Yep, Nick and I are officially engaged now.
Saturday we went for a ride up in his dad's plane (His dad piloted). We weren't sure if we were going to be able to because it was really cloudy and rainy that morning, but early afternoon rolled around and we got some nice weather right around provo-orem valley. We filled up the tank on the plane and it stalled for a bit on the runway. They thought I was going to be nervous after that, but stuff like that doesn't make me nervous and we just went right up after it started. His dad did a couple touch and go's at first to practice taking off and landing in his plane. Then we circled above the lake for a few minutes and they decided to try and find their house over in provo. So we found their house and Nick said "oh look, see our tennis court". I just nodded and said "yep, I see it." Then they suggested we fly over it again and text his mom to see if they could see us. So we circled again and they asked again if I could see the tennis court. I said I definietly could see it and they kept pointing to it and asking about the tennis court. I just acknowledged that yes I saw the tennis court. Well, we started heading back to the provo airport and Nick, a little disappointed, noted that I was supposed to be able to see the sign he had made on the tennis court and that it had said "Will you marry me?" And then he whipped out the ring, I said yes, and we snapped a few pictures up in the plane before we landed. A few funny things to note from this proposal story is that I was already suspecting that he was going to propose in the plane that day, and the sign he had made was at most 3 feet wide for the lettering and just about as wide as the tennis court's net. It was green and maroon, on a green and maroon tennis court. I teased him about that once we got to his house and we looked at it. We both just laughed at each other about it. It was a really fun day and terrific weekend as I stayed at his house from Friday night to Tuesday afternoon.
And the date is August 20th. So just about three months away! :-)

Pictures!
This week has been really great. Nick and I finally got around to taking some pictures of us together when I came down to his house from Thursday to Friday. We went for a walk to the park Thursday night and Friday we went to Ikea because he had never been there and also went to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple together. Then we came back and hung out at his house with his family for a bit. We've been having lots of fun.
So here are a few of the pictures for you guys who haven't seen them on facebook already...

Summer Time
Ohh summer! It has been great to be done with school and catch a break from books!
Last week after I got back home I finally tackled my room and organized it all. It has been a mess full of boxes since last Memorial Day when we went for a trip to Arizona and our basement flooded while we were gone. I've been putting it off and off because I couldn't find (or make) time to do it. All Saturday though I was determined to get it all organized and it looks great now! I loveeeee having it all clean.
Sunday night Nick got back from a family trip to Moab and then came up here. He stayed at our house til this morning and we've had a ton of fun. I went and applied to a job at a daycare yesterday. It's with the babies and one year olds again, just a different place than last time but I'm feeling pretty confident. I'll let you all know if I get it or not. I interview tomorrow. After I filled out the application at that daycare, we then went and had a picnic at the park down the street from us. There was a seagull who decided to join us too and I think it must've been disappointed when it didn't get any food out of us. After that we went over to the Hill Aerospace Museum. For one - it's free. For two - He used to want to be a pilot when he was little. So, it was great. I had been there once before for a young singles activity in our ward and it's a pretty cool place. We drove around a bit, checked out some deals at a nearby closing blockbuster and then came back to the house. He left today to be back down in Provo for his job.
Anyway, this summer is going to be a ton of fun and we're also planning to go down to Arizona next week so I will for sure post some pictures of that after we're back for sure.
