Thanks! I hope you enjoy!

Big Things

Busy Busy Busy!!! Yesterday Chase and I moved some stuff into our new APARTMENT!!! It was so much fun. I seriously loved every single second of it. This week is packed full of so much stuff to do! Yesterday was moving day, today is homework day. I have a 10 page paper to write and a math test to survive. Chase has a 3 page paper to write. So we decided today had to be devoted to those things. Tomorrow we are going to move some more stuff. Thursday will be here before we know it which means Friday is close to follow. Busy week, but it leads up to the best day of my life! So I think I just might survive.

Worst

Ok, so I have been the worst at blogging lately. I noticed that my last blog was when I had fourty something days until my wedding. Well I am pleased to tell you all that I am down to ten, yes only ten more days!!!! Ahhhh! I've really just been busy with work, school, and wedding planning. Nothing exciting. We get to start moving stuff into our apartment in one week! I can't wait! I really don't have much to update y'all on. I just thought I should say a few words. I promise I will be better at this blogging thing after I get married.

45 Days.. But Who's Counting?

What's more fun than stalking single people's blogs?? Stalking married people's blogs! Well at least for me it is. It just shows me all the fun I have to look forward to. I already made Chase and I a "married people's blog" I haven't made any posts on it yet though. It's still a work in progress. I just want it to be perfect. Anyway I will let you all know what the url is to that when I start using it. That will happen in approximently 45 days Can you believe it!!! It's creeping up on us so quickly! We got our announcements all printed and we are getting our bridal/groomal pictures taken towards the end of this month. Our engagements turned out soooo good! You can see them on the HI5 Photography blog it is... www.hi5photography.com/blog and you can see all of Sara's other amazing work too! Well I have to be off to work. I'll just leave you with this... I'm overly obsessed with this picture right now. It's my facebook pic, my computer background, and my phone background.

I hope you love it too!

So Fun!!! :)

I know this girl named Lynae.
She's cute, fun to be around, and super nice to everyone!
We have known each other for a couple of years.
I can't even remember a specific time that we officially met.
She was my visiting teacher for a couple of months last year.
It was so fun to get to know her better through that!
She's seriously just a sweetheart!
Well she nominated me for the
"Stylish Blogger Award!"
To Participate here's what I have to do:

#1: Thank the person who nominated you

#2: Share seven facts about yourself

#3: Nominate 7 new bloggers to participate.

Be sure to comment on their blog so they know they've won, too!

--So here we go,7 amazing facts about me!!--

#1- I am 64 days away from marrying the love of my life!
I am sorry that this is all my blog has been about lately, but it is the most exciting thing going on right now!! I seriously can't wait!
#2- I am scared of shadows, and heights!
When I was little there were lots of shadows in my bedroom. I always found myself thinking they were something scary. So I'm not scared of shadows when I know what they are. Just when I don't know what they are is when I get scared!
#3-My mom is becoming my best friend!
I was always told when I was little that one day my mom would be my best friend. This is now happening to me. I love it!
#4- When I'm alone in my car I turn my music up as loud as it can go and sing at the top of my lungs!
It's kind of like therapy. If you haven't tried it, you should!
#5- I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.
The problem with this is that I'm kind of grown up... and I'm running out of time to decide what I am going to school to be!
#6- I want to fly somewhere so bad!
Maybe I just feel like I need a vacation. But I have had this urge to fly somewhere for the longest time! I just need to do it!
#7- I hate being late when I go places!
But I don't really like being early either. I just like being perfectly on time.

At 1:17 A.M.

I am laying in bed doing this...
-Thinking about my future. I used to think that as soon as I found out who I was going to marry that there would be nothing more to wonder about my future. I know now that I was seriously fooling myself! Can I just tell you though that even though the wondering about my husband was exciting, the wondering about my future with him is even more exciting. I mean don't get me wrong I think I know just as well as anyone that marriage is not a walk in the park. And yes, I do expect to have arguments between the two of us, but I'm looking forward to solving them together. I'm so excited to see what our life has in store for us. And can I just tell you that I love calling it "our" life now instead of "my" life!
-Here are some wedding plan updates for all of you that care :)
--I GOT MY DRESS!!!! AND I OWE IT ALL TO PARENTS THAT LOVE ME! It's absolutely gorgeous and I am completely in love with everything about it!
--The reception is pretty well put together (kinda...)
--The temple is scheduled, thank you grandma!
--I cashed in my change that I have been saving for the past two and a half years because I knew I would need it one day to pay for something to do with my wedding... it was close to 500 dollars. So advice to all of you... save your change, it really does add up!!!
--My mother is the most creative amazing woman on this planet! Without her I would so lost in all this planning stuff! She has forever and will continue to save me on every occasion. I don't know what I would ever do without her!
--We are getting our engagement pictures taken this next Saturday! By the VERY TALENTED Sara Ursua! Her work is amazing! There is a link to her blog on my page. Her business is called hi 5 photography. I have gotten to know her over the past three years and I can honestly say that she is a sweetheart! I can't wait Sar!
--I am madly in love with my fiance. I can't even express my grattitude to him! He works so hard to keep everyting in our lives running so smoothly. He keeps on my butt about my homework and he always has all of his priorities layed out straight. He goes to work at 6 A.M. three times a week and finds the energy to spend time with me every night. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him.

Weekend:

Thank you for coming!

Homework: Thank you for being done!

Now I just have to go to work in a few hours, hopefully make a million dollars... and then I get to spend the rest of my night with Chase. We are boring. We'll probably watch Law and Order or something. It's my new addiction.

