Marriage Is What Brings Us Together...: Shelly: We booked the venue!

So, my mom came out this weekend and we spent the whole time doing a lot of wedding activities. On Thursday, she got in and Keaton and I picked her up. We went and got dinner at PF Changs! Yum. After dinner, I decided that I wanted to show my mom around Little America and Grand America. She loved them both! We walked around and looked at the rooms at the Grand America and she was freaking out the whole time. It was a good evening. The next morning, my mom and I went on a power walk around Provo, looking at some good options for married housing and some good areas to live. Afterwards, we went to Wilson Diamonds to pick up my paycheck and for her to meet my work family. Then, we drove to Salt Lake! We got up there, checked into the hotel, and ran into Keaton's parents. It was their first time meeting my mom and I was so nervous! We got up to the room, got settled, and then headed over to the Grand America with Lisa. Keaton met us over there and then we met with our wedding coordinator, Nicole! She showed us around the rooms, and we picked one! It was definitely our favorite and it's extremely extravagant! We booked the venue! We went out to a lovely dinner with the Jolleys and we were able to have some good bonding time afterwards.
The next morning we woke up early and Lisa, my mom, and I all went dress shopping. We went to two different places and it was great to get more ideas and have such valuable opinions on each dress! I now know what I want more, and want to do a custom dress. We got back and were able to hang out more with Keaton's parents. I love his family so much and I cannot wait to be a part of it.
Sunday was a complete day of relaxation and then my mom left Monday morning. I dropped off the contract to the Grand America on the way home and it's all set.
