Let them eat cake!


Ok, so while I have a spare minute, I just have to share mine and Brett's latest adventure. Yesterday we went to our final bridal show before the big day, and it was awesome! We entered a wedding cake eating contest and won second place!! Woot!! Luckily, the second place prize was the one we actually wanted, so we are even closer to having the most FUN wedding EVER! :-) I have to give Brett nearly all the credit though.... Because I am not a big cake fan, he ate most of the disgusting stuff, while I gagged the small bits down that I could. It was the most awful thing ever, but it was so worth it! If you want to see what we won, come to the wedding!!

In addition to deciding never to eat cake EVER again, we had a fun time going to the Vineyard cornmaze with Sarah, Antonio and Natalie. Since we got there just as they were letting the last group in, we were told we needed to be finished by the time it got dark. Well, we were done before dark, but unfortunately we got locked in!!! Apparently they forgot about us.... So we had to explore a little and find a way out. Here are some pictures:

Sneak Peek


Wow, it has been so long since I last wrote!! Things have been incredibly busy for us over the last few months!!! Because I still don't have a lot of time to include all the details of what we have been up to, I will just give you the highlights on both of us:
Savannah:
-loves her new job, even though it was very new and a little hard to get used to
-is so busy taking 6 classes in school she barely has time to think
-loves living at home a lot more than she thought she would (you really can't beat free rent!)
-hates the ridiculous amounts of homework she has, but LOVES two of her classes (Sociology and Abnormal Psych) because she is passionate about the subjects
-is still broke despite not paying rent, and may have to look for a new (really old car) soon because hers is about to give out...
-is so excited that she doesn't have school for the next two days, although she wishes she didn't have to work so she could really have a break.
-hates seeing Brett for literally only 5 minutes some days.
-is really excited for Christmas despite the fact that she can't afford to buy presents because it will at least be a long break from school.
-has decided to take one more year at UVU to get her Bachelors Degree so she doesn't have to stress out so much, and now she doesn't need to take summer school right after she and Brett get married!! YAY!!!
-is still antsy about planning the big day, although she doesn't have the time.
-hates that it already snowed up here and is getting really cold!

Brett:
-found a really awesome condo to live in until they get married, and it's only ten minutes away from Savannah's house!
-loves school, even though he thinks some of his classes are boring.
-is still working at Home Depot in American Fork, freezing his tooshy off in the lot
-loved that he got to go see Anberlin and Scary Kids, Scaring Kids, two of his favorite bands last week!
-received first place in the Cashier Olympics at work! (woo hoo for free dinner at Applebees!)
-is buying his first real suit tomorrow and is excited to hang out with his parents
-wishes he lived in New York City so he could be on Cash Cab.

Ok, so there you have it. That's pretty much it. A big highlight of the month is that we got our engagement pictures done last week and afterwards went to a really awesome concert! Since we don't get all our pictures until after the wedding, I kinda cheated and took pictures of them online on our proofing site with my camera... Shh... haha. So, they really are much higher quality than this, but I wanted you to at least be able to have a little sneak peek.... Here you go! (These were a couple of the ones our photographer chose as his favorites):
Here are a few pictures of the bands that we saw right afterwards! It was an awesome show!! One of the best we have ever been to! The first one is the guy from Straylight Run, the next one is Scary Kids, and the last but not least, Anberlin!
