28 days and counting

Time to update the blog again. So far, I am doing better with this one than my personal. Let's just hope I keep it up.
The days are going by, sometimes not quickly enough, as we get closer to the wedding day. There was a slight hiccup in the announcement sending process and we are still looking for about 20 envelopes that went out sans announcements. If you are one of the lucky people you win … you guessed it! A wedding announcement. Ha ha. I am glad I can laugh about this now. Please let us know if you did not get yours – we would love to see you on May 8.
I will be going to Sacramento tomorrow with my mom to pick up my temple dress. Woo hoo! We have also been asked to speak in sacrament meeting in the singles ward on April 18. We will also be teaching Sunday school that day, so if you would like tickets for the Sarah and Dave show … ;-)
Work continues to be crazy for me. I feel lucky to be where I am but some days the hours are longer than what I would prefer. Isn't that just how everyone feels though? However, I may be getting a more orthopedically pleasing desk chair in the next week! Ah, the little things.
We were able to catch a session of General Conference together … on the television this time. No crazy weekend road trips this time. It is also a little unfortunate that Dave and his uncle Mike didn't get in their inaugural conference weekend wakeboarding run. Those guys will be out on the lake before we know it, I'm sure.
David is working full-time on finding a job. We were so happy when the Census people called him back the other day and offered him some part time work. I am so blessed to be marrying such a hard working and diligent man.
We also move into our apartment in exactly one week! And by us, I mean David. :) We got a great deal and were very blessed to find the place we did. When Dave went to look, they said they had one place available that had just been remodeled. We are talking new everything, plus they were running a special. We signed the papers and got excited about our new place. Well, I guess that the woman who helped us was unaware that the brand new apartment wasn't included in the special pricing. However, when the landlady is away, the hired help will play. This wonderful woman went to bat for us and we are paying much less than we would have been. Thanks!
According to the local police departments, crime in the area is miniscule and it is much closer to Sparks, which is where I need to be. I cannot wait for the 10-minute commute to work!
