ENGAGED!!! (A story in pictures)

YEP! He popped the question!

It happened last monday, but I haven't been able to post anything because he still wants to be old school and ask my parents, so we kinda have to be hush hush for a few days.

But they're in a house with no internet now, so we're all good. Kills me not to shout it though.

THE SCOOP:

After going to dinner, we were driving around and ended up at temple square. We walked around and sat down in front of the reflection pool to look at the temple.



We talked about lots of things, made each other promises, then he pulled out the ring, got down on one knee and asked me. I felt like this:




And of course, the eye candy second only to my fianceé:



YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

I'M THE LUCKIEST GIRL ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!

We're so happy. I'll let yall know more details as we get going.

In the meantime be prepared to be nauseated by the cuteness and adoration we exude to anyone within a 10 mile radius.

Bring out your dead!

I am, in fact, still alive. Recently I've had lots of things going on with my jobs that have kept me really busy. I haven't posted since....wow. I graduated.

Things are going ok. I LOVE my teaching job still but I dread my phone job with every single cell in my body. It's really a nice set up, ok paywise for entry level, I work a pretty good (but super early) schedule, benefits, 401k, blah blah blah, But I feel stuck. When I get up to go to the job, I just want to contract a very serious disease that will incapacitate me for the day. So if anyone knows of a good job and/or someone with a very contageous but not too painfull disease, let me know. I think when I graduated I expected a great job to fall into my lap because I had worked so hard in school. There isn't really a need for linguists like there is for other things.

I really want to be an interpreter. But my spanish is WAAAAAAAAAAY not that good. But it's a good goal job. I've made some friends at work that gave me some advice, but for right now I just need to work on my language skills. I plan to sign up to be an interpreter with the school district, hopefully that will help.

Although I'm a little frustrated with the job, everything else is going great. I've decided I'm done with my little hiatus from church so I've been pretty diligent with that lately. I didn't know how much I missed it.'

In other news, I've decided that Efratos is just too funny. I need to keep some sort of log of all the things he says that makes me laugh
1. him: ok so....
me: ¿Queso?
him: no, gracias.

2. "You're so shiny!" -said when picking me up for a date

3. me: You know, I think you can do pretty much anything
him: (all hopefull, without missing a beat) You mean like Macgyver?

4. my mom and I: (laughing about something)
him: (starts laughing)
All three of us: (have a 15 minute laugh fest, after which nobody can breathe and our stomachs hurt, because we are laughing at the way the other two laugh.)

5. The sentence that made no sense - I don't remember exactly what it was, but it sounded like word salad, and was hilarious.

6. When he immitates Arnold Schwarzenegger's/Julio Iglesias/Chewbacca, or pretty much anyone else

7. The way he laughs when he *really* laughs. Sooooo cute.

That's all for now, I'm going to get to bed.

fur cuuuuuute

This man is seriously the best. The other day he put in a new cd player in my car because mine got stolen. Then he washed my car, engine and all, and even filled up the tire cuz it was looking a little low (dang you 33rd South...I swear, that street is like an off-road adventure!).
I'm pretty definately positive I've found the best fish in the ocean.

I haven't posted in awhile, work eats up alot of time. But better than that, I have had the pleasure of spending time with someone! This is "Efratos" (his nickname on my blog), the most crazy, cute, sweet, genteleman you will ever meet! Seriously, I don't usually go for the mushy stuff in public, but this guy is outta this world :D
Just look at this:
He likes to fix things, he's very handy around the house
He lives with a sweeeeet little old lady and helps her out
He has an accent to die for
He always opens doors and is very corteous
He has an UNBELIEVEABLE sense of humor
His family and friends are some of the most amable people ever
His eyes are, in a word, exquisite

I met him through my roommate's boyfriend, and we've been officially an item for about 2 fantastic weeks!

This picture is from last sunday, when we went to my parent's house to watch conference and play wii sports. We were playing cards and our rule is that whoever wins that hand has to wear the funny glasses for the next hand. He liked to wear them even if he didn't have to... so silly!!! <3

Anyway, I'm gushing. It's such a blessing to have him, and of course all of you, in my life! My cheeks literally hurt sometimes because I smile so much now. Maybe I'll get buff cheeks. One can only hope.

:D <----- my cheeks getting buff

Take care everyone!
