I AM ENGAGED!!!

FIIIIIINNNNNNAAAALLLLYYYYYY!!! I am engaged to man that we all new I would be :)
Anyone who knows me knows that this was a long time coming. He was well, well worth the wait I will say. I could not be more excited that I know 100% I have the man that I will spend the rest of my life with (I knew a while ago but man just take a little longer haha). I am so blessed and truly thankful that Mike chose me to be a part of his life and for him to be a part of mine. Here's a list of things that I am most excited/thankful for:

• No more wondering if it was ever going to happen
• To come home and tell the boys (the dogs) they were officially OURS!!  :)
• To get to say I have neices and a nephew
• Be an aunt
• To have the reassurance of a life together
• Get to make desicions together
• To plan a wedding that I have envisioned for awhile

So here is how my Porposal went:
A close friend of mine asked if I wanted to go skydiving and of course I said yes. So I planned a trip with some friends to go to Moab and get this done. I was extremely excited!!!

Ya think????

SO Mike jumped first:



UMMMMM

Hanging outside the plane

Than I jumped.....

That fact that we are spinning is crazy to me cause I don't really remember that part. I am guessing it was because I was slightly terrified for a minute lol

Mike waiting for me to land so he could pop the big question. Little did I know there was a huge banner on the ground  next to him. I never saw it while up in the air. Oops

And the actually proposal



 YES!!!

What a fun and exciting day/porposal. I could not have envisioned it any better. I am so lucky to have such a caring man. I cannot wait for our wedding day. He makes me such a better person. I can't wait to be called his wife and make the best memories together.

Grow old with me, the best is yet to come!!!

I Love you Mike Ford :)



LIfe as I Know it

WOW!! Is all I have to say about life right now. It's crazy how fast it is passing by. I have been trying to enjoy the summer months as much as possible. I recently quit my job as a vet tech and now work in neurotrauma rehab at utah vally regional. It is so hard to make a change, especially cause I was with the vet clinic for 4 years. It was comfortable to me but with encouragement and support from Mike I officially have made the transition into human medicine lol and I am loving it!!!  But anyways here is what we've been up to....

Annual Trip to Moab with my parents for the car show

The awesome rock that ended up putting a hole in the bed of the Can-Am.

Beautiful view

Moab is always such a fun place to visit for a weekend. To escape a while is something I look forward to often.

Learning to ride my dirt bike better and enjoying every second. Mike has been so patient with me and I just love the time we get to spend doing it.

Trap shooting with my family in Birdseye (Thanks to Mike's family)

Mike "Trick shooting" my dad was so impressed. Too funny

I probably shouldn't be aloud to handle weapons :)

My family. So thankful for the opportunity to enjoy this day with them.

I realize my life is nothing special to blog about but the things I am able to do I am so so thankful for them. I enjoy everything about my life and the people around me to enjoy it with.

Things to come this summer:

-Plan a wedding (blog to come about that)

-Alaska in Aug.

-Finish 3rd semster of nursing school. Woot woot
