Bummer...

This past week has been crazy. I never thought so many people would be so excited that I'm engaged. It's been pretty amazing. I work at the Natural History Museum and a lot of my co-workers are my facebook friends. Once I went FBO (facebook official) with my engagement I've been stopped everywhere at work with people telling me congrats.

For someone who doesn't get a lot of attention...it's pretty nice. :)

Unfortunately, with all the wedding planning and congratulation happy hours I got sick. Total bummer! Wan has been sick the past week and was getting over it while we were in San Diego. Since I got sick a couple weeks ago I thought I was immune and everything was fine. Think again...I have a sore throat and a stuffy nose. I'm so bummed out.

Don't worry though, I will still go dress shopping this weekend and be happy that I am going to marry the love of my life next Sunday.

My sister has been planning our whole Vegas weekend and we were able to get the same church my parents got married in. I am so excited about that. The Church of the West in Las Vegas has been around since the 1950s. Elvis and Ann Margaret walked down the aisle there in the movie "Viva Las Vegas", Billy Bob and Angelina got hitched there too! Hopefully our marriage doesn't end the way theirs did....

I get to prance around Vegas with a "Just Married" tiara and hopefully get some special treatment there. My sister is so excited I think she may get a tiara for herself too! I will definitely post pictures soon to show you what a crazy weekend I think it will probably be.

I have the most unconventional family. My mom and dad were only married for 5 years and got married when I was 2. However, they have remained friends and are very close to this day. I am lucky for that. My mom and dad had me and my two younger brothers in the span of 6 years. My sister was born 2 years before me and was about 16 months when my parents met. Although she is my half sister she is the best sister I could have asked for and I am so grateful to have her around. There are 6 of us in the immediate family and we are so blessed to have each other. The whole family has not gone to Vegas all together since I turned 21. It will definitely be an experience.

Along with my crazy family, my best friend of 14 years will be there and I am so happy that she is coming! We have been through so much together and within two hours of me telling her my wedding is next weekend she booked her hotel and dropped everything...she's amazing!

Wan's best friend Mitch is coming too and although Wan isn't one to express his emotions very well I'm almost positive that he is super excited about it! Mitch has been there for Wan through thick and thin for 11 years now. He even helped Wan get my engagement ring...so sweet! I am so happy he will be there.

So I'm going to beat this cold and be prepared for a lot of shopping this weekend. I'm hoping I can get a dress like this...
