Wedding Plans and Concerts

This month has been super crazy! I started work at the girl scout camp and haven't had much time since. The week is going pretty well compared to the past few weeks. We're starting to get the hang of things in the kitchen and it's been getting better. Nick and I have gotten a lot done on the weekends for the wedding but we also got to go to a Cake concert in Salt Lake last weekend. It was a ton of fun at the concert as it's one of our favorite bands. We got to register at Target and Kohl's this past weekend and had a lot of fun with the little scanner around the stores. Things have been going really well and I'm getting really excited for the wedding in less than two months. We have most of our engagement pictures done and our invites ordered! This summer is going by pretty fast thankfully. :-)

Employed!

Well, I am employed once again. This time it is a summer position at the other Utah Girl Scout's Camp. This time I am not going to be a counselor though, I am going to be the head cook. Which is awesome for me since I am wanting to go into nutrition and all. It is a great opportunity and I'm excited to start that tomorrow morning! If I don't answer my phone the next few months during the week, now you know why. Just leave me a message and I'll call you when I've got a minute or on the weekends when I've got better service. Anyway, I am looking forward to this summer and the end of it when Nick and I get married! It will be hectic and slightly stressful I'm sure at times, but overall I'm looking forward to just about everything the next few months.

The Proposal

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! :-)
