We are engaged!!!

I do realize that Aaron and have been engaged for a couple weeks but most people who need this blog found out through me immediately or through Aaron because everyone seemed to be in on the plan. and seeing how Aaron and I have been down this road once before I wasn't sure if it was really necessary for me to blog about it. However seeing how this is definitely the last time i will be engaged i thought is was appropriate for me to tell you all how it happened without Aaron trying to sugar coat it. The other reason I am blogging about it is because I love keeping my amazing cousin Becky in the loop and I know she reads my blog on occasion.
In December Aaron and I had officially been dating for a year! He had a wonderful evening planned. He made reservations fro the roof and we spent the evening walking around temple square looking at the lights just like we did on our first date. well little did he know that two months before I had called the roof to make reservations because i wanted to propose to him that night. i thought it was only fair seeing as he already did it once. Without me ever mentioning anything about my plans he made it very clear that he didn't want me to propose to him because he didn't want to tell his sons for the rest of his life that their mom proposed to their dad. Understanding his view i called the roof and cancelled my reservations. he still doesn't know any of this so keep it on the down low but i guess if I don't want him to find out it probably shouldn't be posted on the world wide web for all to see, oh well. So anyways because I wasn't able to be engaged the day i wanted to I had to wait and wait and wait! It was the longest two months of my life! Once February hit I would cry almost everyday terrified that he didn't want to marry me. He would laugh and say he loves me and to just trust him, he even took me to look at rings! You would think that i would be smart enough to put the two together but no i was just CRAZY!!!! Well even though i wasn't going to be engaged i had an appointment to try on dress at Alta Moda Bridal Salon on February 13th. It was an opportunity I couldn't pass up, there was a truck show going on for Ann Barge's new Spring line and she was going to be there! She never goes to her shows she always sends a rep! So I said i don't care i am going to get a dress by Ann Barge and meet her. Well even though I was so excited about dress shopping I knew they would ask me when I was getting married and i knew i wouldn't have an answer! It made me less excited you wants to try on wedding dresses when they aren't even a bride yet. so weeks went by and i continued to cry because I really wanted to marry Aaron and just get the show on the road but I was really scared that he decided he didn't want to get married yet.
The morning of the 13th came and I had to meet my mom and sister in salt lake at 8am because they wanted to have breakfast before my appointment. My roommates and I both arrive at Mimi's Cafe and when we get there I see my dad, Daniel and Riley all at the table, with 3 dozen roses and 22 beautiful tulips that my mom said my dad brought for her. So I was annoyed by this point because i told Aaron he couldn't come because it was a girls day and here are all these men!!! The light bulb still hadn't gone off. Well as I am sure you all can tell Aaron showed up and gave me a huge hug and had me sit right in front of a large wrapped box and inside that large wrapped box was a small white box! i was so excited because i just knew that my ring was in it, he got down on one knee i opened the box and the ring was taped to the bottom of the box where it said be my valentine, and as Aaron spoke he said" Jaimie will you...be my valentine?" they ring inside was an $8 ring from walmart that i called beautiful because I really believed that was all he could afford, but let me tell you it wasn't beautiful at all! But i acted like I loved it because i only cared that we were getting married. However, Megan chimes in and says "isn't that funny a fake proposal?" yeah i know I am stupid but i looked up and pulled my menu over my face and began to cry, no not cry sob! It was the worst way to start my morning! Well the waitress bring Aaron another box that was intended to be brought out after my dinner but the sobbing was to pathetic that he didn't think he should wait so my dad went to the waitress and told them they would need the box a little sooner than they thought. So after 10 minutes of sobbing behind the menu the waitress was able to get the box out of the safe. he got down on his knee again but i told him if this was a joke it isn't funny and he opened the box and asked if i would marry him with quite a bit of worry in his voice. of course I said yes and the sad tears became happy ones but after I smiled and gave him a kiss i made sure to give a good punch in the arm for being such a guy.
So there you have it! that is how Aaron and I got engaged! My ring is beautiful with an amazing ruby in the center! i promise I will have pictures up as soon as possible.

I am almost there!!!

For those who think I'm nuts I swear I only set a number so i will do it! So don't you fret Cris there wont be any whithering away here. i have officially lost 10 pounds!! woo hoo! and at my dress fitting i was a size four in wedding dress sizes! is that awesome or what? eating healthy really seem to pay off, and i am not as tired and I feel healthy too. Its a miracle! I currently way 130 I am still hoping to loose a little more. When Aaron and I first started dating I weighed 124 but the silly boy stated to feed me. So I would like to weigh at least that much but if my boobs start shrinking then i will have a problem.
Eating healthy has been great but this whole no wheat thing sucks!!!! I cant even have pasta and who want gluten free bread! ummm yuck not me. So has I near my goal weight i have been much happier. which Aaron also likes because this way I don't complain about not looking as pretty as I did when we started dating. I am chugging along and loving but i really miss my bread!

• Current weight 130
• weight left to loose 5-10 pounds!

