Happy Valentines, And some wonderful news!

This Valentines David and I kept it close to home! On Saturday we went to our favorite Kay's Jeweler and picked out Davids wedding ring.. He wanted me to pick out a wedding band but I told him I didn't want one because it would cover the cute heart on the sides of my ring :) So we got David's ordered and it should be ready at the beginning of March! On Sunday David cleaned the house a lot for me and I cooked him a big dinner! It felt like thanksgiving all over again! I cooked a 21.5 lbs turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, vegis, and ended it with warm apple pie and vanilla ice cream! It was delicious and in my opinion the best gift you can give a man that LOVES to eat :)!!!

More good news is that David got a new job as a Official Santa Clara City fireman! he was so excited for his new spot with the crew! He was so excited when he found out he got the job it was like a kid in a candy store! He got this news around 10:30 AM Friday morning and at 3:35PM they had a call for a structure fire, a multi million dollar house had caught on fire. David was first on the scene and was the one that put the actual flame out! He was so excited! He was on this fire for 7 and a half hours. When he got home at quarter to 11 he was hyper off all the excitement and was very smelly!! :) on Saturday morning we woke up and looked at the news paper and David was on the front page!
I am so very proud of my Husband-to-be!!!
Here are some pictures from the paper!

Busy Busy Busy!!

January has been a crazy month for us.. For Christmas I got David a week long trip to Oregon to spend some well needed time with his family so he was gone Jan. 8 - 15. Which I must say in our new home was so hard, That place is too big for just me and the dogs, and it doesn't help that I am a HUGE baby! But he loved being in Oregon and getting to spend time with his family!

Mean while back here in Utah my mom and I have been working hard on getting things ready for our wedding.. things are coming a long wonderfully! Mostly thanks to my mom! I had to laugh at myself because for years I have said I want my wedding to be "this" and now that I am getting married everything has changed except my choice in flowers.. go figure!

I also finally went back to school this month. I am taking 10 credit hours this semester 3 over the summer and 10 next fall and I should graduate with my Associates next winter. Then I can just focus on getting my teaching degree!

My Maid-of-Honor Shannon came down and spend the weekend with David and I this last weekend and we got a head start on planning my Bridal Shower and just got some much needed girl time in!

After all that I came down with Bronchitis and have just been so useless this week! I am so exhausted and just want to sleep all the time and can hardly breath!

I am starting to feel better so I am hoping if the weather agrees with me this weekend I want to go do our engagements! I can't believe we only have a little over 2 months left.. even though it has only been 1 month :) It never seemed so close until now! But we are both so so excited!

We have gotten a lot done but still LOTS to do :)

Kicking of the wedding planning!

While I was in Salt Lake for Christmas my mom, my Maid-of-Honor Shannon and I went reception looking and found the most beautiful place and booked it for Saturday April 17Th 2010! I am so so excited! We have gotten A Lot of the plans done and I am SO SO SO thankful for my mom, my Maid-Of-Honor, and my other bridesmaids for making planning a wedding in Salt Lake while living in St. George so much easier for me! I LOVE YOU ALL!!! I am so blessed to have each of these people on my life!!!!

Here is a picture after our proposal:

Happy Holidays!

So I am a little late writing about to holidays, but this holiday season was absolutely Amazing!!!!! Christmas was a blast with my family, after getting my wonderful gift from David :) we got to spend time with the family. Here is a picture of my Brother and I on Christmas Eve and a picture of David and I on Christmas morning.

New years was a lot of fun also! We started the night at First Night with Nikki and Dan, then we went and saw The Chipmunks 2, It was a hilarious movie!! And we had the WHOLE theater to ourselves. After the movie we went up to the airport and met our friends Cody and Julie to watch fire works!! We ended the night at our house with friends and just having a good time! I am so thankful for another year with my amazing David!!!
