Chase and I made a new blog together to keep everyone updated on our marriage-to-be! We'll be posting on here too:

Will you marry me? ...Is that a yes?! YES!!!!

Chase and I are engaged!!

He proposed in Bellingham, Washington while on vacation at my family's beach house. It was last Sunday, August 2nd, which is also the day I was baptized so he picked a good date ;) I was totally caught off guard; he's very sneaky. He told me the ring wasn't ready yet and wouldn't be ready until the end of August. He flew up to Washington on Sunday morning, where on his flight the flight attendants knew he was going to propose and passed out napkins and pens for all of the passengers to write down some marital advice for us. He then asked my parents for permission after dinner and proposed that night. He acted like the talk with my parents hadn't gone well so he wanted to go on a walk. Once again, sneaky had tricked me and went into a lovey-dovey speech where at this point I was a little confused but when he got down on one knee, pulled out the biggest ring I've ever seen in my life and asked me to marry him...I finally put two and two together. We're getting married in the Washington D.C. temple this winter! It's a dream come true. I've never been happier or more in love.

Seminary. Even years later, every time I have to get up when it's still dark out, I get that headache of my body telling me 'please go back to sleep' and always think of early morning seminary. You know you can hear a song and it reminds you of someone or you see a Cookies'n'Creme Hershey's bar and it triggers a memory? That's my relationship between waking up and Seminary.

I only mention this because I was reading this blog, Stuff BYU People Like, and #2 is the debate between 'release time' or 'early morning' seminary students. I was an early morning girl. Here's how the blog describes us:

"Early Morning Seminary is something else. The high school student has to set an alarm for 4:30 AM so he can push snooze 6 times before dragging his Mormon behind to a freezing cold church. When he finally arrives he gets to fight the urge to use his scriptures as a pillow as the teacher (probably a parent of one of the kids in the class) struggles to teach Scripture Mastery to zombies. "

This was scary because I fit into the stereotype description perfectly. I was the president of the council, my younger brother yelled at me during the winter when I refused to scrape my windshield and instead made him stick his head out his window, I tried to get away with doing home study and my dad was the teacher.

In my defense I fought HARD for that home study program.

So You Think You Can Dance Tour 2009

A few days ago Chase told me he had a surprise for me. I have been SO excited and today I got an envelope in the mail from him full of cut-out letters. None in the same font, all cut separately so I couldn't piece them together. BUT with some hints (most ended up being fake..) and some help from my word-puzzle loving family members I figured it out!

I have the BEST boyfriend in the world!!

You cheerleada?

My friend showed this to me and I had to share. This is EXACTLY like my squad in high school. Well, maybe a little cooler than our wolf-walls and inverted pyramids...

Average at BYU

A 3.82 GPA and a 28 on the ACT.

So what is BYU life like?

This is our news:

July 14: Sprinklers in the WIDB failed to turn off and flooded the basement of the building.

July 12: A couple took their dog into the JRCB. A custodian told them dogs are not allowed in the building.

June 25: Graffiti was found at the bus stop next to the law library. The phrase “There are angels among us” was written in black permanent marker.

June 4: A moose was loose on campus so police called the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. Officials came and tranquilized the moose. However, before going down the moose damaged two vehicles in the parking lot across from the SAS Building.
May 29: A urinal in the men’s restroom in the TMCB was torn from the wall. There are no suspects.
May 22: A suspicious bald male was seen yelling and acting confused at Wymount Terrace. Police located the individual and discovered he was a resident who was yelling because other people were yelling. No charges or citations were made.

What about the students?

Our Urban Dictionary definition:

"The stereotypical BYU girl has a bubble haircut, wears a plain, modest t-shirt or button up collared shirt with either a long skirt or jeans, and wears Doc Martens sandals. She has very straight hair and perfect makeup, and smiles sweetly to everyone. She enters the establishment at the age of 18, is engaged by 19 to a returned missionary (R.M.), and generally leaves school to raise a family.
The stereotypical BYU boy is a freshman at the age of 21, having just returned from a mission, and has a short, parted hairstyle. He wears polos and chino pants with loafers. He dates prolifically until he finds his eternal companion, and weds quickly (typical engagements lasting 2 months).
Provo, Utah is also referred to as the "bubble" because of its traditionally close-minded, conservative atmosphere and general self-righteous attitude."

Ouch.

Sorry Urban Dictionary, I don't see a lot of Doc Martens or chino pants here.

Guess we're just the exception.

I can't wait for a new semester :)
