So. Lots has happened since I last blogged! Fall happened. And with it, a lot of new things! I moved home, started teaching, and got myself a nice diamond ring and fiance. I couldn't be happier. It is just crazy! I can't believe so much has changed in two months. Teaching is a major beast, but it is awesome. I feel like it is one of the hardest things I have ever done, but the stress is starting dissipate. Here are some photos of my classroom...
The weekend before the first day of school, my sisters and I got to go see the musical wicked. It was SO good and so fun to go to a fancy play with my sisters (spencer was there with us too). I think we look pretty good :) The leads were some of the best I have heard, but something seemed a little off that night. Not sure if it was just me or something else. Probably just that our $90 tickets were behind some ladies with big hair ha ha ha.
On the first day of school, Mitch sent me these beautiful flowers! What a stud eh? I am the luckiest girl.
The first weekend of school we decided to venture away to St. George. It was the perfect thing for us to do. Mitch and I got to know a lot about each other that weekend, and it was just what we both needed to solidify how we felt about each other. Basically on that trip we decided to get married... so...
Our first date was to a wedding reception and then we went to dinner and hiked the Y after. Around 10:00 when he was about to drop me off, I really didn't want the night to end... I was intrigued by this boy, and wanted to spend more time with him. So he surprisingly (Mitch doesn't like to hike or run) he suggested we hike the Y. It was so fun, and I feel like I knew from that night on that something about him was going to win my heart. I just couldn't pin point what it was for the longest time. We saw each other about ever singly day since that first date all through the summer. The week we spent apart was so hard for us, and other weeks we have had since moving apart from each other have been so difficult. We just decided we didn't want to live without each other... so. On wednesday the 19th, his mom and I were driving to provo, and she had to 'run and errand'. She had this photo CD to drop off at her cousin's house. Turns out this house is at the trail head of the Y! So we pulled up and there were white balloons everywhere and candles lining the driveway and pathways. I thought it was a wedding party for someone and thought nothing of it. Then I saw Mitch in the rearview mirror, with this huge grin on his face and a nice new shirt. I was so surprised to see him... and then I put the pieces together. I was getting engaged! I opened my car door and gave him a huge hug and realized that he was shaking almost uncontrollably... bless his heart. We walked to the grass, and he just got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! I said yes right away and was just sooo happy. I didn't cry at all, just screamed and was so happy. We ate Lajolla groves and watched the sun set. What a perfect proposal!!! I am so excited to get married. On December 28th, 2012 is the day we are getting married! Wish us luck and any advice/help you want to send my way I am welcomed and excited to get!!
