December 25th in his eyes

Christmas morning started off different for me... I knew I was going to propose to the woman I was completely in love with.  Although I was certain she would say yes (from the fact of her reminding me constantly to do it) I had never been more nervous and anxious in my entire life!  My proposal plan was in the christmas gift.  I got her a snow globe with our pictures inside of it and a recorded voice that popped the question.  As that would happen I would kneel down with the ring and she would immediately say yes. I was praying that all would be well...There was only one thing on my mind that day, what would happen in the entire minute of that proposal.

When we arrived to the Roseman's home, I tried to find a time when I could talk to Sarah's dad Kelly to ask permission to marry his daughter. When the moment arrived for that, he was in the garage looking for things. As I was about to ask, Sarah walked in and saw us and immediately shut the door. I thought she knew exactly what I was up to... Later would I find out that she just didn't want to help look. HA  As soon as i asked him he immediately said absolutely. He had one thing to say... If you get married, stay married. As he said that 2 things happened to me... 1) half the nerves went away from asking the future father-in-law.... and 2) When he said his advice, I knew what was going to happen that day was exactly what I wanted and knew it was right. It was just another confirmation to me.

So, as we began opening presents Brian starts handing out gifts... about 1/4 of the way in, Brian grabs the present for her. I thought oh no! Its not the right time. He examines the bag and sees no label for who its to and sets it on the table and moves on... That was close!

Getting close to the end, that gift finally gets around to sarah. My palms are sweaty, I feel sick, and yet I'm so stoked to finally be engaged to Sarah. She opens the gift and loves it and i realize she has no idea.. Then she presses that play button on that snow globe. Everything went perfectly according to plan... except the immediate "yes" answer... Her facial expression showed so much shock that I don't think she remembered she needed to reply.  She clasped her hands to her face and started crying and then came and hugged me! I took that as the yes, but luckily I had Sarah's mom Sherrie to remind her to about that question... SHE SAID YES!!

Its been 4 days since and my head is still in the clouds... nothing feels more right... I have never been happier...

Laughter is the Best Medicine

I was really looking forward to "labor" on Labor Day. Michael and my mom were scheduled to work this holiday too which was great because that means meeting up for lunch and enjoying 30 minutes together. It's like our version of verbal communication therapy. Also, holiday pay is a great incentive for me to want to work. However, the census on the floor has been really low so many employees have been getting called off. Well Sunday night rolls around and guess what? I got put on-call. I asked Mike why he thought our census was so low right now. He replied "The hospital needs to quit telling people to get healthy!" My husband ladies and gentlemen; the problem solver. Yesterday Michael went to shoot guns with his mom. I had a lot of homework to get caught up/get ahead on so I stayed home. Later in the night I was asking how it went and when it got to the part where he was telling me about the guns he used, he mentioned using a revolver. I knew I had heard the word...

Honeymoon-ing!

I have been really excited to write this post! It's about the destination of our honeymoon! Some of you knew and some of you didn't.... but I sure didn't know where we were going for our honeymoon! Michael planned it all and kept it a surprise for me!  So picking up where my last blog left off, we drove away from our reception as the sun was setting. I didn't even know where Mike was taking me! It's quite an exciting adventure to get in a car with your new husband and have no idea where you are going! Plus it was an added treat to have everybody smile and wave at our decorated car and my fluffy dress occupying the passenger seat on our way. ;)  We got onto the northbound entrance as Michael told me we were going to Anniversary Inn in Salt Lake City! I was really excited to actually stay in the city and stay at Anniversary Inn. My parents and siblings have stayed there before and it was somewhere I have always wanted to spend the night. It was perfect for...

Be where your feet are...

A couple weeks ago I spent a night watching several "I'm a mormon" videos (Visit " here " to see the website). One phrase particularly stood out to me. She said "Be where your feet are." I have repeated it to myself over the last few weeks and I am living by this motto. It essentially means that you don't need to worry about the past or even worry about the future... be where your feet are... in this current moment. I must admit I am guilty when it comes to planning every second of the month(s) and evaluate the last month(s). However, I have changed my outlook on life. It is no secret about the amount of stress I have been under. Between nursing school and having class 4 days a week and working the other 3 AND planning the wedding, It gets stressful... but now is the time to embrace it!  I have come to really enjoy life as an engaged couple. Michael and I have so much fun together and I am amazed at how much he can accomplish in one day! He is ...
