Runaways

The killers have done it again. Today was the release of their new song from their new album coming out this year. Sean is a major Killers fan. Like no joke. Brandon Flowers is his major man crush. Anyways the song is super good and I thought i would share! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LOeImx0kW4&feature=youtu.be

Coming together

Yes this is true. things are finally coming together! Only a few moments ago Sean and I officially decided where we are going to be living together! Woot!!! Big decision made. We will be at Centennial apartments right by 7 peaks water park. It is on the other side of Campus which is a bummer but once we get a car it wont be so bad. Our other choice was right next to Macey's which was a super good location but unfortunately they couldn't match up to what we were looking for. Yesterday was also another big day. We took engagement pictures!!! it was really last min but it was with Sean's brother Steve's really good friend. We had a blast and got some super fun pictures that will be what we were looking for. I am really happy with how things went. Steve will even now do the wedding video for us since his friend is the photographer and they wont be battling for shots which he hates. We went to this completely amazing park place near Draper ( i think) where they had an area like a regular park with benches and a playground, but then they also had farm animals, gardens, a house, creeks, wild brush, and more random little things that were a treasure to stumble upon. Now it is time to look for a car, get my dress/ his suit/ my clothes altered, and get my wisdom teeth out. Yeah I need to get them out. Specifically one. It has been poking out and creating a crater in my cheek. It is painful to brush my teeth, yawn, and eat. You can see that when i am eating something and its hard I am pulling out my cheek so i am not chewing on it with my food. Its kind of a funny site. Well more to come later. Take care!

So it has been a very long time since i have written anything. This is due to a combination of pure laziness, forgetfulness, and an irrational fear. Its seems to me that many times when I try to write down stories, especially ones about boys, i can hardly finish them because this irrational fear. A fear that if i finish the story, my real life story will finish as well. It is silly really. i even have not finished writing about Sean and my first two weeks together which were truly wonderful. And then I get backed up on writing in my journal and I stop writing in my journal altogether until i realize how i need to get back on track. here is my attempt to start doing just that. Sean and I have been busy bodies this summer and it took until only a couple weeks ago to really realize it is summer. It is crazy because my summer last year was so different and basically epic that this one seems to not have started yet. Summer seems to be missing and i have been trying to get it started with more pool visits, hiking, and ice cream. Still i have a long way to go. I need to kick start this summer with some traveling, hiking, camping, more ice cream/shaved ice, sun soaking, zoos, outside games, picnics, music, and parks. I have also been lacking on taking pictures. Wedding updates: I have my dress. It is beautiful and I get an amazing deal on it. I am waiting for it to get altered a bit and then cleaned and I can finally take it home! Sean and I are really trying to get our invites out but we have a problem with our engagement shoot which did not come out the way we wanted and we are not in a dilemma trying to get some good pictures to use. yeah so they are getting out a lot later than i was hoping but we still have some time. only 46 more days!!!! my last 6 weeks of being single. this really hit me this morning. 46 days and my life will never be the same. i am going to miss some things from the single life. going out with friends, roommates, single wards, game nights, flirting, traveling or doing things on a whim (i am really good at this) and such things. Married life will be great and I am super excited for it but it is all new. I know this kind of life so its a little sad and scary. I am glad i will have Sean with me the whole way. Another thing that is a pain is trying to find a place to live! it was so simple and cheap before but now we are looking for a place of our own. it is a lot more money that is for sure. I cant wait for my own kitchen though. :) so excited!!! I guess this is good for now. i dont want to overwhelm with months worth of writing. until next time (hopefully tomorrow if i am good) take care, ana

I am getting Married!!!!!

Hey so iam Engaged!!!! :) here is the story. pictures to follow later! Yesterday morning we planned to go to the Tulip festival at thanksgiving point with Seans sister and her girls. I thought it was going to happen then since it was a beautiful place and it was a great opportunity. He set it up to seem like he was going to propose there but he was just being a punk and i was mad at him for that. I had to work most the day but Sean asked me to go to a movie night at his friend Chris's house after work. Diana (the sister of Alyssa who used to be my roommate, and it was her mission farewell that i went to and first met Sean) texted me asking if we could go to her house and pick something up so Sean and i decided to stop there first before we went to the movie since they were in the same neighborhood. In the car i was playing one of my old cds i made so it had random songs like the jonas brothers and disney on it. When we pulled up we were singing to Hakuna matata from the Lion king and just having fun. As we walked to their house Sean just opened the front door and I was thinking "what are you doing? you cant do that, maybe since they are cousins its ok?". When we walked inside right where we first met he had set up the things and set us we used for our second date, our classy sweater photoshoot which was 4 months ago to the day. I was so confused noticing things but nothing clicking together. Sean had to asked me if i recognized it and tell me it was from that date. I realized that this was probably him proposing but i still didnt fully realize it.He had me sit in the chair and take some pictures with the stuff. First a picture frame and then the little stuffed dog we used last time. I saw some flashes from the other room under the piano and thats when it really hit me that he was proposing (it turned out to be our friend Brynne). This is the point where the tears started to flow uncontrollably. He sat next to me and told me that he loved me and wanted to be with me forever and then he got down on one knee, took the dog (which i didnt even notice and Sean was surprised i didnt) who had the ring tied around its neck, untied it and asked me to marry him. It was a big surprise that i didnt think he would pull off but he totally did and it was wonderful!!! I am so extremely happy and giddy. i love my beautiful ring and my amazing finace!!!! We are planning fir August 18th in the Timpanogos temple. Take Care!!!

The Civil Wars

Until i looked up the new song by Taylor Swift for the Hunger Games movie which i am super excited about.

Why I hate religion but love Jesus

I am taking a sociology of religion class and we have to do a religion in the news. One girl showed us this video. It is really really good and there have been many remakes of it as well as a Mormon one. Enjoy this message. Take care!
