I'm getting married in 15 days!!! WHAT?!?!?! Hey oh!!! I can't wait!
I just spent a week at Bear Lake with Landen and his family. This includes his grandparents, aunts and uncles, and his cousins which is about a total of 30 I believe. It started off kind of rough, but as we went on throughout the week I ignored the annoying things and just had fun. The first day each family chips in to pay for renting a boat. We took the Tsunami's out to drag behind the boat. (It's like a tube without the middle and you have like 8 handle bars you hand on to, it is extremely intense and tons of fun!) Anyway, I definitely gained a lot of muscle from that and the first day the only time I would fall off was when the boat stopped and I forgot to sit back on it so the water wouldn't get on top and start to sink it... It was a lot of fun!! Then Landen's family loves to jet ski. So, they rent a jet ski everyday for the family to use. It was my first time on a jet ski and I was a little nervous at first. Landen is a crazy driver!! I'm pretty sure at one point I got whiplash. I was freaking out a bit so I ended up driving it. OH MY GOSH it is SOOOO fun!! I now understand why he drove the way he did!! SO GREAT!! I loved it! Once I figured it all out I was ok with everything! The next day each family got a jet ski and so we all got to ride again and we had a ton of fun. We fell off it once and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, however, I now have a huge bruise on my leg and I have no idea what I hit when we were falling. I do know that it was during that fall though because before I fell off my leg was fine as soon as I was swimming to get back on I was... not so fine. haha. (Oh by the way... I got a sunburn on the first day... I even had sunscreen on... So from then on I wore a baseball hat, sunglasses, and put sunscreen on AT LEAST twice a day- I am not going to be peeling at the wedding!!) Anyway, the third and last day we rode the boat again and this time it was bit more intense then the first time! Our driver (Landen's uncle, Brad) decided that it was a good day to do sharp turns and go in more circles then before. So we are all holding on legs flying all over the place. There were a few times my legs were in the water but I was able to pull myself back on. We had the ropes cross at one point and almost gave me and his cousin nicole some bad rope burn (She definitely got it worse I was able to only have it rub for about a second). We fell off a couple times and there was one point my knee got stuck in a position and now it's a little bruised. Oh well though, it was all worth it!! I had such a great time and I am SO glad that this is something we do in the Kidd family EVERY YEAR!!! (No joke, Bear Lake is extremely important to everyone and you have to go or you are not part of the family, haha) It's the best and I can't wait until next year! (Landen and I will also be married by that point so we'll be able to be in the same room and no one can say anything!) Anyway, I had a great week and now I am excited to continue on with reality and get back to the busy-ness of life! :)
This coming week will be a pretty busy one! Sunday I head back to Idaho and Monday at 9am I get to do a walk through for our APARTMENT!!! and then I'll start moving everything in that I have! Then Tuesday I am supposed to go with my Grandma and Mom to go get some temple items! Wednesday I am headed to Utah for Sydney's reception and I'll spend the night at her parents because the next day is Stephanie's (Landen's cousin's) wedding and then I will be in Logan until Sunday when I will get my temple recommend and then head back to Idaho until the 19th.. Quick run through of that week.. crazy!! Sean, Andrea, and Owen will get to Idaho on Wednesday morning most likely and that day will hopefully be bridals and hair run throughs and what not along with a Mattson Family Dinner!! YA! Then Thursday I go through the temple!!! and Friday we head to Logan and set up the reception and Saturday I'm getting married at 9:15 am! Hey hey! So ya! These next two weeks are going to be a little busy, but they will be a ton of fun and very exciting!! I can't wait!!!
