New Addition to our family!

Lindsey has been BEGGING me to update my blog, and while I don't have any lovely pictures yet, I guess I can update things. I got married since my last post. My parents moved to Israel, and Jason and I are housesitting while they are gone. We have pulled out the fitzers and rearranged the furniture. Jason and I are happy being sunbeam teachers, and we enjoy the funny things the kids say each week.

Yesterday was my 20th birthday, and it was wonderful! Jason was super sweet and I loved my presents from him: a beautiful green plant and a piano book by Jon Schmidt (one of my favorites to play!) He then took me to Wingers and we had a lovely night.

Today, I had a girls day with Janessa and Alaina! Wahoo! It was so stinkin fun and I love my turtle friends!

Finally, We have 3 new additions to our family. Our cat Trixie had kittens this morning. I walked outside, getting ready to leave for work and she was walking quite awkwardly so I put her in a box then she delivered the first kitten. When I got home she had delivered 3 more. Sadly, one didn't survive. But we're happy to have them in our family and I couldn't be happier to finally have kittens again. (That was a very fun birthday present!)

My World is Being Invaded! (And I've never been happier!)

I have had some requests for more of a top view of my ring... so here you go. But honestly, I love Jason beyond everything else, and I'm excited to spend all eternity with him!

So, I will have to share my own little world with the most wonderful man ever! Jason proposed to me yesterday evening!!!!!! I have honestly never been happier than on that mountain with him! It was the best night of my life. We hiked up to a waterfall behind his house. I had absolutely no idea because we have gone on hikes before. We were just goofing off and trying to find his dad's Geo-Cache. We picked a rock to watch the sunset and were talking. Then he stood up and then got on one knee and proposed to me! It was amazing!

Jason and I at my parents' house. My mom wanted to take a picture of the couple!

This is us on the mountain moments after Jason popped the question! I was so excited when he got down on one knee...

Us on the mountain again... it was a perfect night! I wouldn't have changed a thing.

This is my gorgeous ring. I am so spoiled! Jason picked a great ring and I was thrilled!

This is also us on the mountain with the sunset in the background!

Pumpkin Golf

Last night as a ward, I thought it would be fun to carve pumpkins and then golf into them. It was a lot of fun to do that with the ward and everyone who played seemed to have a lot of fun. Jason and I carved our first pumpkin together! It was so fun, and ours was clearly the best! It was fun to have pumpkins that were smooth as well as ones with "warts" on them because it gave them character and an extra ghoulish look. It was a fun night!

New Hair

I went down to Salt Lake yesterday to visit Mindy and Adam. Mindy dyed my hair and "added a little depth." Anyway, I had a lot of fun just visiting my family and then going to dinner with my brother and sister. I enjoyed the day!

Back to School Tradition

Every year before school starts we have the tradition of going to the campground and taking pictures. This year Jason was able to come up and we took pictures together! It was a lot of fun and these are some of my favorite pictures that we took.

Jason's Family Reunion and the Box Elder Fair

Jason's family (the Hanson side) had a reuinion that we were able to go to. It was nice to meet some of Jason's family and see the ones I already knew. They are pretty funny and it was a lot of fun to spend time with them. I really like his Aunt Julie... she told me that if Jason doesn't marry me then she will find someone else to take care of me which I thought was funny.


Then Jason and I went to the Box Elder Rodeo and had a lot of fun watching the horses and classic rodeo events... we then went to the carnival and rode on the Ferris Wheel. That was a lot of fun.

We had some left over tickets and Jason told me to go down the Giant Slide... I never had before and that was a lot of fun to go down it.

Night of the Receptions

Jason and I both had friends that held receptions on the 22nd of August. Corey and Cassie Jensen (Jason worked with Cassie) and my cousin and best friend Lindsey and Aaron Troyer. It was a bit hectic to get from Brigham to Centerville to make both of them but it was a good night. I enjoyed being able to spend time with Jason and my family as well.
