Roommate Reunion

It was so wonderful to see all you again. I love to see how much we have all changed and grown. Thank you for the wonderful night. I am so glad that all you finally got to meet my dream guy. :) I love you guys.

Roller Blading!

So I am an official Roller Blader! Tyler has been talking about it for a couple of weeks trying to convince me. I have not done it since I was 12 so I can't honestly remember how to do it. So we went to Deleta and took Ang's kids and we rented roller blades. It was actually easier than roller skating. I told Tyler this and he takes this as okay lets go buy some. I was a little hesitant because everyone knows that once you buy you are committed and I did not know if I liked it that much. We went shopping one night for them and within 30 minutes and only 2 stores we both had a pair of new roller blades. I did not know what I was getting myself into. As most of you know I have extreme athletic ability. :) ha ha ha. So we went to Jensen's grove to try out the short mile green belt. It actually was not that bad. My shins and hips started to burn and my fingers got a little cold from the wonderful spring weather we have, but I did not even fall down! I was pretty proud of myself. The bridge was a little difficult. It was a good thing that there were railings that I could inch myself along with. :)
Now Tyler wants to go everyday and eventually go around the long green belt which is 8 miles long! I don't know about that one, but the short 1 mile was is fun. Except for the wind blowing against you makes you work a little harder. :) Tyler also seems to think that practice will make me get better. I had to inform him that it is probably not in my cards to get good at anything athletic. It is fun, but I will probably not get much better than I am right now. :) He doesn't make me feel like I am that bad, which is good. He is so positive and makes me feel like I can do anything that I want. I guess that makes him a perfect match for me. He plays with me, makes me laugh, and makes me feel and want to be better. He says that I do the same for him. :) This must be meant to be. :)

Falling!

Today is one of those days when I watch Tyler and I fall for him even more. He helped me make dinner with the family and then helped clean up. Then he played with my nieces and nephews and loved it. This is the exact kind of guy that I want to spend the rest of my life with. He is going to to be a great dad. Also he goes home and does his homework. I really like how ambitious he is. He is progressing himself without me kicking him in the butt every day to do it. I can't wait until I marry him. We are going to have so much fun and be really happy. He really does match me. I never feel belittled or disrespected. I feel loved and cared about, he accepts me the way I am. He wants to see me every day and misses me too. But he still gets things done when he needs too. I am pretty much the luckiest person in the world. I really feel blessed that God helped me find him. This is one of those perfect moments of my life that I will always remember. :)

Temple!

My brother Coulson got his mission call a couple of weeks ago to the Cherry Hill New Jersey mission. He is going to be speaking spanish. He is really excited. I am so proud of him. He went through the temple yesterday, and I got to go with him. So we both learned a lot have a lot of adjusting to do. :) The temple is pretty awesome.

Funny couple!

As most of you know I have an overactive mind and think about everything and anything. Even when I am spacing off I still thinking about something. :) I am learning so much about the difference between the minds of men and women. Tyler has a nothing box. This is a new thing to me. I had no idea it existed. When he says he is thinking about nothing he really is serious. But then it makes me question how many brain waves are in the nothing box. :)

Tyler is extremely competitive in everything he does. He makes me laugh really hard. It makes him so mad that he can't beat me at any card game. But on the other hand he can beat me at every sport. So I guess we even each other out. I love how he is just himself all of the time, he does what he wants when he wants. That was one of the things that he said he loved about me when we first met. He tells me his favorite feature of mine is my smile. He is so kind and loving. I am trying to learn compassion and sympathy from him. He has more than I could ever imagine. He always gives people the benefit of the doubt. He is an awesome friend to everyone. I need to learn how to do that better. :)

I asked him what kind of couple we will be. He told me that we would be a funny one because people will laugh at us all the time. I think I agree. I can't wait to marry him. We are going to have so much fun. :)

Compromise. :)

Sorry it has been so long since I have updated this thing. Tyler and I are getting to know each other more and more by the day. Tyler has all of our furniture picked out, since he works at Blacker's furniture. We got a king size bed for a killer deal. It is so soft. I am excited to sleep on it. Also there are some love seats and recliners that look nice. :) I want to go the cheaper route for a while and then get something else when he is done with school. Also Tyler has a big TV with 16 speakers on it picked out. I personally don't need a big TV. I rarely watch the thing, maybe we will come to a compromise soon.

So I love to have conversations and share thoughts and Tyler does not love that as much. But Tyler on the other hand loves playing any kind of sport and I do not love that so much. So we made a deal that if he tries to talk to me more then I will try to play more sports with him. It has been working pretty well so far. I have learned how to play racket ball so far. He says that I am not bad. I just need to hit it like I mean it. I am working on meaning it and not being afraid of the ball. Also he says that when I hit the ball I close my eyes. It might help if I open my eyes, I will work on that. :)

In LOVE!

Okay so I know it has been a very long time since I have posted. I have been a little preoccupied getting to know a fabulous man. His name is Tyler Wood. He is going to ISU to become a nurse then he wants to be a nurseathesistist. So it is a few years down the road, but he is ambitious and self motivated so I am happy with it. He is awesome with kids and loves to play. I finally don't have to be the source of entertainment! lol He treats me like gold, and for the first time I don't have to try to like him. It is so easy. I finally know what everyone is talking about with just knowing. :)
OH did I mention that he asked me to marry him on December 21st? It was a complete suprise. He called my boss and had her pull me out of class while he set up. When I returned, he had all my students holding a letter to spell WILL YOU MARRY ME?!?! Then he came over and got on one knee and asked me with a very pretty ring. I said yes of course. I have never been so happy. My life is just falling into place.
It is funny how when you stop looking for all the right things to happen in your life and just move on and do the things that the Lord wants you to, then the Lord sends you the things that you long for the most. Everything just falls into place and it is so easy. :)
I will post pictures soon. :)
