Let's update...

I'm sorry I have been slacking on this blog a bit, I've been posting more on my other blog so for more recent updates I would probably check that one. www.thecarltons2011.blogspot.com

Anyway, There really is not that much to update ya'll on. We have just been super busy with wedding plans and working and just figuring things out. Anthony's best friend, Creed came home from his mission on the 22nd of June and yesterday was the one year anniversary of when Anthony and I met in Good ol' Australia! I will be going to the temple this week and I am excited for that and I guess I can't lie, a bit nervous! There are only 12 days until the wedding and we are both so super excited! :)

Daddy!...

Happy Fathers day to the BEST dad in the entire world! My dad! He really is so great! I love my dad very much and I am so thankful to have him in my life. He has always taken such good care of me and the rest of the family of course! I know it hasn't always been easy for him especially having a house full of girls even all of our dogs have been girls...haha and he had to go through raising two teenage girls, I honestly don't think I was that bad, but who knows haha. Anyway, My dad has always been so supportive. He was at every single one of my dance competitions and all my football and basketball games that I cheered at and just about anything that had to do with cheerleading he was at and he was always at my soccer games!He has just always taking care of me! Especially with my up coming wedding, he has told me many times that he wants to do all he can to make sure it is a very special day for me! I just want my dad to know that I am thankful for EVERYTHING he does for me and I love him with all my heart and I always will!! I love you daddy :)

Bridal Shower...

On Saturday, June 11th was my bridal shower and do I have a funny story for you! This bridal shower was down in fairview and it was the girls from Anthony's family and then some ward ladies and friends from down there, obviously. When it came time to open presents which I think is so awkward, I hate when people watch me open presents..haha. I don't know why, anyway the first present Livi gives me id from Shy and her mom, Kristie. The first thing I pull out of the nag is a Victorias Secret box..haha Yeah I bet you all know where this is going. I asked everyone if I should open it and they all say "Yes!" so I did and it's lovely lingerie..haha Yep, it was awesome. ok then I opened everything else which was all kitchen stuff! Which is greatly appreciated! :) but I just want to tell everyone the funny story...so the next day, Sunday when we all got home from church. Anthony,his family and me were all in the kitchen getting dinner ready when Livi his 11 year old sister says "Anthony! Guess what Shy and Kristie gave Desiree?..They gave here a cheeta print swim suit! Now we can all go swimming!" Everyone burst out laughing, it was so funny!! Oh bless her:) I wish I had pictures to post on here, but my mom has the camera with the pictures, perhaps later I shall post them...hmm :) I must add 27 Days!

Just a Little Preview...

Well here are just a few of our engagements. They were done by one of my best friends. Elicia and her photography is Elicia Launi Photography, she is pretty good! Also I guess I should inform you all that I am in the process of starting a blog for Anthony and I, you can have a little preview of it at www.thecarltons2011.blogspot.com It has one post so far on it and it also has an "Our Story" page. You just have to click that tab and it tells the story of how we met...it's more from my side, but still good...I will eventually get his side up there:)..eventually.

Which leaves..Creeds homecoming 13 days! my sister getting her butt back to Utah about 21 days and the wedding 31 days (counting today) haha There are just so many fun things to come this month and next month, I'm so excited! Today I get to see my dress, the whole way driving to Anthony's work I kept telling him how excited I am to see my dress and how excited I am for him to see me in, but not till the wedding!! He just laughed and said "you're so animated" haha:) Anyway, back to my birthday. Well I really got a birthday weekend cuz I have the best fiance and family in the world, seriously! It started on Friday when Anthony came to my house after work and had a few presents and cakes from him as well as his cousin, Lu and his sister Abby. I guess I should mention earlier that day I went to the doctor for a DOUBLE ear infection. Ouchy!! Anyway So I opened those and they were so great and my parents and Fiance sang happy birthday to me with Abby's cake..We'll call that cake #1 haha... Then on Saturday we celebrated with my parents and their cake to me the happy birthday song and all cake #2 and Anthony took me to lunch and then a movie, the hangover partII :) haha...Then we came back to my house and found that my parents got use furniture, nice furniture and I'm super excited about it! Then we went to dinner and then a Blaze game! Can I just say it made me super excited for football season! :) :) Then we went back to my house so we could grab his truck and headed down to his house! Can I just say his little sister are just so cute they made me signs saying "Happy Birthday Desiree" and on was even backwards..haha..so on sunday, my actual birthday, we went to church and had a little party afterwards with cake #3..haha it was a pretty great weekend and I'm just so lucky:) It's weird to think next year on my birthday that I will be married for almost a year!
