Okay so i just spent 25 minutes working on my blog and then it stopped working...i'll post another day...so sorry!!!

Some Engagement photos

So most of these we look rather goofy.... but you might enjoy a few of these!

PS less than 4 weeks!

David and I hiking the Y. My new goal is to be able to run it....i'm still working on that but i'm gonna try this week again and see where i can get to! Speaking of running our besties Em and Chuck ran a half marathon a few weeks ago! it was bitter cold and snowing/raining but they did a great job and i'm totallly impressed. The last one is David and i on a Sunday walk up the Rock Canyon. Really cool!

Exciting news!

Well aside from the fact that i'm getting married in 5 weeks exactly! i'm going through the temple in two weeks too! totally awesome! David's ring came in today...only took me forever to order it but it's really cool and i'm excited, yet again! I haven't blogged in a while and i'll update with some more recent pictures soon!

Things not to do after the dentist

So there i was... i had just had two fillings done at the dentist and sitting at my kitchen table. I want to try eat something before i had to go to campus. So i did eat something and it went pretty well...until i got a craving for hot chocolate! So i made some and tested it with my finger and thought it would be just fine. Well, i was wrong. Since my whole upper lip was numb i couldn't feel the scorching hotness until the hot chocolate was in my mouth. Then i did the this-is-too-hot-but-can't-spit-it-out thing and basically boiled my tongue! it hurt! This was last tuesday and it is still hurting!!! I'm a dork but i thought i'd warn you all :)

Prepare yourself

ha ha i know what you are all thinking!!!! i look crazy weird....well for me anyway! i don't know what happened to my baggy eye on that last picture.

My roommate Allyn is a costume design major and needed some models for her to do some make up on....so i did. i've never worn so much make up and hair spray in my life! mostly i posted this for aimee and mom so they die with laughter. I'll hit an all time record this year! two girly days...this day and my wedding-all day in a flippin' dress and i've got to mentally prepare myself! don't worry i'll probably have some sweet nike's or vans (sorry monica, no heels) so i won't be entirely a stranger. Anyway, enjoy because i'm pretty sure you'll never see this again.

Engagement Story

Okay i realize that i haven't posted about david proposing so here it goes!!!

So there we were.....ha ha jk. Okay so we had been planning to go snowmobiling up Heber with david's brother and sister-in-law who live up there so we did! It was david's first time and my 2nd riding a snowmobile. It was awesome and beautiful and so much snow and gorgeous scenery! When we were approaching a really high hill david's bro told us to head to the top while he grabbed his buddy behind us...i thought "that's weird his friend is right there" but didn't think much of it.

When we got to the top david turned off the machine and asked me to pull the camera out that was hooked to his belt, so i did. He got off and i tried turning the camera on because the view was amazing!!! you could see the back of timp a ways off and then just mountains forever it seemed. While trying to turn the camera on he said "what's that?" a few times and i didn't know what he was pointing to..."what's what?" looking around the machine. Finally, i saw the ring hanging from the wrist strap attached to the camera and i think i said "oh" and realized he was down on one knee. He asked me to marry him...although because our faces were so cold, and i assume he was slightly nervous the words were a little harder to get out. Of course i said "Yes!" and then i forgot to take my goggles off when he kissed me so i had to laugh.

We then just waited for his brother and others to join us and they took some pictures, which is why i was slow to post them (salem ha ha). Two funny things: 1st a large of snowmobilers joined us on top of the hill just right around the time he asked me. pretty funny! 2nd i had written in my journal a few days earlier that i hoped and thought he would propose that weekend while we were up there. But i was totally surprised! i decided not to plan on it and i kinda got excited that morning because we went snow shoeing and he had stuff in his pockets...false alarm. There you have it our wonderful awesome story! It was perfect.

I have so much to be grateful for and i hope and pray that i can somehow become like my mom and my grandma's in my own family; always patient, always kind, constantly serving, frugal and eventually one day a dern good cook!! How ended up with all i have i don't know...but i'm not complaining :)
