THE COUNTDOWN CHAIN!

So we had a little announcement mishap. The announcement that you will be recieving is from our second attempt. The first one did not turn out well... enough said. As you can imagine, those 500 announcements are taking up valuable space in the computer room; therefore, they needed a new home. So, although they were not worthy of sending, they for sure made the COOLEST countdown chain ever! In case you were wondering there are ONLY 19 links!!!

Wedding Announcements!!!

We would love to be able to send you a wedding announcement. If you would like to receive one please send your address to j.hrncirik@gmail.com The reception will be in Bountiful on the evening of the 3rd and we hope to see you all there!

6 WEEK COUNTDOWN!

We're excited that it's coming so quickly but I feel like there is still so much to do and, with school having started last week, not a lot of time. We just took engagement pictures last Wednesday and you can see a sample picture to the right. It's one of my favorites but not the one we chose for the announcement. You'll have to wait and see it when you get it in the mail.

Art City Citizens

Unlike most couples in Provo, we found searching for a house to be easy. We ended up getting the first place we looked at!... that was after going to one more place and an hour debate so that Jimmy could be sure we were getting a deal. It's a very cute two bedroom house in Springville. It has a cute little yard, two car garage, full basement (come on over visitors!) and great neighbors. We spent hours working on the yard with Jimmy's parents yesterday. They were kind enough to bring down ALL of the equipment and clean up the yard Newton style. Thanks Mom and Dad Newton!! Jimmy will live there until after the wedding in October. And yes, these pictures were taken before the Saturday clean-up.

Update...

Wedding plans are coming along great! The oficial date is October 3rd. It's been a wonderful weekend picking out invitations, finding a place to live, registering for gifts, and practicing our wedding hair-dos. We have many requests for a picture of us and this picture is a top ten favorite.

We're getting MARRIED!!

Some of you have been hearing about it for a while...for some of you this is a huge shock... but it's official, we're getting married! After several weeks of anticipation (which I did not endure patiently, I might add) Jimmy proposed on July 19th! It was so beautiful and I couldn't have planned it better myself! It started in the morning when he brought me breakfast from our favorite breakfast joint, Shirley's. He asked me if I had plans at 11:45 and when I said I was free, he let me know he had booked me an appointment for a massage at Sundance Spa. I found out later that it was just to get rid of me so he could prepare, but that's fine with me. Meanwhile, he was scoping out the perfect location for the proposal. After the massage we went our separate ways to do some chores. When we got back together there was just a note on his door, telling me to go to his desk. When I got there there was a note telling me to go to the school....I think you know where this is going. I also went to Wilson Diamond, where he bought the ring, and to Goodwood, where we had our first date. At each location he had left me a rose, a note and pictures of us. He was at the last location with dinner to go. We got in the car and headed up the canyon. After a bit of off-roading he parked the car and we started off on a little hike. For those of you who are familiar with this area, we were on a trail that was above Squaw Peak and overlooked the valley. Our destination was a mountain top and I was wondering why he had no blanket or anything for me to sit on (I was wearing a white skirt). As we rounded around to the top of the mountatin I saw a beautiful table with chairs (Thanks, Jimmy!), candles, roses, even a table cloth. The only sad part is that we didn't take a picture right at that the moment we got up there...it looked so perfect! But this pictures was taken after we were finished eating. As we were cleaning up he played a song from his phone and started dancing with me. When the song was finished he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. Even though I was bawling I was able to get out a "yes." A big "Thanks!" to his sister Ann and her Husband Keith for helping set up and making the evening so perfect!
