Forgive Me.

WARNING: This post is inspired by chick flicks. And therefore may contain some mushy sentiments.

I watched this movie for the first time the other night:

I loved it! It was a fabulous movie and I can't believe I'd never seen it before. Oh and it might have the most romantic movie line ever except possibly one more. I listened very closely. ;)
"Look, I guarantee there'll be tough times. I guarantee that at some point, one or both of us is gonna want to get out of this thing. But I also guarantee that if I don't ask you to be mine, I'll regret it for the rest of my life, because I know, in my heart, you're the only one for me."

Can you say aawwwwwwwwww? I did. I love it.


Oh, the other movie quote I was talking about? From this movie:

"When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible." Amen, Harry Burns, amen.









Hey there's something you should know. I have the best fiance. :) And I just love him. The end.

Awwwww

Tonight, as I was organizing my room, I came upon a letter written to me by one of my favorite students last year. And it absolutely made my day. :)

Oh yeah...I kind of forgot to tell you....

We're engaged!!!



I am sure that most of you, if not all of you, already know this. But I felt like posting it anyway. Because I'm super excited about it!!! :)


OKAY. Storytime. Are you ready?

We went to San Francisco with our friends Nick and Carly. We did lots of fun sightseeing the first couple days we were there - we went to Alcatraz, the pier, Fisherman's Wharf, etc. Saturday we had planned to go to the Muir Woods, a redwood national park that is close by. Carly had originally told me that we were going to take pictures there - she and Nick wanted family pictures with Em and then they would take some shots of me and James.

So, naturally, we dressed nice that day...actually got up, showered, did my hair, etc. :) We got to the redwoods and they were absolutely gorgeous. Such magnificent trees. I pretty much had my viewfinder to my eye the entire trip into the woods (which, I later learned, gave James and Carly plenty of pep talk time).

On our way out, we stopped at the bridge over the river. Carly said, "I want a video of this...river..." Somehow I still had no idea what was going to happen. James and I sat down on the bridge and Nick took a few pictures (which they had been doing all trip, so it didn't seem unnatural). I was still completely clueless. James turned to me and said, "Let's have a chat." He said some wonderfully romantic, nice things that I will not say :) and then he said he had a question for me. Believe it or not, I still didn't realize what was happening until he physically got down on one knee and asked me to marry him.

Of course I said yes. And then I asked him if he was serious. I couldn't believe it!


(this is when I asked him if he was serious and he laughed at me. Hey, I was in shock!)

We are so excited to be getting married!! I can't tell you how much I love this man. :) We are so happy and anxious and excited and nervous and just delighted!!

Oh and we will be married on November 5, 2011, in the Bountiful, Utah temple.

Craftiness

My friend Melissa is a GENIUS. :) She made one of these makeup-organizer things and I just had to copy her and make one for myself! It is so easy adn much cuter and more organized than the box I've been using for makeup.



This is what mine looks like. I only put the makeup I use fairly frequently on it, and kept the other stuff in my box to pull out when needed. I love it! Thanks, Melissa! :)

I Should Know Better

I really, really should know better than to read scary books this late at night. I didn't know this book was going to creep me out so much. It was a really good book, but I am now looking over my shoulder every second and half expecting someone to come rushing through my bedroom door.

I don't even want to open the bathroom door to brush my teeth and take out my contacts.

I don't want to turn out any of my lights.

And I really don't want to close my eyes and try to sleep.


I realize that I am no longer 5 years old. And if I'd read this book during the day, it wouldn't have bothered me at all. Just the fact that it's dark outside and I'm alone and that it's time for bed is enough to scare the wits out of me. I know this about myself. That's why I don't read books like this before bed. Except I forgot tonight. And now I'm paying for my carelessness.

I kind of wish I shared a room with someone right now. Then maybe I'd feel better because I wouldn't be alone.

City on the Bay

I spent this last week in San Francisco with James and our friends Nick and Carly, their daughter Emery, and Carly's brother Eli.

Best. Trip. Ever.

No, seriously. :)

We had so much fun!!! It was absolutely amazing! I only have a few pictures because I need to get the rest from James' computer, so here's a little sneak peek.
