My man is A-mazing!!

Recently Deseret News and Mormon Times have both been interested in David both on and off the court. Lets face it, he's amazing at basketball and being a spiritual leader.

Here are the links to the articles for you to read at your leisure:
Deseret News

Mormon Times
This one actually mentions me, the just got their facts a bit off about me going to University of California San Diego

Its hard not to be impressed and proud of him, I really lucked out!

100 days until the wedding as of today... woop woop!

3 weeks ago this happened...

To read more about the story go to our wedding website here
Follow the link to "our story" and the proposal story is the last one on the page. I'm saving myself from carpal tunnel by directing you there. You can also peruse around the rest of the site for more fun.

Here are some pictures from after I said yes:

My hands aren't very pretty but here is a picture of the beautiful ring:



Here are a few of us enjoying our lovely moment we just had:




And of course one final photo of us just being us:

The Greatest of News!!

If you haven't heard already... David proposed Friday night (the 18th) and of course I said YES!

Story and pictures to come soon I just couldn't wait to post how happy I am.

David has the pictures and the video on his camera so it will have to wait until I get back to Utah to get it from him (I'm in Hollister for Christmas). Yep, I left my new fiance 12 hours after I said goodnight the night he proposed. I already broke down missing him today.

Anyway... be so happy for me I'm getting married!! It will be in May sometime... exact date and countdown widget to come soon as well.

EEEE yay! Now to try to get some sleep....

So Proud

David is quite a force to be reckoned with on the court. While the team may be a little inconsistent in their wins and losses, he is consistently a defensive threat. You know you're a force when a team has to change their offense because of you.

Last week he smashed the school record for single game blocks. It was 7, he got 10! He is well on his way to also breaking the single season blocks.

I just love watching him play, not only because I can't take my eyes off him normally, but because he is just really fun to watch! Plus he has an intense game face.

This is what my man does:



NOT IN MY HOUSE!

I'm so proud of him and all his hard work to be at the level he is now with only being home from his mission 6 months.

Keep up the great work, Big Dave!

Next Destination... Salt Lake City!

It has been 43 days since I moved from Orange County to Provo to live with my sister and be closer to my big man. So far I do not have a job, but I'm not losing hope!

Tomorrow I officially move to Salt Lake City in a house in David's ward. I'm only going to be a couple minutes away every day. I know I must sound like a silly girl in love... but I kind of am I guess.

Here is a picture of how close I will be:



Also, David and I will be buying one of our favorite movies that comes out tomorrow... Night at the Museum 2!



We will buy it and watch it immediately. I suggest you do the same!!

I'm such a happy girl :)

Acclimating

About once a week I go out for a short 2 mile run around the neighborhood to mix things up. Ever since I got here I've had to stop and cough up a lung every time to get the mountain air out. Well, today I was finally able to run it all without stopping and when I got back I wasn't even coughing! My body must be adjusting to Utah... finally. I'll probably try the run again but I'm not getting my hopes up that I'll be able to do it again because knowing my body it was just tricking me into thinking I'm safe.

It was a successful day!

(I also made fondue that was enjoyed across the board at home...mmmmmmmm)

In Utah, not of Utah

I have arrived to Utah safely. Its been almost 2 weeks since i've been here and its been a wonderful ride. My mom and I drove out to the Nevada border from Bjorn's house in Murrieta sunday night and stayed at one of those big hotel casinos there. Nevada makes me sick. Monday morning we got up early and were both eager to get out of Nevada. Since we had already traveled about 4 hours past Orange County we only had about 6 hours left of the drive.

I rented a Budget truck that was just perfect for the amount of stuff I had. David's family and some friends from the ward were so generous and helpful in getting it packed. Overall the weekend worked out really well. I had pretty much planned it down to the minute so I wouldn't have to stress about anything. It was so great.

We arrived Monday afternoon around 1:30 but the guys that were supposed to help unload the heavy stuff from the truck weren't scheduled to arrive until 3. If you know me, you know I like to show that I can do things that even the strong men can do. So I unloaded everything but the couch, bed, and table. I wish I had a picture to show how much stuff was in there. When the guys came, they saw what was left and laughed at how easy and fast it was for them. To that I say "anything you can do I can do better" (to some extent).

Here is a video of me driving up to my sister's house. Lia was so excited for us to come. You will notice there is a pause; that is me telling my mom to get out of the truck and help me back up. Thank goodness there isn't a video of me backing up because that would probably be very embarrassing.
