3 Months!!!

2009-05-20T16:30:00.000-07:00

Today is Spencer and me 3 month anniversary since he proposed to me. WHHOOOOOHOOO!!! and we only have 2 1/2 more weeks until we get hitched. It's soo crazy how close it is and i get to see him in 1 1/2 weeks, which is awesome as well...these past 4 weeks have been really hard not to have him with me. I have missed him soo much, and will continue to until I have him wrapped around my arms again. This is Spencer's new favorite picture of us, so I had to put it up here for him. I don't think its that great, but I want to make him happy when he sees this blog. I wish he was already here and we were getting married this weekend, but I know that time will come shortly, I just want it to hurry up. I have loved being home, but I am totally ready to be with Spencer again. It will be fun to have most of my family in town as well during that week, and Meghan and Audrey are coming for my wedding and they are going to be my bridesmaids along with my really good high school best friend and still is today Lauren. I'm soo excited to see them again and I know they are as well, because this will be the last time for Meghan and Audrey to see each other since they are both going on missions this summer. I miss all my roomies and friends as well because it was always nice to come home from school and have them there to hand with. The best though is when Spencer comes to see me after he was done with work, or class, and sometimes in between either of them. I love him and I know that he misses me a lot as well and is just as excited as I am to get married. I will never have to go through this miserable pain of not having with me for more then a month ever again. YAY for Spencer in finally not being mean to me before he proposed and for us getting married sooo SOOOON!! WHOO HOO!!!!

It's gonna be a blast to be married to him because he is so fun, and such a great person that is perfect for me, and I him. We balance each other out really well. I have NEVER in my entire life been so happy before. I love you Spencer and I miss you deeply. Hurry and get out to Georgia please!!

SNOW in April??

2009-04-15T15:15:00.000-07:00

I am furious today because it has decided to snow again and it's what the middle of APRIL. It should be spring time, not snow time. UGH!! I don't like the snow or the cold. Two days ago I was in shorts, rainbows, and a t-shirt. Utah weather is wack! I just want it to be beautiful springtime with all the flowers blooming and the trees becoming green again, while I wear shorts, my rainbows, and capris. We want it WARM!

Engagments

2009-04-12T12:24:00.000-07:00

So yesturday morning before it started raining hard, Spencer and I took our engagement photos, which was way fun...we had a really good family friend of our take them for us and I think they turned out wonderful, great, amazing!! Thanks so much Ben!!! It was the perfect day, besides the rain...I guess what I mean to say it was the perfect lighting for pictures....I am going to get a cd of all of them because he only emailed me about 25 out of 100...which might mean these were the only great ones...which is still ok because I really like the one of Spencer in the yellow and me in the black with my arms around his neck with the tree background.....it is his favorite as welll...well really our ultimate favorite is the one where he is dipping me...but we figured its not a great one to send as our photo withour invitations...so we will probably put itup in our apartment.......but, we might end up picking the other one, but who knows....invitations are coming along....and offically have my wedding dress...its hanging up in my room on the closet door and whenever I walk into my room I think...gosh...I picked the most gorgeous dress ever...and I love it even more....we still have lots of planning to do...but I'm not too worried about it....only 55 more days...WHOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Bridal Shower!!!!

2009-03-31T19:07:00.001-07:00

When my mom was in town, two weekends ago, we had my bridal shower and it was so much fun and way cute. Audrey and Meghan did an awesome job with theme, decorations, invitations, games, and the whole shabang... so many people came...I wish that we took a picture with everyone there, but we forgot...so meghan and audrey made awesome angel food cake with whipped creme and strawberry cupcakes, and then chocolate with creme cheese in the middle cup cakes and they were both amazing along with sparkling bubbly...we all dressed up in blackandwhite and wore our pearls to match the breakfast at tiffany's theme...which is perfect for me because I have a secret obession with audrey hepburn and that is one of my favorite movies of hers....but I had so much fun with everything...Meghan made a video of with asking Spencer personal questions and him answering them which was so cute and very funny to watch and for a while we played a game the whole time where you couldn't cross your legs or say my name and we got fake engagement rings that we could take away from other people if you catch them...I had 7 at one point, but I failed and gave up in the end....I love my friends and Thank you so much for everything that yall have done for me..yall are the best and I am so happy that we have become such great friends...THANK GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm ENGAGED!!

