the latest and greatest...

Today was intense, but very fun. It started a little rough around the edges, but we got through it and started having a real fun day. We decided that the waterfall we had attempted to climb already was a good call and we headed up the canyon. On the way we hit the nearest ROSS in search for some cute stuff. We soon learned that Us+Shopping=Bad News. So we shopped till we dropped, stopped by pet co and pretended to buy something for "oliver" our future puppy, and then headed up to the waterfall. Chris fell in love with the camera during our photo shoot, and we froze our little tootsies off. We had a awesome day, and to top it off... CHRIS WON ME A TEDDY BEAR. HAHA those claw machines need to be out of sight when he's around. HE LOVES THEM. But really I was cracking up when he won that bear.... I have NEVER seen anyone actually win one of those thing. NICE SKILLS CHRISTOPHER. :) you make me proud...

SURPRISE

Thumbs up...;)

(saying goobye)

Yep, I guessed it....he stayed, he stayed! Monday night we were both pretty sad about the fact that we only had two more days together. Then suddenly out of nowhere on Tuesday night, Chris was a happy little camper. I knew something was up, but I still wanted the so called "surprise" to be a surprise. I was soooooo hoping and praying that my "surprise" would be Chris for another week or month, but I tried not to get my hopes up too high. We sat up on the mtn, and I tried to get it out of him, but he held his ground and wouldn't tell me anything. Then the next morning when I had to drop him off at the airport, it started to sink in. Although I was devastated that I would have to wait A MONTH TO SEE HIM, I couldn't help but smile knowing that this is the beginning for us. :) WELL THE STORY DOESN'T END HERE... I got to work, was feeling pretty sad that he wasn't gonna be there to pick me up at the end of the day like he usually did, then my family called and asked me if I was doing okay. We decided to go to lunch cause they were in the area doing some shopping. When we got to cafe Rio, I saw Jorgen and had a tiny bit of hope that Chris would be there with him. When I didn't see him, I got a yucky feeling in my stomach. As I was texting Christoper, telling him that I miss him and that I hope he has a good day, I looked to my right and there he was. MY HEART DROPPED TO THE FLOOR, AND I WAS INSTANTLY HAPPY AGAIN. There was my love, standing there with 2DOZEN red roses. The smile that has constantly been on my face will now continue to remain there for 5 more days. :)

chris.... I PROMISE!

makin more memories... (3 pts...woo woo)

Okay, so pretty much Chris and I would both agree that this weekend has been the best, most refreshing weekend of our lives. We met at a WEDDinG, then he flew across the US not even knowing me or the family he was going to be staying with. Something in his voice made me trust my heart, so we took the chance. He flew in on Thursday of last week and we have not left each others site ever since. CHRIS YOU ARE ABSOLUTLY AMAZING, I couldn't have asked for more. We have had so much fun together, and both know that this is just the beginning. :)

He will be here on Thursday for you to meet him in person... family, friends... anyone who is curious! hahah he wants to meet anyone and everyone who has had an impact on my life. He is seriously everything I have ever dreamed of, and I know that this is gonna be the beginning of a very exciting life for me. Chris is an answer to my prayers, mannn he's so cute. :)

THIS WAS THE FREAKIN CREEPIEST HE/SHE I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS. (highlighted in color)

I WANT TO GO BACK RIGHT NOW.... ENOUGH SAID.

A wedding I will never forget.....

I can't begin to explain how amazing I feel at this very moment. My heart is beating out of my chest. I have received answers to prayers I never thought would be answered. I feel so blessed to know what I know in this religion and to have been raised the way my parents raised me. I am blessed to have grown up with brothers and sisters who became my best friends, and showed me so much by the examples they have set for me. I AM TRULY BLESSED. Sara was a girl I met while in Illinois last summer. I was able to connect with her quickly and knew instantly we were meant to meet. If anyone was destined to be my best friend, it was her, and quickly we became each others go to girl. After not even a year of knowing her, I was able to keep a promise to her that I made the day we were leaving Illinois, that I would be there at her wedding. At the time that was unrealistic, and I didn't know if it would even be a possibility, but when she called a few weeks ago to ask if I would be a bridesmaid, I couldn't refuse. What a honor, to be there for her on this special day. And it was. I flew out there and was able to help her prepare for the MOST CHILL wedding ever planned. Her friend bailed and told her she could no longer do her hair, and she was stressing about how she would do it. I agreed to help her, and it ended up being a huge success. She was a beautiful bride, and Tyson knew he was the luckiest man on the earth to marry such an amazing woman. The wedding was perfect, we stood in the water (with nasty freakin crabs) while two people decided to spend the rest of their lives together. There were many tears of happiness, and so much love all around. I can truly say that although it wasn't an LDS wedding, and I was the only Mormon in sight, the spirit was all around. I met some amazing people along the way, and have a strange feeling that I knew them before. I plan to go back soon, and feel that there will be some amazing changes in the lives of the people I met, along with some amazing changes in my own life. OH AND I CAUGHT THE BOUQUET ... ;)

a day at the beach

Matt and I spent this beautiful day at the beach loving every moment of it. We saw some creepers, and some sweet treasure hunters. Matt, you will never know what he found. hahah how does that make you feel?? lol well we had a blast in Ft. LAuderdale, and I am coming upon an end to my lovely vacation. Sara gets married tomorrow night at the beach, then my plane flys in tomorrow evening. To all those I miss back home dearly, I love you and willl see you so soon. Mwah
