Best Valentine's Day EVER!!

The story is at the bottom! :)

Matt took me snowshoeing yesterday up provo canyon by Vivian Park, it was snowing pretty much all day which was fine, because it was seriously so beautiful up there! The hike up was sooooo HARD!! I felt so bad haha, I had to stop so many times to catch my breath.. at one point when we were almost to the point where we were supposed to be Matt turned around and asked me if I wanted to turn around! I laughed at him and said "Heck no!! We've come this far, might as well go the whole way!!" 

Good thing I didn't want to turn around because what Matt had waiting for me at the top was AMAZING! Talk about romantic! So we get to this spot where this picnic table is all set up for a little picnic! I was so surprised... and confused! I kept asking Matt when the heck he did it! And then when I figured out that it was impossible that Matt could've done it I kept asking him WHO did it! But he wouldn't tell me! So anyway, we sit down and (p.s. it's still snowing..) we start eating these yummy sandwiches that Matt prepared for us. Then he pulls out this card for me. I open it up and there is a piece of paper inside.. but I read the card first! It was a Barbie card that said on the front "For a Special Girl, A Valentine Charm to wear!" Then on the inside there is a piece of yarn and this charm that you rip off the card to make a necklace and the inside read, "This pretty charm is just for you to sparkle up your day! It's coming with a lot of love and then this wish to say- Hope every hour the whole day long will be a happy one, Just filled with sweet surprises and some Valentine-y fun!" So then Matt made the necklace and tied it around my neck! 

Then he had me read the piece of paper inside.. He was going to show me this really cute slide show that he made for me on the lap top, but it was just snowing to much he didn't want to get it too wet, so I watched it in the car on the way home. Anyway, the piece of paper had a little poem on it that read:

Valentine's Day Poem

Before we go, There's one more thing

I really need to say.

Barbie's a babe, and so are you

That's why I brought you here today.

It's up to you to figure it out

There's not a thing that I can do,

But give you a hint that'll get you started,

And leave the finding up to you.

So go over the river and into the woods

And under a sheltered tree.

You'll find a special Valentine Bag,

For you, from Barbie, and me.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I love you!

So then we start our way to the the little bridge to cross the river, we didn't put our snowshoes back on so we were literally waste deep in the snow. It was really funny. So as I'm searching for a sheltered tree.. I see two little birds hiding in the trees! Lexi and Brett had come up before us and set everything up and they took a video and pictures of the whole thing! They did a great job!!! So anyway, I make it to the tree and pick up the bag. Opened up the ring, and Matt got down on his knee and popped the question! I obviously said YES!! :) It was seriously the best proposal ever! Matt is AMAZING! I am so lucky.. and my ring is so pretty and I love it! :) Hope you enjoyed this novel haha!

Adorable!

At work yesterday the sweet little girl came into the salon with her mom and sister. Her name is Sydney but they call her Silly because her older sister cant say her d's.. haha so cute! 

I just had to snap a photo with her because I instantly fell in love with that sweet face! I told her mom I might just have to take her home with me.. But I didn't! :( I will be adopting later on in life! That is for sure!

True Love!

Matthew and I have been dating for almost 5 1/2 years now... And I love him more and more every day! This picture was taken before his mission... we were oh so very young! :) The last 8 months have been so much fun having him home! I'm so excited to have him here for Valentines day! 

He has his last Chemo treatment this Friday the 6th. Then he starts radiation in a few weeks. I can't wait til he is feeling back to normal! 

Things have been pretty good for him, the salon is going great and I'm finally getting more clients! My job at the Center is going well too, I just really hate having 2 jobs. Gotta do what ya gotta do! Thats pretty much all there is to update on for now!

xoxo!

Random Post...

Baby Hank turns 1 on Saturday! This picture was taken in the hospital a couple days after he was born.. He's much bigger now and oh so very cute! Jake and Julie, ya done good! 

Happy Birthday Hank Aaron! :)

One More!!

Matt went in today for his 3rd treatment! This picture was actually taken at his 2nd one, but I thought I needed a picture for this post and this one would work just fine! 

I really can't wait for all of this to be over and have Matt back to his normal healthy self! I'm amazed more and more each time at how strong and positive he is being through all this icky poop crap! Yes, thats what I call the cancer... So only one more treatment of Chemo and then a month of radiation. What a beautiful day that will be when he goes in for his last visit for radiation! I might be even more excited than he is! ok... maybe not.. 

Everyone has been so sweet with their thoughts and concerns for both of us, you guys are all wonderful! Keep Matt in your prayers... it will all be over soon enough! :)

What an AdVeNtUrE!!!

Last night Matt and I went with Brett and Lex to go celebrate their one month anniversary! We all decided to go to P.F. Chang's! So Lex and Brett came and picked Matt and I up from my house. Well about 2 miles past the Provo Center Street exit Lexi's car starts to putter and completely breaks down, yes on the freeway! So we pull over and we all just sit there... we didn't really know what to do in this situation! So of course, I call up my mom... I tell her where we are at and she comes to find us, I also called Mikey because we needed another car so we could make it the rest of the way to P.F. Chang's! So while we are all 

sitting in the car we decide we should pr

obably 

start taking pictures and documenting this evening of fun! haha. So while we wait for my mother and brother to arrive Lexi calls Geico! Matt was being so funny and saying that he was so scared! So anyway, my mom arrives and I get out of the car and jump into hers where it was nice and warm... Matt comes running to the car too, as Matt shuts the door, Lexi and Brett start pulling away. I was so confused! I guess after I got out of the car, Brett decided to try and start it one more time.. and what do you know.. It starts! haha So we follow them the rest of the way to theUniversity exit, and right as they get off the free way and are making the right hand turn the car breaks down again! Soooo we are now pulled over on the side of the road by McGraths Fish House... then Mikey pulls up behind my mom. So the boys decide that they are gonna push the car just up the street to the Texaco Gas station. I really wish I could have gotten a picture of Matt, Mike and Brett pushing this car, but I had to drive Mikey's car behind my mom. So I didn't really have a view of this event! 

So we finally make it into the parking lot, and Lex is still on the phone with the Geico man trying to figure out what to

 do about towing. They said they would pick it up there at the gas station, luckily Eric, the wendy's manager was there to keep an eye on the car until they got there! haha..

So we finally made it to our destination at about 8:30 pm. We left my house at 7:00 pm. At P.F Chang's we got seated right away... We were all so hungry and happy to be there. Unfortunately this story doesn't end here! We got the most TERRIBLE waiter.. He was so slow, and the place wasn't even busy! We didn't actually get out of there until 10:40 pm!! It was a joke! 

All in all it was a pretty exciting night! We got to spend some good quality time with our bestest friends in the world

.. and we got some delicious food! I'm assuming Lexi's car was safely towed to Springville... at least we hope so! :)
