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! 

Heavenly Father knows

Heavenly Father knows everything...

You'll understand later. 

Grad Fest...

That's a really small picture... ha ha but I really had an incredible experience at Grad Night tonight. President and Sister Clark are so inspired it's crazy. I was in tears of the inspiration they had. I had an amazing talk with Alex last night about the potential that strong young couples have in the church. Today was as if it were out of the mouth of two, three, four, five witnesses. We need not to forget ourselves when we go out into the work force and remember the most important things in this life are what last eternally. We need not get sucked into the lure of the inner circle at our jobs. WOW PRESIDENT CLARK! I feel so blessed! I can't wait to face the world and know that My Savior is on my side and he's watching over me and carrying me through my life! 

So I like this boy....

Ha ha! I've been so happy lately! I just started dating this boy named Alex. He's is the funniest boy! I like him so much!!! He's soo fun! We just have a blast together! We have had so much fun! I don't know what else to say... He's fun! So I thought I'd update this blog of mine!!! 

Too Long!

It has been too long since I last blogged! SO my life has been so crazy lately! THere is only 4 weeks of the semester left and I'm terrified! I don't know if I can do all the work I have to do in four weeks, for school, for I-team, for all sorts of the craziness! Anyways I've been having a really fun time and I don't have much to blog about right now.... actually that was kind of a lie, but I just don't want to blog about it yet. I love the world and my best friend is having a baby any day now!!!!! 

Emotional Roller Coaster!

So so many things in my life have been going on! It is crazy! I'm trying to decide what to do for this summer and I'm trying to get everything organized for SSE!! I'm trying to have a social life as well as doing well in my classes! I'm just soo exhausted! I just thought I'd say that. This past week so many things have happened in my life that I don't even know how to explain! Heavenly Father has blessed me so much with so many promptings in my life! Oh man!!! So anyways Just wanted to leave that little thought with the world. I love my blog I feel like Meg Ryan in You've Got Mail writing out to the void!
