Babies and Couches

Well, me and Andy are officially having a long distance engagement until the wedding. I'm pretty sure it's slowly killing us both! The two things that make it a whole lot easier to be away from Andy are these two studs:
                                                            Zachary

                                                                        Jeffrey

I love love love spending time with my handsome nephews! I seriously believe that I have the cutest little nephews in the entire universe, I love them so much! Even though Jeffrey looks like he's about to cry in this picture (which he is), he really does love me!

Andy has been pretty busy, too! He's loving AFY as always and starting to get our apartment put together (slowly but surely).  He's always working so I know that he'll do his best and I'm so grateful that he's even trying! Our recent purchases as of today are a couch, an air conditioning system that will probably save our lives, and a surround sound system for our tv! We technically already have a couch from the DI, but recently decided that it was a little too impulsive of a purchase and we really don't like it much.  I'm pretty sure Andy never even liked it from the beginning but went along with it because I "thought" I did.

Here is a picture of our original couch (quite retro)

And our new couch! I think the handsome couch decoration is included with purchase...lucky me!

Can you say UPGRADE?? I'm SO much happier with this couch! He did a great job finding it!

An introduction and update

I finally have a blog! I've talked about it EVER now and finally made one.  You should probably remember where to find it, because it's going to be the most epic blog ever! I'm so excited to share me and Andy's adventures with the world, because keeping them to ourselves is just NOT and option. First of all, a little background of us.  Andy and I met last September at work (we work across the hall from one another), and ever since our first date (in which he asked me on via sticky note..which we still have) we've pretty much been inseparable. We spend pretty much every spare minute together and are even starting to think the exact same things at the same time. I've never been happier with anyone else! He asked me to (finally) marry him on my birthday, May 30, in a super romantic setting at our own private restaurant. I was shocked! Now, we're living in Rexburg and planning the wedding. Well, I'm planning the wedding anyways.  Andy is the director of a youth program that is administered through the school called AFY (not to be confused with EFY) which makes him super duper busy.  I've been going to school and working two jobs on campus.  Even with our busy schedules, we still make sure we save time for each other.

Yesterday marked the one month countdown until the wedding! I wish I could stop and enjoy it a little more, but there is just too much to do! The semester has ended and it's time for me to go home to Nevada and finish the wedding preparations while Andy stays here and finishes up AFY and works some more.  It's always so hard to leave him, but the next time I see him we'll be getting married! The one thing I'm dreading most about the end of the semester is PACKING! I loathe packing. If there was someone I could pay to pack for me, I would probably do it. Lucky for me, all I need is my iPod and I can stay motivated for hours.  Andy is still working for a couple of weeks, but he's moving this weekend too....into OUR apartment! After a lot of waiting, we finally got into the apartment complex we were hoping for, because they have a great location and Andy's best friend Charlie can come live with us! We have most of our furniture bought, thanks to craigslist, and I'm thrilled to have somewhere to live once we come back to Rexburg for the Fall.  Only 4 more weeks!

Is this too much writing for one blog? I know pictures make everything more interesting, but please don't give up on me!
