I am Engaged!

On Thursday, December 27th, 2012 Andy got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! The story begins with me coming home to Utah after a week vacation with my family. As I was on the plane approaching the gate so I could get off and see Andy! As I was approaching the gate I received a text from Andy asking for my mom and my dad's phone number. He already had my dad's number he just thought he had it wrong. Yes, he called and asked my dad's permission. After I got off the plane the  plan was to go to dinner then go see the Salt Lake Temple lights. Andy wanted to go see the lights first but I had not eaten so we went to dinner first. We sat down at dinner about 8:30 pm and he wanted to be at the temple at 9 we had dinner and surprisingly we still made it the temple right after 9. It was snowing as we were walking around the temple. After we got to the temple we walked over to a specific area he saw a bridge and took me to it and I was looking at the temple and out of the corner of my eye I saw him get on one knee and pull out a ring box and asked me to marry him. I was so surprised I didn't see it coming at all! After saying yes we walked over and I saw his brother with a camera! Andy had his brother take pictures of him proposing to me! We spent the rest of the night (well I did) on the phone with family and roommates. I have to keep looking at my finger to make sure it really happened :) I really do love Andy and everything he does! I can't wait to be sealed to him in the Logan Temple. 

Where are you Christmas?!

So with only 19 days left til Christmas let me tell you I really want to go home and spend time with my family! Yes I will miss Andy while I am home for a week but not seeing my family for 5 months is hard on me especially since I am really close to my family. These last few days I have been homesick and wish I could be home, yet I have been hiding it because it gets to the point I could start crying if I were to think about it. I am looking forward to spending time with my family and see my friends back home. I wish I could be home longer then a week but with a job I didn't want to take that much time off. I wish Christmas would come faster so I can go home and see my family! Its been hard being away from my family. You think this year it would be easier considering that is this is my second year away from home, yea its not. I think it gets harder because you feel so distant from what is going on back home. Christmas come faster so I can spend time with my family! 

My Life The Last 2 Weeks!

So I have been meaning to update this for a few weeks but I have been so busy with school, work, and my calling which is being over ward activities in my young single adult ward. So two weeks ago we had a halloween party for the ward. We had to cook for over 200 people and also make sure we had food that was gluten free for the few people in my ward that are gluten free. On Saturday Richard and I went and bought food we were very careful with finding everything that was gluten free. Most of the normal food we had was gluten free which made our lives a lot easier the only thing we had to by that was form the gluten free sections was the cookies and the spagetti. We cooked for over 6 hours the Sunday before. Richard (who is the other person over activities with me), some of our committee members, my roommate Becca and I all started to cook about 4 in the afternoon and didn't finish til at least 10 at night. We had so much food we had to take some to the church and store it there over night because we ran out of room in my and Richard's fridge. On top of ward activity I had to study for a test for one of my classes and I had to read a documentary for my history class so I could write an in class paper. So I was really stressed out that weekend. Monday comes along and Richard starts setting up for the activity about 3 in the afternoon and I join him after my test in the afternoon. I get there right before the activity starts. On top of getting there right before it starts I had to go to Lee's (a local grocery store) to get gluten free spagetti (again) because the gluten free spagetti that we bought and cooked previously didn't set right. After the activity I felt so relieve that the activity was over and I slept for days after!  

This was the back of my car after we were done grocery shopping on Saturday. 

This last weekend was full of fun activities. I worked on Saturday and then Andy, our friend Andrew and I all went to the USU basketball game. We killed the other team 92 to 56. It was a great game. That Sunday Andy and I went to his singles ward. Which we have to start doing every other week, since he is considered inactive in his ward. So every other week we are going to go to his singles ward which means I can sleep in every other week. I have a Sunday nap the other weeks since my ward starts at 9 am and his starts at 1. So far everything is going great. Work is going great. I work about 3 days a week. Things are going great with Andy and I and we are happy together and enjoy spending time with each other. School is great! I love this year. I have awesome roommates and I have been studying hard and keeping my grades up! Hopefully I will update this more then once a month. 

