Check Lists!

I'm not gonna lie, even though it is only the day after I got engaged I already have check lists for planning! This morning I already made about 100 phone calls! But the number ONE thing on my check list was to CALL THE TEMPLE! I could barely sleep last night because I was so excited to call the temple to get the date set and time set! I can not explain how excited I am to go to the temple! I know that it is going to be the best day of my life! Bo and I have chosen the Vernal temple because it's kind of special to both of us. It will also be convenient to all of our traveling family ;) So I guess I can say, it is official! We are getting married :D

Yep! It Happened!!!!!!!!!

Last weekend Bo and I went ring shopping! We were a little nervous and didn't really know what to expect. Before we went shopping we went to Cafe Rio in Provo. When we pulled into the parking lot we saw this little jewelry store and wondered if that would be a good place to go. After lunch we thought we might just check it out. Turns out ring shopping was actually really fun! We had a good time with each other! The place we went was so nice! It was smaller but that was just what we needed. The workers were so nice. A girl helped us and she didn't pressure us or anything. She was really helpful to both of us. We had a wonderful day!

Sooooo... I have to say that this weekend was one of the BEST weekends I've ever had. Considering we went ring shopping I knew the proposal part was going to come soon. I really didn't expect it to be this soon though. I thought the whole process of buying the ring would take longer so it would at least be next weekend. But, I was wrong!! Today when I woke up I texted Bo to let him know I was awake. He told me he wanted to see me but his sister had his car cause she was visiting a friend so he asked if I could go to his house. I agreed of course cause I wanted to see him as well. So, I got all ready cause I didn't know if I would have time to go back to my house to get ready for church then headed to his house. When I opened the door there tons of cute papers hanging from the ceiling. The first one said "things I love about Kayla" and the rest of them had words and pictures on them. They lead to Bo's room and when I opened his door he was down on one knee holding the ring! He asked me to marry him and of course I said YES!! Considering Bo didn't propose on Saturday I thought for sure he wasn't going to do it til a later time. I was so surprised! I am so excited to start yet another chapter in our lives!





Before Bo left on his mission he started calling me Begonia Head. It has kinda stuck around and we now both call each other Begonia... I don't really know why :D So he bought me begonias. He had to search for them. Nowhere had them but Roosevelt. I love them!


The papers that hung from the ceiling were all made by Bo and his mom. They stayed awake til 5 in the morning making them. I love them! He made them so they could be made into a book after we took them off the ceiling! He is so creative!


The ring!


P.S. If anyone has wedding advice or especially dress shopping advice please let me know ;)

Brand New Concert!

Last Friday a bunch of my friends and I went to the Brand New concert! It was so much fun! I have been waiting for this concert since before October. I bought a ticket to go in September and the concert got cancelled in October. But the good news about it was that Bo got to go with me :D! We had a blast! The crowd was CRAZY! I've never been in a mosh pit like that before, there were soooooo many people. We all fell over twice. Not gonna lie i got so scared and the first time a fat guy landed on me and the second time someone landed on my knee sideways. I thought it was gonna break but it was all good! When that all happened it was only the second band so we figured that when Brand New actually played we were gonna die so we got out of there haha! But we LOVED seeing Brand New! Worth every minute!

Crowd in front of us...

Crowd behind us...

UGH!!!

So in October I think, I came home to find the extra bathroom ceiling in our downstairs leaking. My parents were gone so I just put buckets under the leaks. When they got home we spent the night tearing down the ceiling. Then, just a few weeks before Christmas the pipes were leaking in the wall behind the door in my bedroom. We had to tear down that wall as well. NEXT.... I heard water leaking in my shower the other day. Thinking it was just my shower head I didn't check it at first but it didn't stop so I decided to check it out. Come to find out the ceiling was leaking in there! UGH! It's so frustrating cause I knew my dad would have to come home and tear it all down. It's not fun having all the dust in my room and the smell of the wet insulation. Needless to say, my parents didn't want this process to keep continuing so they are replacing the plumbing in the basement. This weekend the ceiling the the hallway and the ceiling in my bathroom got tore down. There is dust EVERYWHERE. In the end it will be worth it but the process of getting there is not very fun haha! Wish us luck!

New Purchase

I just purchased these boots! They came in the mail today! I am soo excited! I've been looking for boots for a really long time. The only thing is about them is they have 3 inch heels on them! Ah!!! 3 inches may not seem like much, I don't really know, but you better wish me luck that I don't end up in the hospital with a broken or sprained ankle :S

Another New Chapter

Well, another new chapter in Bo and my life has started. Bo officially started school last week. I am so excited for him! I'm excited for him to have college experiences and I'm not gonna lie I am glad he has started school cause then he is that much closer to being done haha! Last weekend I went to visit him. I had a lot of fun! Bo works night shifts at his work and he had to work Friday night so I kind of just hung out while he worked. On Saturday we went and saw Sherlock Holmes and made dinner. We were gonna go bowling with a couple of our friends but the wait was like and hour long so we went to Spoon Me for some yummy ice cream (hence the pic)!
I love when new chapters come along in my life. Sometimes I am a little hesitant when I know they are going to begin, but I know that they have to happen! This chapter in my life is bitter/sweet. I miss seeing Bo every day but I am excited for the new experiences!
