Extra! Extra! Read all about it!!

Hello my dear readers (if there are any of you out there),
So much is happening and changing in my life right now! I have not been the best blogger recently, and for that I appologize. I have some big news, but there are other things that I meant to blog about, so I will update you chronologically.

Almost three weeks ago, on a Tuesday, I got offered a temp job at Gossner Food's. Justin's cousin is prego so I will be working for her while she is on maternity leave. It is a reception-type job in the shipping office. I say reception-type because there is A LOT involved in this job! I do billing, receiving, take orders, send orders, fax, file, answer phones, lots of computer work, lots of organizing, but the funnest part of my new job is that I get to check in all of the truckers who come in to pick up milk or drop off supplies. Truckers are some of the most entertaining and unique people I have ever had the privlidge of encountering! Basically they are a hoot! And almost ALL of them have terriblly hard to understand accents. I have heard russian, german, spanish, southern, chinese, and some that I couldn't place in a million years! Most of them are dirty and smelly and have not had a shower in days. And for the most part, they are some of the kindest, sweetest, funniest, people on the Earth! I kind of love them.

So that's my new job. You will notice that I got the job on a Tuesday. By the next day (Wednesday) I had started training at my new job, moved out of my parent's basement, and moved into my grandparent's basement in Preston, Idaho. So yeah. This BIG change happened very, very fast with absolutely NO warning. But it was such a good, good change for me! I love my job and I love living with my grandparents and I LOVE being a half hour closer to Justin! (And ALL of my friends in Logan too of course!!)

Alright. So now for the big news:
















I AM ENGAGED!!!

Justin finally proposed and I could not be any happier!! Looking back at my life, I honestly thought that this day would never come. And now that it has, well.... I can hardly beleive it myself! I keep looking at my ring finger on my left hand just to make sure that this is not a dream!

The Proposal:
Justin's aunt owns a condo on the beach at Bear Lake that his whole family, plus us, were going to spend Saturday night at. We all also had tickets to go see "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" at the Pickelville Playhouse. The play was super amazing, I can't believe what a fabulous job they did! After the play we all headed back to the condo and were just sitting around chatting it up. Justin asked me if I wanted to go for a walk and I said sure. As we headed to the beach fireworks started going off in the distance in honor of raspberry days. We walked down a pier so we could watch the fireworks, but all of the benches were taken so we sat in the dirt and rocks. It was so beautiful to see the fireworks shoot up over the lake and have their reflections shimmering in the water. After the fireworks were over everyone on the pier left and we headed to the last bench. We sat down and were just talking, looking at the stars and watching the water. Then Justin starts listing all of the things that he loves about me. He tells me that he doesn't ever want to spend another day without me. The next thing I know he is down on one knee, holding a ring out, and asks me to marry him. I was stunned, but once I got over the shock I said YES! I gave him a big fat juicy wet kiss (didn't want to leave out any of the dirty details) and we hugged and kissed and kissed and kissed some more! We then just sat on the bench and talked and when we got up to leave he took me in his arms and started dancing with me. Wow. He done good! It honestly was the perfect proposal! I couldn't have asked for anything better. And not to brag or anything, but my ring is dang fine gorgeous! I LOVE it! And it means even more to me that he did the ring thing completely on his own. He kind of knew what I liked, deffinitely knew what I hated, and went into the jewelry store and designed it himself! And it is perfect!


We have set the date for October 22 so put it on you calendars cause you better freaking be there! Pictures to come.
