The day came....December 13, 2009....about a week ago....that Glenn A. Nielson decided that I was to be his eternal companion and I agreed with him! So we are getting married on Feb. 12, 2009 in the Provo Utah Temple! After we finish our final semester we will be heading to the great white north- well not that far north but pretty close- Wyoming here we come! Feel free to drop by whenever!

Here are some pictures that caught the moment of that AWESOME night!

So I had a fabulous birthday--yes I know it was a month ago- BUT I wanted to share the story and now I feel like I have time to actually do that- terrible I know!

These flowers came from my dear brother John who had them delivered to me at work! Oh what an awesome brother he is! It was quite funny to watch everyones faces as they saw mine

These roses were left on my doorstep by some "random bystander" I am sure at 12:45AM on November 4th- I could have sworn that I heard people in the bushes!!!

I wanted a DQ cake--so I bought one to share with Nate the security guy from Canada who shares the same birthday as me!!! Oh I love DQ cakes!

Walking outside those "random bystanders" also made some sweet remarks on my car and....

left me and my entire neighborhood a sweet happy birthday sign strung between two large trees!- man- random is fantastic!

This is my cowboy at his finest!  Actually I had to do an assignment for my geography class about something in Provo that shows what goes on here. So I decided to show what a cowboy from Wyoming would do here on the weekends- you know how they bring a little Wyoming to Provo!

Should have known that things were going in the right direction since we land at Temple Square ALL the time.  This was a trip to go through the temple with a dear friend getting ready for her mission- yay for sister missionaries!

This was a fun night- we went up to SLC to meet Bret- Kinsey's (glenn's sister) finacee who was flying into SLC to surprise her.  It was a great night- one to always remember!  Not to mention these sweet pictures!

So I have realized that unless I update my blog no one will ever look at it- I am such a genious really. Today was an adventure. I decided to head up the canyon for a bike ride- you know getting in shape and everything. It was cold and cloudy so I put on my leggings- thermals if you will and borrowed a friends bike- strapped my ipod on and headed out. As I was nearing the canyon the wind started blowing quite fierce- I wish I could have watched myself as the wind blew- it nearly knocked me off my bike twice! There was nothing like being up there though. I loved it- numb fingers, dripping nose and burning thighs later counts that adventure among the best!
I have been endeavoring to get in shape- for numerous reasons really and it has been going well. I am heading up to Cody Wyoming on Tuesday for a Thanksgiving holiday. Why? Well I was invited by this dashing young man- Glenn. The adventures will consist of hunting, hiking, and probably horses- more later on that one.......;)

Oh man- what an experience!!!  Nothing like swimming and breathing underwater and laying on the floor of the pool.  I just can't believe that I have actually been scuba diving- what an experience that EVERYONE should at least try at one point in there life!

Watching the bubbles coming up did make me a little nervous--not going to lie but then as I stopped to smell the roses my breathing relaxed and I was able to get a hold of myself.  Nothing like looking for hair balls in the deep shadows of a pool in Springville! No joke- they were really down there

OOOhhh Black eyes! Joker?

Ski Lift Anyone???

So a great adventure into the mountains of Sundance.  Riding the ski lift and then hiking over to Stewart Falls.  The colors were awesome- especially the yellows of the Aspen trees! And to top it all off there was no one else around. So the peace of the mountains was really strong.

So this week has been one of fun adventures- writting papers that is- getting ahead even in some areas which is something that hasn't happened since the very beginning of the semester but hey the distraction has been very welcome. Glenn Nielson from Wyoming. He is studying economics and graduates this spring. He is a cowboy- raised on a ranch and is in love with the mountains. One of 8 kids and the only boy- so yes that means he has 7 sisters! He lives across the street from me which also adds to the convience of being a distraction. We've been dating about a month and it gets better everyday. He took off this weekend and left me with a great surprise!

So here I am finally getting the opportunity to sit down and update this old thing- though not going to lie I haven't really had a whole lot going on that would be exciting except a young man named Glenn Nielson. That will be for another log though. This one is for the AWESOME trip I went on to Goblin Valley! It was for one of my classes- yes I know sounds ridiculous but hey it ws a blast. Here are some of my pictures!
