Easter!!

Easter comments
Happy Easter yesterday!! I hope everyone 
had a wonderful day! 
The whole entire Easter weekend was 
amazing for me! Here is a little run down.

Friday involved this:



Breakfast with Emily, Amy, and Dominic. It was part of Emipalooza (this is a series of things Emily does for her birthday so if you can't make it to one then it is likely you can make it to something). We went to the Park Cafe and it was delicious! 


Then I hung out with my P.I.C. That was fun as usual! =)

Saturday looked like this:





This is what happens when your parents tell a story of how this happened to another child a few nights before and with the exact color of dye! It was funny!



We colored Easter eggs with our neighbors! It was a lot of fun! They were really creative with their eggs. After that we hid eggs in the backyard for the kids to find and then had an egg roll! That was definitely a good day! 
Later that night, Adam and I went to Clinton and saw our cousin's Cari and Paul. Cari was having a graduation party! There was good food, good people, and good games! We had a blast. We even made some new friends! Other cousins were there as well! 

Sunday was Easter! It went like this:

Church 

Nap

Adam's parents house for dinner 

then,




Geocacheing! 
We went with Adam's brother, Curtis. It was awesome and a little chilly! We did find both of the geocaches we were looking for! 

Then, we went back to the house and Adam was teaching me how to play the piano. I've always wanted to learn and it is pretty fun so far. I hope to learn more. =)

Happenings as of lately

The past little while has just been nuts in the Soderborg household! We just got back from a three night stay in lovely Ogden! =) I got to spend three days with my cats! I loved every minute of it! It was so nice to spend some quality time with my husband as well! We went up on Tuesday night and most of the time was spent relaxing on Wednesday, finding out that the Utes are going to be a part of the Pac 10 and going to Farr's Ice Cream! It had been a long time since I'd been there and it was so delicious! I love playdough ice cream. And then Thursday we went geocacheing and found one by my high school and tried to find another one at a park but couldn't find it. Then we went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner! Man do I love their rolls! Friday, we went over to Adam's cousin Cari's house and went geocacheing with her and her husband. We were somewhat successful! We went back to Cari's house and watch a movie and played with her kitty! It was a great little trip and prepared us for our big trip next week! Wahoo! I am so excited to go on a real vacation!


Last weekend was spent doing baby stuff and mission stuff! First, Adam's cousins wife is having a baby at the beginning of July so my mother in law and fam threw her a baby shower. It was a ton of fun and I even won a prize for playing the Price is Right! After that, Adam and I babysat our neice, Adelaide! We played with her and got to put her to sleep! She is so dang cute! Today is her first birthday! I can't believe how time has flown! I remember going to Karena's baby shower and seeing Adelaide for the first time. We are celebrating her birthday tomorrow! Happy 1st birthday Adelaide! =) Sunday was Adam's other cousin's (Adam has a lot of cousins. Ha!) farewell so we drove to Ogden with the fam and listened to her and her dad talk. It was so wonderful and I am so excited for Sam! There was a little party after and they always have good food! Sam we will miss you! You will rock Germany's socks off!


Oh I also started temple prep classes. I have only done one so far but it has almost been a year since my baptism! Crazy! I can't believe it. I can't wait to be able to go through the temple and do other ordinances besides baptisms, which I enjoy. Adam and I then plan on being sealed November 6th just to keep our anniversary the same!


We've also done some geocacheing in Big Cottonwood Canyon, celebrated birthdays, hung out with the soon to be Fortuna's, went swimming with Kris, swimming with the neighbors, etc.


I am excited to see what this summer holds. Hopefully it will include warmer weather and not a whole lot more rain! I hope it has lots of adventures and friends! Hope everyone is enjoying their summer as well!

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!!!!
