My Super Exciting Birthday Plans!

So, as of 32 minutes ago, I am now 21. I don't feel much older, other than the fact that I am sleep deprived with no reprieve in sight. But I just thought I should let you all know about my very EXCITING plans for my birthday tomorrow! Here's what's on the agenda-

5:45- Wake up
6:45- Leave house to go to the Library and finish my Stats homework
7:45- Head off to Anatomy and Physiology
8:00-9:30- Listen to a super exciting A&P lecture
9:45-11:15- Work on a case study in my Stats Class
11:15-12:45- Back to the Library to start on my 7-page paper on Ancient Egyptian Marriage Culture which is due tomorrow. . . (Very interesting. Seriously. You should read the stuff, I've been eating it up!)
12:45-1:45- Work my tail off in my Footwork, Agility and Plyo's class
2:00-3:00- Weigh random people's backpacks for my Stats project
3:00-6:00- Back to the Library for more writing about Egyptian weddings
6:00-6:30- Dinner Break
6:30-11:30- Still writing. . . .
11:30- Leave library for home
12:00- Collapse, exhausted, into my not-so-comfortable bed

What do you think? Pretty stinkin awesome huh? If only every birthday could be THIS good.

Engagement Pictures!

Ok, the day has finally come. . . we have our engagement pictures! We got up last Saturday at 3:00 in the morning to be ready by 4:00 to be to Rigby, ID by 4:30 where we would meet up with our photographer to drive to Jackson by 7:45 which is when the sun was supposed to rise against the Teton's. 3 hours of sleep, a long drive and pulling up to the barn we wanted to take our pictures at at 7:44 and 59 seconds just in time for the sunrise was TOTALLY worth it! :) The pictures turned out BEAUTIFULLY and we are so happy with Heidi (our photographer). Blink photography has a special place in our hearts :) And she will be gracing us with her presence at our wedding as well. I can only imagine how awesome our wedding pictures will be! If you want to view some of our pictures, go to www.blinkphoto.lifepics.com and enter dallin (all lower-case) as the event code. Let us know your favorites!!

Google Fun

I am copying an idea from Rachel's blog because I am laid up in bed with the stomach flu. Mom and Dallin had it this weekend and now Jen has it and I believe I am starting in on the wonderful journey now as well. :) All of us have either suffered or are suffering with it right now. I very much dislike the stomach flu. It's miserable.

So anyhow, I guess I am supposed to type in certain things in Google Images and then post the picture, so here goes!

First Name: Laura

Middle Name: Ashley
Last Name: Henry (Soon to be Calaway! :) Sorry, I am a dork, I am just excited about getting married, what can I say?!)Age: 21 (Well, in 17 days I will be)

No idea what this has to do with the number 21, but oh well!

A place you want to visit someday: The Caribbean


Favorite Vacation Spot: Priest Lake (I just made that discovery this summer!)

Past Celebrity Crush: Brad Pitt


College Major: Dental Hygiene

Place I grew up: Pasco, WA

First Job: Working at B&B


Favorite Dessert: Chocolate Lava Cakes, Yum!!

Favorite Food: Steak and a Loaded Baked Potato

Favorite Color: Red


Someplace I went today: The Ricks Building



What's for dinner tonight: Chicken Noodle Soup most likely. . .


As for an update on wedding stuff, I have my dress!! I got it this weekend with Mom and Jen (pre-puking) and I also got my temple dress and garments and everything. Those are safely stowed back in Pasco, but my dress is here since I will most likely take my bridal pictures here with my photographer. Blink Photography is doing our engagements and our wedding pictures and she is amazing!! We are so excited. Engagements are going to be on the 23rd of this month, hopefully with snowy tetons in the background. It will be beautiful. Little girls dresses are being purchased and the moms are working overtime to make this thing beautiful! Thanks Mom and Valerie for being super-women! You two are amazing! I would post pictures of my dress, but I fear Dallin seeing the pictures. . . so, I guess you'll just hafta wait :) That's the update of my life thus far. Hopefully I get over this nastiness and I can get on with school and planning! Happy October!
