Holy cow it's been a LONG time since I've blogged, But life is crazy busy planning a wedding... YES I AM ENGAGED!!! Me and Isaac are getting married on July 31st!! I'm SO excited! Yesterday we went and met with someone about getting announcements made. Isaac and I went to xpedx and bought paper that we wanted the announcements to be printed on, so that cut down the cost, which made us very happy:) The goal is to get the announcements out by next week... hopefully it will actually happen:) We'll see. Things are rolling smoothly. My mom and Isaac's mom have been a HUGE help in planning everything. And Isaac's mom and Cheryl are planning a bridal shower! How exciting! And Isaac's brother took our engagement pictures, and he did such a great job! I love them! And his wife is going to edit and photoshop them for us! I'm so thankful for wonderful family and friends who are SO willing to help. The Lord has greatly blessed me in all aspects of my life, and I know He is aware of me. Life is great!

Oh my goodness! It feels so good to be done with finals FINALLY!! I took my last final on Wednesday. I could have done better on it that's for sure. But actually, I thought I was going to do worse on it than I actually did... so I'll take it:) It's just good to have it over with! Now I need to pack my little bags for Tennessee! whoohoo!! Isaac is coming to TN to meet my family! We're gonna have some real southern fun:) I'm SO excited!


Anyways, I was looking online and found these random church Bulletin Bloopers. They made me laugh:

My Southern terms...

So just for the record, I looked up the word toboggan online in the Merriam-Webster dictionary, cuz people though it was so wierd that I would call a winter hat a toboggan. Okay, so I will give it to all you non-Southern folk who think that a toboggan is a sled, for it did include that definition... HOWEVER, it also included MY definition of what a tobbogan is. Uh hum... "chiefly Southern & Midland : stocking cap: a long knitted cone-shaped cap with a tassel or pom-pom worn especially for winter sports or play." So I'm not a wierd person for calling it what it is:)

Okee dokee... so I haven't blogged in a while, but here's what been goin down:

On Saturday, I went to Salt Lake to the Family History Library to search for one of my ancestors. It was for an assignment for my Family History Class. It was pretty cool because I found my great Granddaddy and his family on a cencus record! My journey up to Salt Lake was interesting though. So I got to Salt Lake just fine, but somehow I got lost IN Salt Lake. I didn't know where the heck I was or how to find Temple Square (even though I've been there quite a few times and have no clue how I got so lost). So I drove around for almost an HOUR in Salt Lake, and only until I asked two different people for directions did I find my way. So all was well!

SO after I got done at the library, I went to Isaac's football practice in the stadium!! It was really fun to watch! He did so well, and I was so proud of him:) He was livin' the dream!! YAY Isaac!

Later on Saturday, me and Isaac went SWIMMING! I couldn't believe it was hot enough! But Saturday was such a perfect sunny and beautiful day! We went swimming in my apartment complex's pool. It was so fun! I hadn't been swimming in forever! And if we got cold in the pool, we would just jump out and hop in the hot tub.... ahhhh:)

After that we went and ate at Bajios. YUM! It was amazing! I love Bajios! I got nachos with all the fixins! Mmmmm:)

Then we headed over to babysit our friend's little kiddies:) We watched Star Wars and had a merry old time!

Okay so lately I've been doing Jillian Michaels exercise video with Cheryl, and it is kicking my behind for sure! It's such an awesome workout though because it works ALL the different muscles in your body. It combines cardio with strength training.... I'm definitely breathing in like twenty times the amount of normal oxygen when I'm through with that beast of a workout. But it's good for me, and I feel very accomplished afterwards:) Jillian keeps telling me that if I want a twenty minute workout that's gonna produce results, then there's no fooling around. She says, "I want you to feel like you're gonna die!" No worries Jillian... I do.

Now, I'm going to go study for my finals... everyone should be jealous.

Today was a great day!!!! School was, well ya know... School:) Work was pretty good. I then I went to Isaac's house:) That was GRRReat!!! I gave him a haircut. He's such a handsome man:) well now I am here at school helping with makeup for a play. In reality I'm just sitting around until someone tells me they need help. It looks like most of the actors do their own makeup anyway, so I just kinda sit around. I mean, I'm not complaining or anything. More time for homework (AKA blogging)... well anyways, I'm wearing my hair in pig tails right now:) bringing out the little kid in me so to speak, so great!

Oh, okay so I have to do character makeup for my final class project. It can be a character from a play or movie. And it has to be pretty intense. So I was thinking either the wicked witch from snow white or the wicked queen from Sleeping Beauty. I'm not sure which one yet.

Last night I recorded a song with my friend! It was super fun! The song is called "So Far" and half of it is in Hebrew. It's a fun song! When I get the cd, I'll try to post the song on my blog:) Tonight I have to go and see a play for my Makeup and Theater class... whoohoo. haha but It'll be fun because Isaac's gonna come with me:) and Right now I have to quit wasting my time and start studying for my test that I should take this afternoon... we'll see if that happens:) whelp, HAPPY DAY!

a FABULOUS weekend!!

Yesterday was so GREAT! I spent the day with Isaac! We went goony golfing (more commonly know as miniature golfing... at least that's what everyone tells me it's called) and we went to see Alice in wonderland and then we went to Salt Lake and ate dinner in The Garden Restaurant on the top floor of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building! It was such good food! Then we walked around and enjoyed Temple Square. I love Temple square, it sooooo beautiful! I had such a fun time! Well, all I have to say is today was also A GREAT DAY! We had wonderful church meetings today. And I went over to Isaac's house and ate a wonderful dinner!! His family is awesome! I love spending time with them:) Now I'm home with my roommates watching Anne of Green Gables! What can I say... it's just been a GREAT DAY. THE END.