2009-02-21T08:39:00.000-08:00

Last Night Spencer proposed to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We went out to dinner at Tucanos and he made us an awesome love cd to listen to in the car,but of course I had NO idea that he was going to because he told me that he made it for our V-day dinner. SO we ate a lot of food, but Spencer didn't really eat as much as I thought he would because he was anxious to ask me later. So we left and came back to my apartment and I opened the door and there was rose petals and a candle light pathway leading to my room and more rose petals all over the ground and my bed, with disney valentines day cards with spencer telling me of ways he loves me. There was music play as well and it was perfect timing because when I opened thedoor it restarted over since my friends put it on repeat it was Brian Mcknights Back at One. So I went over to the ring box that was tied in a bow and couldn't open it because i was still in shock and really excited so Spencer had to do it(It had a button to push that I didn't see) so when he opened it, nothing in there. But I turned to him and he gave me a kiss, got down on one knee and said, "Kaitlin I want to be with you forever, Will you marry me?" Of course I said yess and he took the ring out of his pocket and put it on my finger and we danced some and it was totally perfect and totally unexpected. We then went next door where my friends were waiting and we all hugged each other like 3 times and we took a bunch of pictures. We don't have a date yet, but we will have one sometime soon. I am just so excited that I woke up really early this morning and I couldn't sleep at all because I am so happy and just this is so unreal and I have always dreamed of this moment. But now its not a dream anymore, its so real. Spencer is perfect, wonderful, funny, charming, nice, and really, really ridiculously good looking I am so excited for us to start our life together.YAY!!!!!!!!

President's Day Holiday Weekend!!

2009-02-20T11:58:00.000-08:00

This past weekend Spencer and I drove to Littleton, CO where I got to meet his parents and little sister. IT was a blast, including the car ride to and from. We had pizza and watched a movie friday night. Saturday we helped Spencer's dad with a work project, went to lunch with some of his high school friends, went to watch a baseball game of one of another high school friend, then went out to dinner with the fam that night. I was kind of sad because we were going to go to a mongolian barbecue, but the wait was 2 hours because of valentines day. So we went to a mexican resturant instead. Still good and fun. Sunday was church of course and meeting all of his friends at church and them telling me that they have been wanting to meet me/they have heard a lot about me, so that was fun and cool. Then we took some pics, Spencers mommy tookmuch more but with her camera so hopefully I will get those sometime. Then we had dinner steak and baked potatoes, my fav, TOok a nap, then we played some intense rounds of killer bunnies with spencers friends and family. I won twice, WOOO HOOO!!! The next day we had breakfast and then packed up the car and left, which spencer left a suit and his nice button up shirts and a nice sweater at home whichis way sad,but hopefully he will get them back some how. I really did enjoy every mintue of it and his family is really funny and nice. His house has a great feeling to it and i never felt uncomfortable. But I am way excited because tonight we are going to Tucanos for our V-day date and i am prepared to get stuffed to capacity. then saturday we might go to a masquerade dance withmy roommate, but im really not sure about that one and I Have always wanted to go to one so we shall see what happends.

So Many Options????

2009-01-15T14:38:00.000-08:00

SO there are way too many options for me to consider right now on how my life is going to turn out in the next months coming ahead....My first option is to just go home and get an internship with a landscaping company for the 4 months of break...which is kinda a long time to be away from all my friends and i have missed them so much from the last 2 summers of being home, but it is good that i get all the money that i can get/save....2nd....i can stay out in school for spring semester..and then go home for the last 2 1/2 months and get an internship with a landscape company still...and work while taking classes as well out in Utah for the first 2 months..like I'm trying to find a job now...but i have no success yet...still to be determined...anyways..i am really liking this option the best because this way my mommy gets me home still for 2 1/2 months...i work still for 4 months and then I wont be away from all of my friends for too long and i can got to my roommates wedding at the beginning of May..yes Ashely Vincent just got engaged on Tuesday night to Devon Gibby...they are going to be so happy together and are way cute..it is the first of my friends to get married...kinda of weird, sad, and exciting all at the same time...anyways back to my third option...i am kinda not really anymore but it is still a great option that is very rocky considering going on a mission...so i would do that...go home after finals and then leave sometime late june or early july....i dont really think i will be going on one anymore...but it still is a option that i am considering a itty bitty bit...school is going well for the first two weeks...i know this semester is going to take lots of hard work and busy work that all of my classes have assigned to me..but i think that i will manage and hang in there...just cant let my self have too much fun this semester..or classes will be the death of me...hahahaha....all the rest of my roommates are way good and so fun..i am soo glad that i met them all and that we have become bffs...college is the best time if my life...SO FAR....i know there is going to be many opportunities ahead that will be even better..but i can wait for now.....so please if anyone has any opinions or good ideas for me for the spring/summer...i would love to hear them..thanks and i love you all!!

