summer lovin'

ONE MONTH FROM TOMORROW IS THE BIG DAY!!!! :) holy cow! I can not believe it is finally here! I pick up my dress tomorrow and I could not be more excited!! Invites came yesterday and they are THE cutest things on this planet! Everything is slowly but surely coming together and I love it! It's crazy that it's actually happening but so exciting! :)

We went to lake powell this past week with my family and cousins.  It was a complete blast! I love lake powell so much! And being with Justin just added the cherry on top! :)

ps We can start moving into the apartment in about two weeks! crazy right?!

last weekend?

I realized that throughout all the crazyness I didn't even talk about one of the best dates ever... and it was our supposed "last weekend before he left for texas date".  We went and hiked up ensign peak, walked around temple square, went to the bee's game, had a picnic and went paddle boating at liberty park.  SO fun and SO glad it wasn't our last weekend for the summer! :)

call me crazy?

Holy COW! Life has been hectic lately! Finally got my dress altered!! :) Invites are picked out, cake has been decided on suits, and groomsmen have been picked out.  It's finally all coming together!  Life is great, just busy, busier than I want it to be.  Just and I never get to even see each other because of our jobs and school.  (one week left of school! yay!)  This past weekend we went to St. George with my family and grandparents and it was a blast to just be able to lay by the pool, eat food, and not have a care in the world! :) Throughout all the crazyness we've been able to have some fun... like the he is we concert, snow cones, and summer night walks.  Can I just say I LOVE HIM?! Really though... I'm lucky. <3

the beginning of forever.

I'M ENGAGED! :)  and I am quite possibly the happiest girl on this planet.  I get to marry my best friend, the hottest kid on the plant!!! haha

Here's the story:

We met in psy 1100 and to be quite honest I thought he was a player and didn't really care to get involved with him.  One day he invited me to go to Zupas for lunch after class with him and I said sure! So we went and had a blast but! he never asked me for my number after so I thought hey this isn't going anywhere.  The next week in class, he put HIS number in my phone so I could bring him leftover pizza after work.  A week after that we went and got frosty's and HE KISSED ME!!! I was literally floating when I walked inside! :) From then on we started talking everyday and by November we were inseperable! :) We went on a trip to Boston over Christmas Break and on the flight home he said... I LOVE YOU!!! :) He had been planning on leaving for the summer to texas to do summer sales and I was DREADING it.  We said our "goodbyes" Sunday night and it was one of the hardest things... little did I know it was all just a set up for this whole proposal thing!  I went to work all day Monday and then that night went out for ice cream with the bestie.  Meanwhile, while I was gone Justin had came over and decorated my room with balloons and on the ends of the balloons were pictures of us, notes, HE IS WE CONCERT TICKETS!, gift cards, and our favorite snacks.  He then made a video of him saying how he wishes he could be here with me but is so grateful that my  mom and sisters were able to put this last surprise together for me.  He then went on to say that there was another surprise waiting for me outside!  Okay now lets back up... I come home from ice cream and headed straight for the garage to grab something out of my car for Alex and lo and behold... Justin is hiding in the laundry room.  I FREAk out and then he tells me to just go upstairs! So I go upstairs as he follows behind me and then wallah!! he proposes :) :)

It didnt' go as planned whatsoever but was probably more perfect than anything I could ever imagine! I love him a lot and am so so excited to spend forever with him! 8/18/12 is the big day! The wedding planning has just begun and it's so fun! I love him :)
