{Yesterday}

Let's talk about yesterday shall we?

Yesterday was our 2 year engagement
anniversary! Holy cow. He proposed by taking up to Cascade Springs up in the mountains
and we had a little picnic.


After lots of mushy gushy talking he popped the question. M
y response "Wait - what? Are you serious?" He looked a little shocked and then said "Umm.. yes." and then I laughed and said "Of course!" I was a little bit confused at first because he said he couldn't propose yet because he didn't have a ring - tricky man. He proposed without a ring.




And a couple weeks later this is how I got the ring. Yes, he had that book made with me and wrote on several pages of why he
loves me.





In the middle of the book he cut out a hole and
wrapped up the ring and stuck it in there. Amazing! I have the most amazing husband ever! I can't believe we've been married for nearly a year and a half now!! Best. time. ever.







And yesterday Sean made me a delicious breakfast as a gift - what a sweet guy!

{School Starts}

Well, I have been inspired. I will start a blog and blog about many things - some important, most of them probably not so much.
Fall semester started for me yesterday. It's going to be kinda crazy - I'm taking 17 credits worth of classes (18 is the max) and I'll be quite busy. My book list for this semester had 14 books on it! I'm only taking 6 classes and I have 14 books! Luckily most of them were novels (for my race and inequality class and my juvenile delinquency class) and I got them on Amazon for 1/3 of the price at the bookstore. Buying all my textbooks at the bookstore would have been around $900 but thanks to Amazon that price tag was quite lower. I love amazon. I probably spend too much time on it...along with craigstlist hahaha.

This is my second to last semester of my undergraduate career (I will be getting a BS in Sociology with an emphasis in Criminology and Juvenile Delinquency) - yes, I graduate in April. Yes, this will be a 3 year degree. Yes, that's even after switching my major after one year. Yes, I'll be 20 when I graduate. Yes, that blows my mind. No, I'm not sure what will happen after April. I'll keep you posted.

Since this is my first post I should probably do some introducing. Sean and I were married on April 30, 2009. We met after Sean moved into my home ward when I was 13 and he was 16. Was it love at first sight? That's a tricky question. To make a long story short, after he came home from serving an LDS mission we were engaged 3 months later and married 8 months after that. We have been happily married for nearly a year and a half and are both working on campus as we finish up our degrees. Sean is studying International Relations and also getting a minor in Business, the Global Management Certificate, and a Spanish Language Certificate - Yes, my husband is super smart and dedicated and awesome.

That is us in a nutshell! well - here we are on the blogging world!
