No Time!!!!

STRESS is the key word to my life lately... I am the I-Team Director and man was I a crazy woman taking that on. I am so blessed for it, but my life has been a mess since! I am so stressed out and have so much to do so if I can just have the prayers of those around me? Yes? Maybe? 

ANYWAYS... I love ALex Christensen 

I love my family 

I love Ashley Akin 

I love everyone!!! 

I'm engaged!

So I got engaged to Alex Marshall Christensen on Saturday Night the 28th of March! It was the craziest thing ever! I did not expect it at all. We had just gotten back from a triple date with Katie, John, Abby & Ryan and we were at his house talking about how much we loved each other and how we just wanted to be together. We went and sat on the step going into his father's room next to the Ferret's cage and theit litter box and it was smelly ( funny ha ha ) and Alex got really quiet while we were talking. His face seemed a little scared and I went on to ask him what was wrong and he said, "I can't" and I said, " You can't what?" and he said, " I can't" and on his side of the story he said he got this prompting from Heavenly Father that he was suppose to ask me at that moment to marry him, but he thought that was crazy. Finally he looked up at me scared and shaking and said, " Orchid, will you marry me?" and I was shocked I was kinda quiet and then my eyes got really big and I look at him and nodded yes. I then asked, " Was that a purposal?" and he said, " I think so." We hugged and kissed and were so excited. We told our families and they were excited as well! We didn't have a ring yet though because he didn't think he'd ask that night. Tuesday morning he tied a piece of string around my finger apologizing for not having a ring. Then the rest of tuesday came... it was such a hard day. I was crying because I was scared and nervous and I just didn't know what to do. I knew I loved him and I knew I wanted to marry him, but everyone asking me about the engagement just stressed me out... So emotionally it was a rough day, but then Alex had come in for the Mentor Training meeting and long story short we went back to his house for dinner. THere was a sweet table set up of candles and a long stem red rose and dinner. Frank Sinatra was playing and it was so romantic. He sat down and served me food and then he got up and got something. He came back to my chair and got down on one knee and started to tear up and said, " Orchid, will you still marry me?" and I said "OF COURSE!" and we both were crying and kissed each other and held each other. This past few days have been crazy and amazing. I love Alex and I'm so excited to marry him. We're getting married July 25th in the Rexburg Temple! Cool, huh?! 

Jenaca, my sister, got engaged that night ( tuesday) and Alex and I went to go see her and my brothers Chase & Travis! 

Engaged girls!! We're getting married 5 days apart!!! 
The ring on the left is mine and the ring on the right is Jenacas'! 
That's me and Al. I don't look cute in that picture because it's been such a long day, but that's the boy I'll be with FOREVER! I love him and I'm so excited!
