Bridals

So Jared and I tied the knot on May 09, 2009 (the happiest day of my life) but I havent gotten the pictures back yet. We actually just got back from our honeymoon yesterday! Which was suppose to be a Mexican cruise but it was cancelled so we went to California.. so right now Im just going to post pictures of my bridals and then when I get wedding pictures back on Wed. night I will blog about the wedding. And then after that I will blog about the Honeymoon.. Im trying to keep things in order.. So here are a couple of Jared's and mines favorite pictures. The pictures were Taken by Jeff Haslam Photography (and he is great! I loved him and his wife!)Here you go..

Very Good News!

I know it has been a long time since I have posted anything but I decided that I better create a post and share the good news with everyone… Me and Jared are engaged! We are getting married May 9th (really soon!) and this is how he proposed.. We were in California the beginning of last week because Jared was interview at a school out there to try and get into their doctorate program, so when we first got there we went to Laguna Beach and just relaxed in the sun all afternoon. Then we went over to Huntington Beach to do a little shopping. Then he wanted to go back to Laguna to watch the sunset (I should have known something was up)so we are walking down the beach towards the rocks and he has his jacket wrapped around his hand, so I tell him I can put it in the beach bag. And he tells me that it is keeping his hand warm and so I’m thinking he’s just being strange but little did I know he had the ring hiding in his jacket.. So we climb up on the rocks and took some pictures. So as we were sitting looking at the sunset Jared say to me “you know I love you right” and I say “yes, I love you too.” Then he says “I want to spend the rest of my life with you” and I say “So do I” and then he says “can I ask you a favor?” and I say “Depends on what that favor is?”(I totally didn’t even realize what he was doing..) Then he got down on one knee and said “Kathleen, will you marry me”.
Isn’t that so Romantic and Perfect!!! And I love the ring he picked out for me. I didn’t even help him or anything; I was/am very impressed that’s why I’m including a picture so everyone can see how well he did. Also the other picture is right after he proposed. Isn’t it so beautiful!

California!

I know, I know, I suck at creating blogs...
A little bit ago me and Jared went to California to visit his best friend Tim and wife Sandy and the 2 cutest little girls, Kennedy and Cams.
We had so much fun! Jared took us to Korea town to eat (that's where he served his mission)I actually tries Kimshi (That rotten cabbage folks, apparently Koreans love it!) ( this is a picture of Kimshi)

Ya.. This is how the bring the fsh out to you.. All intacted and deep fried..
This is one of my favorite pictures.. Kennedy really likes that rice.



Before dinner that night we went to Universal City, which was fun







Jared and Tim Also did some surfing while we were there.


I collected sea shells on the beach because it was windy and a little bit cold for me..



We were on the beach at sunset and it was so beautiful


This is Tim and Jared practicing their praying mantis..

We flew out of San Dieago and we got there a little early so we went down to the Harbor because they have a bunch of old ships you can go through. It was really cool. They have the ship that they used in the movie "Master and Comanders"





They also had a really cool submarine..






This is me trying to take a picture of me and Jared.. It didnt really work out..




All in all it was a really fun trip, and I had a blast spending time with Tim and Sandy and Kennedy and Cams. Also Tim and Sandy let us crash with them which was really nice of them. It was a great Trip!

SO it's been awhile..

