Oh They Say When You Marry In June....

Life flies by! It seems like the older you get the faster it goes? HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN?!?!?! Sooo much has happened in the last 17 days!

First off my main girl, best friend and older sister Amber got married!! Holy cow! I was soo excited and terrified for her, and honestly,  for me too. How can I live without her by my side 24/7?? Luckily her husband is awesome and I 110% love and approve!

Getting Ready! :)

                                                                  

 But I was soo worried I was going to sob the whole day of the wedding. Luckily I have an amazing family and a Heavenly Father that comforted me that whole day! I only cried twice J  It was perfect! I wanted to be there for her every step of the way. I drove to the temple with her an hour early just so I could see her walk through the doors.

It's time!

                

I thought I could calm her nerves….but I got a little car sick on the way down, I literally thought I was going to barf over my bridesmaid dress! Aye  Caramba! I am always getting car sick, it makes for LONG car trips and one very grumpy Heather. Luckily that did not happen (this time)  Amber just held my hand and told me everything was going to be alright, she’s always looking out for me, even on her big day!

But once the Temple was in view I started getting soo excited for Amber! I was taking pictures every two seconds!....and yelling out the window “The Bride is coming! The Bride is COMING!”  Amber and I used our Princess Kate wave (something I learned by watching the ROYAL WEDDING, like a hundred times, literally) When we got to the temple I choked back my tears and watched her walk threw the temple doors! It was unbelievably exciting!

Temple's in view!

Using Princess Kate Skills and yelling at the top of my lungs :)

                                        

One of my 100's of pictures I took driving to the temple.... I should probably work on my photography skills

Getting so close!



:) Just a couple more steps!



Good Luck Amber Lynne!

 Because I’m not endowed yet I got to wait outside with the family, waiting, and waiting, and WAITING for them to come out! Luckily I got to babysit Curtis and Adie’s beautiful boys. Which helped pass the time. They are soo fun and cute. Carter (the younger one) ran into the temple, he made it past the temple recommend counter and all the other temple workers. Twice.  I think Carter made History at the temple that day.( Curtis/Adie maybe you should sign him up for the track team?) And then the wait was OVER! Mr. and Mrs. Eborn came out of the temple,  I have a new brother! Wahoo! Todd’s not an only boy anymore!

Carter :) He's adorable!

The rest of the day was a blur, pictures and more pictures. Luncheon stuff, reception, and tons and tons of family and friends I was soo amazed to see everyone who sacrificed their time to come. Some even flew in (Curtis, Suz, and Vanessa and tons more! Tons of people from the ward helped! They were so amazing! The night flew by! The bouquet toss came! I was soo excited I’ve wanted to catch Amber’s bouquet since I knew about the art of weddings., maybe sense I was born? It’s not that I want to get married next, I’ve got a long time. BUT it’s my sisters’ wedding and I might also be a tad competitive. I positioned myself at a prime location, Amber tossed it and BAMB! There was a ton of us girls fighting for the bouquet! I might have accidently knocked down a poor innocent girl in the front row! I feel terrible. Thirty seconds later and one beat up bouquet; I caught it (or fought for it?) I feel bad! I wish I could pass out a bouquet to all the girls! Especially the ones that I played tug-a-war with ( Amy dear) but it’s all fun and games right?

Mr & Mrs Eborn



Wahoo! :)



 We had a surprise dance party! It was a blast! One of my favorite moments of the whole night was when Grandpa Browning was busting a move on the dance floor!  J It was awesome! Amber and JT ran threw some sparklers and the moment came when I had to say goodbye! Holy cow, How could I make it through??  But I felt tons of peace.  I’m soo lucky to have such a wonderful sister to look up to. And then it was over!  That fast!  I can’t believe all the planning, late nights, stress, and the excitement of it is over. It’s a relief but I kinda miss the craziness of it. The rest of June has flown by with work and plans for the future. I have some exciting news but I don’t want to share it just yet J

See the intensity in everyone's eyes?

It got a little intense

Last Hug! I love you Amber!

Most of all today I’m grateful for my Dad! He has always been a solid rock in my life. Offering me advice and council when I can’t make decisions about simple or complicated things. (Which happens all the time) He shows me how to work hard, and play hard. He happens to own the coolest pair of pants known to man. They are blue with green swirls, straight from the 80’s and very puffy. I love them! I also loves that he still wears them around the house. He is so awesome.  He’s always so understanding when I make mistakes…. or get in car accidents. He is a great example of the man I want to marry....someday.  :)   I love you dad!

Thanks for pushing me to do my best dad!

By the way Tomorrow’s my parents 24^th Anniversary!! :D They are so wonderful! I love every minute I get to spend with them! Congratulations Mom and Dad!
