I know it's been five months but i've been busy. Mostly with wedding stuff. The only way I know to catch up is to make a list.

-tried on my dress ( tight fit so i'm officially on a diet)
-met with the florist
-got bridesmaid dresses ordered
-tuxes are rented
- met with the cake lady (final dicision not made here)
-**not wedding related I passed a five and a half hour test at work so now I am a certified professional coder**
-i have a four wedding showers so far. not many things have been double so we haven't had to return much. Wil's kitchen is full of stuff. I really have to start organizing and get it all put away.
-this week we planted the garden. in the dark once again!! i got to hold the fertilizer bucket. that was gross it was not store bought if you catch my drift.
-this weekend i plan to start doing some packing. mostly the stuff I don't use like decorations, dvd's that i don't have time to watch. useless things like that nothing important. wish me luck.
-next tast invitations. any volunteers to address envelopes are welcome. i am seriously thinking of printing lables off the computer because my handwriting is aweful!!

Tomorrow is mother's day. I got my mom a gnome for her flower bed. i have yet to understand why she likes those things. oh well to each his own.

I am currently a little sunburned (not good since we're getting pictures made tomorrow). i was out in the sun for 3 hours yesterday after getting in the tanning bed (not recomended)

I need a little help!! if any one can thing of some unique reception songs please let me know so i can add them to the list. this is the only part of planning i am haveing trouble with. i'll hear a song i want to play. then when i sit down to download the i can't remember a thing.

Wil and I finally got around to decorating his house for christamas. We had a lot of fun. Its kinda funny because we used his mom's decorations so there are several personal ones that he and Angel had made when thay were little. I tried to get as many of those it the back as I could. We even had a packing popcorn fight. I lost though because I had to clean it up. While I was cleaning I was thinking how unfair it was that I don't even live there yet and I'm already doing the cleaning. I think I got the short end of that stick.

Friday night we played "Are you smarter than a fifth greater?" It would have been fun had will not cheated. first he went through and picked out all the social studies questions.(Can anyone see the unfairness in this?) Then when he finally got a question wrong he dicided that the question was too vaugue so he needed to pick another question. I did get to show him up though. The million $ questions do not have catagories so he just took the top one. I got the answer right both times and he got it wrong.

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A SAFE AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

I have good news!! I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance. Just kidding.

For those of you who don't know already Wil finally broke down and asked me to marry him. It has been a very hectic week but after a little arm pulling this morning I decided i should probably post about it. Last Sunday was our 3 year aniversary so I was kinda hoping for something to happen but really i just thought that we would talk about it I never really expected him to have a ring.
We decided to celebrate our aniversary on Saturday night so that we would not be so rushed on Sunday. He hasn't said but I think too he was nervous and wanted to go ahead and get it over with. We went to the Outback to eat which is where we usually go because that is where we went on our first date. I thought it was kinda strange that he didn't eat much. After we finished he wanted to go to the park to walk around. I kinda didn't want to go cause it was cold and my shoes were too small but I went anyway without any complaints. We walked to the back of the park and sat down in the pavilion. He wanted to go ahead and give me my aniversary gift so naturally I took it and opened it. At this point I was feeling guilty that i hadn't brought his gift with me. I couldn't bring it because it was not wrapped. I hate wrapping. Anyway I opened the bag and in it was a box. I the box was a porcelain trinket box. I collect porcelain bears and the brand that he buys for me is not a cheep brand so i was very happy with the gift he had gotten me. (NOONE seems to believe this and I can't understand. I've always been an honest person.) Anyway me being the dummy that i am did not realize that the trinket box opened up so Wil had to tell me to open it. When I did the ring was inside and he had written will you marry me on the top (which I didn't see until later) he got down on his knee and asked me and of course I said yes.

We stayed at the park for a while and talked about plans then we had to go by my house and tell my parents. My dad wasn't home when we got there so we had to wait on him before we told. My mom would look at my hand every time Wil went out of the room. Luckily I took the ring off before we went in the house.

I had tried to call Krista on my way home but apperently noone believes in answering their phones anymore. unfortunatly she called me back when I got home but before my dad got home so I couldn't talk to her then. After we told my parents we were on the phone the rest of the night calling family and friends. On Sunday we had to go to two different congregations to share the news. We also went to my grandparents house and talked till 11:00. On monday we went to my other grandmothers house and then all the way to columbia in the pouring rain to his grandparents house. Needless to say we were both exhausted.I am still trying to play catch up.

Any way details to come later.!!

