engaged.

today was the best day of my life. ever.
it started at 4:45 this morning..
when i woke up late.
greg and i were supposed to leave for the airport at 5 am...i was supposed to wake up at like 4:15 so that i could get cute and ready to go meet his family.
that didn't work out so well.
anyway..
so.
we were in airports and on airplanes from 6:45 this morning until 4:15 this afternoon.
when we landed in Charlotte, NC i was amazed by how beautiful it was!!
i have never seen so many trees in my entire life.
it is gorgeoussss!
gregs parents met us at the airport with some beautiful flowers.
it was amazing.
we came home and met his sister and her husband and their baby girl.
it was so fun.
gregs mom then told me that she was going to show the rest of the house.
so she took me to the stairs...
i followed the trail...

the love of my life was standing in the middle of his bedroom, which was full of candles, and when i walked in, he got down on one knee.. it was perfect :]



wow.

texting.

i just got off the phone with my dear mother.
she called me very stressed out.
she just went to pay our family cell phone bill.
what she saw was shocking to her.
she even called t-mobile to see if there had been a mistake.
the lady at t-mobile said that she had been working there for 7 years and had never seen anything like it.
as of 10 o clock this morning, i have used 8,800 texts this month.
hahahahaha.

plagiarism

i saw this on someone elses blog.
and thought it was hilarious.
so..i copied and pasted it.

london.

I AM GOING TO LONDON!!!
I got accepted to Study Abroad through BYU.
I am going for Spring Semester 2009.
I can't wait.
I get giddy when I think about it.
I am ECSTATIC!
euphoric
blissful
overjoyed
delighted
thrilled
elated
rapturous
excited
happy
seriously..can't think of any synonym for the word "ecstatic" that im not feeling.
here is the essay that got me in:

I am thrilled to write this letter of application, as it is the first step in a process that may give me the opportunity to study in London. May I introduce myself: Most of my childhood was spent in Canada. During my sophomore year of high school my family moved to Las Vegas. I received scholarship offers from two universities; however, I elected to attend BYU without a scholarship. I am the primary means of my financial support. I work on campus, twenty hours a week during Fall and Winter semesters and fulltime this past summer. My transcript will indicate that I have received above average grades in nearly every class. My parents and grandparents have traveled in England, and places such as Westminster, the Thames, the Lake District and the Cotswolds have become legendary to me. Literature is my passion. Fittingly, I am an English major. English authors, including Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, Jane Austen, Beatrix Potter, and Shakespeare are preeminent among my favorites. I am passionate about the lives of authors. Their history fascinates me. Writing becomes much more personal and intense when one knows the history that molded the outlook and values of the author. I love gaining insight into what events and circumstances shaped each author's life and how their individual histories shine through their writing.

Aside from the general worth of travel, I would benefit from the London experience in three ways. First, I could study authors, literature, and the history of literature more intensely through experiencing the legendary ambient spirit of England and by utilizing the environment in my studies. Second: To be intimately exposed to the general history and institutions that fostered the industrial revolution, the development of our language, and the growth of our Church would be of lasting worth to me. Lastly, I understand that, as participants, we will have the opportunity to serve in the London Wards. England was very significant in defining our early Church, and I eagerly look forward to participating in the gospel effort among English people.

If accepted, I will honestly strive to make a positive contribution to the program: to bring a love for learning, a strong work ethic, and a basic commitment to the educational element of Study Abroad. I believe I can anticipate the challenges of living in a close environment, participating in a programmed itinerary, sharing a room with several girls, washing dishes, working in the kitchen, and maintaining an orderly environment. I look forward to being positive and offering help and friendship. I will do all within my power to make the most of this opportunity.

i know that you all wanted to read that...
haha.
but i am kiiiinda proud of it.
a couple hundred people apply for this program every semester.
and only 50 are chosen
...
and i am totally one of them :]

ps. how funny is that picture? the day after i found out...we happened to walk by a london photo booth at california adventure. i laughed.

mmm.

k so this is kiiiinda cheesy.
but i love the song.
love it love it love it.
i want to learn how to play it.
and lets face it, the cheesy quotes make your heart beat a little faster...


while we're on a twilight high..
here is the newest trailer..
it gives me chills.

five.

five is the number of days until the (potentially) best weekend of my life.
my 3 best friends and I will embark on our californian adventure.
disneyland at halloween is amazing.
the beach in october is bound to be amazing.
our playlist of 448 songs to listen to on the way there is amazing.
the fact that we are going to eat at in n out 15 times is amazing.
we're staying in vegas on thursday night, obviously amazing.
and my friends, you guessed it - amazing.
basically.
this has the potential to be..amazing.

besties.

together we took our first bus ride, of which we both a little scared,

if you think you can handle the two of us... you'd better be prepared.

we've survived the loooong cold winter hours,

sometimes, we even have teleconnetic powers.

we've played on lots of swings and such,

sometimes we study, sometimes not so much

we're not too serious, but we have lots of fun,

we like to wear pajamas that are not two pieces, but rather one.

we tell each other everything,

we like to go to parks - oh what fun they bring!

when it comes down to it all,

whether it is spring or summer or fall,

you'll not be able to find a better pair, no never,

we will be friends forever

we are a brunette and a blond,

with an inseparable bond.

happy.

lucky.

life is amazing.
this is my cute best friend katelyn.
this is what i walk in to every night.
she is always doing math homework.
she has so dang much.
it is RIDICULOUS that two classes should require so much.
seriously.


yes folks, although you may not believe what you are seeing right now..
me and katelyn CHANGED A BREAK LIGHT.
ALLLLL by ourselves.
we figured out what the little orange light on her dashboard meant and why it was lighting up
we went to the store and bought the right kind of light (there were seriously 100 options)
we came home, figured out how to get to the burnt out light bulb
we figured out which wires and bulbs to disconnect
and we screwed in the light.
all by ourselves.
we are truly amazing.

this is (collectively) the best $120 that me and katelyn have EVER spent.
for my birthday, me and my three best friends beth brynn and kate
are going to DISNEYLAND!
i am beyond excited.
its ridiculous.
im giddy.
i love disneyland.
i love love love it.
its my favorite place ever.
mmm.
we leave in 17 days.
yay!


well, this is the closest thing that i have to a picture of what is making my life so amazing right now...
his name is greg.
hes a total stud.
he came to my aunts birthday dinner on sunday
it was fabulous.
i loved having him there.
:]
