model

i model for the visual arts department. one of the girls in a class i did head modeling for told me that she had entered a painting of me into the show that was going on in march. so i found it, with help from laree's roommate katie (the one not getting married). it looks like me. but not at the same time...
and i was having difficulty trying to re-create the pose. so sorry....

yeah...same as above...

ENGAGED!

St. Patrick's Day, 2010

and i guess you want to hear the story? too bad, i'm going to tell you anyways:
wednesday evening (st. patrick's day) i went up to west jordan to visit steven for a couple hours.
he picked me up at the trax station and we started going a weird way i was unfamiliar with. which isn't saying much because i really don't know my way around the area anyways. so he pulled into the west jordan city park, right near the police station, and said he thought since the weather was nice we should go to a park. so we played a little on the playground, then went to the swings, then walked around the whole place. (there's a ton of open fields and baseball diamonds, as well as 6 playgrounds)
we ended up at another playground, where no one else was playing and went to the swings again. he was pushing me on a swing and eventually just let it come to a stop.
when it did, he knelt in front of me and asked me to marry him. and the answer is yes!!

so the date: june 12th, hopefully in manti (that's the temple he grew up with, and since boston would be harder to get family to, we went with the temple that meant something to him)
time is still undetermined but will be soon!!
we're really excited!!
