Spring Break

YAY!!! I love Spring Break! A week with little obligation and spending time with the one(s) I love--namely Lorin. :D We are having a grand time.

Flip Camera!

For Christmas, Lorin got me an amazing little video recorder called a Flip. It has been the greatest thing to have in my classroom! It is so fun to document the things we do in class, and it is easy enough for the students to use. We have made a few small class videos, and they are a blast! I can't wait to make more! I am planning to record a little bit everyday until near the end of the year and then make a DVD for each of the kids. They'll love it, and I will always cherish it. :D

Engaged?! Say What?!

YES!!! Crazy, I know! I can't stop smiling, giggling, and laughing outloud with happiness. Lorin took me for a ride around Provo, and eventually made it to Rock Canyon Park by the Temple. We had a picnic on our first date there, so it was fun to go and remember great times. We got out and walked around in the snow (in our sunday clothes, so I was in heels!!!) When we got to the spot we ate at, we held each other in warm embraces and chatted happily. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, he lets go and get's down on one knee!!! I was soooo shocked! I really didn't expect him to propose right then. I mean, we talk about getting married all the time, but I was still surprised. He looked so handsome in his Sunday best, down on one knee looking at me with the most sincere eyes I've ever seen! Then, he reached into his inside pocket and pulled out a beautiful white box, fumbled to open in, and then looked at me and asked me to marry him! I was in such shock I stood there for a sec, then leaned down and hugged him so tight, and of course said YES!! It was definitely the happiest moment of my life. :D

Just after he proposed!


Similar pic, but with the ring in it!


A pic of the ring from online--doesn't do it justice, but still amazing! :D

Life is Good!

I have been taking atleast one pic a day, but I have not had the chance to upload them to the computer yet so I will be posting them soon!

Lorin was baptized this weekend! YAY! It was a very beautiful meeting, and he just glows. It was so great to be there! We will be going to Elko tis week for Christmas, and then back to Provo to pack up my apt and move over to Grandma's. Then he'll head back up to Boise. :( This year might be a bit long, but it will be sooo worth it! Life really is good! :D

Picture A Day Challenge. . . Again!

Ok, so I decided I am going to do the picture a day challenge for reals this time! I started doing it, and loved it, and then I just stopped. I am going to be posting them on here so maybe I'll remember to take them ;) Yay! I'm excited :D

Crazy weeks of Excitement!

Our 3rd grade Christmas program is/was today! We performed for the school this afternoon and will be performing for the parents tonight. They look so cute on the stage in their red and white! I was worried there for a bit, but it definitely came together beautifully! I look forward to tonight. :)

Tomorrow night I am going to dinner with the RS Presidency for the last time! This will be a bitter sweet dinner, but I am excited to spend the time with them. It has been a fun 'semester' with them!

I am sooo busy getting everything in order to leave Friday night/Saturday morning for the break! I am working on sub plans, which are almost finished, my Teacher Work Sample (TWS) for school, and seeing Lorin for his baptism!!! I am soooo excited for him. It has been amazing to see the light he has always radiated grow ten-fold, if that's even possible!! He is such a powerhouse it is incredible.


♥ Pics of Lorin and I ♥

Yes, it has been a LONG time!

Wow, I have not written for a LONG time! I am now teaching, dating the most amazing man of my life, and am celebrating the most wonderful time of the year! Things really couldn't be much better--except maybe slower and faster all at the same time ;) Lorin is getting baptized in a couple of weeks!!! I am sooo excited. It'll be a year after that until we can get married, but it is sooo worth it. :D Life has such a way of changing abruptly, but working out so perfectly. I love it! I definitely wasn't able to count all of my blessings this Thanksgiving because there were too many to count! :D
