Hey,
Things are going pretty well here for being Spring Break. Came home on Friday and mom and me went to David’s Bridal and looked at wedding gowns. We found a couple that I liked and met Stephen at IHOP and had dinner. Then spent some more time with my mom and then went and picked up Stephen’s friend and his girlfriend. Then went to our friends Bobby’s house and played flashlight tag. Well I played a round and then I became a walking base. Of course at one point I was it with Bobby’s late girlfriend Tiffany and we searched and found everyone other then Stephen. No one could find Stephen at all and it happened to be the first area that I looked but I didn’t actually see him.
On Saturday we went to my sister Necia’s house and had dinner with her family and played wii house. We also discussed flowers and other things that Necia thankfully is going to be helping the day of the wedding. She is doing the flowers and my hair most likely and as of today she is going to help me make jewelry for myself and my bridesmaids and flower girl.
On Monday I went wedding dress shopping and bridesmaid dress shopping with my mom, Sarah, and Missy both who I loved having bring with me. I tried on a dress that my mom chose for me and well I loved it and my mom cried but it just didn’t feel like it was the one dress. I tried on the second dress and I literally fell in love with it. It was the one I knew it from just trying it on. I felt head over heels in love with this dress. We also found two bridesmaids dresses that the girls loved and all three of us paid for our dresses that day.
Today, I went to the dentist and then went shopping with my mom. Who tricked me into buying tennis shoes. I hate shoe shopping. And then went over to Stephen’s family house to celebrate Saint Patricks Day. I enjoyed my time with my soon to be family and it was a nice to just relax for once. Later today I am going to be with Stephen helping him with laundry.
Talk Later,

End of the Week and Role of Reading
Hey,
Wow this week has gone pretty fast in truth. Yesterday, we finally got the building that we want to have the wedding at on the date we want it. One less thing to worry about. We also asked our friend Stephen Bart. Be the dj for our wedding. It’s been kind of nice to just have friends help us the best they can. Bart used to dj some of the church dances growing up so it wasn’t a bad thing for him to be dj our wedding. Also Stephen’s younger brother Scotty sings and writes his own music so we kindly asked him if he would sing at our wedding during the reception. It would be really nice if he did that because he’s apart our lives but he has a great voice. Of course we might want to make sure the song would be appropriate. All in all things are coming together quite nicely in fact.
So today I thought I pull a slip of paper from the journal jar that is next to my computer and answer it. Today’s question is “Describe the role of reading in your life.” Okay, I was born in a reader family. My siblings all have loved to read and in truth it was no surprise that I would want to read as well. I actually can’t tell you when I started to learn how to read though. But I remember the whole house covered in notes. Each note was taped to something different and on the note would be the word of what ever it was taped to. So the wall had a taped note saying W.A.L.L to it. It generally helped me I believe and I am actually in hopes of doing that with my own kids. I do remember that in elementary school I had a fetish in reading anything about the holocaust. From fiction to nonfiction I was reading the book. Actually some of my elementary classmates called me a Nazi for a long time because of it. In Junior High I went through a pretty depressed years. And one of my teachers asked me to read the Harry Potter books. Right then and there I found a series that I fell in love with. It’s no surprise that I went through a whole series and literally read them so much that the books fell apart and I had to slowly get hard backs for the series. I love the author J.k Rowling and pretty much have almost a lot of books about the Harry Potter series and other works of hers. But I am just starting to get into the Twilight series as well. In high school till now I could read a book within twenty-four hours. Lately though I don’t have the time to really read which is pretty sad but in truth it’s a part of the grown up years. That’s what the role of reading has on my life.

