ode to skiing.

i guess i would consider myself a child of winter. how this happened i dont know. but i enjoy winter more than any other time of year.

i've snowboarded ever since i was a little girl, never skiied.

and to be honest it was starting to get a little boring.

SOOOO

my big bad self decided to try skiing.

NOTE:: the photo below is like ryan( its simon dumont) but he is a stud skiier.

this one was like me on my first day :) but now i love it! and i can actually keep up to ryan and all our friends :)

i dream of skiing now, and sitting at work absolutely drives me crazy..

and this is us now :)

love us

engaged :) :)

its been forever since ive posted! so maybe i should give an update!

well im engaged :) happy day here! its been almost a year and i didnt think that ryan would ever decided he wanted to get married ha ha we have talked about it for awhile and he almost decided to do it in new york but changed his mind so i was really suprised when it happened! :)

but really really excited!!!

the ring...its perfect for me! my grandma has one that ive been in love with since i can remember and ive always told ryan i love it! so i was thrilled when it is exactly the same! :) :)

so the story...on Friday (December 4th) we were watching a movie with ry's parents, Angels and Demons, which is forever long so by the time we got done it was pretty late and i still had to run a pair of skis to friends in rexburg and get up early the next morning to go skiing so i just told him that i was going to go home...

ry," no lets just go for a drive okay."

me, " okay..."

so we proceed to go for a drive up to the hill above idaho falls where we go sometimes if we just feel like going somewhere but dont wanna do anything. so we get up to our spot and were just sitting there talking about how much it sucks that there is no snow and school and stuff when all of the sudden ry was like," i got you some new gloves for skiing do you want to try them on?" i was thinking what is wrong with my old ones, apparently he hates them :( but anyways he went and got them out of the trunk and came to my door and handed me the left hand and im thinking to myself "oh my gosh oh my gosh OH MY GOSH." Hello ring in finger! :)

and if you know me you know i laugh when im nervous! so i just start giggling and couldnt stop. ry is trying to be all cute and im totally ruining the moment.... stupid me....after he gets done with "the speech" im still giggling so he says " are you going to say yes anytime soon." i felt so bad! and of course said yes and the rest is history!!!!!

hopefully we will get married on february 20th :)

yay!

and the cake.... my sisters decided that they were going to make us a "proposal" cake!
