Hey baby, I think I wanna MARRY YOU <3
That's right friends and family, Kevin and I are just one week shy of our BIG DAY! We could not be happier as we prepare to start this new chapter of our lives together and are so excited for all of you who have supported us along the way and who will get to share our day with us.
I cannot believe it has almost been a whole month since I have last posted. I guess with the new job and wedding plans things have been a little crazy!
I figured the best way to catch everyone up on Kevin & Kyla is by photos!
(Everyone knows how much I love my pictures)
So here it is... The last month according to US in photos.
First of all (No picture included for this one actually)
I started a new Job on February 28th and I am so in love with it. I work for a company called Myler Disability in American Fork. I am a legal assistant for the law firm and get to talk to clients all day! I even have my very own little cubical! The hours and location is PERFECT. Monday thru Friday and right across the street from Kevin's office. I feel so blessed to have found something so perfect!
Last month we posted a blog saying how excited we were about the couches we found, well it turns out they didn't fit in the living room the way we wanted so we had to actually turn right back around and sell them! At least we made a little profit ;) So for now our living room remains open with just the TV and Popson. Some day we will find just the perfect couch!
Mr. Ford and I spent a lovely Valentines Day together. We had dinner at Jo's Crab shack (my first time eating crab) and then had a romantic adventure to the Ice Castle's in Midway Utah. Such a fun night. Kevin got me a LITE BRITE. I am so spoiled. Overall it was the best Valentine's Day ever!

| Two very dear friends @ the Sacramento Bridal Shower. |
On February 18th I went home to Sacramento for my bridal shower! It was so wonderful to spend the weekend with my family and see all of the lovely ladies who came to my shower! I am so blessed to have so many women in my life who supported me! Thanks to the special ladies who helped put the special event together! It was a huge success!
While in Sacramento I also put together all of our wedding announcements! They turned out perfect!
My sister Aubrey also hosted a lovely Bridal Shower for me in Utah the following week. It was such a wonderful shower also. It was so great because some of Kevin's family members came that I had never met. The shower was held at our apartment in American Fork and was totally full with all the ladies in folding chairs around my entire living room! I am so greatful to everyone who came to the Utah shower and even to those who had to drive hours to spend the evening with me!! Luckily everyone traveling made it out of town before the snow storm came!! (see picture below!)

We had a big random SNOW STORM one evening here in American Fork and we got a good 5 inches of fresh snow! It was so pretty and only lasted a day (which is my favorite type of snow!)

The last few weeks I have been cooking a lot. I love having my own kitchen and fridge and it is so fun to be able to come home from work and prepare a nice meal for Kevin and I. Kevin had to drive me to work the first two weeks because my car was still in the shop, so I thought I even cooked breakfast a few mornings for him when he got here! I love cooking and look forward to getting new recipes and cooking lots of meals for the two of us.
Check out some of the great dishes I made!

| Jessica & Colin Kilgore. March 5th, 2011 |
On March 5th my cousin Jessica Goold was married in the Salt Lake temple. She and her new HUSBAND Colin looked absolutely amazing on their big day and we were so blessed to be able to attend their sealing. Kevin & I are so happy for the two of them and love them so much! They threw a pretty great party in Bountiful that evening to celebrate their new marriage! So fun.
My parents were in town that weekend also for Jessica's wedding and it was so great to see them!
FINALLY.... I got GLORIA (my car) back this week! She broke down back in November and has been sitting in the shop for MONTHS. Thank goodness for TAX returns and good mechanics! Gloria passed smog and is running great now and has officially become a Utah Resident. Its so nice to have my car back! One less thing to be worrying about!
Well I think that just about brings us up to date everyone! I hope you enjoyed the photos!
We are so anxious for the next seven days and have lots planned between now and next Friday in preparation of our special day!
I promise to be better at updating the blog :) (well I might slack off for the next week or so.. ya know, wedding.. honeymoon....NEWLYWEDS. ha. I will try to get a post in there somewhere!)
Thanks for Reading!!
