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!

Teen Memories

I remember spending my teenage summers working as lifeguard taking every quiz in every cheesy teen magazine we could get our hands on. Blogthings is pretty much a flashback of fun summer days and silly quizes!

You Are Summer!

Outgoing
Friendly
Flirty
Cute
Fun


You're a Playful Kisser

Kissing is a huge game for you, a way to flirt and play
You're the first one to suggest playing spin the bottle at a party
Or you'll go for the wild kiss during a game of truth or dare
And you're up for kissing any sexy stranger if the mood is right!




You Are a Normal Girl

You are 40% Good and 60% Bad
Sure you've pulled some bad girl stunts in your past.
But these days, you're (mostly) a good girl.


I know your all going to go to blogthings.com right away and start answering questions! Have fun!

Christmas Pictures









I think I took about 500 pictures.. so i just decided to post a few!

CHRISTMAS AT THE HAWLEY HOUSE


This year it was a little crowded Mom, Dad, Me & Brian, Morgan & Valerie, Hillary & James, Claire, and Katie...wait my grandma Zola was here a lot too! That is a lot of people to squeeze into my parents house. It was fun to have my brother and his wife Val here it was their first Christmas with us since they got married. I loved having the family all together! We all had so much fun! I was a little worried that my family would be too much fun and excitement for Brian but he handed them with ease! On a more shocking note my family likes him! I think this is a first for the Hawley’s usually at least one-person hates who I am dating. Yes! There have been times when they all hated who I was dating. (Maybe some of you remember this) I was very relived that Brian fit in so well since I plan on keeping him around! My favorite part of him being there was the day we went and looked at sparkly jewelry, the kind that goes on your left ring finger!! He is being sneaky and will not tell me when it will be made or when he will get it! I am very excited and I think is pretty romantic that he want is to be a surprise!

Life's Lessons

Here are a couple of things I learned this past week while dealing with my foot surgery.


1. I didn't know I could miss someone so much! My mom has been a huge help and so have all of my friends but I just keep asking for Brian. When I was coming to after the operation I just asked the nurses over and over if Brian was there. Ha Ha! I’m pretty much a sucker for him!



2. Your hip is an important joint! Mine has been immobile and is now missing chunks of bone. Yeah It HURTS!

3. When the doctor tells you will want a nerve block believe him. It was the best; it numbed my foot pain for the first 24 hours.

4. I could never be addicted to pin pills I loathe taking them and how they make me feel.

5. When the doc says they are going to rebuild your foot they mean it ...not only will the x-rays look like something you haven’t seen but it will feel like they just cut yours off and put someone else’s on there for you.

I will stop complaining now. Sorry I had to vent a little I have been in the worst pain I have ever felt. I am so thankful for my friends and family who have tried so hard to cheer me up. I am pretty lucky to have such a loving fan club.

Surgery

Next Wednesday I am having foot surgery. I got in a car accident 9 years ago and as a result my ankle is fused. It always hurt a little but recently that changed. I was on a date a month or two ago and took a step, I yelped, almost fell over, and then cried. I could handle the pain but the embarrassment of squealing from the pain in public not a chance. I made an appointment the next day. When I went in the Doc said he could fix it but he had only done similar surgeries a hand full of times (as if I m not nervous enough!). We scheduled for December 12th. It is rapidly approaching and I am franticly trying to pull together sub plans for 13 days of school, I wont be back until January 11th.

I am sure you are fascinated and want to find out what they are doing when they bust out the power tools in the O.R. Here is the list!

1. They are cutting off my heel
2. They are cutting threw the bone in the joint that was fused when I was 17.
3. They are cutting 2 cm of bone out of my hip
4. They are taking my hip bone and sticking it in my ankle joint
5. They are fusing it, this means they are screwing it all together until the bones heal and the joint won’t move.
6. They screw my heel back on.

I am pretty much scared to death. It is going to hurt like HELL! I am going to be in a wheel chair for 6 to 8 weeks not to fun! I goggled images to find some pictures but they were all very scary. So that is the only other eventful thing going on in my life, well other than my whole falling for Brian thing!
