Lost Time and Fairytales..

       Audree is almost 6 years old. 6! Where has the time gone? What has happened to my little chunky baby that loved MiMi's (binkies) and snuggles with Mommy. She will be starting First grade this fall and riding the bus all by herself... FIRST GRADE?! Oh man.. 

       Right now her favorite consist of: Pink, Music, and Dancing. She doesnt have a favorite song at the moment but she does know just about every song on the radio... The other night she was sitting in the bathtub and all you could hear is "BABY YOUR A FIRE WORK... SHOOTING ACROSSED THE SKY-Y-Y-Y" from Katy Perry. She has so much personality it is crazy and she is so smart. I am blessed to have such a wonderful Daughter.

         Some other big news in the Life of Marika... I am ENGAGED.. Yes that is right, you don't have to rub your eyes or pinch yourself to see if you are dreaming. I didn't stutter or mistype... Kody and I got engaged over Memorial weekend while camping at Strawberry. Three days of no make-up, no shower, and no clue from my part. I had just started the campfire when Audree came and asked me "Mom, will you marry Kody?" Not thinking anything about it really, I said "Sure I would." Next thing I know Kody is down on on e knee... The first words out of my mouth were "Seriously? Camping?!" Ok so it wasn't my greatest speech ever, but I was definitely caught off guard!

        The big day is October 11, 2012.  10/11/12. Clever I know. With both of our birthdays on a 11, we might as well keep the theme. 90 days from now. I have things nailed down for the most part. We are getting married at the Garden's at Dry Creek in Lehi. Its a pretty out door place with lots of ponds and cute gardens. Hopefully the weather will hold.  My dress is amazing, its beautiful and fits perfect, however I can not post any pictures yet due to Kody not being able to see the dress til the day of :).  There is still so much left to do, but I am not worried that I will have it all completed in 3 months!

    Well there are the updates from my life for now.. I will try to be better at typing more often.

Much love!
