The Happy News!!

So it is official, Karen and I are getting married!! I am so excited. I have given her my mom's old wedding ring that my parents gave me when my dad got my mom a new one. She is just wearing that one until I pick up her ring. She has one picked out and we are going this afternoon to get it. It has been a very exciting week for me. I have asked Brandon Staples, Mike DeMille, and Brandon Maxfield to be my groomsmen. Also I called the Denver Temple and set up our appointment and that really made me excited. We have the Temple at 10:00 am on Saturday August 15th.

We are really excited and very happy. Yesterday we also signed the lease to an apartment that we will be staying at. We rented it for May so Karen can live there during the summer. We are very happy about it. There will be more info as it happens.

Spring Break Tour

So this last week was my spring break and I spent all of it touring with the ballroom dance company. We had some fun times and there was some not so fun times. I enjoyed performing and getting spend time with my friends on team but the driving was tough and I didn't like how some team members would not help with loading and unloading the trailer. But I guess there sometimes just isn't enough stuff to do for everyone to be working. It just seemed like the same people did all the work. The worst part of the whole trip was the drive back from Page, AZ. After the show was done we had to pack up before we could leave. I think we left at around 11:45 pm Utah time and got home around 2:30 am. It was a really long drive. I drove the entire time but my truck was pulling the trailer and I don't know if anyone else has had much experience pulling a trailer so I really didn't have a relief driver.

I really like being able to spend time with Karen, she was in my truck the whole time, even if she slept most of the time. We had some good times with everyone that was in my truck. I really tried to make the best of taking my truck since I really wasn't planning on taking it and just kind of ended up driving because we didn't have anything else that could pull the trailer. I am happy to be home and glad that I will be able to get some well needed sleep.

Las Vegas Showdown

So this last weekend I went to Las Vegas and Pahrump for a mini ballroom tour. We did two shows at the high school in Pahrump. It was a lot of fun. It had its frustrating parts as well but overall I think it was fun. In Vegas Karen and I competed in three events: Samba, Cha Cha, and Tango. We made the call backs for all three dances but only made the final in the Samba. We ended up getting third place in the Samba which was exciting. I didn't like having to drive the whole time and when everyone in my car was sleeping it got boring but I probably wouldn't have slept anyway if I wasn't driving so I guess it was better that I was driving so the others could sleep. It was a fun trip but I was glad to be back so I could rest.

Lost Books

So this weekend I was helping move some furniture at my parents house and while I was out in our garage I found two boxes of my books. It was really nice because I found two books that I had thought that I had lost. I had looked all over for one of them because Alli wanted to borrow it and I knew I owned it but I didn't know where I had put it. I had totally forgot that I had put some books out in the garage. Mostly they were school books and church books but there was some novels as well. I was so happy I found my books! :D
