Howdy.

Time warp much? Yeah. That pretty much sums up how I have felt the last month. Seriously, time is flying yet in some ways going slowly.

Thursday night we decorated my friend, Kristi's, office. It was her birthday on Friday. We decided flowers were in order. She loved them even if she was at a conference on Friday and didn't get said flowers until today.

Friday night, Rueben and I went to my school's basketball games. The kids were funny about seeing us holding hands. We went to dinner between games and then went to play games at my friend, Jamie's, mom's house. It was way fun.

Saturday, I ran and then went to lunch with Morgan and Derek and their crew of wee ones. It was fun even if the wee ones were a bit crabby.

Saturday night, Rueb and I made dinner and then watched a movie.

Sunday we went to church and then to a Superbowl party. It was a blast.

Today was hard. I am sick of teenagers. Too bad I have to work with them so closely. I think 3rd term burnout has hit. Bummer.

Let's hope tomorrow is better!

One highlight of the day was waking up to the wee ones. I stayed with them because I had a doctors appointment in salt lake this morning. Ezra is almost my friend these days. One day he will realize how cool I am!

Late nights abound.

Random pics and I'm off to sleep. Work is work. Reuben is cute and so much more fun to spend time with than work or grading. I laugh at myself for all the times I have picked on other people about dating and engagements. I guess you never really get it until you are living it. Crazy.

Why so fast Saturday?

Weekends are going much too fast these days. Crazy.

Today was fun. Ran in the sun. 4 miles almost killed me. I was a pansy today.

Went ring shopping with Rueben. Yep, you heard it here first. I am getting married. The date is not set and it is not official(although different people have different definitions of official for being engaged. Some would say as soon as you decide to marry, others may say as soon as there is a ring and proposal. I am on the side of there is a ring on that finger. There is no ring. Rueben on the other hand is of the belief that it is when you decide to marry and has been introducing me as his fiancé the whole weekend. So I guess it's okay to talk about it on here.)

Someday when I am not tired I will tell you the whole month long story of us. Tonight you can just see pics of the ring. It isn't the real ring and it will be a bit different, but it is close. I will send more when the ring is really on my finger. Some of you may be completely shocked. Sorry I didn't call you or sent you any other news. I have been a busy girl the past few weeks. Rueben and I celebrated the start of this process via bowling, dinner and movies.

Cheers.

Tickets to Sundance.

A whole bunch of my friends including my boyfriend(gag....just kidding) are going to a Sundance Film Festival movie at the Sundance resort tomorrow night. It is going to be awesome. I loved being a part of the fest last year. What a way cool thing.

Here are some icicles that were hanging from the roof at the resort tonight. Jane and I picked up our tickets before going to our weight watchers meeting. Good times!

Should be a fun Friday! Yipee. It seemed to take an eternity to get to the end of the week. I am afraid we have reached the hard part of the year.

Nope Not a Funeral.

Hi. It's midnight. I don't get to bed much before now most days. I am not complaining because my life is very good now. And seriously, dating doesn't really measure how good life is, but when you are dating the right person it does make a huge difference. I am often finding myself wanting to gag after I say something cheesy about Rueben. Now, don't get me wrong, nothing about Rueben makes me want to gag. I just never thought I would be this cheeseball of a girl who gets all excited and mushy about what a man says or does. He is so good to me. I am finding it hard to believe that I have found such a great guy after all the years I have been looking. I keep asking myself where he has been the past ten years but always come to the conclusion that he was where he was supposed to be, learning the things he was supposed to be learning and becoming the person he was supposed to become. I too was doing that same thing the past ten years. And that, my friends is why I am often gagging these days. Cheeseball city!!!

In other news, it has been wear a certain color at school week amongst the teachers. It is a fun trick we play on the students every year. Usually by Wednesday the kiddos say something or another. Not too many have approached me about it. Yesterday was black day. It seemed very somber at lunch!

These flowers are not somber. I am a lucky girl and gag me with a spoon. But not really. Cheers!
