I have a pretty little ring on my left hand!! :)

Adam proposed!!!! Yay!!! I can't believe it! It was such a surprise!!! I have the condensed version on Facebook and a bunch of pictures on there but if you don't have Facebook I'll put some pictures up on here as well! Ü Here's the whole story...

On Friday, June 26th, our day started out with going to meet with a photographer, to see if she would take pictures at the wedding. (If you didn't know, we knew we were getting married he just hadn't proposed yet. Haha.)

Anyway...after that we went to Antelope Island to have some fun in the sun and to see if we could find the geocache that we couldn't find last time we were there in March. Geocaching involves finding coordinates that the website gives you and it should lead you to a geocache box. We have never been very successful in our geocaching adventures.

Well before that we decided to have some lunch up at their little grill and we had buffalo burgers. They were so delicious!! We learned that they get their buffalo from Wyoming and not off the island and they don't use buffalo cheese! ;)



















Then we went to t
he beach and walked all the way out to the lake. I was very surprised that the lake was so low. It was kind of a long trip but we did it! Ü It was fun minus all the brine flies and shrimp. Yuck!

These writings were done on the way out to the lake.





This one is Adam's.











This is mine!











After our little hike we decided to go back to where the supposed geocache was used to be. It is just this giant rock formation that has a bunch of little cave like things. Adam is a much better climber than I am so he said he was going to go over to another area while I went another way. After a while, Adam met up with me and we started walking toward where he had been and he was looking through a hole in the rock and said "I think this goes all the way through. Let's go check out the other side." So we did and when he got over there he had found something which happened to be a geocaching box. I was so excited because we had actually found one!!!!

He handed it to me and said "wait let's take pictures of it before you open it." After that, I opened it and there was a keychain exactly like one I had bought him in San Francisco. I thought it was just a wacky coincidence. Haha. The next thing I grabbed out was a speaker that you put in to a handheld CD player so it plays out loud. I didn't know what it was at the time so I was a little confused and then I pulled out the CD player. Adam explained about the speaker but apparently it didn't work. When I picked up the CD player there was a picture of us! It was then that I started to catch on to what was going on. Apparently the ring box that was in there wasn't enough. I asked him when he did this and he said just now. He had been carrying it around in his Camelback BAG. Ü

He told me to open the ring box and so I did. In the box was a piece of paper that said TURN AROUND.
And when I did he was down on one knee and holding the ring and asked me if I would marry him!! Ü I screamed and then started crying and said YES! I was so excited! I couldn't stop screaming and jumping up and down. It was wonderful! I loved it so much!! He did it perfectly!! I would have never guessed that he was going to do it then!!!






This is the ring! It is beautiful and I love it! I can't stop staring at it all the time!! He did a really good job! It is exactly what I wanted! Ü
AHHHH!!!! WE ARE ENGAGED!!!! WOOO!!!!

Busy, busy world!

These past couple weeks have been nothing but crazy!! I can't even beginning to name all the stuff that has been happening! There has been hanging out with Adam, broken computer, babies being born, family stuff, conversion happenings, deaths, work, and wedding plans!!! Holy cow! I don't even know if I have enough room for all of my stories for the past month or so!!

Most of all I just want to say RIP Ben. You were a great guy and always kept us on our toes! I sure can't wait to see you again!! :) You will be missed here on earth though! You always brought light into my day and could always make me smile!

I hope everyone is enjoying the summer now that it is starting to get warmer outside and not raining everyday!!! Sigh! I hope to enjoy some sunshine soon! Adam and I are meeting with a photographer tomorrow and going to Antelope Island to hang out for a little bit! Ü

I will get some pictures up soon once I get my computer back (it's been in the shop for two weeks!). Have a great weekend!!

Nothing like summertime!

Can I just say how much I love the summer!?!?! Well if your answer was no, I'm sorry, but I love the summer!! It is nice to not have classes for a couple months! I am still waiting on some of my grades but the ones I have gotten are great! I am very pleased with them!

Anyway...so far this summer I have been working a couple days a week as usual! Our floor has been super slow! It is not normal for us! We usually are slow for a day or two and then fill the rooms right back out. So I got called off today! It was pretty nice!

I've also been spending a lot of time with Tanya. It has be great! :) She took me for a visit to the Salt Lake Temple. I have only been once for Christmas lights but never really explored too much or had a reason to visit. But as of lately, I have been doing some learning and research on the LDS religion. More to come on that later. :) I am glad that Tanya has been such a great friend and has been very helpful on my journey. In June, we are planning on visiting the Oquirrh Mountain Temple! I can't wait.










This is us and Ella at the temple! Ella is the little girl that Tanya nannies. She is such a cutie and we had a blast!



























