The Dress

So here is the DRESS!!! Can I tell you that it was a pain to find, but we found it! I drove all the way to Logan Utah to find it. Don't tell me if you don't like it cause at this point I don't care. Just kidding hopefully none of my "faithful" readers hate it. :) Of course these pictures aren't doing the correct amount of justice :)

The ring :)

I know you are all wanting to see pictures of him... but we don't have any that I can post right now:) But here are pictures of the ring.. and I'll get pics of us up soon... I promise :)

Getting Married!!!!

Well I am getting married!!!!!!! The date is set for March 21, 2009. Lets start the story on Friday on my way down to Utah with my father. Josh called me to let me know that he was picking up the ring, I already knew it was done... I had designed my ring, so the week before I had tried on a wax mold, and he told us then that it would be done of Friday. Later in the day he had shown it to a few people in his family and they were all giving him advice as to when and how he should do it. Confused and stressed, he called me and was just talking about his thoughts as to when he should do it. He was nervous about losing the ring, so he wanted to do it ASAP, but he also wanted to do something special.... and his thoughts ran on. Finally I told him "Josh, I don't care when or how you do it... but I don't want to hear about how you have my ring and I don't get to wear it" (of course I wasn't angry, just a little tired of hearing about how he had my ring.. and he kept on bringing it up to bug me! the nerve! I returned home on Sunday and came into my home to see him and my mother sitting in the front room. I went and sat next to him and was talking with the family. Josh was holding my had and rubbing my ring finger. I looked at him and said... Josh why are you teasing me that's so not fair! After eating, he took me to a park near my home where when we first started dating we went to often to sit and chat. After arriving at our "spot" I could tell he was stalling. After telling me that he loved me, he got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife!!!... AND OF COURSE I SAID YES!!! Could you imagine me telling this whole story and then saying that I said no!!!
Josh had planned to do it on Friday, but then decided that he couldn't wait that long... :)

I know its been a month......

Not to worry!!! Despite popular belief, I have not fallen off the face of the earth... well maybe I fell but its not quite the same type of fall...His name is Josh Ricks... so need I say more?!

I did it!

I ran a 5k :) not only did I run it, I ran it in 34:50, (and to compete in the red wave you were supposed to be able to do it in 35:00 so I didn't lie) and it was POURING RAIN!!! It was amazingly WET... imagine that one:) But now is the time to confess that I haven't ran since... but tomorrow is the start of a new week... I was giving myself a break... So I tell myself:) Honestly I will be starting to run again tomorrow and hopefully be training for a 10 K here in the next couple of months. I let you know how it goes... if it goes :)

Summer Concerts :)

So I know it has been a while... I have done a few things lately... First of all, GARY ALLEN. Can I just say that I love that man?! It was the second time and it was ever just as good as the first. Then... Sara Evans and James Otto. Love it!! Had a blast with some friends from my ward sitting on the freezing cold grass. Who said that it could be cold out side... because we defiantly need to have a little talk!

3 Miles

Last night I finally did it! I ran 3 miles and it took us 35 min!!!! Can you believe it? It actually felt really good when we finished. I might have hated it the WHOLE time I was doing it but in the end it was worth it. We only have 11 more days till we race at the Womens Celebration! I was pretty nervous since I hadn't been quite on schedule for training (we were supposed to hit 3 miles a week and a half ago) But now that i have done it.. I'll be golden for the race. Our goal was just to be able to run the whole thing which we'll be able to do. I'll let ya know how it goes!