What Happend on Christmas Break!!

2009-01-06T19:18:00.000-08:00

Soooo over the break, I was able to go home for about 2 1/2 weeks. It was way nice to truly relax and not worry about school at all. I made my first gingerbread house with what Alicia brought for us to make. She made the trees, reindeer, sleigh, snowmen, and Hansel and Gretel. We got to go to centennial park and ran into the middle of the awesome circle waterfall's and took a bunch of pics...it was funny because other people there kept running into them at the wrong time so they got all wet as the waterfall's came around to them....then of course I had to get a picture of our beautiful tree with many presents underneath it.......it was a great christmas..i got clothes, shoes, purses, quesadilla maker, P90x so then i will have an awesome beach body/ be in great shape..lotions lip glosses...scarf..gloves...peacoat...and......a beautiful necklace from my most awesomest boyfriend ever......hehehehe...hes so cute,, smart, wonderful, and way fun........overall christmas break was a smashing hit and a much needed vacation away from the cold/ all school work..but now its back to work work work...no time for fun...just work...jk...i will still have fun...but im so sad that school already started..and its like a snow globe over here because some one keeps shaking the globe..its never ending with the snow....snow snow snow snow everywhere we go......with our heater broken, its freezing in our apartment, so when we go to bed we bundle up in warm clothes and a big pile of blankets....PLEASE COME FIX OUT HEATER SOME ONE SOME WHERE.... WE ARE MISERALBE>.......ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

Welp!!..this ones for the boys!

2008-12-15T20:23:00.000-08:00

Welp...as you can see from the picture I finally got my wish for it to snow...but now that it is here...I'm not so sure that i really did want it cause it's too cold now to walk up to campus..but i guess thats what you get for wanting it to snow so badly...and i have played in it starting tonight because Spencer pushed me in it and then i threw snow balls at him well at least tried to they were just poofed into mist once thrown...not a good idea in blue jeans and with no gloves on....make sure you wear at least waterproof pants and gloves to throw/play in the snow...so the first picture is of Kyle...he thinks he is a fireman...we all give me support and play along with it..but poor guy....he really isn't and he is already 21...how sad..JK....this was when we adventured off the outback where we watched the byu vs air force game...we tried watching it just on tv in the apartment..but its wasn't on...then we tried at chili's...not on...then we successfully went to outback and cheered on a victorious win by the cougars....which are going to the vegas bowl...WHOOO WHOOOOO!!!...watch out arizona.....anyways..the next two pictures are of Spencer and I on an awesome double date with his freshman roommate down in salt lake...first we went to pie...which was probably one of the best pizza places that i have ever eaten at...the only bad thing was that it was right across from the enemies line (U of U)..
ewwwwwww..then we traveled over to temple square and walked around to see the lights... **note to oneself and everyone else...don't were flats after it has snowed...your feet with get numb and feel like they will fall off**...anyways....these boys are who i have been hanging out with lately and they are hilarious..there is also Austin, Joel, Nate squared and some other boys..but i dont have a picture of all of them...how sad..i really need to get one...someday soon i shall have one.....luckily i sat next to Spencer in History and he got my number or else I wouldn't of ever found these awesome, cute, funny (lookin) jk... boys to hang out with and all the wonderful memories i have with them now....YAY for Spencer (mainly me since I thought he was cute and I sat next to him)!!!

Let is Snow....Let it Snow... Let it Snow!!!

2008-12-11T16:21:00.000-08:00

So I really want it to snow before I leave Provo for Christmas break...really weird for me...i know since i normally don't really care for snow, but it will feel so much more like Christmas and winter time if it did snow...I truly feel like the right time to snow is during the month of December and January..but after that not so much the rest of the time that I am here til April...but whatever...i cant wait to build another snowman...snow angel...and go snowboarding....YAY!!!!!!!!....so please let it snow some at least before i leave and i will be very happy/maybe even do better on my
finals...well maybe not.......but that would be way cool....anyways...i
can't wait until i get to go sledding again as well and just play in the snow..last year my ward went tubing...way fun....o yeah...so please weather man...say it will snow so i can be happy and have it be truly christmas time.....

