you hoping for a picture, I'm sorry but that's not going to happen. Zach checks this thing too and he's not allowed to see. I can promise its cute and VERY comfy. I think if the silly thing had pockets the would never get my out of it!! Zach and I stayed up late every night talking and just being together. It is so hard to be far away from your fiance!!! So after five nights of not sleeping at all due to my fiance and my dog-- here we are. It's two AM and I cant sleep! I think its because I kept passing out in the car all day long so my sleeping schedule is completely off. This stinks!
So to cure my insomnia I am writing a post and job hunting. That should bore me to sleep soon enough. I am currently looking for jobs in CA as well as UT. I wasn't planning on moving up until the end of the summer but it looks like if I can get a job in UT earlier than planned I'm going to have to jump on it. Say a little prayer for me. This is where it gets a little hard. Zach just got a job as an EFY medical counselor here in CA for the summer. If I get a job in UT sooner than expected we get to spend the ENTIRE summer apart. So it will be bitter sweet to get a job but I know its the most important thing for now, and Zach and I will have eternity together.
Alright the tired-ness is starting to kick in. It's back to bed for this sleeping beauty. I will post more about the weekend with pictures and the fun stop in St. George on the way home. For now I left my camera in St. George and my cousin will be mailing it to me soon. Until then no pictures. :(

Our first present!

We have officially started reaping the benefits of being an engaged couple. We got our very first engagement gift today. This may not be a big deal to some, but to me its HUGE! I love decorating and everything that comes along with it. I think it is so much fun planning our future home. My parents gave us this beautiful everyday dinning set; including silverware for 8, 4 extra serving dishes, 8 large glasses, 8 small tumbler glasses, 8 big and 8 small plates, 8 mugs and even 8 salad bowls. Thank you SO much Mom and Dad!
