I know, I know, I know...I suck at bloggin!

Ok I know i have been very bad at posting. I keeping doing the I'll do it tomorrow thing. Well I realized the last time I posted was March and I am not about to let it go a year. So here I am and hopefully I can keep it up! So quick recap since last March...

I finished up spring semester, was home for a week and went right back to Rexburg for the summer semester. I can't think of too many exciting events that took place, but there was one in particular that has changed my life quite a bit and is probably also the reason I haven't been taking time to post a blog. In June my roommate Alison was debating to go to a family reunion in Utah. She didn't have a ride and didn't care to much to go. But after much begging from her mother and me offering her a ride, the two of us headed to Utah to spend the weekend with Al's family. About a month prior to this I was at a wedding reception for a roommate. At this point I had two roommates married and the rest were in relationships. I felt like something was wrong with me. I was older than all these girls and couldn't even get a date. I was a feeling pretty cruddy and about to just give up. So here I was headed to a reunion looking forward to getting away from school and the whole dating scene, excited to have a relaxful weekend with my roommate.

At the reunion I met many of Al's family, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and a lot of cousins (at least it was a lot to me since I have six total). Of course when I met Al's male cousins who were around my age I automatically looked at them to see if they were someone I could date (BYU-I trains you to do this, everything seems to be about dating and marriage so its constantly set in my brain). As I met these few cousins nothing in my head went oh i like! But they seemed to be fun guys! We stayed up late with all the college ages cousins playing games and talking. It had been a fun weekend.

As the reunion came to an end Al convinced a few of the cousins to stick around in Utah to hangout that night with some mini golf. This meant on our way back to Rexburg Al and I would take her cousins Kyle and Beverly all the way to Pocatello. To make a long story shoter (at least I'll try) we had a fun game of mini golf, that kyle paid for and I won!!!! I'm awesome.

On our way back to Rexburg Kyle and I got to know each other a little more. But yet I still thought nothing of it. When I dropped Kyle off he handed me a note saying thanks for spending the weekend with the family and for the ride. He also included a $20 for gas. I tried to give it back but he refused. As Al and I headed back to Rexburg she told me how Kyle wanted to come up to visit her and be set up on a date. She asked me if I wanted to go with him. I laughed and said why don't you set him up with someone he hasen't met. She hesitated a second then told me that he kind of already requested to go with me. I laughed somemore flattered yet not sure anything would come from this, but I agreed. When I got home and got on facebook I had already had a friendship request from Kyle. I guess he wasn't going to waste any time.

Kyle was in Burley Idaho working for the summer, but made sure he came up to Rexburg for his date. After the first date I was still unsure if there was anything there but I decided to keep giving him a chance. We spent a few more weekends together and started to date. Kyle made lots of trips to see me this summer. Unfortunately the summer semester ended and I was going home for seven weeks. We kept in touch and when I was back at school the traveling continues. He was in Logan now for school, so we took turns making that wonderful journey (yet now I'm sure I could do it with my eyes closed and am so sick of it). Well what it all boils down to is Kyle went to meet my family in october, came to my house for Thanksgiving to ask my dad a question, got engaged Dec. 16 and now we are getting married March 13. Wow how things happen and change fast when you least expect it. However, I couldn't ask for anything better! He is an amazing guy and has become my best friend. I can't wait to spend my life with him!

Sorry for the long story, its been so long for posting that I just took off and couldn't stop.
