Well, it's official. Craig & I are engaged!!! It happened last night & it was so sweet. Here's how the day unfolded:
First of all I was sick. Craig came & took care of me & took me to the doctor. He dropped me off at home after my appointment & "went to see his parents." At least that's what he told me. Little did I know he was running another kind of errand.
I was sleeping on the couch when there was a knock at the door. I groggily answered the door to see Craig who brought me Gatorade and Dawson's Creek (I was missing the 6th season).
Then he went back out to the car & came in with a dozen roses:
8 yellow ones for the 8 hours we spent talking the very first time we hung out
3 red roses for the 3 months we had been dating
1 white rose for the eternity we would spend together.
He got on one knee and asked me to marry him.
Of course I said yes, through my tears. It was the sweetest thing ever.
I'm really excited. I could not ask for a better fiance. He's truly the love of my life. He is such an amazing man. I'm look forward to a wonderful life & eternity with him.
Wedding updates to follow regularly.

Blogging
So I'm new to blogging, but it seems to be a good way to keep a journal. I'm so bad about doing that. Plus it's fun to keep up with my friends & what they are doing.
Life is so good right now:
Cool house, GREAT boyfriend, good job, awesome friends. It doesn't get much better. School is going pretty well considering it's been 4 years since I've been. Nothing like jumping right back in, right? Right!
Life after a mission is an interesting thing, but I think I'm slowly figuring it out. I've been home for 10 months now. My last companion comes home in 4 weeks. Talk about how time flies. Companions and DL's are getting married & life is just wizzing by. Sometimes I sit & think about how life was less complicated on a mission. But as uncomplicated as it might have seemed compared to "real" life, I wouldn't trade real life for anything in the world. I learned so much about myself on my mission, and continue to learn about myself in the "real" world.
This will be fun. This whole blogging thing. I think I could get used to it.
