After 2 long months of dating... we got ENGAGED!!!! On June 11th!

and he asked me just how I have always wanted! He took me to the temple and asked me to marry him!
(just like my parents)

Then we went camping for the Howard Family reunion!

We also went on the Wilson family Reunion, I just don't have pics of that one :(

And these are some of our Engagement photos :)

I was also able to be a part of Kelby's Birthday!!! on July 24th! sense that is pioneer day he got work off and we spent most of the day moving out of our house to be (which was being used as a storage shed) and moving our stuff in :) and at the end we relaxed a little bit ...

...had cake (peanut-butter bars)...

... And Open Presents!!!! This is a practice head from Evans and he has wanted one so we could blow it up :) I am just as excited about this as he is :)

He Was SOO EXCITED about his PINK SWEATER!!!! Lol! He is such a good sport :)

I love this guy! :)

This is a belt buckle that I had costumed made for him and I started working on it as soon as we started dating and so many things kept happening that it was barely ready by his birthday. And I am so glad he likes it :)

Everyone has been SO NICE I got 3 bridle showers and they were all a lot of fun thanks everyone!!!

(I only have pictures of this one so if any one has more pics I would love to see them! Thanks:)

Getting to know Kelby

So I have not post for a REALLY long time and for a very good reason!

a little over 4 months ago I started dating this REALLY AMAZING guy, Kelby Howard:) and well it's kept me pretty busy, here let me start at the beginning.

In May of 2009 Jacob (my brother) brought to of his friends over Taylor Cahoon and Kelby Howard.

Not much was said they were only at our house for a few minuets but as soon as Kelby walked in the door I could just tell in his eyes how different he was from most guys it was the coolest feeling I have ever felt and don't know how I could ever describe it but I knew to some degree right then that that was the guy I was going to marry ( but at the same time I was telling myself this was just a cute guy that I really wanted to get to know, nothing more) but the whole time he was on his mission and I was dating other guys I would think about this amazing guy I met one night for a few minuets and that amazing feeling would come back lol I thought I was crazy! :)

But then around December of 2011 I started seeing him in the crowd at the YSA firesides and for 5 months I made sure to say hi every chance I got, he was nice and would say hi but nothing more :(... so I took that as a sign that he wasn't interested in getting to know me (come to find out he just had no idea what to say to some one he thought was so pretty:) but I wasn't going to say hi at the next fireside (April 15th) but then a miracle happened he came and talked to me (which he has no memory of doing lol) but it was a very nice conversation! :D we said good byes and went our own ways and then the same night we ended up at a game night and so I sat by him and was on his team and laughed it was a lot of fun!!! But I was freaking out of my mind! HE was TALKING to ME!!!!

then a week later we ended up at a movie night which I only went to hoping he would be there (and come to find out he was thinking the same thing) and then Even tho I thought I would never go in to another singles ward I knew which one he went to so that next Sunday I went for sacrament meeting and he came up and got my NUMBER!!!! I wanted to shout for joy :D but I didn't lol.

then I saw him at F.H.E. and then I asked him to help me give a primary lesson! and Then I thought he would NEVER talk to me again, he probably thought I was so weird!!! but another miracle happened he asked me on a group DATE!!! we went shooting and I met his family and had a lot of fun:)

Then I knew he had to think I was REALLY WEIRD so I probably wouldn't be hearing from him again... but he kept asking me on DATES!!!....

We went to Zions, to movies to Zions again...

...Repelling...

...Caving...

(oh this is kind of random I was caught in the middle of a wild fire! But in the end every one was okay and none of the houses were touched :)

... he gave me flowers...

and I was having a blast but still very amazed that he still wanted to do things with me!!!

to be continued...

The last of hair school!

In April I was in a hair show, and I did a updo on my sister Celeste it turned out REALLY GOOD!!! it was a lot of fun Thanks Celeste for your help :)

I was also in a updo competition the next month and Celeste was once again my BEAUTIFUL model.

We made facials with random things from the kitchen and tried a little of every ones on our faces it was a blast! I had no idea we would go to hair school to put food on our faces! It funny the things we go to school for cause I am pretty sure I knew how to do that before going to Evans :)

Well this was near the end of my Evans days crazy how time passes so fast!

Punk ... :O

First an update: I have been out of school on medical leave for 2 and 1/2 weeks. Do to several accidents in my life that I never went and checked up on. I have hurt with different little aches and pains here and there, pretty much my whole life, I just thought it was normal! But in march the pain in my legs stated getting really bad! Even to the point I just could not support myself to stand. So any ways to make a long story short I have been going to Dr. Lyman now for pretty much every day sense that happened (I have some problems with my knees, but the biggest thing is I have a brain stem injury). But I feel GREAT now! (I am so grateful :) even tho being in a wheel-chair isn't the most fun thing I can think of, I have learned so much from this experience, and being with my family has been a blast!!!! And it worked out perfectly! I can go to school again the day after my 19th birthday!!! :D

But the reason for this post is to show what happens to a Wanda after 2 and 1/2 weeks of not being able to do anything. Enjoy :) ....