Thanksgiving

2008-11-25T09:24:00.000-08:00

SO..yesturday was thanksgiving...and umm umm was it wayy wayy waaaay good. I got up and helped my mommy the whole day preparing food. My family usually is all there, but now that they are all grown and up married with their own lives beside my brother Tristan and I, we where the only ones there this time...but anyways..we usually have thanksgiving traditions where the girls get up to help mom and watch the Macy's thanksgiving day parade of course, which was spectacular this year might i add. The boys go and have a turkey bowl and get all beat up...but my ward was lame this year and decided not to have one so my dad and brother had a turkey tennis bowl instead...where my dad whopped my brother...hahaha....then we invite certain people over from the ward each year who all bring food to contribute...it was soo good and i ate so much..i think i actually ate more then my brother this year...he was a weakling....anyways...after we finish with horsederves and dinner we all watch the cowboys game...where they always play on thanksgiving..go cowboys...and they won too yesterday...then we have dessert after we have settled our tummies and got hungry a little again...then we clean up after everyone leaves and watch a movie together...then today- next day- we go out to berry patch farms and get our christmas tree...a nice big fat one..this one is a 10footer i think this year......i love it all and i love the holidays with our awesome family traditions....YAY FOR CHRISTMAS COMING!!!!!!

the other pic is of Auds and I went to the mall one weekend and her sister Stephanie did our makeup..and then accidentally ended up dressing alike as well... school has been really fun meeting new people and starting up old friendships again...it has been very hard and stressful as well...football games have been awesome and we are 5-0 now ranked 9th in the nation....GO COUGARS!!!so theres my life in a nut shell...studying..eating...sleeping..and most important of all....HAVING FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Beach House

2008-08-09T17:54:00.000-07:00

A few weeks ago, my whole family came into town, but Pat, and only part of them came to the beach house. One day Tyler and Tristan decided to try and catch a crab and ended up catching three. We were hoping they would fight to the death but the only thing they did was try to crawl up the walls of our bucket to get out. IT was so nice and I am going back the weekend before I go back out the UT and get my knee surgery. Hopefully everything goes well and I am able to be up and about for school to start 4 days later, but we shall see. The next week we got back from the beach all but one person was in our house and it was crazy. I was kicked out of my room and then moved from room to room about three times until I ended up sleeping in my dads office on a mattress on the ground with my sister and my brother. At least this only lasted for about 4 nights....not to bad...It was tonz of fun to have almost everyone home though and we had a great time together. I am way excited to go back out to school to have a social life again and see my girl friends...... not to excited to start school again. once it starts then I will get back into the swing of things and it will all be ok....only 2 and a half weeks left... YES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yellow River Game Ranch

2008-08-09T17:35:00.000-07:00

SO when my sister was here we took our nephew and niece to this petting zoo called yellow river game ranch. It was really cool because they had deer and rabbits roaming around coming right up to you and eating out of your hand. This bear just opened up his mouth and stood there while we tried to throw it right into his mouth. It was really cool something that I never knew about. OUr cousins, the Howicks told us about this place. So we meet up with Brittany and her baby. There were so many different animals around like peacock, sheep, goats, donkeys, and so much more. If any of yall come to visit me here in GA, then we will defintately have to go here because it was totally redneck, but way cool at the same time.

