10 DAYS!!!
I am moving out of Utah n 10 days!!!! I have mixed feelings about this... I have lived here for the past 8 years... and I have great friends here and I have learned to love the state but at the same time I can't wait to be living in the same state and even the same house as Brian!!! I have been packing for a while now and Brian and his brother Jared and my sister Claire all came for the weekend and we packed and carried things down all of the stairs (I live on the 4th floor). Thanks for helping!!! So before I head out of town I would love to see some of you guys.

Easter
The next few posts will my attempt to catch up. I finally went to check out my new home and I loved it! The only bad part about going back there was the fact that I had to return to Utah ALONE and keep teaching for a few months. Being there and seeing what lays a head was so exciting! I meet my soon to be friends & family (Brian’s sisters and mom). I was a little nervous to meet the women in his family because I know what a hand full the ladies in my family are... we can be SCARY! They turned out to be great not scary at all! This was a huge relief because I was stressing about it! I do have some big shoes to fill the other sister-in-law in the family is pretty much amazing! I am sure I am going to be begging them to hang out with me this summer while I am at home and Brian is at work. Okay, I will probably be begging them to get me out of the house or at least for directions! I was relieved by a few of the retailers I discovered... Trader Joe's, Baja Fresh, & H&M (to name a few). I guess I am not really moving to a big barren swampland full of bugs and snakes (this is what my sisters love to tell me my future is going to be like). They are so wrong! I am counting down the days until I get to move I HATE being away from Brian! The pics are acouple of the engagement pics we took and a pic of my soon to be home!

My parents LOVE him and cant wait for him to be part of the family. We are getting married in my 5th grade teachers back yard (ok so maybe I always loved teachers).

MY RING
I love it! You have to see it in person! It realy sparkles! I will add more pictures as soon as I can.
I AM GETTING MARRIED!
I AM ENGAGED! First of all let me start of by saying that I think I am probably the luckiest girl ever! I am pretty sure I am indebted to Heidi and Shaunna for the rest of my life. I will post pictures as soon as I get a chance I am house-sitting and my computer can't pick up the internet. I don’t think Jenny (the person I am house and dog sitting for) would appreciate me putting tons of pictures onto her computer. Still, I had to write the whole mushy story. Brian left a couple of hours ago and I just stopped crying my eyes out! I hate it when he leaves! Ok, here’s the long and lovey story.
Friday morning 2 dozen roses were delivered to my school. My friend Sarah brought them into my classroom and stayed for me to read the note. It said "My Love, I hope these brighten up your day. I will see you sometime very soon". I freaked out wondering how soon very soon was. Brian had told me that he was going to be in some stressful budget meeting and his phone would be off. I started wondering if he might be on a plane and not in meetings. I was then obsessed with asking any and ever adult I saw if they thought very soon meant he was on a plane. A few hours later he appeared in my school cafeteria. I was so surprised I hugged and hugged him and children ran up yelling "HI MISS HAWLEY"S BOY FRIEND!” He brought presents for my students, mechanical pencils and little stone information books. My students were very excited and asked him tons of questions like when he was going to marry me, and if we wanted a boy or a girl kid first. He handled it well until they asked him about having twins. His face was priceless!
When my class went home we headed to my house so I could shower and change out of my oh so sexy Farnsworth Elementary sweatshirt. He had been telling me my ring would not be ready for weeks and weeks. I was thinking he just flew out to surprise me he is so sweet that he would do something like that. I wasn’t very suspicious of any thing but, I had to check every compartment in his rental car just to be sure! I didn't find anything! He told me I had an hour and a half to get ready. It takes me a long time to do things with my limited mobility (crutches). I was ready early this is kind of shocking if you know me. We headed out to a mystery Italian restraint that turned out to be Spencer’s steak and chop house. If you haven’t been there I recommend it! It was very romantic! He had reserved a corner booth in the back that was very private. At this point I was still 90% sure that he wasn't going to pop the question. We had a delicious and leisurely dinner.
After dinner he asked what I wanted to do. I replied by saying that I wanted to get engaged. Ha I didn’t know I was really about to! We headed to some place he wanted to check out. This place just happened to be the Grand America hotel. Once we got there I was about 50% sure he WAS going to ask. We went up o the top of the hotel and in the room were 3 dozen red roses in a vase that was hand painted with matching glasses. The glasses said true and love. He had his big sister Melissa [paint them. He is so thoughtful! The room overlooked all of Salt Lake and had a beautiful view of the snow covered mountains. It was so romantic. We sat down and talked and smooched and talked some more. After changing the topic away from us getting married a couple of times he asked if I wanted to be his wife. I was like, yes are you thinking I don’t want to be? Then he smiled got on one knee and pulled out a beautiful yellow ring box with an even more beautiful ring in it. He asked if I would marry him and be his wife. I gushed a YES, shed some happy tears, and kissed and kissed him!
I am so excited to marry him! I can't wait to be his cute little wife! He was definitely worth the wait because I really don’t think there could be anyone who is more perfect for me!
