Kind of moving back to Cedar.... it's difficult to expliain!

I'm moving back to Cedar City for a couple of days a week... I'm going to stay the night with Hannah and Candice and attend an Institute class with my cousin Brittan and go to my Geology Lab class. This semester is going to be Easy Peasy! 1 credit! I'm pretty much taking a break from school and planning my wedding! We had fun on our first road trip to Cedar City! I enjoyed showing John some of the places I used to go to all the time! Plus, we gave Hannah her birthday present and she loved it! I knew she would! I love my Banana! 

Alicia... What happened to your CAMERA?

This was a no good rotten bad day!!! and I mean it! I took John along with me to take my friend Kylee's engagement pictures and I dropped my camera in the lake.... No joke... into the lake and I just starred at it... Luckily my SUPERMAN reacted very fast reached down and swooped it up before it was gone forever.... I took so many pictures on that camera... I LOVED my camera... and the worst part was it was the very beginning of the photo session. I was freaking out about running my camera, but I was more worried because we had only taken like 20 pictures. So, thankfully my friend Marissa trusted me enough to let me borrow hers. I mean I don't know if I would let me friend borrow my camera after she called me and said, "Can I borrow your camera? I just dropped mine in the lake..." After all the stress of getting the pictures done, borrowing the camera and figuring out when I was going to return it, and finally having a chance to look at my camera I wanted to cry.. But, John wasn't going to let that happen... so what does he do, while he is driving I might add... He tickles me and starts poking me in the ear.... Then we get to his parents house and he says, "Don't worry Babe! I'm going to take it a part let it try and try to fix it!" Oh how I love him, but it was unfixable. He really did try though.. the pictures below are proof! The lens was full of water.... and I never knew how many tiny pieces were on the inside of these digital wonders.... who would of thought?

My first Christmas Present to John De Young

My friend Rissa took some pictures of me and I take plenty of pictures of myself so for Christmas I decided I would print the many faces of Alicia off and give it to John in a photo album! That way he could see me even when I'm not around! I thought I was pretty clever and he loved the gift! He keeps it right above his bed! These are some of the pictures I put in the book plus many more...

The Ring...

I just can't stop starring at it! It's so weird having it on my finger, but I absolutely love it! and I love showing it off! All day long today it was, "let me see that ring..." and then every time someone looked at it... they were amazed! It is a very stunning ring! It's my DREAM ring! and he actually got it! It's my dream to go to Paris someday... I have this secret obsession with the Eiffel Tower... and if you look at my ring from the side it's the base of the Eiffel Tower. I think that's one of the reasons I LOVE it so much! Every time I look at it I remember the promise John made me... He told me one night... I promise I will take you to see the real Eiffel Tower one day! I can't wait for that day to come! I love John so much and I am elated I can now call him my fiancé! No more boyfriend... It's fiancé! my future husband! Awwww it sounds so serial... I'm getting married! and we already picked a date! I will be Mrs. Alicia De Young on March 12 of next year!

I'm Engaged!

I'm engaged, I'm engaged, I'm engaged! Time has flown by so fast!! It feels like just the other day I was calling John my boyfriend and now I can call him my fiancé! I'm kind of sad that I don't have the best pictures from that night because it was so late I didn't have my camera and John's is so old and doesn't work that good.... so.... I had him take pictures with his and they turned out almost all blurry... However, life goes on and I am at a loss for words.... I can't explain how I felt the night John proposed so I decided to write John's point of view of how the night unfolded:
