I'm engaged!!!

YAY!! David asked and I said YES!!! so here is the big story :)

On Wednesday, April 27, 2011 David and I had been dating for 8 months. It's been an amazing 8 months! Well it started as a typical Wednesday. I had my presidency meeting and David and I planned to go to the gym after. My meeting went a little long, and I was trying to get done on time, but it happens. Well when I walked out to my car and there was a note with my favorite chocolate bar. This was the beginning of my scavenger hunt for our 8 months :) His cute little clue had a treat and what it symbolized in our relationship. The Dove chocolate was to tell me he wanted to give me everything I deserve.

The first clue had the letter I on it, with a cheat sheet if I got lost :) To find clue 2 I was sent to the gym that we work out at. At the gym there was a soda representing the bad soda habit we have.
Clue 2 sent me to the place we first met...my school. David came to help set my classroom up with one of our friends. With the next clue there was a pack of nerds, cause we really are just a couple nerds

Clue 3 send me to the home of our friends who we met through. Landon and Tanner were our common friends and the only way we would have met! I got a pack of smiles with the next clue to represent all the laughs we have together.

Clue number 4 Sent me to the place where he first told me that he loved me. It was his house. I found Reese's there which represents how we say Reese's different and that we have our differences , but we still love each other.
Next I went to my house where we spent the our first real hang out night under the stars talking for hours on the trampoline in my back yard.

Then I found Clue 7 in my house on the front room couch were we took our first picture with a nutrageous bar which represented how nuts we were about each other early on.

Next Clue was on the kitchen table where we share many meals. This is where I was to rearrange the envelopes which read "I LOVE YOU" then my last clue sent me to where we had our first kiss
On the door there was a picture of the temple and the last questions said "Enter for your last question :)"
As I entered the room the lights were out, David was standing in the middle of the room with red candles and flowers all around. Music was playing. He looked at me and told me that he didn't only want to be with me right now, but forever. Our song started to play and he got down on one knee, Told me he loved me and asked me to Marry him. I said Yes! He put the ring on my finger and now it's official. I'm getting Married to the most wonderful man in the entire world. I love David with all my heart and I'm so lucky to be his forever. I love you Babe!

Life is good :)

Near the end of March David and I went on our last little snowboarding trip. We went to Idaho to celebrate Jori's birthday. It was a fun time! I didn't run into quite as many trees this time around and the powder was fun. There was one time David and his brother decided to take a sharp turn into the powder to go a different way, well I tried to follow but needless to say i got stuck in the trees. David and Randy had the perfect view of me struggling to get out of the deep snow, eventually I made it :) We came to this spot where all of David's family liked to jump off so i was the photographer. As you will see from pictures I just got the landing and poof of powder flying....i'll have to work on my photography skills. haha but it was fun!
The following Friday was April fools. I tricked my students a few times during the day. First thing at about 7am (when my students start arriving at school) I laid down on the front table with a pillow and blanket. As my students came in I pretended to be sleeping. It was hilarious! They were all freaking out like "is she okay?" "go get the principal" "shhhh leave the lights off she's sleeping" "no! you're not allowed in!" "Miss. Burr is really sleeping" "Should we wake her up?" this went on for about 30 mins till school started. It was a good one! Thanks for the Idea Kylie!!

I also told them they had 3 pages of homework to work on over spring break! They believed me up until the point of APRIL FOOLS!

Then that night David and I met up with my parents and cousins in Provo. David got interviewed by my Aunts and Uncles on my mom's side of the family. It was intense, but funny
he did good :) a lot of teasing back and forth. I think they approve :)

Saturday was general conference. We were able to go to the morning session in SLC. Then David went with the boys to priesthood session. It was a nice day of relaxing and shopping while the boys were gone. Sunday I went back to Vegas with my parents since the following week was my Spring Break, and David went back to Logan cause he had school all week.

Spring break was fun. Not as warm in Vegas as i wanted, but i was able to do lots of fun stuff. My mom and I got our nails done. Cynthia did my hair. I went on a 3-4 mile bike ride with my
brother and his family. I was impressed that my nieces Brooklyn and Hailey did so well!! :) All in All the break was good, but I was happy to be back in Logan on Saturday. My flight was delayed so it took about 4 hours longer to get back than expected. But now a week has gone by and things are back to normal. :)

Went to Melissa's bridal shower this passed weekend! it was fun to see everyone! oh and i had my first experience of shrinking something in the washing machine....
It's been a good winter now Summer NEEDS to come!!!
