First off, I’m not such a fan of waiting for Megan to drive home, but I do really like that it gives me some time to blog. We had our parents meet each other tonight at the Prosser’s house which I think worked out pretty well. They seemed to hit it off and I don’t think we came across any major road-bumps. I enjoyed having it at the Prosser’s and allowing them to get to know my parents as well and giving my parents a bit more of a glimpse into my life and that of the church.

Work went well today. I was only in the office for about half the day and then was driving around. Jenna and I talked about Megan and our marriage/relationship for a while. We seemed confident that things were going to work out. Jenna is getting married in a little under a year and I had expressed that there was no way I could wait that long. She told me that they are trying to save up to buy a house, so that’s the reason for waiting which makes sense to me. I’m glad that I have many of those things already straight in my life.

Megan and I were talking about jewelry for the wedding today. I rediscovered one of the things that I love about her. She is so sensible with money. She’s frugal, but not extreme. We were looking at bracelets for her and she kicked many out because they cost over $500. I love that she is so reasonable to understand that she’d rather have a $300 bracelet and a trip to Hawaii instead of a $5,000 bracelet.

It has come up more than once lately as to if we have had a real date. I’m not sure how to handle that question, because of course we’ve had tons of dates, but we certainly haven’t had a formal get dressed up kind of date. I’m not set on having one before we get married, but it would be kind of nice. Maybe I can arrange to take her to Wicked, although I kind of want to do that out of town. We have been talking about going to the drive in, but that wouldn’t require getting dressed up. Maybe we’ll have the opportunity next week while we are back east.

Megan made two suggestions last night which were great. I’d been thinking for a while that we needed to get better at praying together. It seems so often that we run to the end of the wick and fall asleep before we say our evening prayers, at least as formally as I’d like to. And I know that since she wakes me up in the morning, I often get out of the routine of my morning prayers. She suggested that we start praying together and also that we start reading scriptures together. I’m game for both suggestions, we just need to figure out how to actually make it work. We also have three books now to read together, so we’re thinking about each reading one alone and then passing it along. The problem I shared is that I don’t know when either of us is going to find the time to read at all.

I’m looking forward to going to the temple in the morning, but I’m not looking forward to going without any contact with Megan for that same time. I feel like I haven’t been in a while with not going last week, so I feel like I am long overdue. It sounds like I have some errands to run after the temple tomorrow. Tomorrow night we are getting fitted for our suits, getting some jewelry taken care of and hopefully spending some time with Melissa before she leaves for London.

I really didn’t feel like going to work on Friday. I just wanted the weekend to come so I could spend time with Megan. We were supposed to be meeting up with my parents to celebrate mother’s day, but Susan ended up being sick, so Megan and I went alone to Lucille’s BBQ. After that we went to the campout with the branch, but didn’t find all that much going on there. We sat by the fire and talked for a while as well as ate some cobbler and then decided to high tail it out of there. We didn’t want to get caught being there past ten when they lock the gates. We came back tot he house and made some chocolate covered strawberries to eat while we watched One Tree Hill.

We had cake consultations on Saturday. The first was at Jodee’s Bakery which I’ve worked with before at Grand Tradition. Her cakes were really good, and we both really liked this almond poppy-seed with cream cheese and raspberry frosting. The cake turned out a bit more expensive than we were hoping for, but I think we’re going to get it figured out how to get it from there as we don’t have any other options to pursue at this point. We had a second appointment at Tasteful Cakes in Corona. They had some interesting products, but we weren’t as impressed with them and it seemed that they were not really going to be any cheaper.

We went to Ashley and looked at bedroom sets and then picked up dinner at Costco for the crew that was going to assemble our wedding invitations with us. We worked on those for a few hours and then after everyone left Megan and I went and sat in the spa for a while. It was pretty nice just hanging out with her and talking.

Today I slept in till about 9:30 and then didn’t get out of bed until about 11 to get ready for church. We went to church with her parents and I didn’t see nearly as many people looking for her wedding ring to figure things out with us. It was so lividly hot in there though I had to take my jacket off and wasn’t sure I was going to make it even then. Fortunately Megan’s dad was able to go out and fix the problem so we started getting some air in Sunday School. We had dinner with her family and hung out there for most of the day. We just came back to my house to fetch her car and she should be calling me any minute now so I can go to sleep! Good night to you all.