October Conference Weekend

This past weekend was General Conference. I really look forward to watching General Conference when it comes around in October and then again in April. This year Andy and I were able to get tickets for the Saturday Morning Session of General Conference in Salt Lake. Some talks that I really enjoyed throughout conference was Dieter F. Uchtdorf's talk form Saturday morning session when he talked about not living with regrets and to look at the positive in your life instead of negative in your life. One talk that really caught my attention was President Thomas S. Monson's talk from Sunday morning when he talked about that we should never postpone a prompting. There were so many talks that were amazing but those were the ones I really enjoyed. I know that I will have to go back and re-watch the ones I missed and even the ones that I watched. 

Our tickets that we got. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for getting them for Andy and I. It was an amazing experience being able to go in person.

After Conference on Saturday Morning, Andy and I walked over to the City Creek Center Mall and had lunch. My friend Tiffany S. came over to meet us and catch up and meet Andy. It was so good to see her again and to catch up. We had so much fun talking in the little time we had to spend together. 

Later that day I met up with my old young women leader Sister Turman and her husband for dinner and I haven't seen them in years! I t was so good to see them and catch up with them. 

On Sunday we decided to have a General Conference Party. Everyone just showed up in pajamas and we just watched conference and then hung out after. The morning session it was just my roommates Rachel and Courtney, Andy and I. Then we decided for the afternoon session to invite everyone we knew that was home for the weekend to come to our apartment and watch conference. It was really fun. 

Oh how I love college!!! Let me tell you this year is going so much better then last year! I have been in Logan for a month now and I really do love it! Logan is really a home to me. School started last week and I am loving my classes this year, there so fun and most of them are for my major so it way nice. They make me more excited to become a speech therapist. My job at Quiznos is going great! 

College life is going great! I love my roommates this year we all get along so well. We have done so much in the two weeks we have been here. We have been on a hike, gone to games, have had dinner together all the time, and bonfires. We have fun all the time. Its great I really am having so much fun this year! Thanks to my one of my roommates I have meet so many people because my roommates leave the door open and we have meet so many of our neighbors through it. So if you haven't heard through Facebook or family. I have met someone. His name is Andy. We met at a bonfire through one of my roommates. He is so great, he can make me laugh for no reason, and he makes me so happy. I can't stay mad at him! I love being around him we have so much fun when were together. Our first date we went kayaking and had a picnic. It was so fun.

I really don't know what to title this post so I am going to leave it blank. Well I have been in Utah for three weeks now! Its crazy how fast time fly's. Work is great! I love working at Quiznos. So not only have I been working everyday of the week which is way nice! I also moved apartments this weekend. My apartment complex does summer living which is on the newer side of the complex. So on Saturday morning I moved out of my summer apartment and into my fall apartment which is on the older side of the complex. It took me 7 hours to move and unpack everything. I am officially moved in and everything is put away where it belongs! This week is the last week before school starts up. WAHOO!! I am actually excited for school to start up! I am excited for the new year and to start fresh! I can't wait to start school and for football games and everything! I have a feeling its going to be a great year!

In Utah Once Again!

So I moved back to Utah last Thursday. It was a long drive! I did end up getting my car and I love it! The seats are not the best for long trips. So I love being in Utah. The cooler weather and just being on my own! I had a job interview on Monday at Quiznos and I got the job! Since I have been in Utah I spent the weekend with my dad,  I have gone to a wedding for my roommate Brindy and Mike, I have seen my family, I have seen my friend Rachel, been to the lake, and I have a job all over the weekend. I can say successful so far. I started working yesterday and I like it so far. I am working all week. What I love about this job is that there closed sundays!! I have been working mornings I work mornings all next week too. It is nice to have a job already. I love being in Utah! I can't wait to start school again!!
