Nate and I had so much fun together this Halloween Season! We went to Frightmares, haunted houses, tons of costume parties. I absolutely LOVE Halloween.... and this year it has been hard because of our wedding. Nonetheless, Halloween triumphed the wedding today! Nate and I went out to my corporate office all dressed up and ate goodies :)
I am the luckiest girl in the entire world! Nate Jorgensen is the most amazing man in the world! We laugh with each other EVERYDAY, I honestly believe that is what makes a great relationship. Laughter! I plan to laugh with him for eternity and I feel so lucky for that.
On Saturday Winter Rowland and Crystal Ross threw me a Bridal Shower; themed shower the bride with gifts. Cute huh? I am excited to see the upcoming pictures!!! Crystal took some amazing detail photos (which I finally learned what that meant) ha ha.
This Friday my family and I are headed to Manti to get my endowments out. We are going to sleepover on Friday and then get up early Saturday to head to the temple. My darling grandma finished my temple dress today. I still cannot believe how lucky I am to have her. She not only bought my dress, but all the supplies to go with it. I feel so fortunate to have her in my life.
If anyone has seen "Dear John" they will know what this means. In 2 weeks from today I will be a MARRIED WOMAN!!!!
I was finally able to meet with my oncologist on the 18th. The appointment went really well!! Nate and my mom came along with me and they were able to watch some more of my ear get removed for biopsy and watch me get my very 1st tattoo, ha ha. It actually is just to trace the first Melanoma site to assure it does not spread elsewhere. This dang cancer stuff is terrifying! Gals and gents, please wear sunscreen!!! The interesting thing is that I actually most likely did not get my Melanoma from the sun given I am not the "typical candidate" for skin cancer. My oncologist explained that the majority of people with Melanoma are fair skinned, with several freckles; along with various moles on their back. I do not fit into any of those categories thus meaning my cancer was instigated by other factors not including UV rays. Nonetheless, I am so thrilled to finally have a plan of action in motion to get this gunk out of my system. I was supposed to start treatment on the 18th, but because my doctor had to remove more of my ear I was not able to. I will now allow time for this spot to heal and then I will return on the 28th to start treatment as well as get another tattoo :) PS all of these tattoos will be removed post cancer.
As for wedding planning.... invites are out and arriving to their destinations. We have set even more plans into motion for this special day! My good friend Crystal (one of my bridesmaids) has been helping me do centerpieces for the tables (they are all going to be HOMEMADE). My friend Ann is working hard on the skyline along with being 9 months preganant (bless her heart). My cute sis has all of her dancers set to be our servers at the wedding and has arranged for the cutest little outfits for them to wear. My mom is just amazing; enough said on that one. All I can say is I am one lucky lady!!!!!
I cannot wait for the moment when I get to marry Nate. My fiancee' has been nothing short of amazing during this whole experience with cancer. He was right on top with the insurance to make sure I would have double coverage for the surgery; along with providing SO much support to me. Nate is truly my prince charming and he has made my life have true meaning to it. We are super excited for our lives together!
