Eventful Day!!
Today was an awesome day! First of all, Julia and Crystal put together a very fun bridal shower. About 20 of my friends and co-workers showed up to participate in the games. We played 3 games. The first one was matching brand names with the product. The 2nd one was name as many songs as you can with the word "LOVE" in the title. The final game was making a wedding dress out of newspaper. That game was the best. Everyone was soo creative! I also got a lot of cool gifts. Everyone was so generous! I'm lucky to have such great friends and co-workers.
Afterwards, we went to the Provo Temple where Andy received his endowments. It was awesome! I am so glad that I am getting married to a worthy Priesthood holder who can take me to the temple. What more can a girl ask for?
Julia and Tim were also able to attend the session. I'm grateful that they were able to come. It really meant a lot to me. Two of Andy's friends also received their endowments at the same time. It was neat to have family and friends around.
After the session, Tim, Julia, Andy and I went to Red Robin to eat dinner and to celebrate.

Thanksgiving Holliday!
I can't believe Thanksgiving has already come and gone! It was nice to have a break from work...too bad it couldn't have been longer.
Anyway, Thanksgiving was awesome! Nice and relaxing! The best part was I got to spend more time with Andy. Because of his CS projects, I don't really get to spend too much time with him. He is always sooo busy! So, spending time with him was definitely something I was grateful for. :) To make things easier, here's a break down of the holidays:
Wed the 23rd: Worked until 5 and then we went to our ward Thanksgiving dinner. Then Andy played bball until 11 pm. Then we watched a few episodes of 24.
Thurs the 24th (TURKEY DAY!): Cooked the turkey Nu Skin gave us. It's a tradition..Nu Skin gives a turkey to every employee for Thanksgiving. Very nice! Watched a movie and the we went to Tim and Julia's for dinner. I thought it was very kind of Sister Nuttall to let us join them. We had lots of GOOOD food. Afterwards, we went to my place and watched more 24. We were trying to stay up to go shopping at 3:30 am (Black Friday Sales).
Fri the 25th: Went shopping at 3:30 am. Our first stop was CompUSA because they were already open. Unfortunately, there wasn't really anything left. We then went with a few friends to Best Buy. The line was HUGE! So we decided to go check out Staples. We wanted to know what time they opened. Turns out, Staples didn't open until 6 and there was hardly anyone in line. So we stayed there. It was soooo cold! But, 6 am finally rolled around and we rushed into the store! We got tons of good stuff! We got a free remote control, laminator, and paper shredder. Then we got 2 web cams for 5 bucks each! I thought that was cool! I also got a 512 mb memory card for my camera and Andy got a 19" LCD flatscreen monitor. He's always wanted one and they were on sale for only $200 bucks. Luckily we were there early enough so he could get one. He also got a great deal on a hard drive and USB keys. Shopping that early was definitely an experience but I don't know if I'd do it again. :)
After shopping, we went and ate breakfast at Denny's with our friends. And then we went to watch RENT at the movies. We didn't like it too much so we ended up walking out halfway through and watching the new Zorro movie. Then, we we ate dinner and then we went to a friends house and played games. We played Sequence! I haven't played that game for a long time. It is a FUN game! :)
Sat the 26th: We finally got a chance to go to the zoo! It was much fun! The only thing is it was really really cold! The zoo is in SLC and it had snowed! Other than the cold, we really enjoyed seeing all the animals. Especially the gorrillas and the turkey knocking on the door. We assumed it was trying to get out of the cold. :) After that, we went and did some registering and then watched "The Forgotten Carols." It's my favorite Christmas story so it was fun to see. :) Afterwards, Andy had to go back to programming so he could finish his projects. Such is life!
Basically, that was our weekend. On Sunday, Andy met with Bishop and the Stake President for his Temple Recommend. I'm excited for him to go through the Temple Saturday night! I know we'll receive even more blessings!
Anyway, I guess that's it for now. I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!

