GOOD AND ENGAGED

That's right.. Jack and I are engaged! On December 18th, he sent me on a scavanger hunt for my Christmas presents.. and the last stop led me to a huge gift. I unwrapped it to find another box... then another and another.. well, you get the point. When I got to the last box, inside was a ring box. But when I opened it, there was no ring. That's when I looked up and saw Jack. He got down on one knee and asked me to marry him, to which I of course said "Yes!" Then he played me a song on the piano that he wrote for me. Yeah, amazing... that was my favorite day!

And the ring is the most beautiful ring I've ever seen!


If that wasn't enough.. Christa showed up! I didn't think I was going to see her for a long time.. but she was a grand schemer in the whole affair, and I was so happy she was with me on that special day!




That night, we had our Christmas Party! It was awesome!

It was the best week .. hanging with our families!



Yes, everyone.. I'm good and engaged!


P.S. I don't have pics from Christmas because I just lost my camera. Sad.. it's around here somewhere.

FAREWELL TO CA

The time is drawing closer.. when I am leaving sunny CA to go home. Though I couldn't be more happy, I will surely miss some things here... First of all, my amazing friends!

I went with Drea and Natalie to a Christmas party at church. It was awesome! We decorated gingerbread houses!





The blondes!


Drea and Marcus.. they're hilarious together!


I'll miss McKenna! The other night, we went shopping and to dinner on 3rd St. in Santa Monica. Here we are with the big plastic tree. Nice, huh?


Then we went to paint pottery! So fun!




Another thing I will greatly miss is the view.. staring out at this everyday. But things change, God has called me on to other things, good things. So, I go with joy. I like this journey of following God.. you never know what might happen next.

THE WEEKEND

On Friday, we drove to LA.. singing all the way..


to an iceskating rink in the middle of the city. It was awesome!



Then we went to Diddy Riese.. the best cookie sandwich place.


On Saturday, Dustin and I drove to Newport Beach to meet her parents at a beach house.



In the morning, we rode bikes by the beach to a little donut shop for breakfast.




Short, but great trip. Now, getting ready for the last week of school, then finals, then Jack comes, then I go home! I'll have to say goodbye to my home by the beach.

THANKSGIVING CAME & THE CHRISTMAS SEASON IS HERE!

I went home for Thanksgiving. I had missed my family and friends so much! It was so good to be home! Jack came, too. And oh, what fun we had!

We went fourwheeling..


made cake cookies..


had some candy cane dip n dots. yum!


.. visited my friend Mary and her new tiny little baby Riley!


Hung out with the fam.. made funny faces.


Sang a lot of songs..


Me and Emily reunited..


as the boys bonded.


Jack and I went out on a date to a nice restaurant..


then on to Opryland Hotel to see the pretty lights...


and walk around. But there were so many people there, so we found...


an empty ballroom! It was ours.


We took our family Christmas pictures.. with Tyler as Buddy the Elf of course.


Ryan and Patti looked adorable in their matching sweaters..


The girls loved on Brandon's new dog. So cute and cuddly!


The boys acted like themselves..


but I joined in for laughs.


Jack and I drank the best hot chocolate in the world (from Williams Sonoma), ate gingerbread cookies, and read Harry Potter to each other by the fire. How perfect is that?


All in all, it was a fabulous trip home! I didn't want to leave.. but I'll be back soon enough!


So, when I got back to school, Dustin and I decided to decorate our dorm for Christmas! Look how cute!








And now I'm just trying to get my work done so I can go home for Christmas! Yay! It's my absolute favorite time of the year! 25 days till Christmas!!

THE LAST FEW WEEKS

Tha last time I was with Jack and the guys, we had a great time in Anaheim! Went to Tower...


oooh, that cd looks good!


Watched Lost on the iPod before watching the one that night! ha, love it!


Went to the park (not Disneyland)..


but we still showed our happiness in being next to Disneyland! Good times!


Then I hung out with my darling friend, McKenna. We went out for dinner and icecream and had a great time laughing at random things.


I went to the beach to spend some time with Jesus. Gosh, look at that!


A guy came to our school that week to speak and said he woke up that morning, looked outside and was like, "Wow! How can anybody who goes here look at that everyday and not believe that there's a God?!" I mean, really?! Just look at the ocean, the mountains, sunrises and sunsets, even a little leaf. Why do we take those things for granted? Sometimes I do, but then I'm struck by the beauty and in awe of how amazing God is!


That night, Dustin got all dressed up for her sorority formal! She looked beautiful!


The next day, we went out to lunch and a movie to celebrate that she got accepted to study abroad in Germany! Yay!


And they were putting up a ginormous Christmas tree! We were so happy (even though it was 80 degrees in November)


Drea and I went on a hike up the mountain beside our school... We got to the top and looked out at this gorgeous sight. We're going to go up there sometimes with her guitar and worship! It'll be awesome!


Back at the beach.. journaling and talking with God. It's the best. I'm going to soak it up while I can, for I won't be here much longer. It's good, though. I'm following God on this journey, moving on to the next destination.. as long as I'm in love with God and following him, all is well.


P.S. This is for you, Jack..
