Update!

Well I thought when I started this thing, that I would post all the time... well no! There is just not time!

Well time flies when your having fun and busy! Cody and I really don't get to see each other much but when we do its the best. For Valentines day we celebrated a day early because his Aunt passed away and her funeral was on Valentines day. We went to diner at Hollow Moon and then went to probably one of the best movies I've seen in a while, Taken. Coder gave me a beautiful spray of roses and a gift certificate to the Diva Salon in Vernal! The next day we traveled down to Delta for the funeral and then stayed the night at his brother Jason's house. His nephews are so much fun to play with: McKrae, Keegan and Kohlbin. They are starting to warm up to me and I'm very excited. They all act so different and are so loving and fun!

Well Cody has learned that I'm not very good with surprises, I just like to know! So he tries to surprise me as much as possible; so when we got done with the funeral we went back to his parent's house and there he gave me the cutest picture ever! (sorry I have to take it at an odd angle to avoid the lights glare)

He's Grandparents were like.... Cody how did you know your were going to marry her in '09? We all laughed. Its all computerized but I guess we'll have to start our own real family tree soon.
Cody's birthday was on Tues. Feb 17. Happy Birthday Coder! I took him to diner in the great town of Vernal.... We had fun! I gave him some sweet spurs and my parents gave him a shirt and Quincee gave him a pop gun. He is such a big kid, he enjoyed the pop gun must of all!
Then that Thursday I headed down to Richfield to my little sister's state basketball tourny. They ended up taking second... they should have done better but while we were down there, there was a little bridal shop which we decided to just check out. Its a good thing I did, I found the prefect dress! A couple weeks ago I went out to Provo and tried a few thousand on and didn't love any, but I love this one...... I'm so excited! Its a surprise so no pics!
Then last Saturday Cody and I went to diner with all this friends from Delta, it was so much fun! Since it was Cody's birthday we went and ate at Texas Road House by the South Town Center where they made him ride the Saddle! It was hillarious! One of his friends also had a birthday and they rode the little saddle together! And of course I forgot my phone and camera so there it no pics, just great memories! We had so much fun and we can't wait until we have all get together again!
Our lives wild and crazy right now with all the wedding plans, work and family plans. We're suppose to go ice fishing with all his family, so hopefully we won't fall through the ice!

May 16!

May is the perfect time for a wedding!

Thats right, we've chosen May 16 to be married in the Manti Temple.

We're going to have an open house in Delta that night and then another openhouse in Altamont on the 21(Thursday, I know, but its the only time we could get Hidden Springs).

I've had a million people want to know our engagement story, so here is it.

Cody and I have almost been dating for year and we knew that we'd eventually get married but we just took our time. Well around Christmas time we went and looked at rings and he found the perfect one! Its super awesomely pretty! (the picture doesn't do it justice!)

So I knew it was going to come sometime soon so I waited and waited. I was kinda getting impatient with the waiting thing so I asked him if he had the ring and he said the ring had to be custom made and would take up to three months! I was like dangit! So I said we need to make some plans and if we don't start we won't get the lodge for May. So he said... I'll just get you a cracker jack ring prize. I said all right as long as its big and big!

So on January 29 at my little sister's ball game, he came walking in with a box of munch and crunch (he couldn't find some cracker jack). I thought he seemed all little nervous but I just shrugged that off. He handed me the box and I thought he was just being a smartallic so I put the box down and conitued to watch Quincee's game. All of a sudden he was chowing down the crunch. He was like I'm going to find the prize before you... and still I didn't catch on. A few hand fulls later, he found the prize and pulled out a Ring Pop and continued to pull it out of the wrapper and get down one one knee... my face was so red! But I didn't know it was the real thing so i didn't go along with it..... so he got up and I ate the ring pop.

So we watched the rest of the game... Quincee's team won by the way, and we headed for home. I was still laughting about his little trick as we walked into my house, but he wasn't saying anything. So I turned around and there he was, bent onto one knee and there he asked me to marry him and I said YES! and he gave me that beautiful ring! I love it so much and I love him so much! I can't wait to start my life with him and be sealed to him forever!

But I guess the fun of planning a wedding begins... I'm not sure if its fun or not! But I'm sure everything will turn out great!

Well thats our story! I thought he's proposal was so cute and clever. Come to find out he was setting this whole thing up with Quincee and he thought I knew the whole time, so he last minutly had to come up with his real proposal. But I loved it and I was so surprised!

This is a picture of the Cod-man and I ice skating with Quincee, Rylan and their friends. I love pictures so so so much, I'm going to try and add a pic in every blog! We'll see if I succeed!
