It's been a while! In my defense, I've had an eventful past three months. I'm engaged!!! Didn't think that would happen for a while, but David talked me into it (although, if you ask him he will tell you it's the other way around). We met via Katie--he worked with her as a lifeguard, and after TWO YEARS of knowing him, she finally invites him over one Sunday. We flirted, hit it off quite well--and then the guy I was seeing at the time came over.
OUCH.
So we got to know each other as friends--sometimes annoying friends--but still friends. And I stopped seeing the other guy, and continued seeing David. Until I decided he was too attatched, and gave him the boot. That annoyed him a bit. Needless to say, we were not very good friends for a few weeks, until I got food poisoning. He texted: "I just ate amazing food at my favorite restaraunt!" I responded: "Oh good. I'm throwing up." And, being the sweetheart that he is, he texted me all night, while I was feeling miserable. And we continued texting (Ah, techno romance...) until he told me if I wasn't a chicken I'd call him and just talk. So I did, and we started dating. And things just worked out pretty well from there :-D
We are now engaged to be married, October 24th, in the Boise, ID Temple! I'm hoping everyone can come--I'm excited to see my family, and David's excited to be added to the family. That is, if we make it to the wedding! We've had a series of unfortunant events unfold in the one week since we've been engaged--a ticket, hitting a deer and wrecking his car (in his defense, he was going the speed limit, and the deer had a death wish), and most recently, rolling my mom's car on the freeway as we drove back up to school. We are both fine, albeit a little sore, but the poor car is no more.
R.I.P. Mom's Car.
Moment of Silence.
The car hydroplaned on a puddle of water (it had been raining pretty hard), and we swerved across the freeway to the shoulder, where the car, going 75 MPH, hit mud and rolled a few times into a ditch. Pictures of the car above! Like I said, everyone is fine--and very, very grateful that it turned out the way it did. The police officer and paramedics were all suprised, and expressed their shock that we weren't more hurt than we were. I know I've got a few people to thank for their prayers--we needed them! And the officers, people who stopped, and medics where speedy and helpful, so there's another blessing!
I guess that's all for now--I love you all!!! Wear your seatbelts please.
