The end of 2007

This past year has been full of many changes, especially in the last 5 months. I broke up with my boyfriend of two years, started going back to church, started dating again which was weird after being with someone for two years, made some lifestyle changes such as taking out piercings, became super close with my family again, and biggest one of all started dating Eddy and we decided to get married. Overall this year has been pretty tough at times but I feel I have accomplished a lot for the better.

So Eddy and I are getting married on March 15th 2008. We have a lot to do in the next 2 and a half months. What an exciting way to start the new year! With the many changes happening in 2008 I have a few goals that I would like to set for myself.

1. Do not let planning a wedding effect my school work and stress levels.
2. Continue being consistent working out at the gym and retain the weight I am at.
3. Pay off credit cards.
4. Spend on a budget and save money.
5. Finish reading the Book of Mormon.
6. Receive Patriarchal Blessing.

As of right now these are the major ones that I would like to work on. I feel that they are realistic and hope that the new year will go smooth with all the major things happening!

The Sweetest Thing...

So Eddy and I decided on Thanksgiving that we wanted to get married. He asked my parents, who of course said yes, and we started looking for rings. Last Friday it became official! Eddy came to my house to pick me up and brought me flowers! We then went to dinner at California Pizza Kitchen. All through dinner he was teasing me about how I wasn't going to get my ring for awhile I knew of course that he was just as anxious as I was for me to have the ring on my finger! He told me that we had to stop by the Joseph Smith Memorial building to drop off some clothes for a friend that was attending a wedding reception there. Traffic was horrible and it took us forever to get there and then parking was full so we parked in front in the 5 min. parking zone and ran inside. Eddy was carrying a brown bag that supposedly had his friends clothes in it and "called" him to let him know we were there. We went upstairs to where it was looking over the huge Christmas tree. I'm looking at the tree when Eddy pulls a pink build-a-bear out of the brown bag I look at it confused and ask "why does Roger have a pink bear?!" Eddy laughs and hands me the bear saying it's for you! On the paw it says push me so I push the hand and a recording of Eddy's voice says, "Kayti will you marry me?" I'm so preoccupied with the bear that I didn't notice Eddy kneel down in front of me and get out my ring. I look down and almost started crying as he asked me himself if I would marry him! Of course I said yes and we kissed and hugged. It was honestly one of the sweetest things ever. I am marrying one of the sweetest guys alive!!

My Gorgeous Ring!

Flash Back Friday!

So this is the 16 year old me hanging out at Stephanie's Brothers' apartment one day. We were probably supposed to be in school but I am not sure and yes my shirt says oversized sacs it was from the love sac store. Nothing too exciting to share other then I was a blonde and will probably never do that again. I do miss my long hair though...
