19 days.
but who's counting?

We finally found an apt. woot.
it's in the basement of an older couple.
They are so cute.
and love Austin and I.
So they lowered rent (as a wedding gift, ha)
and we like Obama- why? you may ask.
We can stay on our parents health insurance for 4 more years.
booyah.
We are so blessed.
...

true love.

We are so happy to be getting married, can't you tell?!
No but seriously, I'm so excited I can't really handle it.
yup. I'm the luckiest girl in the world-
I'm so glad the weekend is almost here, and hurrah for conference. I could use a good spiritual energy drink now and again.

Here are some of our engagement pictures. well just the corny ones. (you'll have to wait for our wedding to see the good ones, actually I'm just too lazy to upload them)
I was way not excited for our engagements because they are always so cheesy and when we get wedding invites in the mail I usually make fun of the picture (sad, ha).

First off we have the choker... got to love it.

Then the classic peek around the tree and look at each other.
Ok, so I really do like this one.

And this one was just for you mom... (our photographer thought we were so weird, ha)
only 51 days and counting...

WOOT!

Japan!

I'm engaged! to my very best friend and I couldn't be happier. more pictures to come of Japan...

weekends

they come and go so dang fast.
friday Zupas and The Majestic
saturday quilted and consumed 5000 calories of muddy buddies. yum.
sunday family ward (It was a good change)
and
monday real life begins again. Where does the time go?

In just 8 days I have to move back home.
and commute back to work/school
But... In 10 days I get to spend a whole week in Japan with Austin and his family.
I just love this boy.

Pretty soon school starts again.
Secretly I am a little bit excited inside.
Nerdy, huh.
I like going to class and staying busy
but I'm not excited to be ultra stressed about tests and grades.
I'm excited to go buy sweet new school supplies and pack my backpack.
and use my crazy cool calculator in my sweet math and physics classes-
doesn't that sound exciting? ha.

barbershop

Last week we went to our Condo in McCall.
It was crazy fun.
We went on this beautiful bike ride and ended up here...

Yesterday I cut Austin's 'mop'


I was scared to death...
and had no idea what I was doing,
so I pulled out the bowl, ha.

not too bad, eh?

procrastination...

It's 12:17 and tomorrow is cleaning checks. I've cleaned everything except my room, but I'm exhausted- so here I am blogging instead...
Today I made Chicken Pot Pie.
You may ask since when do you eat anything other than oatmeal? ha
Well, I've got to start being normal- and cooking real food.
It was weight watchers pot pie, but nobody needs to know that.

Preston came over too, and Alex (Austin's brother) and Cole (Preston's roommate).
Love these boys.

friday night loneliness

So this is my oh please gag me post...
But I couldn't help myself.
Austin is gone for 4 days.
I miss him a lot. a lot a lot.
He's in Arkansas. I should have flown out.
I'm ready for him to come home.
They say that, 'distance makes the heart grow fonder,'
well my heart was fond enough without him leaving... ha.
On memorial day we hiked to Stewart Falls,
It was way fun.
He carried me across the creek so my shoes wouldn't get wet.
What would I do without this boy?
Probably read my book, and prepare a Relief Society lesson.
Yes, that's what I'll be doing this Friday night.
I hope your weekend is filled with more excitement than mine, ha.
