Engagement!!!!!!

Well tons has happened since the last time I blogged! Most of you already know I am engaged and getting married on May 1st in the St. Louis Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!!!! My fiance's name is Mackay Merrill and he is from Mesa, Arizona. He served a mission of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Tokyo, Japan from 2006-2008. Mackay got home just before school started this past fall semester. We were in the same ward together. We noticed each other at the beginning of the semester but did nothing about it. I really was not interested in dating anyone and shut him down a few times. He decided I was not interested and moved on. Then while we were on Thanksgiving break my roommate and his roommate decided they should hook us up. Well Chloe informed me that Mackay was indeed interested and I was finally ready to start looking at prospects for dating. Mackay and I began hanging out more and more with each other and it was great fun. We went to the First Presidency Christmas Devotional and at the end we were walking around the Temple grounds and he grabbed my hand. Roughly 2 weeks later we both went home fro Christmas break. It was amazing to me how much I missed this wonderful man. Well Mackay and I talked on the phone everyday for at least an hour and it was the highlight of each of my days. Well a couple of days he called me one morning and asked if I would be willing to fly out to meet his family if he payed for the plane ticket. I of course was ecstatic! I could not wait to see him! I flew out there on New Years and had a blast with him and his family. we drove back to Provo in the 3rd and about a week later started talking about marriage. we decided it was what we both wanted and that it was right! So on Friday the 9th of January mackay proposed. Oh don't worry I will tell you how it happened. It was right after lunch and he asked me to go for a walk with him (not out of the ordinary.) So we walked to our park...it has a lot of sentimental value to us... and he gave me a piggy back right across the snow...I hate to walk in snow...then when we got to the pavilion he was jumping around showing me all of his mad ninja skills! Then he told me the best ninja skill of all is the power to stun...then he pulled the ring out of his pocket and got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! It really was wonderful!!!!!!!
So yeah now we are getting married! basically everything is planned. We only have to do our announcements, register, and get my dress altered and we will be done! I have never been so happy!

THANKSGIVING BREAK!!!!!!

So I must say that I am very excited to go on Thanksgiving break!! This is the most ingenious idea...put an almost week long break 2 weeks before finals...perfect! I am already feeling the relief of the break...I finally feel caught up with all of my classes!
Oh so I should probably tell you all about my birthday!! Yesterday was my birthday and it was fabulous! We started celebrating it on Friday..Chloe's day to celebrate with me was on Friday...she made me dinner and Cinnamon rolls...we watched Phantom of the Opera and sang along opera style to all of the songs...then we had an anti-evolution party and watched a movie which was awesome I believe it was by Ben Stein and he pretty much fought for the right to research Intelligent Design...if you have not seen it I would highly suggest it!!....Saturday was Felicia's day to celebrate with me...she made me pizza...and Pazookies...then we went to the mall and walked around..then her Kevin and I watched a movie...then as I was getting ready for bed she gave me my first gift which was a picture frame with pictures of her and me in it and a leaf( leafs remind her of me)...then Sunday morning when I got up there were two pairs of earrings onmy desk with a note from her...then she left for California while I was at Church and when I got home there were two bottles of nail polish on my bed with another note from Felicia! Then I went to dinner at Josh and Christie's house and they made dinner for me and stuffed me silly...then josh thought it would be funny to wrestle me and give me my birthday spankings...haha it was all very fun!...Then Steph gave me a card...Krysten and Corrine came to ward prayer and surprised me with brownies!...Then to top the whole night off Shyanne called me and we talked like old times!!!!! It was so good to talk to her! I miss that gild like crazy! So all in all I had a wonderful birthday! I really do have wonderful friends and family!!!

Tres Piece

So I am sick at the moment and do not feel like doing homework. Thus I started watching one of my favorite youtube video ever and I decided to share it with all of my readers. Here is a link to the video...y'all should watch it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LMqZm0gL1w Just copy and paste it in your web browser and sit back and laugh!

Ok so I know it has been forever! Sorry!
So I have been doing some crazy awesome stuff since I got back from Missouri! Lets see where do I begin.....oh yes, Homecoming!
So a couple of weekends ago Felicia and I both got asked to Homecoming! It was flippin awesome! I went with my friend Matt and we doubled with my two other friends Nate and Heather...Well the four of us made these crazy awesome t'shirts! Mine said "amazing awesomeness" in mandarin! Sweet huh! So then we went to the dance sporting our fabulous shirts. Sadly enough the dance only had 30 min to go so we decided to create our own dance outside of Nate's apartment! So Felicia and her date joined us! It was a great time! Totally awesome weekend Felicia and I took pictures of us before the date!
ok so last Friday was awesome!!! I totally went longboarding down Provo canyon....hardcore?...yes!!! So my friend Dave took me Felicia and her friend Tony! We pretty much rocked it! sadly I biffed it pretty bad and smacked my head and I believe got a minor concussion.....but no fears I am doing just fine now! But we had an awesome time and I feel pretty hardcore now!
Last Saturday we had this party thing called Oktober fest! It is lots of fun and lots of dancing! Felicia and I rocked it out and had tons of fun! So the party was going wonderful...we were dacning...and having a gay old time (gay meaning happy)....and Ryan and Jon threw me in the swimming pool....it is ok though becuase I totally started a new trend and I got Ryan in...with the help of Jon of course! It was awesome!! After the party was over I went and played rockband with Todd and Bryan! It was sweet!
Ok so yesterday night was halloween! So Felicia and I decided we just wanted to chill so we watched the edited version of titanic! But that was a very heavy movie(emotionaly) So we decided to lighten things up a bit with a light hearted movie....after a long and arduaous journey we found "what a girl wants"...We made it about 1/3 of the way through the movie before I started falling asleep...then we went to bed!!! I am so proud of myself because I did not set my alarm and slept in until 12! I feel so much better now!
Tonight.....was our ward halloween party!!! It was flippin amazing!! Felicia and I dressed up as 80's chicks! we looked awesome!!! There was dancing once again and I won the cake walk!! (flashbacks to 1st grade halloween party!) Then we went with Jon and Ryan and a bunch of other cool kids and ice blocked!! It was awesome!! Now I look like I peed my pants but It was totally worth it!!
So yeah those have been my crazy adventures!! Sorry it has been so long since I have written! I will try to stay on top of it better!

Home Sweet Home

I am in Missouri! So for the past month I have been working 32 hours a week while doing 14 credits at BYU. I was getting pretty worn down so my parents bought me a plan ticket and flew me out to Missouri for a long weekend. I have slept so much since leaving Provo. I fell asleep as my flight took off in Salt Lake and woke up as we landed in Pheonix. I also slept of over half of my flight from Pheonix to Kansas City. I took a four hour nap on Thursday and Friday. Today I slept in until ten and finally feel rested.
Let me tell you coming home is a wonderful thing. I am so grateful God gave us families!!! yesterday was Dad's birthday and so we went out to dinner last night... it is so nice to just be around people who know all of your faults and still love everything about you.

Still alive!

So I just wanted everyone to know that I am still alive! School has started and I am working some crazy hours! I love my classes so much! They are all really interesting which is really, really nice! Life is going pretty darn good! Yes I am alive and well!

The warehouse!

I offically have the best job ever...don't get me wrong it is not what I do but who I work with! I work in a flashlight warehouse. Mostly what I do is engrave the flashlights with logos and such. Well on Monday my boss Todd and I decided to build this amazing house out of 580 empty boxes!
Once we were through with the house we jumped into an awesome pile of boxes made from opening box after box of flashlights! It was tons of fun! Lynzi decided to record all the fun!
