!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SHE'S BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Life just got so much better!! The love of my life got home today! I feel bad that she wasn't able to stay in Romania for as long as she wanted, but it is sooooo nice to have her back! I know she did so many great things while in Romania and the people there will be forever grateful! It is so nice to have her here in the US where the doctors are good and she will be safe! I just bought plane tickets yesterday to go out to Las Vegas next weekend, so that is going to make life even better! Man, life just keeps getting better all the time! I love you Katie and I can't wait to see you next weekend!

What a great day!

So yesterday turned out to be a great day! I had work in the morning and they was way fun and then BYU football won. It wasn't a very good game, but we came out with the win! And then last night was the highlight of the day/week/past couple of weeks haha!! I got to talk to Katie on google talk. Google talk is a program that allows you to talk to other people from anywhere in the world. It is totally free and it's as if you were talking on a cell phone and the other person is just down the street!! It was so fun! She is doing really well! We were able to talk for about an hour and a half and it was so fun! I was just so excited to hear her cute voice! We decided that we will be able to talk on google talk about once a week! So i'm excited for that. It's like it will be a goal for me to work really hard during the week with classes and then I can talk to her and end the week on the best note ever! But i'm just excited i got to talk to her and wanted to tell everyone about it! I love you Katie!!

First Day of School!!!!

So this past tuesday, Richie and I had our first day of school. It's our junior year now at college. But this year's "first day of school" was a lot different than our other "first days of school". In years past, and I won't mention when they were haha, but we would just cry and run after our mom's car after she would drop us off haha. And we would ask her things like, when are you going to pick us up and then she would tell us what time, and then we would say "Are you lying to us mom?" haha. We were what you could say, "momma's boys". But I think we've matured a little bit since those days haha. We couldn't pass up the chance to take pictures of our "first day of school" to bring back some of those funny memories! Thanks mom and dad for putting up with those ridiculous times haha, we love you both so much!

BYU Football!!

So yesterday we had our season opener against Northern Iowa. They aren't too good of a team, but they are one of the top teams in the country for division 2! We beat them 41-17, so we took care of business, but for a time we didn't play too well. We didn't take care of the ball very well for a period of time which lead to only a 10 point margin. But then we picked it up and put them away! Go Cougars!

A Little Reminder to The World of Who I Get to Marry!

So when I was down in Las Vegas before Katie left for Europe and Romania, we got to take engagement pictures!! It was so much fun. Katie had gone down to a certain part in Vegas the day before we took them, and found lots of really bright colored walls and made a list of them so we could go and take pictures there. She did a great job at finding great places for the pictures. The lady who took them is in Katie's home ward and was so nice to help us out with them. She did such a great job, as you can tell from the pictures. Here are a few of them...

Change of Scenery

It's been a long time since I've blogged but there is a good reason for it. I was in Las Vegas spending the weekend with Katie and her family before Katie and her mom left to go tour Europe! (You can see all of her pictures on her blog!!!!). But we had a blast there in Las Vegas. We bought wedding anouncements, we took our engagement pictures, we went golfing, we saw the new batman movie, we saw another play, we scheduled our honeymoon to hawaii, and lots of other stuff, so we had a great time there!

And now I have moved into a new apartment. I stayed with pretty much the same roommates that I had last year so that is nice, but we moved into the "Raintree Apartments". They are nice, but kinda old. The nice thing is that we don't pay as much for these as we did for our last apartment, so that is nice! But I took some pictures of the apartment for all to see. Here they are:

This is the kitchen. This is a lot smaller than our last kitchen and there's like have the storage space too, so that kinda stinks, but we are figuring out ways to make it work with 6 guys!

And this is our living room. Its kinda small but we have a little balcony, so that's pretty cool!

This is our little kitchen area. Not too exciting, but maybe we can put our orioles banner up on the wall. That would make it exciting!

And this is where I get my "shut-eye". This is before we organized. Don't worry mom, we have cleaned it up since the picture haha!

This is our closet before we started to organize everything too.

So that is the apartment. It is going to be my home for the next 5 months, and then...I'm getting married!!!!!! Then I get to be eternal roommates with my best friend Katie! I can't wait! It's going to be the best eternity ever!

For Katie!!!!

Katie I love you so much and there is no way that I will ever forget that you love me. I love you so much and will be thinking about you the whole time you are in Romania. I am so excited for you to have such a great experience. I support you in all that you are doing! I love you so much and I don't want you to ever forget that!