The best Thanksgiving ever!!!!

For thanksgiving My whole family and Aaron went to Chino Hills, California. We got to do som many fun thing like go to Disneyland, Canters Deli, grabber olive farms, and LA to show Aaron and Whit all the attractions the tourists take part in when they visit our wonderful home!

This is Aaron and I at the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland. We had such a wonderful time, I was so excited to go with Aaron!

And the best part was the Haunted mansion was nightmare before Christmas theme!!!

The castle was finally finished and look how beautiful covered in lights! i was so excited to see it lit! it may be silly but it almost brought me to tears I thought it was so pretty! Ok it was definitely silly but I loved it so much!

We also went to the mans Chinese theater in LA where all the stars have put there hand prints. And I was lucky enough to find one with all the Harry Potter stars! how lucky is that?!

We also went to canters and was the most amazing breakfast/lunch of my life! if you like Reuben, you must go to canters it will make it impossible for you to ever enjoy another Reuben sandwich again!

So that was out thanksgiving! We had a wonderful time visiting and showing Aaron where i grew up, i love chino hills and i hope it doesn't change too much more!

Meet Lola every one!!!

This, My friends is Lola! Yes I did name my care because in my opinion everyone should name there own car! Well at least girls, it would be a little weird if a guy named his car Lola. Maybe even a little creepy! Now that I think of it only girls should name their car. Now if it was boat that would be different. Anyways back to Lola, She is a red SX4 Crossover with AWD.

This is my key. It is a smartpass so all you need to have it in the cup holder and you don't need to put the key in the ignition to turn it on its so awesome!!!

It also has fog lights!!! Cool huh?!

I also have a GPS system with bluetooth!!!!

It also has a six CD player and even the stereo is cute!!!

And here is my steering wheel with all the cool nifty gadgets!!!

We are still alive.

For the few people who actually read this blog I thought I would let you know that Aaron and I are still alive and since the only people I believe to read any of the silly things that have been written here are family members, I assume you are already aware of our well being. I don't really have a point for this blog anymore but since I am too big of a lazy butt to get rid of it, I have decided to use it. I think i have actually decided to do something that takes more time than just quickly erasing the blog. Oh well i never said my choice made sense.
As i sit in the computer lab at school and decide to spend time writing a blog than reading a 700 page book that needs to be finished by Tuesday along with a 7 page paper. I realize that my fellow students are quite odd. one girl who is still sporting her Hogi Yogi visor with pride while she chows down on a twelve inch sandwich in her hand and some how is able to type with the other hand without getting whatever disgusting smelly sauce she has on her sandwich all over the computer. I must say i am impress at her devotion both to her food and what ever she is doing on the computer, my guess would be facebook. I have noticed that every person in the lab is either on facebook or YouTube. Every few minutes a notice will pop up on every ones computer saying "If you are not doing any school related work we ask you to leave." I am so happy to know that I am not the only liar that ignores the message and keeps on browsing the web until my next class, which unfortunately isn't for another 2 hours.
The guy in the computer next to me keeps peaking his head over my monitor and as soon as i look up and notice him he ducks right back down. Its a little creepy actually, who knows maybe there is something on my face.
If anyone ever is looking for some good people watching they could just come to UVU and sit in the halls all day wondering if someone is a guy or a girl. As i say how odd my fellow students are I can only imagine they are saying the same about me, as I wear shirt that is perfect for fall because it sadly resembles a pumpkin or squash, which ever you prefer really. Aaron being the sweety that he is says its a pumpkin shirt in October and a squash the other 11 months of the year. I was tempted to make some sort of stem and leaf for a hat for Halloween. It would have been one of the cheapest costume, but since i wear the shirt on days besides October 31st I decided against it so it wouldn't be forever known as the pumpkin shirt. Unfortunately I fear it has already received the reputation from teasing and from the fact that it is now on the world wide web.
For all those who may take this post seriously I ask you not to. This is all just bored rambling to help me entertain myself and if i entertain others in the process then good on me right? and I assure you i mean half of it, well maybe more I don't know I am undecided. I will post of few pictures of Aaron and I on here seeing as how the blog was intended for us. I will probably begin to update you on our fun happenings and all that jazz, but until then i say goodbye!

Festival of colors

Aaron and I went to the festival of Colors. It was so fun to see all the beautiful colors of chalk go up at once. Aaron and I weren't able to get any chalk sadly so we decided to sit back and just watch. So i thought I would show you all some of the fun pictures we took.This picture was taken right outside the temple. It was so nice outside. i cant remember the last time I could wear short sleaves without freezing.

We had to take our shoes off to go inside the temple. As soon as you walked in you could smell the amazing looking food! I wanted some so bad but we already had dinner plans with my family. :( And then people start to through the colors!

There was so many color I couldnt believe it! With all the chalk in the air it was hard to breath but it was so fun to watch everything. I was so surprised to see people with babies down where all the chalk was being thrown I though that people would think but I guess not everyone uses their brain as regularly as they should.
