One Month Down

I have been terrible lately at keeping this updated... I thought I should do an update since I have been told by several people to do so.
It has been one month! I can't believe how fast it has gone. Jon and I have done so many fun things. Right after we were married we went camping for a few days, then headed off to Oregon with my side of the family. It was so much fun, I promis I will get some pictures up as soon as I have a free moment.
Since we have been back we have been so busy! We figured it out the other day that since we have been married we have been able to spend four nights home alone with no calls, no one showing up, and with out us having to go somewhere to meet someone for something. Now that I am finally writing this I'm realizing how many pictures and things I need to update on. We are in our new home, and almost have everything up and put away. We will need to get those pictures up and also some of our wedding photos.
My Endowment session was on June 16th, I was there when I was supposed to be an hour and a half early. Jon on the other hand was able to go 30 min before like everyone else. But I think they should have told hime the same time as I was told. Not only was he running late, he also brought the wrong recomend. So they told him he wasn't going to be able to go to the temple that day. I don't know the whole conversation obviously, but I'm pretty sure that is about when the panic set in. I guess they asked him to go get his new one and maybe go to a later session. Jonathan told him he had to make the session and to just call his Stake Pres. Can you believe that they actually did? Then.. (yes there is more) they put him the wrong waiting room. He kept looking around to find someone he knew, and decided to try the other room. That's finally where he found the whole family. Meanwhile I was sitting in the session room with the other two brides watching their fiance's come in, Jon wasn't anywhere with them, till the almost the very end he wandered in. Oh, By the way.. we were almost late for our own sealing as well.. yeah we started it off well, two for two.
On the wedding day, after the sealing, Jonathan and I went outside to do pictures with the families. Except for one thing, Most of his family was gone. Jon's absoulutly adorable neice Gwen (I guess she is my neice now too) fell outside while they were all waiting for us and hit her mouth. She had to go to the ER. She cut up her lip and knocked out a couple teeth. I felt so bad for her. Good thing we had the reception to get pictures of everyone... since we were missing a good portion of the Dattage side, understandable though, don't you think?? What wasn't understandable on the other hand... My one and only brother.. as well as only sibling.. was no where to be found. He showed up right after of course for the luncheon where there was food. But aparently we failed to provide Kyle with refreshments to come to the temple. ;) To be fair, I guess he was late and was around the other side of the temple and couldn't find all of us. Well I guess that is enough for now. I will get those pictures up and and anything else I missed hopefully this weekend.

Coming Up Fast...

Okay, So I know it's been a while. But things have been so crazy!! I have my whole house in three different cars right now until our new apartment opens up this Monday (hopefully). Both mine and Jon's cars are completely full, then we still needed more space, so some went to storage for a couple days, and even more is in Paul's car too!! It's nuts!! I have no idea where anything is.. and I just know Jon wants his jeep back so he can go play in some mud. Jon is so excited to move to the new place.. I'm excited because it means we are that much closer to the wedding!! Can you believe it? We are down to 25 days!!
We had our formals taken this last week. Celeste and Kellee did an amazing job! We had so much fun with them. We started at the temple, then headed down the Logan Fire station. Kellee has a thing she calls the signature series. She takes something that is different, or just plain fun between the couple and takes pictures of that so you have a unique photo for the two of you that she never uses again. Jon and I decided to be blind folded since we met on a blind date.. We thought it was pretty clever!!

Jon said to me the other day, "I'm sick of being engaged!" And I totally agree with him. We have a ton of fun. But I think we are both ready for the wedding.
We have a couple of busy weeks coming up. Yesterday we met with Hollie our wedding planner. I don't know what I was thinking when I chose the first linens. They were pretty, but totally the wrong color of orange. Good thing we went back and set a few things straight.
We also have all but a few of our announcements out! Things are coming along. It's finally seeming real. But I still don't think of it as our wedding.. It's still feels like a big party I'm planning.. We will see how long it takes for it to really sink in.


Well this has been all over the place. But I thought I should catch up while I had a moment. It's thrown together but hey.. It works right?


Hopefully I'll be back really soon to share more.. There's no telling when I'll be in front of a computer agian while we are getting everything moved in.

Coming Up Fast..

Jon and I had out formals taken this last week. We had a blast, Celeste and Kellee are so much fun. They make us laugh. I can't wait till I have some of the photos to put up and show everyone.
It's all coming up pretty quick! I can't believe how close it's getting! Jon said to me yesterday "I'm so sick of being engaged!" Then he looked at me like he was trying to figure out if that came out wrong. It was pretty funny. Sorry it's so short, but I only had a minute, and it had been a while. I'll be back with more soon.

A Home..

Jonathan and I met with the landlord of the place we have been dying to rent. And I sounds like its all ours!! We are pretty excited. It is such a cute place, nothing to fancy just perfect for a first little home. There are two apartments in the house and one in the basement, so it's a pretty private place. And get this.. it's a two bedroom for only 420.oo a month!!! Can you believe it?! When we get a picture of the place I will have to be sure to get one up!

A Hole To Call A Home...

Jon and I have been searching everywhere for a home.  Its probably been the one thing that stresses both of us out, not because of the looking part, but more because its not set and done like the other things.  We have had a place in mind that we both really like, but there was one problem.  People still live there.. so we have just been crossing our fingers and hoping that they decide to move before we are married.  Guess what happened today!!  The landlord gave me a call and said they would be leaving, I missed the call of course, why wouldn't I miss the one phone call we have been waiting for.  So tomorrow I will call him back, cross your fingers hopefully it all works out!! 
Also!!  My best friend Meghan and her husband Paul had their baby early this morning!!  I'm so happy for her!  It is a little boy and he is adorable!!  His name is Onyx Kunsaitis.  CONGRATS MEG!!  Jon and I will be going up to Idaho this weekend to see them.  I was supposed to go up yesterday when I got the call that she was going into labor, But of course finals week stopped that plan..  why wouldn't it?!

Playing Catch Up

Jon and I thought posting a blog would be the easiest way to let everyone in on what is going on with us. Even though I did my best to stay away from the blogging seen, it wins...

Right now the name is a little deceiving, I'm still a good ole' Parker. But changing the name in a little while seemed pointless. Jonathan and I were engaged on February 9th.... I think. Our wedding date is on June 23rd, and we can hardly wait. It has been a lot of fun, I don't know why so many people told me it was going to be terrible.. stressful at times, yeah... but overall pretty fun to plan. Maybe because we are both so easy going.

Here are a couple of our engagement photos to get the blog started, Moments by Kellee photography took them. We had so much fun with Kellee and Celeste... HA! Kellee kept telling Jon to not look so gay.. I love it!
I can't wait to do our formals with them in the next month!!
