Big News!!

So.... I'M ENGAGED!! Nate proposed the night of March 8th and of course I said yes!

We are extremely excited! AUGUST 3rd, 2013 is the date! It is going to be a crazy five months! School, graduation, work, moving, starting @ Dixie, working some more, planning, planning, PLANNING, temple prep classes, new church ward, sweating for the wedding (gettin' fit!), getting excited, and lots more planning!
The planning is moving right along! (Thanks mom! You're a life-saver!) We have also chosen our wedding color scheme!

I think I want the chocolate to be a little more rich and dark though, a little less orangey; and I'd the light the raspberry to be a little darker. BUT, super excited!! We are ecstatic to be marrying each other in the Manti Temple. We are in it for the long run and nothing short of forever. :) Reserving the temple was a big step! It made everything much more real! Nate and I have a few places in mind for the reception. They're historical buildings that were restored. I love the idea of that! One is an old Dance Hall/Ballroom and the other is an Opera House! I can't wait to hear back from them! We are planning on meeting up in Manti to check them out soon.
We have chosen our honeymoon spot! We are going to rent a cabin in southern Colorado for a few days/nights. Nate found the perfect one in our price range. We are just waiting to hear back from them. :)
Though it is just the beginning, I am absolutely LOVING planning our big day!!! I had no idea that I would enjoy it this much! haha. Everything so far seems to be falling into place and everyone has been extremely supportive. I LOVE YOU NATE!

January Jumbles

I don't believe that 'jumbles' is legally a word, but I just added it to my mental dictionary.

Jumbles (n): a compilation of events confined to a specific time period.

December and January were good. Here are some updates:

Hunter's saftey went well. I passed! Woo! Now I can purchase my combination license to put in for the buck drawing for hunting season this fall.
Fall 2012 Semester ended well. I'm very relieved to have it over with. The break was nice and Spring 2013 Semester starts on Monday (14th). I will be taking photography, nutrition, and jewelry. It'll be my last semester at SLCC with my graduation date of May 9, 2013. Boy am I excited! It's nice to have the date set.
Well December 21, 2012 came and went without the world ending. Not that it was in question before. Haha.
I bought my first firearm. It's a Remington 597 .22 long rifle. I love it. :)
Christmas was pretty busy. My mom and brothers didn't end up making it out this way, but I am sure they had a nice Christmas. My dad was here from Georgia for the week of Christmas. It was nice to see him. I was in STG the weekend of the 14th which was fun. We built gingerbread houses out of rice crispy treats. We exchanged some gifts as well. Nate got me a very nice hunting bow. I was extremely surprised and I love it. Nate and Connor came down to SLC the weekend before Christmas. We went ice skating (they had never been!) and went to see the temple square lights. We made some Christmas sugar cookies too! We had a lot of fun.
New Years was pretty uneventful. I was in STG watching Friends when the clock struck midnight. Reigning in the New Year was not as good as I suspected, but time is a marvelous thing. I am still anticipating 2013 to be a good year, whether it is the same as I had hoped or different. Life always has changes for us to adapt to.
I started a new blog for 2013. It's called Positive Perspiration. The idea of this blog is to put my fitness goals out in the open to help myself and others. I struggle with motivation and am hopeful that this blog will aid in keeping me motivated. https://positiveperspiration.blogspot.com (invitation only)

Well, that's pretty much it. Here are some pics from the holidays.
