-School Update-

So, as an update...Benjamin will have only ONE MORE SEMESTER until he graduates with his undergrad degree in Architecture. He is extremely excited...as most would be. Time is coming up quickly! Two weeks after he graduates is the big day for the both of us. We are going to get married in the Chicago Temple.

--What is Going on in My life!--

First of all...I AM GETTING MARRIED SOON...more like 7 months away...but soon! I am extremely anxious and cannot wait to get married in the temple to my sweetie pie!

And, as most of you know I attended BYU-I for 2 years and was studying Business Management. I loved the school, friends and the overall feeling of the school. I look back knowing it was probably one of the best choice I have made. But after a few semesters and going to many business classes, still thinking and such about if it was a good idea...it didn't feel so great! So, I came home took semester off. Hair school was brought up and thought, hey! why not!? So, I applied for Aveda Institute of Beauty and Wellness and I was accepted!! (Wahoo!!) It was random, but I feel like it is the right thing to do! But for an update in a nut shell, that is what is going on!

-Getting to know Benjamin-




So, my boy has this problem with taking pictures WAY TOO OFTEN! But it is probably a good thing, because I am not really one that takes pictures, so he captures moments very well! Here are some of his fun/ artsy photos! Check out his website!

The Proposal!


Well, I get the questions..how did he propose?! So it may be cheesy, but it is quite cute!

He drove down from Minneapolis to get to Milwaukee around 3:30 A.M!...nuts, I know! But earlier that week he told me he wanted to pick me up for lunch and that he has a gift from the Buckle for me...yes, he still works there! So I thought well it is earrings or something, but I didn't want him getting me anything. So he gets to Milwaukee quite early and meets me at work, so I was pretty excited. He then takes me to lunch at this park by a gazebo and had sandwiches, drinks, dessert and then he brings out the box wrapped in cute paper and it ended up being a pair of jeans I have wanted. So I was excited!! Then I pull out the jeans to take a look at the pockets ( always look at that part first!) and I feel this box in the butt pocket...and I pull it out and I looked at him and said shutup, this is not nice! And he smiles and laughs and takes the box and gets down and asks me to marry him! And I still was in shock and kept saying this is not nice and just smiling and not believing it...but it was for real! And the sad thing is, he bought me some real yummy lunch and I couldn't finish it because I was so excited!

But that is the cute proposal and couldn't have asked for it to have been better!
