So family, you might've heard some rumors about me getting married... well, I've finally decided to post some pictures of the night it all started!

Kirk proposed Friday Aug. 1 right after we got off work up at our special little park up in the mountains. I was totally caught off guard so instead of saying yes right away, I answered with "Kirk, are you being serious?" Apparently he was! Here is my

gorgeous ring, which he picked out all by himself. It is even

 more gorgeous in real life. The big day is November 14th in the Los Angeles temple... a dream come true! 

Alaska trip

Well, this is my first post in about 2 years but I thought I would tell you guys a little about our awesome Alaska trip. So Dustin had 3 open spots and so I had the luck along with dad and Mark to take this Amazing trip... SO we headed to Alaska, flew in on Tuesday, fished until Saturday, and just had a jolly ol time. We caught some big Halibut (the biggest about 220+) and then caught some salmon too. We caught a couple other strange orange fish called red snappers and so that was pretty cool. The trip overall was amazing. We had great food every day and great company. I just want to say one more thing... Lets do it again Dad!!!

For all those that didnt go, you missed out but we have about 250 lbs of halibut so you can enjoy our catch ;)

Fun at the Lake with Reed!

After 2 yrs--Reed's back from Brazil

Reedy Kid is HOME

Welcome home to My little brother Reed! What a stud muffin. His flight came in at 8 AM on Wed the 16th. I had Kari, Tami and Chad with me out in Gilbert and to say the least we were rushing to get to the airport and yep yep its true, we missed his grand exit off the plane despite our running through airport with his welcome signs (Becki and I spend hours making) and balloons. It was such a good day! We then spent 3 days at the LAKE! YAY! Uncle Reed got to see his NEW nephew. Today Reed reported along with Tami and I AHHH! yes I had to speak. I was short and sweet cuz we all wanted to hear from Reed. WHAT A GOOD BOY!! LOVE YOU REED!!

reed's still got skills!!

The Itsy Bitsy Spider climbed....

Up the skirt of Lisa's bed, not the water spout and it wasn't itsy bitsy EITHER! Let me tell you what happened, I was rearranging my bedroom a few days ago and I guess I disturbed this wolf spider who was chill'n in a sac I had in my room. I am not afraid of spiders, but this one creeped me out. I guess because I was holding the sac in my hand when it popped out and quickly scurried up on to my bed skirt to get a better look at me. Despite my heebeejeebee fit, I was able to pull myself together long enough to snap a photo. Then I made the quick and smart decision to force him off my bed skirt with a clothes hanger onto something hard like the floor or the wall (you cannot smash a spider against a bed skirt). So now with my attacker on the ground I needed something to slow the sucker down I ran to my bathroom and snagged my airesol can of hairspray. The creepy crawler was now behind my dresser which I moved (i was on a mission) pointed the poison and sprayed. It worked!! My 8 legged intruder was now not so agile and speedy. I watched it for a minute, don't ask me why, I was kina fascinated WEIRD i know. then I grabbed my weapon, Thank you Stephanie Meyer, and sent the poor guy to the next life (its in a better place). I guess its just been so hott outside that the bugs want in. I don't blame them. sheesh! When I recounted this dramatic event to Barry he told me that it was a brown recluse and that I was lucky to make it unscathed and that I was sooo brave, but I knew better so I Googled my friend spider to discover it was Wolf spider which aren't aggressive but ARE POISONOUS .....okay okay like a mosquito and there's like 5 different colors and they can live for 5 years. Remember Marks little shower friend?? He kept him around for a while.....humm I don't think so!

My trip to Utah

 I'm so glad I got to spend some time with Kari on her b-day. I love pedicures!

This is one of the big houses that Chad and I saw on our walk in the neighborhood just below Aunt Nan and Uncle Denny's house. ther was 3 open houses and I loved walking through all the custom homes! FuN! as you can see Chad loved it too! wink

                           This is Josh and Megan and my new pal Randy.  Below is their home in Draper, where I spend the last week. Megan is my Prego friend I went to visit and go to her baby shower.
Here is Megan being  "showered".  Girls are so fun to spoil. Her baby Girl Savannah is going to be the best dressed baby on the block! 
We played fun games like musical bottles, taste test baby food and can't say baby or I get your diaper pin! cute Megan ALMOST won. winkwink

Here we all are at her shower! Megans the pregnant one!
Megan took me to a unique place just outside of SL claled Gardner Village.  It is a old mormon homestead with a bunch of houses that were restored and turned into a very quaint shopping center they had all kinds of unique shops we spend hours there and ate lunch at a bakery.

This is Megans cute nursery. she had a rad mural artist come paint it. CUTE As a button
this is Josh's sister and husband at a arena football game . I was there too.

Megan is the most adorable pregnant person EVER! she is so spunky you would never guess she's 8mos PREGO if she didn't have a little lump!!hee hee  I had a GREAT time in utah visiting my friends --minus the freak'n freezing weather (i'm a wimp, it wasn't that bad if you're from ut) . Megan kept me busy with all kind of fun projects. I'm mad we didn't take pic of CARD night. I  went with Megan to her craft evening and got to make 8 homemade cards --scrapbook style! I was proud of myself.