The Latest News!
So, I haven't been really good at keeping my blog up to date...but here's an update of what's been going on...
September 13: Got ENGAGED! Andy and I got back from a presentation in SLC around 10 or 11 pm. Because we hadn't eaten dinner, we went and at ate Betos. After we were done, it was almost midnight. As we were leaving, he asked me if I wanted to go home. I didn't really want to but I had expected Andy would want to go home to do homework. But, I told him that I didn't really want to so he asked if I wanted to go somewhere. I said sure. So we just went driving and we were talking. We ended up going to the bottom of the 'Y' to look at the city lights. It was really pretty! We were talking and somehow got on the subject of me having a ring. He then asked my how I wanted to be proposed to. Of course I thought it was a silly question and I told him he had to figure that out himself. But then he said he needed ideas just like I wanted ideas for his birthday. So giving in, I said I would want it to be romantic and be a surprise. He then asked me if I considered where we were was romantic. I said yes. The lights were really pretty and we were together and talking. Then, he gave me a kiss and slid the ring onto my finger at the same time. Then, he asked me to marry him. Of course I said YES!!
October: My family came down to Utah because my parents were leaving for their mission. They have been called to serve in the Taiwan Taipei Temple for 18 months. At first, I was worried that my parents wouldn't be able to come back for my wedding, but they've received permission to come back. I'm sooo excited that they'll be able to make it!
Anyway, those are the big highlights. I will be getting married Dec 20th in the Columbia River Temple. Sometimes, i still can't believe that it's acutally happening. It still seems like a dream. But I'm excited for Andy to become my husband. :)

Fourth of July!!!
Well, I hope everyone had an awesome 4th! My 4th was tons of fun. Andy was kind enough to fly all the way from Minnesota to visit me...it was really nice seeing him again and spending time with him. Here's a summary of the weekend...
Thursday: Andy arrives at 11 pm...we made tinfoil dinners at Tim's house to prepare for our camping trip.
Friday: I worked until noon. In the meantime, Andy went to BYU Campus and Campus Plaza to run a few errands. Then, we had to get a few things for our camping trip with Tim and Julia. We grabbed lunch and drove to Nun's Park Camping Grounds. Tim and Julia were already there reserving our spot. We just had to switch places so they could grab a few things. We did a little bit of exploring and played some card games. That night, we ate our tinfoil dinners...they were soooo good!!! Then, we played card games again and watched a movie. Tim had rented a projector and screen from BYU. It was fun! I've never watched a movie in the Canyons before. On top of that, we didn't even bring a tent....we just brought sleeping bags and blankets and slept under the stars.
Saturday: Andy and I went and checked out Bridal Veil Falls. We had parked at the viewpoint and decided to avoid the trail and climb down the side of the mountain...pretty crazy huh? It really wasn't bad...but it was a little adventure. Then, that afternoon, we went and saw War of the Worlds. The acting and special affects was really good....but, I would suggest waiting till it went to the dollar theatre. That night was Stadium of Fire...we went to my favorite spot (somewhere in Helaman Halls...behind the baseball stadium) to watch the fireworks. They were soo cool! It was almost like they were falling on us.
Sunday: Of course we went to church...Later in the afternoon, we went to Rock Canyon Park. Luckily it was still 'flooded'. I thought it was really cool. The water was really cold too. The we went to FHE.
Monday: Went to a BBQ at Tim's house. After that, we went up to SLC to the This is the Place Park. I think I was expecting more from it...but it was neat to see the spot where Brigham Young said this is where the Saints would settle. Then, we went to the planetarium and watched a show. It was called "Night Vision". It was pretty cool because he was explaining the constellations.
Tuesday: Andy leaves to go back to Minnesota at 4 am.
Well, that's my 4th of July weekend in a nutshell. I hope you all enjoyed hearing about it. :)

Trip to Minnesota!!
For memorial weekend, I went to Rochestor, Minnesota to visit Andy. It was sooooo much fun and it was great seeing Andy. He did a awesome job planning the weekend. We went to the Science Center in St. Paul and spent hours there. While we were there, we were able to watch a film on Kilimanjaro in the IMAX theatre. It was really interesting. Then we went to the Mall of America. It was HUGE!! In fact, they had what I would call a 'carnival' in the middle of it. It was amazing!
We also went sight seeing...we went to Minneapolis, saw the Mississippi River, saw some eagles, and even took a small side trip to Wisconsin...all we did was drive across the bridge. The sites were sooo pretty! Everything was very green.
Anyway, that's the basics of my trip. It was a BLAST!!