Nothing much too upadate about right now. Wil had his tonsells romoved a week ago. I have spent most of my time either taking care of him or working (as always).

Tuesday was my birthday. Thanks to the two people who wished me happy birthday. Its good to now how much I'm appreciated (jk)! I did get some good presents. My parents got me a digital camera. I am very proud of it. I hope soon to learn how to post pictures on pleo so that my posts will be a little more colorful. I got a coupon for a free massage at the spa. I can't wait to use it. Wil sent me flowers. They are really pretty. He usually sends flowers on special occasions so I have been trying to hint that I like other flowers better than roses. He took the hint. He sent wild flowers which stay prettier longer than roses and they are cheeper too I think. I'm not really sure about that one because I have never bought flowers.

Anyway, I have lost 13-16 Lbs since Krista's wedding. I am very excited. I have 20 more lbs to lose by the end of the year to reach my goal. I feel so much better. And I have stopped snoring just in case anyone wanted to know. My dad has also lost about 20 lbs. I think we have lost because we stopped eating mexican 3 or 4 time a week. That can get very dangerous. I have found a new food weakness though so I have to be careful. Whitt's has the best baked potatoes. They are stuffed with pork BBQ and cheese. Yum!!!

I had a good time in Louisville. Krista and i went shopping all day and then had supper with Dan. Krista is a good cook she has come a long way since I have known her. Koodos to Krista. After supper we went over the bridge to Indiana. The view of the skyline on the river was beatiful. Dan also took us driving in dowtown Lousville. We saw some really strange modern "art" if that is what you want to call it. We had a lot of fun. I can't wait to do it again.

I also had a good time at the lectures. I got to see Kristi whom i haven't seen in a while. It was good to talk to her. I'm glad you are feeling better girl, I have been thinking about you during your recovery. Wil also came for a couple of days. We took an afternoon and went to the mall. We got our picture made in the photo booth and then went to the bookstore. We also went to the lake to feed the ducks. It would have been very romantic except that is was really hot. Next year at the lectures my mom has been invited to speak at the ladies lecture. Rumor had it that the location has been moved to the college due to low attendance. I think that is sad.

I guess my statement at the beginning of this post was wrong. I had more to say than i thought I did. One more thing. We have a border in our house. His name is Daniel Uthus. He is going to the fire acadamy here. He is a very picky eater. I never thought that anyone could be pickier than my brother of sister but I was wrong.

Harry Potter came out today. I had pre-ordered my copy but the card that I ordered it on expired last month. I have a new one but when they went to put my order on my old card it, of course, did not match. I had to re-order it today. I can't wait to start reading to find out what happens. I'll be upset if someone tells me before I get it finished.

Enough about me. Tell me how you weekend is going.

I don't know how many of ya know but i had been thinking in recent weeks about switching jobs. I know that i have talked in the past about how much i love my job and I really still do. the stress level here has mounted. My boss that i liked left on wednesday to take a job in KY. She had told me before she left that she had a job for me as a receptionist for an OB/GYB. I was all set to take it yesterday and i went in too tell my knew my new boss so that she could hire someone to take my place. I told her that the reason that I was leaving is because nobody ever asked me anything. the woman that is under her is the type that likes to pick favorites and she would bring work to the other two girls and ask them questions that i know the answers to just because i have been here a lot longer than them. i am also the one that trained them on how to use our computer system. i was kinda feeling lost and underappreciated. She told me that now that she knew my concerns she would definatly see that i would be noticed. She also said that the reason no one ever asked me is because i always looked so busy and she knew that I had a lot of work on me already. she assured me that I had been noticed and that i was doing a wonderful job and she could not afford to lose me. She told me a lot of changes that were fixin to happen that made me feel a lot better about the future of this company and my job. Wil was a big help too. He is fairly good about knowing when i need some comfort.
Besides all that yesterday was a good day. it was my mom's B-day and she made Chalupas for supper. they were wonderful. after supper we had a cake that my sister had made. it was good too. especially after having been back on my diet for two weeks.
In august I am teaching the girls bible study at carolyn's house. i am kinda starting to get nervous. i have some ideas on what to teach on it is just a matter of getting my thoughts organized and down on paper.
I am ready for my vacation. I am taking most of the week off to go to the truth lectures. my dad is speaking one day and papa Rader is also speaking.
I also get to go visit Krista. i plan on leaving early on monday and swinging through louisville. i miss her. I think having that time off will help to relieve some of my stress.
i really should get back to work after all the compliments that i got yesterday.
I love you all.
Now that I have updated everyone has to post a comment!!!
