Caity came and it was so super fun! We stayed up late, woke up late, went shopping laughed and ate. We went to Ikea and scored some awesome deals and I am so so excited about decorated our house! I will take pictures in the process. Hopefully me not saying much about the trip will motivate Cait to explain in greater detail and post on her blog and stuff.



So today I had the rare desire for exertions of athleticism. Mostly because it is so beautiful outside today (62 degrees and sunny)-seriously spring has just begun here, general conference we were covered in snow. I woke up to the sound of lawn mowers. I love that on a Saturday morning! I geared up and got ready to go. I realized on my run through the neighborhood how picturesque Orem is. Seriously, it felt like a movie. I ran past little girls making hopscotches with pictures of their families, boys on their bikes and their dogs following them, and many many people gardening. It was the best(maybe first) run I've had all year!

Philly has a final, like right now, and he also has one at eight tonight. Is that not totally wrong?? So we'll play in between, and you better believe frisbee will be involved.

best songs I ran to today;
Saviour by Lights (includes lyrics "I just wanna run to you!")
Alive With the Glory of Love by Say Anything
Mamma Mia by Abba
Crazy Love by Mindy Gledhill
Say a Little Prayer for You by the Glee Cast
Defying Gravity from Wicked (cool down)

This is both right and relevant.

My ring is perfect.


I can't stop looking at it. This was taken in the Marriott Center this morning and it was super sparkly! The center stone is my Annie's.

These are a few pictures of us with Philly's siblings, his two sisters Rachel and Andrea. This was in Florida, maybe on Christmas day? I'm not sure. I feel like these pictures demonstrate a lot of how I feel about Philly's family. We went hot tubbing and swimming quite a bit while we were there (the weather was gorgeous). I had suggested strongly that we all jump into the pool holding hands. For those of you who know me (who would read this who doesn't know me??) this is not an outrageous request, and I am sure a few of you have experienced my begging. I don't know why, it's kind of silly. But the point is was that I was indulged. I truly felt like Philly's whole family accepted me and loved me for who I am. I felt so at home and comfortable and we have so much fun together! I know Philly feels this way about my family too, which makes me just feel so grateful! I am so excited that we can be apart of each others families and make more memories together!


I get to marry him!