Wedding Planning, Classes, and Spring Break
Hey,
Things are sort of different since I have become engaged. Like the fact that I am wearing a ring on my finger. But the more I wear it the more I am used to wearing it. The more that I want to be with Stephen. It’s like an extra push to do well in school and for the chance to be able to come home quicker to be with him for the rest of our lives. I am also having a extra push to lose weight even more. I work on my wii and wii fit more and I am starting to slowly eat more healthy. Also when I have some free time I work on wedding plans. Like right now I am working on finding a bouquet that I like for myself and my bridesmaids. I think I have them now as long as my sister Necia can do them. The dresses for the bridesmaids have been pretty much chosen except I want to see what the girls look like in them. Because each girl has a different body type then the others. My maid of honor is Sarah. Then my other two friends Katelyn and Missy are my bridesmaids. All three have been in my life for a long time and have a huge part of who I am.
In other things math class we are starting in geometry. I started a new class on Monday and it’s a fitness class. It looks like a pretty easy class just a lot of busy work so it seems. Also it look like I’ll be home the Wednesday of Finals week. I am pretty excited with that fact. Because it’s sooner then I thought it would be so I can be closer to Stephen and my mom. So Monday’s class was pretty much the introduction to the class and some notes about what we will be doing. In history we are learning about the holocaust. Which happens to be my favorite history subject. I love learning about it because it was so hard on people during that time. In elementary school up to junior high school I used to read almost every chapter book about it and people who lived during it. On Thursday we are having our second exam and it looks pretty easy for the most part. In biology we are now talking about plants how they reproduce. Did you know that all red roses are man made maybe that’s why they are so expensive. On our last exam I did way better then the first one and got a 74%. In fiction writing we are cliquing everyone short stories. Mine went up yesterday and everyone pretty much dissed my work and tore it apart piece by piece. It was like a lion ripping pieces of a wildebeest. I was dishearten about it. But I just went on to my next class. Music class we are learning about writing up lessons plans and talked about our next presentations which is Tuesday after Spring Break. Also we got our test back and I got a 90% on it.
I can’t wait for Spring Break. Not only do I have a lot of wedding plans to get done but I’ll be home near the ones that I love. We all ready have plans set our and I am sure more are to come. Sometime while my mom and Sarah are home we will be going shopping for my dress. I have a feeling though that I may not like it. I am an odd shape person. I am chubby but it’s not shown in the bust area. Like so many designers and stores think. If ur round in the middle then u must be big up top too. Hopefully though I’ll find a dress and it will be The dress. Also during Spring Break my bridesmaids and my maid of honor will be trying on their dresses. It would make it much easier to see what they will wear once I figure out my own. Also Stephen and I are most likely going to discuss guest list and all that jazz. Also I need to celebrate my maid of honors twentieth birthday because she only turns 20 once. Also I have a dentist appointment and I really can’t wait for that. I think that’s it for Spring Break.

My Engagement Story
Hey,
So I know everyone is dying to know, how Stephen purposed to me. Everyone wants to know the details of the whole thing. Well I am going to tell you all at once on here. It all started on Wednesday. Usually Stephen comes down to spend time with me on Wednesday but we both agree that money wise it’s not the best thing to be doing. So last Wednesday I went to bed earlier then I have in awhile. During the night I had a dream. The dream I had was a candlelight dinner with Stephen. Of course in the dream, Stephen had a cocky smile on his face. Well when I woke up on Thursday I told Stephen the dream and he said, “We can do that this weekend.” So Thursday night Stephen prepared for a candlelight dinner. On Friday, I went through my normal routine and went class then to work till two. While I was at work being pretty bored I was thinking about Stephen’s and I past. I was thinking about our first dance when we were fourteen. Then the first time we doubled with someone on a date. The first time he asked me to a school dance. The first time he asked me to be his girlfriend. The first time we held hands, first kiss, first I love yous, first breakup, first Sunday call. I asked him in a txt “What do you think I am thinking of.” He sent me one back saying, “Your thinking that I might purpose to you tonight. Which I am not going to purpose to you at dinner.” I wasn’t thinking about it until he said something. But I let it go.
