Halloween!!

Is it to early to start decorating for Halloween?? I think NOT! I am just so excited this year to start decorating my little house that I have already started a bit. Zack and I went and got some decorations so we could spice up our place. I am so excited to be able to decorate the little Hopkins home this year. Zack thinks I am crazy but oh well I guess its just a girl thing right....Here is just a little sneak peek of what I have up so far.

And then there is Zack who sat on the couch while I decorated. He would help me choose where to put things. Doesnt he make a great supervisor?? I sure do love him!!!

Rascal Flatts

Back in June I heard that Rascal Flatts was coming to Salt Lake. I got so excited and asked Zack if we could get tickets because they are probably one of my favorite bands ever! So we got 4 tickets so my dad and Janel could join. However they couldnt make it so my mom and Alyssa came instead.

Justin Moore and Sara Evans preformed before Rascal Flatts came on, and they were both AMAZING!!! I have always loved Sara Evans and getting to hear her live was something I can check off the bucket list.

Even though it poured for about 10 minutes, it was still an amazing concert!!

Wedding pictures!!!!

Whoot whoot!!! We got the wedding pictures in! Here are just a few, if you wanna look at all of them you can go to www.clients.jennykphotographyanddesign.com. Jenny did such an amazing job!!! I love all of them!!

The honey moon!!

Ok so now I will tell you about the honeymoon we had... It was extremely relaxing and perfect. We spent about 4 days up at the condos in East Canyon. We did NOTHING! Well ok we did do some things, but we mostly slept. It felt great to do nothing and just be lazy. The things we did do was the alpine coaster in Park City and walked main street. I think one of my new favorite things to do is look at Art galleries. We went into almost all of the galleries in Park City and it was so much fun. We even got a free piece of art from one of the galleries because we were on our honeymoon. It was super sweet. We also spent some time in Salt lake and went to a movie. That was nothing special but still fun. Then we went to dinner at the Taggerts bar and grill which has amazing food!! It was super yummy!! After that we spent the weekend with our pals in the Unitas. Our friend Brett has a cabin and so we all got to stay there. We went four wheeling, fishing, and had a great time wrapping up our honeymoon!

Got our tickets for the coaster!!

Four Wheeling at the cabin!! We got dirty!!!

So I realized that I am probably in the top ten of worst bloggers out there. I always get excited about starting my blog and stay with it for about a week or two and then it just dies. Sorry for those of you who do read this. It’s nice to know it gets some attention sometimes.

Well the wedding plans are almost done. Kinda crazy I only have 17 days until I get to me Nicki Hopkins! How excited am I VERY!! (notice its in all caps too) :) We went to the caters last week and finalized the ice cream, bar. Can I just say I am super excited about that. Also we finally picked a place to have our luncheon. Bucca de Beppos. It will be different and nothing like the other places which will be fun. Plus its pasta who doesn’t like pasta right??

I finally got Zacks ring picked out now I just have to go and get it sized and all that jazzy stuff. Speaking of rings I should probably go and get mine cleaned before the big day. (Add that to list)

I got to go and do my bridals a couple weeks ago and that was way fun because I got my hair done and had a pre-bride moment. It was fun. One thing that I am very proud about is I ended up making my own veil! It wasn’t as hard as I thought it was, plus it made me look into the future as if my daughter would want to use it. (probably not ) but it'll still be fun to show her that I made it.

Anyway Zack and I get our keys to our townhouse this weekend and I can finally start moving some of the presents over there because my aunts shed and my bedroom are getting pretty full!

Well that about wraps up the last month. Only 17 days to go!! Whoot whoot!!

Summer!

We are so excited that summer is finally here! Now we can start playing volleyball and other outdoor games. Also we can actually start getting excited about the wedding! I was telling myself to not start counting down the days until it was as least summer! So now I am letting myself start the count down. only 63 more days, or 2 months and 2 days, however you want to count it. : ) My aunt Joy said she'll make me a paper chain once it gets down to about 40 days. Then I can start pulling the chains off. I know sounds kiddish but I am excited to be known as Mrs. Hopkins! I am so glad I found the love of my life! Whoot whoot. The best part is I get to spend eternity with him!! YES! Alright enough gushy stuff.

Wedding plans are slowly but surely coming along. We have been paying a lot of attention on where were going to be living! I think we might have found a place but I cant tell yet till its official.... sorry. And we have started the yard work for the reception! So it is all coming along!

Love
Nicki and Zack.

One year anni!

SO I know I am probably the worst blogger ever! Sorry, life just keeps getting in the way. I will do my best to keep it more up to date!

Well This past weekend Zack and celebrated our one year of dating! Whoa! one year already! Sadly I was not actually here because I was my way home from a family vacation. 9 days apart. Tell you what I'll never be doing that again!! However we did get to hang out the following day and do a little celebrating. Good thing is I still love him to pieces! I cant wait to be able to spend eternity with him!

Anyway a little update on wedding stuff. We got the temple date and time booked, my wedding dress is almost complete with alterations and everything. Got the food, colors, tuxs (almost) and invitations picked out. So things are all coming together quite smoothly. However I am only doing this once because its a little stressful I must say!

love
Nicki