Also, Adam and I got
back together! :) Kind of a crazy story but it's great and we work so well together. He is wonderful and I am so glad to have him in my life. He has been a big inspiration to me! I have been spending a lot of time with him at the hospital, which is pretty fun! Now he just needs to get better and break out of there! :)

This past weekend was pretty fun as well. On Saturday, I walked in the Cystic Fibrosis walk. If you don't know what cystic fibrosis is, you should check out this website...
http://www.cff.org/
This is what I work with at the hospital. The walk was held at Wheeler Farm in Salt Lake. I had never been there before and I have to say that it is a fun place. It was also a very beautiful day! I was so happy with the turn out of people and the people who I work with that came to support CF. It was awesome! :)

After the walk, I went to see Adam and hung out with him for a bit. Then, I went to Adam's sister in law's baby shower! That was a lot of fun! His mom did a great job putting it together! So many fun games and food!

Then, I met up with Kristina, she is another good friend of mine and we had dinner to catch up some! Overall, it was an great and fulfilling day!

Well I think that is it for now! Have a great week everyone!

Finals!

Finals are finally here! Yay! It is about time! I am so ready for this semester to be over and to have a break from school. I am not taking any classes this summer. I wish they offered the classes I need to take for my emphasis because I would take them so I can finish sooner. But oh well! What can you do. I am hoping I will finish by next year. I need to find a place to do my small internship at. It hasn't been an easy process.

I am ready for the summer and some good times. Unfortunately, Adam and I are no longer together and this might be a rough start for my summer. But it'll be okay in the long run.

Life is just a crazy roller coaster and I am along for the ride. Hope everyone is having a good weekend so far.

Easter Eggs!!


This is what Adam, minus the ducky, gave me for Easter. We named the duck, Thatcher and the bunny is Floppsy. :) I got the duck for him and put it in a basket with Robin Hood, the movie! And he got me the bunny and a bunch of candy and SPRINKLES! :) I love sprinkles! Now we have to find something new to make with the sprinkles!












So my favorite part of Easter, besides the fact that it the Christ's resurrection, is coloring eggs! I just absolutely love it. I don't really know why. I think it is so much fun though!






This is Adam! He didn't want to mess up his shirt so he wore a bib and struck his classic pose! :) He is so adorable!

Well my wonderful boyfriend and I had bought some coloring a while ago and didn't get to coloring eggs before Easter. But we did it right after Easter! Better late than never! :) We had such a good time with it!

We didn't have a whole lot of time to be creative with it because we had decided to go to a movie.





















We saw Monsters vs. Aliens in 3D! It was such a cute movie!! I loved all the big celebrities that were in it especially Hugh Laurie! (If you don't know, I absolutely love the show House and Hugh Laurie plays House).



Anyway...after the movie was over, Adam wanted to play in the little arcade that the theater has. It was a blast!! I felt like a little kid and it was awesome! We were there til at least 1:00 am if not later!! And I had to work in the morning. I wouldn't have changed it for the world! One of our next adventures will hopefully be going to an actually arcade! :)

I hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend and enjoyed the spring weather!!!

Happy Easter!!!!
I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter and got a lot of yummy goodies in their Easter baskets!! I am at work today and we had a very delicious pot luck! And now we are just goofing off while looking at silly pictures. I am glad that it is a slow day today!
Anyway..so last night I went to Adam's friends house for the birthday party! We played Bunko! It was the first time I have ever played but it wasn't too hard to catch on after a while! I really enjoyed meeting Adam's friends and getting to know him a little better! It was a blast!!
Happy Easter again! :)

Love is in the air!

IT'S OFFICIAL!!!! :)




Yay!!! I am just excited and had to share!! Adam asked me to be his girlfriend on Thursday night!! :D I am so happy! I can't even explain the feelings I have!!



We had a picnic yesterday and surprisingly the weather stayed nice for us! It was a lot of fun and then we went and watched Robin Hood! Did you know that Little John and Baloo from the Jungle Book do the same dance!?!?! (Courtesy of Adam!)




We decided to match! Sort of! We are kind of dorks like that! But it is always fun! It was especially fun trying to pick clothes that matched and having his dad help us the night before.
The last time we matched was a couple of weekends ago and we went to his friends house for a yummy dinner!! :)

I can't believe tomorrow is Easter!! Yay for being able to drink coffee!! I made it the 40 days without drinking it with the exception of when I went to San Francisco. That was just for safety purposes so I could stay awake while driving! I have to work tomorrow which kind of sucks but I will probably go to my mom's house on Monday to hang out and have Easter dinner there.


I also got to spend some time with some coworkers last night! It was a blast! I went and played Bingo with Skyler and he friends and then met up with Emily for EMIPALOOZA!!! :)

Well I am supposed to go to Adam's friends birthday party tonight! It should be fun! I'll try and keep this updated as much as possible! Have a Happy Easter!!!