That night when I got home. Mom and me went to get my hair trimmed and eyebrows wax. Both which was much needed. Then on the way back home so I could hop in the shower. We saw a hot air balloon that was about to hit the ground so we followed it and watched them take it down in a field. Then went home. I hopped in the shower and when I got out Stephen was there. He helped my mom put two new hoses on the washer and then we left for his house after he called Peter to tell him to light the candles. When we got there all the lights were off but it looked like the lights were still on. I put my things that I brought with me down in his room and then I went upstairs. The table was gorgeous. He had the cd that I made him with all the songs that reminded us of our relationship playing on his laptop. I went to sit down with my back to the window and he looked up and said, “That’s my seat.” So I changed seats without thinking. He brought the food over, Pork with potatoes and carrots and green beans. He then picked up his glass and held it looking at me, still standing. I thinking he was going to give a toast raised my own glass and looked at him. He then said raising his glass, “Marry Me.” He then gestured to the candlestick in the middle of the table and there was my ring facing me. I was gobsmacked and in total shock. He pulled the ring off and I just nodded my head yes. He placed the ring on my finger and then kissed me. On the laptop the song was Love Story by Taylor Swift.
After dinner we stood up and danced to our song, “Don’t wanna miss a thing.” And kept dancing before long I was really antsy I wanted to call some people but didn’t want to ruin the moment either. Finally, he pulled away and he goes, “Okay go ahead and call people.” So we were on the phones sending out mass txt messages and then me calling some siblings. Then he cleaned the table and made it look like everything was back to what it was before he asked me. Then we took tons of pictures of the whole thing. After awhile it was getting really hot in the room. We found out that the candles made the room 90 degrees. So we blew out all forty two candles in the room and then I changed into something else. When I was done we went to go to QT to get a couple of sodas. On the way out of the parking lot. Stephen slammed on his breaks and said, “No way.” I thought he saw someone he knew. But he opened his car door and reached down and there was a rose unharmed. He gave it to me and we both cracked up laughing. Everything was perfect. We chose a date and a place. July 11th, 2009 at the stake center in Olathe.

Midterm Week
Hey,
So life here at school are hectic to say the least. This week is midterms which means that college students get to find out how well they did the first half and how much they will have to work to get their grades up in the end. I am one of those people who tend to study, yes. But not as much as I should and when midterms grades come out I realize that I need to use all my free time pretty much to study. Math is going around. We are about to take our second chapter test tomorrow and hopefully I know graphs pretty well and be okay for it. History is going. We have our second test next week. I think I failed the first one but my fifty points of extra credit points should cover it pretty well. Biology, I failed the first test to my disappointment. Today I took another test in there and hopefully did really well. I heard that the second test was easier and I thought it was easy but I tend to think it’s easy and fail the test. So let’s hope I did well. In Fiction Writing we are tearing our beautiful masterpieces up and finding out every little flaw. Mine is up on Tuesday and to tell the truth I am so not looking forward to it. In Music we had our midterm this week and did our second presentation. We have our third presentation after spring break and I am not looking forward. I was trying to save the second presentation video to my computer but it wouldn’t save so I didn’t upload it. Plus I sounded way off key…maybe my high school choir teacher was right and I have no such singing voice. I start my PE class next Monday which will make work scheduling kind of difficult.
Meaning of work. I have read so many magazines so far that people read in a life-time. Some of them I have no clue what they were talking about just looked at pretty cool French pictures. As the words were in French. I have also learned about engineering and such. Also learned about different libraries over the whole wide world. A couple of times I see last names that make me think, “Hey I think my mom mentioned them.” But who knows if I have any family members in the magazines. But it’s been going pretty well. I believe I should be getting my first pay check this weekend totally excited for it.
In other things thing are going pretty well. I am trying to lose weight for myself and for some what a future. I am trying to get down from the obese area and in the healthy. But it’s going to be awhile. But I have been working out on the wii fit and that’s helping. Also been watching my food intake and I have lost two inches from my waist. So that’s pretty exciting and I think I might need to wear a belt with my jeans. We shall see.
I am totally excited for this weekend. Stephen’s cooking me a candlelight dinner which shall be fun. I will most likely dress up and put makeup on and hopefully I’ll be able to not cough or have a fever tomorrow.
More later,
Kk