Ok so I know it has been forever since I’ve written anything.. Ok even forever might be an understatement.. so there is a ton that has happened.. I no longer work in Layton, however I do miss the peeps I worked with.. I now work downtown Salt Lake and I really enjoy it. The people I work with are great and really nice… And still have the lizard.. I dressed him up as Batman in honors of “The Dark Knight”, which Jared and I thought was awesome with a capital A! We saw it at a drive in with our friends Bart and Carrie ( I really want to go see it again at an IMAX theatre, Jess & Beau saw it at one and said it was great!) Let see what have Jared and I done this summer… We went up camping with my family for my step moms family reunion and that was a blast! Except for that Hayden flung a flaming marshmallow on Jared’s foot and burnt it pretty good.. Jared and I went on a four wheeler ride
and we almost got attacked by a devil cow.. No seriously this cow was evil.. We were going up this trail and the cow was standing in the middle of the road so we thought that it would just move, so we eased forward slowly and it just sat there and glared at us, he was getting ready to charge, I swear. So Jared casually put the four wheeler in reverse and we booked it out of there.. below is a very blury picture of the devil cow, but look closely and you can see it's devil horns..Jared also whittled us some really cool walking sticks.. All of my Aunts were trying to get Jared to give the walking sticks to them instead of keeping them for us.. It didn’t work though.. On Sunday when we were coming home we had to book it because it was Jared’s dad’s birthday and we wanted to make it back in time for dinner, its always so much fun to be around Jared’s sisters and his dad. So all in all it was a really good weekend. We also went up to Bear Lake with my family and Jared’s little sister Kaydee came with us..Oh my gosh I love this girl! She is so much fun and not to mention hilarious! We’ve been to Lagoon a couple of times. Last time we went with Jared’s sister Jessica and her little girl Emma (her husband Kyle was working) his other sister Emily and her husband and little boy Brent and Damon and Kaydee was there as well, and that was a lot of fun. We’ve been to a couple of weddings this summer, 3 of Jared’s friends have gotten married this summer. Also Jared’s really good friend Tim and his wife Sandy are in town with their two little girls Kennedy and Camyron, which Camyron is only like a month old and she is soo adorable. So we went out to eat with them the other night to CPK and it was a lot of fun and good to hang out with them. They are really great and fun! About 3 weekends ago I went to Las Vegas to visit my mommy! She was down there for a tax convention and she was staying at my Aunt Gail’s house so I flew down for the weekend, Jared was going to come but he couldn’t get off work so it ended up being a girls weekend which was fun even though I missed Jared  Oh and what is Vegas without drunk people.. I was proposed to in Vegas by a complete stranger, I might add he was drunk…Flattering as it was I had to turn the poor fella down…Im already taken.. Another exciting thing that happened this summer.. Emily (Robinson) is got married on August 30! Hooray! I saw your bridal pictures Emily, and they are absolutely beautiful! Clayton is a lucky man.. And something not so exciting about this summer, well I guess it is exciting just not fun.. I started going back to school. Yep that’s right, I’m finally finishing up school. I probably wouldn’t have done it without Jared though. I’ve always wanted to go back to school but lacked the motivation to do it but Jared help push me to get back into it. I have a really great boyfriend who treats me better than I deserve. I consider my so extremely lucky to have him. One more fun thing we did (there are a couple of others but for the sake of time and space I’ll have to mention them some other time) Jared and I went up to Evanston WY with our friends Bart and Carrie (newly weds might I add, they got hitched the same day as Em) for the Rodeo and fair and that was a blast. I got to wear cowboy boots! Well cowGIRL boots I guess. It was a lot of fun, it was like a mini vacation that was really really cheap. To the left is a picture of me and Jared in Evanston right before we went to the Cowboy bar to go dancing..
Well that’s all for now, I think my next post will be about mine and Jareds birthdays and I'll post more pictures as well

*Sigh*

So this weekend I watched “Becoming Jane” and “Pride and Prejudice” which are both movies that I love! I absolutely adore the main male characters in these two movies; Thomas LeFroy, played by James McAvoy



and Mr. Darcy, played by Mathew MacFadyen.



When you first see the movies you will probably find that you do not find these two leading characters very attractive, but you will notice that as the movies go on they become more and more attractive by the minute.. My favorite lines that these two leading characters say are: For Thomas LeFroy it is when he and Jane are outside talking after he has offended Jane once again and he is upset that Jane is going to marry Mr. Weasley and so Jane kisses Tom and Tom tells her that he has no money and no property and depends entirely on his Uncle and can not yet marry but she has to know how he feels then he says (which is my favorite line)>“I am yours Jane, I am yours heart and soul” ( doesn’t that just give you goose bumps, it does me..) ok I actually have 2 favorite lines the other is after Jane finds out that Tom is engaged and Jane and her brother are walking through the forest and they run into Tom and Jane congratulates Tom on his engagement, very snidely, and Tom tries to offer an explanation and just kind of gives up and says “I can not do this” and runs over and kisses Jane and then says “Jane, I have tried! I have tried and I cannot live this lie.. can you? Can you Jane” and then later says“What value would there be in life, if we are not together?” (goose bumps once again…)
Then my favorite line from Mr Darcy is when he follows Elizabeth after church to that really cool pavilion and he confesses his love (even though he insults her first) but my favorite part is where he blurts out “I love, I love you. most ardently.”( I totally melted when he said this) Ok so on this one I also have two favorite lines. The second is at the end where Elizabeth cant sleep and she goes out for a walk in the early morning and low and behold who is that walking out of the mist? The one and only Mr. Darcy and he aproches her and and they both say they couldn’t sleep then Mr. Darcy says “You are too generous to trifle with me. I believe you spoke with my aunt last night, and it has taught me to hope as I'd scarcely allowed myself before. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. And I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.” (that’s right goose bumps again)

Maybe I just love these lines so much because I’m a hopeless romantic and could only imagine someone saying something even remotely close to those passionate, heart felt, yearning words to me.. One can only hope..
