My Ring!

I'm so excited, I finally got my engagement ring! Totally worth the wait! :D Jake's mom had been saving a diamond and we were lucky enough to get it :) Its so sparkly!

Wedding Plans!

So, I'm being a little nuts about the wedding plans. Only in the sense that I'm just about done and have been engaged for about 12 days now. :) I'm very happy that I'll be able to relax the next couple months though. For friends and family who haven't already heard or received a phone call from us. The wedding is February 12th. I'll keep everyone posted as things progress. :D

I'm getting married!!!

Jake and I have been dating for almost a year and a half. Last night he took me out for sushi. After a short walk around the Riverwoods in Provo, we stopped on a bridge to decide what we were going to do for the rest of the night. Previous to this we had talked about marriage and I had been waiting for Jake to ask my Dad. I wasn't expecting him to do this for at least another month. Little did I know he had already asked my Dad the Tuesday before. After standing on the little bridge for a while talking about ideas for the evening, I gave him a hug and told him I loved him. "Enough to marry me?" he asked. He then pulled out a diamond necklace and asked me to marry him. After alot of jumping around, smiling, squealing and one "are you serious?!" I finally said "YES!!!"
We got back in the car and headed up to my parents. On the way I called my brother and sister-in-law in Philadelphia to tell them the news. When we got to my parents house I found out that My mom, Dad, and Ryan already knew! Jake wanted to make sure that I got exactly the ring I wanted, thats why the diamond necklace. So Jake and I went ring shopping today and picked out the wedding bands for the engagement ring. There are still some details that need to be worked out on the engagement ring. We haven't set a date yet but are thinking sometime in the Spring. I don't think I've ever been so happy in my life. He's an amazing man and I couldn't ask for a better person to spend the rest of my life with! :)

East Coast Trip!

So Jake and I went on a trip to NYC, Philly, and Pittsburgh. It was So much fun! We went for about ten days. We were able to see his parents, My brother and Sister-in-law, and see where Jake grew up. The flight to NYC was way too long. There was a ground hold on JFK so we ended up circling just outside NYC until we had to land in Scranton to refuel. We finally got there and it was still fun :) We went to the Met, Central Park and Drove through down town NYC. Then we rode a train to Philly where Colby picked us up. It was great to see Colby, Alyssa, and Lincoln. We saw the Liberty bell & Independence Hall, Valley Forge, and the USS New Jersey.

Then we flew to Pittsburgh. I got to see where Jake grew up and all the yummy places to eat. :) I went to H&M for the first time, was pretty cool. We rode the incline and saw a great view of Pittsburgh. Jake took me to dinner at a place called the Church Brew Works. Its a church that they turned into a restaurant. I had Kobe Beef for the first time and it was amazing :) We went to the Carnegie Museum. Jake and I had a great trip. :) Jake's blog is way more detailed and has more pictures. Hope he doesn't mind ;)

Jenna Marie

I decided I haven't taken any new pictures lately. So I talked Jenna into modeling for me. She's such a beautiful girl! :)







While Jenna and I were talking about what to have her wear, Zoey decided she wanted to find something else to wear also. Here's what she found. :) a baby blue knit beanie (that she kept pulled down WAY over her eyes except for in the picture), pink leggings, purple socks, brown shoes, and a black pearl necklace. She's so funny! :)
