Well I am getting married in a little less than two weeks and I am more than ready. I have had three bridals showers and I was spoiled rotten! At the shower for my side of the family my sisters made me where a crown and a ribbon, as shown above. I'm having a blast. Sorry I haven't blogged lately. Life is busy. I'm sure this will be my last post for quite a while. So I hope to see you all at my wedding! Chow! :)

Last Call for addresses

Well only a month left until the wedding. I can't wait! I think we have almost everything done. We got all the invitations put together last night and thanks to Ryan's mom we got about 98% of the addresses too, but there are a few more I need. If I haven't asked for your address or if your not sure if I have it email me. daniellemark@mail.weber.edu. Things are moving along fairly smoothly. My first shower is on saturday from 11-1 at my parents house. If anyone wants to come feel free :) I'm getting my bridals taken on wednesday and all I have left to do after that is put a couple CD's together for dancing afterwards. I'm very anxious and excited. A few of the girls I work with keep telling me how awful showers are but I'm excited. I love my family and what better excuse to get together. Can't wait to see everyone, pictures to come!

Still Here

Hey everyone. I'm still here, just trying to finish finals and then I'll do an update. Plannig a wedding is time consuming especially working and going to school full time. Anyway there's lots of life going on around here :)

New Niece, New Nephew, New Job WooHoo!

Well a lot of life has been going on around here! On Feb. 19 Mandy had precious little Hallie Jo Vance. She has a ton of hair and weighed 7lbs 8oz at birth. She is doing wonderful and is an amazing addition to the family. Last night Ryan and I were blessed with a new nephew. Rowdy Douglass Butler, he weighed 5lbs, 15oz, he was born 4 weeks early but is doing well and was not sent to the NICU. Cassee is doing good too. Me and Ry are excited to get to spoil a two more kids rotten !!! I also got a new job, I will be working over in same day surgery at McKay. I'll stay on the surgical floor as well. I'm excited. Change is good. Life is good. Hope everyone out there in cyberspace is as happy as I am. Oh, and if you're planning on spending anytime in the recovery room I'll see ya there. Peace out :)

Sweet Love

There is nothing sweeter than being in love! Everything seems to be falling in place for me and Ry. I found my dress! I'm not posting details, Ryan can't know a thing. If you want to see it , guess you'll just have to come to the wedding :)! We found HOUSE! It's teeny, tiny, but I've never been more excited for anything in my life. It's in Plain City, and its adorable. I'm already excited to plant flowers and trying my hand at gardening. It's ours starting March 1st. Ryan and I had the best Valentines yet. Seeing as how we are about to enter the real world, we didn't want to spend too much. So I decided we would stay in, and I surprised him with a candle lit dinner. It was great. I love to cook! I set it all up in a spare bedroom, with candles and music, the whole shebang. When he got to my house, he came in the kitchen with a dozen beautiful roses. I turned to him and apologized for not having something more special for him. Then as the food got done I asked him to go out to the car and grab my camera. When he went outside I shifted gears and hustled all the food up to our little make believe get away. I had the music playing softly, and all the lights off, except for the candles burning. When he came back in I took him by the hand and led him to our table. It was so romantic, just me and him . No back ground noise, or waiting to be seated, it was perfect. Then we finished the night visiting with Mandy and Nick and stuffing our faces with cookies and ice cream. Life is so good! Oh and we set a date. June 26, 2009. Don't miss it!

Addresses Please!

Well the wedding plans are coming along. I know it's a little early for addresses, but I take after my sister Lacy. I want to do everything I can now so I don't have to worry about it later. So please e-mail me your address: daniellemark@mail.weber.edu. If you are family don't worry about it I probably already have it, but for all you newly weds, or those of you I know who move once a month :) please make sure and e-mail me. It will make my life much easier! Thanks. Oh and we are getting married on June 12, hopefully, so save the date!!

To the man I love! (a little late)

Ryan turned 22 years old on Monday. Happy Birthday baby! We're getting married :) I hope you had a wonderful birthday and I hope you know how much I love you. You are more than I ever hoped to find in a companion and I can't wait to start our new life together. Here's to another eighty birthdays, ( yeah that means you'll be one hundred and two!) Love ya!
