Sometimes

Every now and then I go back and look over our engagement photos.  I just really love them so much!  Even the ones I rarely show people.  I just really love him.  I love seeing us together.  I love laughing and smiling together and being wrapped in his arms.  All in all.  I just really, really love him!

I am so lucky and SO blessed.

The Wonderful and Amazing Caitlin Sheffer!

Sorry, I know it's been a while since I've posted!  Life is crazy, as usual.  But that really shouldn't be an excuse.  I was doing so well too, haha :)

Well anyway, I need to finish up the details of my last Utah trip.

These ones don't exactly have to do with my darling fiance, but they do involve the amazing photographer who shot my favorite pictures (Dom & my engagements) and will be traveling to the wedding!

Before I get into too many fun details, I'd love to share a little something about Caitlin Sheffer.  Cate is so sweet!  She is darling and cute and all the things you would love in a person, and in a photographer.  She is so in love with what she does, and loves to meet people in love.  My favorite part about my engagement session is how giddy Cate was as she took the pictures.  Every now and then she'd look down at her camera, review a picture she shot and squeal because she loved it so much.  Seriously, no one is better than this girl.  Dom and I felt so comfortable with her.  Nothing was awkward and she had wonderful ideas.

So anyway, while I was out in Utah, I met up with Cate to help her with a styled shoot she was planning.  Her concept was Aphrodite & the Golden Apple, of which details you can read more about here, because Cate explains it worlds better than I do.

I can only speak for myself, but the time I spent with her that day was incredibly fun.  I loved spending time with her, she's seriously, such a doll.  Cate has an incredibly creative mind and makes you feel right at home.  I'm sure I could talk with her for hours.  I'm so excited to see her in June!

The Last Time

So I realize, I'm only good at blogging when Dom is around, or when I'm around him I suppose.  Life is just so much more exciting and enjoyable when he is close.

But anyway! I'm back to post about my weekend.  Last night I got home from visiting my sweetheart for the last time.  Can you believe it?!  The LAST TIME.  I will never have to fly out of state or drive hundreds of miles to see him ever again!  The thought of it is so unreal.  We've spent so long apart that I can't believe it has finally come to an end.  But it has! It really, really has!

Flying out to see him was wonderful.  It always is.  Especially when it lines up with General Conference.  Although the weekend is exhausting and busy.  I love getting to spend those hours with him growing closer together through the Lord.

We woke up early Saturday morning, put on our Sunday best, and headed off to Salt Lake City to hear the Lord's Anointed speak.  Darling Dom picked me up right around 8AM and we headed out!  Well, with a little stop at target along the way.  I guess the problem with last minute packing is that you forget things.  Lots of things.  Like shirts!  Oh well, it all worked out.

Well - Lucky us, we got to sleep in a little more this year than usual because we already had tickets for Saturday AM.  Rather than waiting out and holding up signs trying to look cute and ticket-worthy, we got there, parked our car and walked the short distance from the parking structure to temple square.  On the way one of the greatest things happened!  A photographer snapped our picture mid-stride!  Ok, you need the story now:

Once upon a time, in a place far far away (Salt Lake), there existed General Conference.  The bi-annual event was always littered with reporters, photographers, journalists - you name it!  And little Megan Mc always wanted to be a part of the action!  She hoped so badly someone would take her picture or ask her for an interview.  Why?  She didn't really understand...but she did know she wanted it!  She wanted the potential to be in or on the Ensign Magazine.

Ah-hem.  I can now proudly say . . . my picture was taken!  Well, it was our picture.  And the best part about it?  I made a conscious decision that day to not seek after the photographers.  CHA-CHING!

Anyway! Enough with my silly nonsense. We got into the first session, which was amazing and decided to sit the second one out.  We made plans to have our lunch pic-nic style on one of the grassy areas in Temple Square and listen to the Conference.

All in all, it was quite nice.
So much more happened that weekend.  But it's really mostly silly things that darling dearest and I did.  So I'll spare you the boring stories.

Oh man.  I never thought I'd say it, but I'm going to miss the trips to visit each other.  I'm definitely going to miss Utah.  At first I never thought I'd like it.  But that state has become pretty dear to me.  Not to mention that it is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been.

Now of course I saved the best for last.  We took tons of pictures last year.  And we tried our best this time! Buuuut . . . They just didn't turn out as good.  I think we were too busy being in love this time to worry about being cute! Hah :)

Love. Love. LOVE.

Doesn't this picture just scream Fire Breathing Dragon?!
