Finals and Wedding planning

Wow life has been super busy ever since I have been engaged. Here is one of our engagement pictures. This one is from the exact spot Scott proposed to me too. He sent me on an amazingly thoughtful scavenger hunt that started with yellow balloons at the apartment where we meet. It was awesome anyways enjoy! :-)

The week after Scott proposed I went on my spring break and that whole trip was dedicated to seeing my family and looking at places for my reception and all other venues and such. :-) It was so hectic. Planning a wedding takes so much work and makes life crazy! I now admire all mom's who have multiple girls and have planned multiple wedding receptions for them. I have decided I do NOT want any girls because planning for my wedding is hard enough! YUCK!!!

This is where we are having our reception: Old Poway Park.

When I was home I wish I had spent more time with my family instead of stressing about planning the wedding. However, the time I did spend with them was amazing! I was able to see three of my nephews and my niece. It was so great to have the family back together again, well minus one of us sadly. Our little Colton Farnsworth was blessed and that is why everyone was home. I loved seeing Ethan and Gabby play with each other and boy are they getting big! Both of them are also little chatter boxes now. I love watching those kids grow up. It makes me excited to have kids, but I know I do not want them for a few years that is for sure. They are great when I get to hand them back to my siblings when they aren't so cute and fun to be around.

After spring break it was back to school and boy that was not fun! I love my roommates though and we have so much fun together. I wish I was able to spend more time with them and stayed down at school during the weekends more. I love how we can sit and do homework together in our apartment and all of us end up laughing our heads off. For instance right now we are doing homework and listening to music and every now and then we "dance" in our chairs. It is a blast! We do more stuff together too. Last week was the only weekend where we were all home in a VERY long time. There was an institute dance and so we went and it was so much fun to go dancing again. I love dances and the last one I had been to was New Years Eve so I was way over due for another fun dance.

Wow I am going to miss these ladies! We've had a great year! 

Another big part of my life right now has been homework and finals, YUCK!!! I just took my Biology test today and boy has that class been awful! My teacher was horrible! Let's just say she decided to leave for vacation to Europe two weeks ago so we were robbed of studying and preparing with the teacher for the week before finals. She also didn't teach hardly anything that was on our final. Yes, I know this happens sometimes, but it does not really happen here at Snow. Almost every kid as they turned in their finals was telling Professor G (a professor who had to administer our test since our professor is gone already) that we had not learned or our teacher specifically told us that we didn't need to memorize or know a certain topic for the final and sure enough it was on there. It was just so frustrating. Lucky for me though I have a different Biology Lab teacher than my lecture teacher and three weeks ago I went and talked with him about how I was totally lost about the topics he was teaching in the lab. He asked me what we had and had not learned and he was concerned for me. He said that my chances of passing the finals were "slim to none". Yup, big confidence boost right there. Anyways, he invited me to come to his lecture class and I was more than happy to do that! Making this long story shorter, it was a HUGE blessing that I went to his lectures because I was saved by his review sessions. By going I actually knew what exactly I needed to study for the final and I feel like I did pretty well. I don't find out for sure until next week though.

Well that seems to be my life lately... Oh I did go wedding dress shopping with Laurie (Scott's sister), Rebecca (Scott's sister-in-law), and his mom. It was a lot of fun going with them. I love the Hansen family. They are all so close and love just being with each other. Scott, well I guess I do too, live only a block away from Brett (Scott's brother) and Rebecca's home so we go over often. Scott and Brett go to a lot of BYU ruby games together so it is fun to be around them. Also, Laurie and I are pretty close too. Laurie and Trevor (her husband) only live about 40 minutes or so away and we have seen them a few times too. I love having family, well Scott's family so close. Anyways, dress shopping was crazy and in a way unbelievable. It is so weird how tomboy me is now growing up and trying on wedding dresses... CRAZY!

Here is Rebecca and Laurie taking pictures of themselves while I was trying on dresses. I am so grateful they came and helped me. They're great! 

Okay now I think that is pretty much my life lately... at least all I am going to type for now.
