I am so blessed....

This past weekend my sister Stevie flew in from Sacramento to throw me a bridal shower.  Can I just say how extremely spoiled I felt all weekend?! Friday night on our way to the airport my mom treated me to the Cheesecake Factory, then Saturday we planned a little for the bridal shower and had a relaxing day together, Sunday morning Stevie took Taylon and I to Spring City to shoot bridal/groomal pictures, then we headed up to Fairview Lakes to enjoy a feast at the Ockey Reunion (our step mom's family). Then Monday morning before we started to gather things up for the shower Stevie decided we should go take more bridal pictures with our horse, Smokey. She said the one thing she really regretted when she got married was not getting pictures with one of our horses. I am really happy that she thought of doing some of my pictures with Smokey. They are PRICELESS! 

This weekend Taylon is heading up to Montana with his friends to have a bachelor party, and the girls and I are planning on going to 80's night for a bachelorette party.  Planning this wedding has been a lot of fun, but we are so excited to have the wedding here, and be able to relax.  


I am so blessed to have such a talented, and loving sister, and mother, who are so willing to share their talents with me.  Stevie has done my invitations, my bridal  shower, bridal pictures, special sign-in books for the shower, and our wedding, and she is even planning on making our wedding cake, and a table of desserts for our wedding. My Mom has remodeled her wedding dress for me to wear, and she has gone above and beyond everything we've needed for our wedding. I just hope they realize how thankful I am for all of their help.

~My Marriage Phobia~

We purchased our marriage license today! That felt strange. I'm a little skeptical to change my name to Ashlee Earl. Not that it sounds off or anything, just for the simple fact that I can't sign pretty capital E's- I guess I'll have to learn how, and get over that phobia. Maybe that's a little shallow of me. After being with Taylon for nearly five years I thought I wouldn't love him as much when it finally came time to marry him, but the weird thing is that I am falling more in love with him everyday. I hope that is how the rest of our lives together will continue to be. We also received our invitations in the mail today. We had a friend of ours that has recently started her photography company take our engagement pictures, then my sister Stevie designed the invitations for us. I am really happy with how she designed them. We decided to send them as postcards, so watch for them in your mailboxes!


Besides wedding news, our sister Brittany is going to have her baby boy anytime now. We are all so anxious and excited to meet little Landry. Honestly, I thought he would have been here by now. I think he's just proving his point that he will come when he is good and ready, and not a minute sooner! I'm sure he is going to be well worth the wait.

We're getting hitched!

So I haven't written at all this summer. I'm not sure if it's because I've been too busy to spend time writing, or if it was that I didn't have anything interesting enough for everyone to want to read. Anyhow, any of you that will be reading this will know by now that Taylon and I have decided to get married next month, if you didn't know- now you do.
Wedding plans have gone pretty well so far, but I'm sure everyone around us is preparing for me to turn into bridezilla. Hopefully that won't happen. Well, there is a little tid bit of information to fill you in on our lives. Let's hope I can keep up on this blog a little better than I have in recent history.

Change of Blog...

I had started a blog several weeks ago, thinking it was pretty creative. "Addicted 2 Adventure" was awfully descriptive of Taylon's and my life. Until, however, my mom was searching for our blog and typed in "Addicted to Adventure." Search it for yourselves for a chuckle. Hense, the new title of my blog "c'est la vie" meaning that's life, in French. Hope I can keep you posted on our eventful, and usually hilarious lifes! Until then 'au revoir!'