Yesterday I went wedding shopping with my madre! Holy fun crazy day! We had a blast and got a lot done in a short amount of time. I am so excited for

April 22!

You all better come to my reception... I'm looking forward to it.

In Case You Haven't Already Heard Me Yelling From Roof Tops...

I'm Engaged!!!

I know...exciting right??!! Chase Kent Jaros is my future husband, and I love him. I can't even sleep at night anymore cause I'm really so excited! I'm going to take this post to reminisce a little. Sometime during the month of September 2010 I was invited to go hang out with one of my friends who I had gotten to know last summer. So he and his friends came and picked me up and we drove around town doing what every bored college student does on a Friday night to waste time. Little did I know that this moment would spark a string of events in my life. Chase was amongst those friends that I was with that night. We didn't meet or talk or acknowledge each others existance. Until later when I found out he was "staring at me all night, wishing he was brave enought to talk to me." I guess we even sat by each other at one point of the night. I feel bad now that I wasn't more friendly. So a couple of weeks later my friend Aimee and I were both invited to a movie night at this same guy's house who invited me to hang out with him that first night. So we went and we were sitting on our friends trampoline when he told me, "hey my friend Chase says that you guys are in the same math class." I had no idea! Honestly this past semester I didn't really think to get to know anyone or even be observant enough to recognize people who were in my classes. But when he got up to leave I asked if he was the one and I said to him, "hey, aren't we in the same math class?" he said we were. I didn't think anything of it, but the next couple weeks in math we would say hi to each other and talk a little after class, that is if he timed it right and walked out at the same time as me :). The first time we talked I felt like I was talking to myself. I think he might have said one sentence during the whole conversation. It got a little better after we had talked a couple of times. At the start of October my roommates and I got excited for Halloween and decided to dress up in our costumes and go around and visit some of our friends... kind of like a pre- trick or treating adventure. We stopped by at my friend's house and Chase was there. He didn't really say anything to me except maybe a hi. My best friend Aimee was there hanging out with all of them also. My roommates and I didn't stay there long though because we had to go see some other people. The next day Aimee and I were talking and she informed me that Chase told them earlier that night that he had a crush on me. Well, I thought, he doesn't anymore after my little pre-Halloween dress up party. He probably thinks I'm a freak right about now. But much to my surprise we kept magically meeting up in the hall after math and still had our pint sized conversations. The weekend before Halloween I was in Christensens talking to Aimee while she worked and she told me that Jared (the friend who i've mentioned lots of times and never said his name..) had invited her to go to the cabin with him and his family for the night. I had work off that night and I didn't really have any plans so I was just sitting at home watching tv when my phone rang and it was Jared. He invited me to go to the cabin with them too. Which I later found out was Chase begging Jared to invite me. So since I didn't have any plans I agreed to go. I talked a lot on the ride, but Chase was really quiet. We decided to go out four wheeling after we got there. It was a cold night and I don't remember if I even had a good coat. If you know me at all you know that I don't usually wear coats, not because I'm not cold, but I think it's because I grew up in St. George so I forget until I'm outside and by then I figure it's too late anyway. So we got on the four wheelers and I ended up riding on the back of the one Chase was driving. I decided to hold on to the bars in the back instead of holding on to him though cause I didn't want him to think I was some crazy person. We had as good of a conversation on the four wheeler as was possible though and I kind of started to think that I might end up liking this guy. We had a fun weekend. A couple of days later I missed math because I wasn't feeling well. The next day Chase asked me where I was and volunteered himself to help me catch up. He got my number from me and came over to my house to teach me what I had missed. Halloween night Chase invited me to hang out with him, Aimee, and Jared. But I already had plans so I didn't end up spending any time with them. The next day he invited me to his house to watch a movie with him and his roommates. I went and had a good time. We laughed and kind of got to know each other. He had been trying to ask me out on a date for a while and I always had to work until that Friday night. I got off from work early and decided to give him a call. He was making dinner for him and his roommates and invited me too. So I went over and we had dinner and then he and I went to a movie. We talked and flirted a lot! I'll never put his cowboy hat on his dashboard the wrong way ever again. We had a really good time and I'm pretty sure we did something every day that next week. We went on a good share of dates and hung out with our mutual friends and watched some movies and talked A LOT!!! We really got to know each other well. And yes, one night while we were watching a movie he finally kissed me. I knew after our first date that he was the kind of guy I could marry, and I wanted to see where this was going. He and I were pretty much inseperable after that. We fell in love quickly. I went to Colorado a couple of weeks after we started dating officially and I thought I was going to die being away from him that long. On my way home from Colorado we hit a huge snow storm and I was seriously scared for my life. I just kept thinking what if I died and I never told Chase that I love him. So when I got home, it was a couple of days but the words kind of just slipped out of my mouth and he reassured me that the feeling was mutual. The first week of Christmas break we went up to the Jazz game and while we were in Salt Lake we decided to go go ring shopping.We went to the Shane Co. in Midvale where I found the ring that I absolutely love!!! He proposed to me on New Years Eve up on a hill in town where we always go to look over the lights of town and talk about our future. He got out of his truck and got on one knee and I was freaking out. It was the best feeling, best day of my life. We keep falling more in love every day. I know this is cheesy but it's true. This is our story and I wanted you all to know. We are getting married in the St. George Temple on my grandma and grandpa's 50th anniversary, April 22, 2011. I can't wait!!! Now you all know the story. I could've gone into so much more detail but it would have taken me forever! I hope you all had as much fun reading it as I had writing it. Cause I had the time of my life living it, and I can't wait to share a lifetime of stories!
