Life the Past 3 Weeks through Pictures

Sorry I have been slacking so much lately on the blog! Erik and I have been busy little bee's, but alas, this week is the last week of classes! Erik will have one year of grad school under his belt and I will FINALLY be a college graduate!!! I figure pictures are more exciting (at times) than words :) So, I am going to update you on our lives through pictures and fill you in along the way!

First up: Our House! We have finally gotten everything torn out, and cabinets are being installed as we speak.  Here are some pictures of the progress. First job was to scrape this wall that was covered in paper bags, thanks to an HGTV quick fix tip!

Next, we knocked down the wall between the kitchen and dining room. Paul and Erik, here, having their fair share of fun knocking it down! More pictures of the progress to come...we just have not had the camera over there in a while!

Next, Erik's aunt Lynn threw us a couple's shower where the theme was "Stock the Bar".  Awesome if I do say so myself. Now, we don't have to go buy that stuff when we want to entertain; we already have it! 

And then came Easter! I didn't get many pictures, but we had a great time over at my Granny and Gramps house with my mom's side of the family. Unfortunately, Erik had to work, but it was great to have everyone together!

Ryan's birthday came next, but we failed to get any pictures. Emily, Ryan's girlfriend, had us over to her cute little apartment that she just bought and made us AWESOME dinner! 

This past weekend Brittany was home and we had the chance to go to her good friend, Sarah Walsh's, wedding. It was the most incredible and beautiful wedding! The bride was absolutely stunning and the reception set-up left us both speechless!! It made me SO excited to be marrying Erik in just 34 short days! We are so looking forward to having all of our friends and family together for such a special occassion!

Yesterday I had my final bridal shower! It was a Pampered Chef shower hosted by a good friend of my parents and it was so great! I was thankful that Britt was able to be in town for this shower as she was for the last one.  Something about having her here just makes it that much more special and is a reminder of what a sweet time this is! 

Erik got the chance to host a booth at an Earth Week Festival in downtown Boulder for Plant with Purpose. If you have not heard of Plant with Purpose, check them out. There work is incredible and it was really special for Erik to get to host this booth for them! After we were both done with our different activities from the day, we met up with our wedding photographer to take engagement pictures! Despite the pouring rain and cold wind, we managed to get some awesome shots and we are looking forward to sharing them as soon as we have them!
