One more WEEK!

I still can't believe that a week from today I'll be

Mrs. Wilkins
It's going to be so great!

So last Friday my wonderful parents packed up almost all of my possessions and headed down south.
We met Erik in St. George after he took a half day off and came up. We signed our life away to each other and got our Marriage license, so it's official, we're getting married!!!!!
We got into Vegas Friday night, Erik's Parents had a VERY nice dinner ready for us and it was great!
Saturday morning, we headed over to our new home to move my things in and get set up, and by 12 we were done. It's great having such an amazing future husband, and brother-in-law when you try and move a heavy bedroom set up six flights of stairs. My dad sacrificed his back in moving my things too. So soon there will be pictures of the house, when it gets cleaned up and finished being painted!

Saturday night however, was the MOST important day of my life-as a single person. Saturday night, June 13th, we headed to the Las Vegas Temple, so I could receive my own endowment. It was amazing, and being there with some of my family, and Erik's was just special. Erik was there squeezing my hand and making sure I knew he loved me. It was really special. Erik went through the temple for the first time that Tuesday before, it was a PERFECT night.

My parents got some pictures snapped in the atrium after the session. So here they are!

I can't wait to kneel across the alter from him, look him in the eyes and promise him that I'm his wife for eternity! It'll be the best day in OUR lives! I can't wait!

A little too long...

Thanks to Niki, I've realized that I need to update this more! I've missed quite a few excited moments!
First off, Neil Graduated May 2nd From SUU with a bachelors in Science. So I headed down to Vegas for a few days before to get wedding things done with Erik's family, and then the plan was I was supposed to pick Erik up from work Friday and head up to meet my family in St. George/Cedar because it was Neil's Birthday. Well I got to Erik's work Friday afternoon... sicker than sick!!! I had gotten a bug and I was miserable. We tried to head to St. George and only got a few miles out of town before we had to stop so I wouldn't lose my lunch in the car. it was miserable! So we ended up headed back to his house, and I crashed the rest of the day. He was SO GREAT and took care of me! He's going to be an amazing husband!!! :)
Saturday morning, we got up UBER early, and headed up to St. George. Ran into the condo so we could shower and change, and then met up with the family in Cedar. Neil's Graduation was actually pretty good. It wasn't too long. Here are some pics from Graduation!

That's the Hjorth Side, my parents, Madalyn (sis-in-law) and myself and Erik at the end.



Neil and Wife Madalyn


Here is the Family!!! it's crazy how we've grown and here we are, with our spouse's! SO much fun!

So we spent the rest of the weekend at the Condo in St. George, getting burnt in my case, Erik just got a nice tan! We had a great time and we're sad that the trips to St. George is going to be a bit less frequent, since Neil and Maddie now live in Nebraska! So excited for them, but we'll miss having them close.

Memorial day weekend Erik was able to come up and spend some time, so we went on a date and had so much fun! I don't have any pics so I'm sorry, but we had a blast and got more wedding planning done! YAY!

A couple of weeks ago, Mom and I went and took some bridals- So I've picked a few to post!





Me Jumping for Joy! I'M GETTING MARRIED!!!!

Anyways, So I'm excited to marry my best friend in just of 3 weeks! I can't wait! The planning is coming along and things are going fairly smoothly thanks to my mom, and I'm glad she's out of school for the summer now and can help on my to do list!