Bush Gardens + Sea World Florida

2008-05-20T17:24:00.000-07:00

Last week my mom and I had a rode trip down
to Tampa, Florida to visit my sister Kelsey and her husband Pat.
We also went to Bush Gardens Africa and to Sea World. It was so much fun. My sister got a new puppy and we also brought my dog Beau. They were buddies right off the bat and played together all the time. Thursday we went to Bush Gardens, rode on awesome rides like Montu, Kumba, and Sheikra. Sheikra was a 180ft drop at a 90 degree angle in the beginning with tons of twists and loops. It was awesome, but my favorite ride was Montu because it was full of more turns and loops that was better than all the rides. We also went on a sky ride over the park and saw all the animals like giraffes, elephants, hippos, tigers, lions, and so much more. We also went on a safari and got close and personal with some of the animals there. It was a blast, but I think that I wasn't used to the heat and didn't drink near enough water because I totally got sick and dehydrated from lack of water. It was bad so Friday we decided just to go to the beach and save Sea World for Saturday. The beach was beautiful and just layed out all day as well as sitting under the shade to not get to dark. ANyWayS, saturday was excellent and I love sea World. I forgot how awesome and fun it is to watch all of the shows. My favorit was the dolphin show, the picture with all the blue. It was way better than the Shamu one because shamu only came out for about 3 mintues of the 30 minute show. Seeing the dolphins and the whales doing their jumps and tricks with the trainers riding them was really cool and amazing to see. We also went to a show called Odyssea. IT was like a Cirque du Soleil with the asian girls doing weird binds and twists with their bodies as well as trampiz and girls hanging on hoops high above the air. Everything was awesome and it was my favorite day spent in Florida, even though I was still feeling sick. Vacations are always fun and great memories to take with you, but it always feels good to go back home and sleep in your own bed instead of a hotel, or couch, which is what I was on, but it was so fun. Thanks to my mom again for always making moments and vacations worth while. I have always loved them no matter what and I am grateful for that and will definitely take awesome vacations with my own family someday for them to have great memories.

Today during church when I was in gospel doctrine with my mother and I was really hungry because I didn't eat any breakfast because I was to busy making some for my mom...Happy mothers day for all those moms out there...anyways. I looked in my purse to see if I still had candy from the movie and I found tonz of riesen's. They are so good I forgot how scrumptious they were and very addicting. When I ran out of them it was the saddest moment of my life cause I was still starving and wanting more riesen's since there so addicting. I then remembered that Lorina discovered them out at school this year and she became obessed with them. I'm tellin ya to watch out for those succors because they are out to hunt you. Then I remembered sponge bob and patrick my favorite cartoon show and Lorina likes as well. Its so funny and I can never stop laughing....Last night my parents and I went to the Atlanta symphony orchestra concert because there was a grand opening of a new amphitheater in alpharetta....I used to play the violin in middle school, but stopped because I thought it was nerdy...i was really good at it and since seeing august rush and the orchestra I really have wanted to start playing again...so I might get a new violin for my birthday JUNE 6th...o yeah...and there is this girl in my ward here who plays very well...so I might ask her to get me lessons...exciting....i will keep you updated on what really happens...

SO this summer is another fun summer of my nannying for two sweet little girls names Kaitlyn and Jacqueline...yess it was weird at first last summer to say my own name but I got used to it....this will probably be my last summer to sit for them because next summer I need to get a real job its part of my major, landscape management, to work for a landscape company so then I will be able to get better and come to know how to do things through a work experience.... nannying has been way fun that pays really well to get me through my college years so far...but I knew that it wouldn't last forever and I had to get a real job soo....I think that can wait till next summer or maybe winter semester..just need to see how things go at college with grades and things...this summer is the last summer full of going to the pool, movies, out to eat, driving to and from camps or other appointments, and so much more...well see how things go i have only begun and so has the summer..

Oh the beach....how I am longing to go there and I can't wait to go to FLorida in two weeks to visit my sister Kelsey and her husband Pat down in Tamp....I am way excited to get a tan and just to be at the beach...i love the beach all thanks to my parents taking me there every spring break....i was truly spoiled by that and totally miss it.....I will go again to Topsail, NC in July at our friends beach house. ITs BEauTifuL there and I have had some awesome experiences with my family and friends. How i truly miss the waves crashing down into the ocean as I drift into deep sleep, the sand between my toes as I walk up and down the shore, or the sun beating down my face while I make sand castles or just lay out to get a tan. O how excited I am to see the ocean again.....

This is Audrey and I. I love her so much because she is hilarious and is always making me laugh. This was when we went tubbing with our ward before we left. It was really sad because like 2 minutes after we left my buckle on my snow pants broke. We even took a pic, but I dont have that one. I am really going to miss that girl this summer because she is always crazy and come up with great ideas to do like have a MJ party or go to get ice cream at 12 at night or stay up and just talk with everyone else laughing really hard. ITs a really good ab workout you should try it because laughing hard is really fun.
