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!
