Engaged!!!

As well as our proposal story will come soon... As for now here are some pictures of my ring and a few from the day.

Hi

Hi! Yes, I don't post a lot anymore and it kinda makes me sad, but at the same time I get super busy and to be honest not a whole lot is going on in my life. Same family, school, Scott, roommates, and you know just normal everyday life in the life of Caitlan. Um lets see here what is new... um to be honest I really have nothing so for now all I am going to do is just list a whole bunch of random things I love.

Oh and please realize this isn't in any order, but just what pops into my head. :-)

I love...

Sunflowers

Brownies

Cinnamon Rolls! (This has become the new love of mine and I'm pretty sure I've been eating these maybe once every other week or so)

Road trips with Scott

Scott's family!

Oh actually there is something I can talk about! So two weekends ago... yeah two weekends ago I went down with Scott for his sisters wedding and it was really fun. The road trip and being with him great, but I have to say my favorite part was meeting all of his family and friends down there. I already meet all of his siblings and such so this time I was able to meet his grandparents and aunts and uncles and such! I love them all so much! They were so wonderful! The whole time I basically heard stuff like "Oh your Caitlan we have heard about you" and "you have a great man there" and the things his grandpa told me were my favorite. He is just such a sweet old man! I love how he treated me just like one of his grandkids. He would come up and give me hugs all the time and just kiss my head. It was so great! My favorite thing he said was probably every time he mentioned how Scott was one of his favorite grandkids. So great!

Yup that's the life of Caitlan right now. Sorry not a lot of pictures this time. I should have some the next time though! :-)

Time for a New One

Wow so many things have happened since I have last written... For starters I finish my fifth semester at Snow and it went a thousand times better than I thought. My Physics class that I thought I was going to fail, well I got a B haha not even close to a failing grade. :-)

Then came the WONDERFUL Christmas break! Oh I loved being at home with my mom and just spending time talking with her. It was so great just being at home and relaxing. I love my mom. She is such a lucky dog because she gets to relax all day (well not sure it is relaxing considering she doesn't really like it). Anyways, it was just fun because for the first part of my break it was just my parents and me.

Funny thing was I actually loved having it that way. Yes I missed my siblings, but for once there really wasn't any fighting or mess around the house. It was a peaceful Christmas.

Then came my favorite part of the break... Yup Scott came home. :-)

He was home for a week getting to see where I live and what is around San Diego. We had a lot of fun! He was able to meet my mom for the first time and that is a big deal considering she cannot go anywhere to visit so it was very nice for them to meet each other. The bigger deal though was Scott and I didn't "set her off".

(My mom is allergic to pretty much all chemicals so it is hard for her to really travel and have people over, let alone stay over. When she gets an allergic reaction because someone has some kind of chemical smell it "sets her off". This could be something as simple as someone's deodorant. So YES it was HUGE deal!)

Anyways, the gift giving was a cool part too. I got my favorite movie of all time on DVD, of course it is THE LION KING, and a really cool expensive camera so all durning the break we were able to use it! Scott gave me my third favorite gift (well that is to say if it could be favorites).

He spent many hours working on it and even some of his family members got involved helping him get finished with it before he came over. It is this amazing wood box! I love it! Can you believe he actually made it?!!!! Literally for the first five minutes or so all I could say was WOW... You can even ask him for yourself. The whole time he was laughing at me while my jaw was dropped and I was speechless. Which may or may not be a rare occasion when I am with him especially because we love talking with each other.

Speaking of talking with each other and how much Scott and I love it can you guess how long we talked on the phone for over the ten days we didn't see each other over the break??? Haha if you guessed a little over 1,600 minutes you are correct. I told you, we just love talking with each other.

I think that is enough writing for now. Pictures are the most fun anyways right? I hope you had a great break too and are getting into the swing of things a lot faster than I am... I'm not sure I still am in the whole "lets get studying" mode.

New Year's Eve Dance

Things that I am looking forward to:

This weekend I am running a 5k down in St. George with Scott and his family
