I was going though old e-mails, and found these picture of a blanket I made a while ago and how much time and effort I put in to it. When the blanket was done I was very happy with the finished project, then i gave it to my nephew which i don't even know if he uses it or not, but I was think about how much time and effort I put in to it and came out with something that i could give away and someone could enjoy. Now if only I would do that with school right now. School is really hard right now and I am not even sure if what I am doing, is what I want to do. But at least I will have gained knowledge to put in to mine and David relationship. Now i am just kind of rambling. lets get in to some other stuff that happened over the last couple of weeks.


so on Halloween I worked and I wish i could have dress up in my favourite custom what I own, but I just dressed up as a farm girl, but it was an enjoyable Halloween. I thought I would have to deal with way more drunk then I did but here are a few picture of my halloween:) the one with the girls is all the pizza that we had made to help us get though the very busy night we had a $900 hour it was crazy but it was a great night, and then the other one is what the place looks like when we had no pizzas made. it was a lot of pizzas and they didn't last very long. with all those pizza made there is only $440 worth of $5 pizza, crazy, eh!!!! then me as a frog:)



Then yesterday Mom and I went to her Christmas party, I enjoyed myself got to get all dressed up and eat good food, and dessert, and hang out with my Mom:) then I got to hang out with some of my friends as well it was nice to kind of have a social life, that is one thing I sometime miss with working and going to school so we played Dr. Mario, reminds we of the good old times of last year. This is the only picture I got of the night since the batteries on my camera died:( but check out my mom bosses suit, it was bright orange, it was so sweet. He had it tailored made in China when he was there.
This is the thing I miss the most out of anything right now, you guess it David, I can't wait until Dec 12 to seee him. I get him for a while three weeks that will be so nice. I was hoping to go to Arizona for part of the Christmas holidays. but the things i have to give up to marry David, travelling to the states until my visa go through. Look how cute he is:) I can't wait to see him, and this time i get to pick him up from the airport;) Can't wait to be sealed to this young man for all time and eternity :D

My weekend with David

So i flow to mesa on the 23rd of October to spend a wonderful weekend with David. I surprised him three hours earlier then he thought I would be arriving in Thatcher Podunk, Arizona. It was so much fun, i enjoyed myself tremendously. I thought about slashing the tires and calling and telling i had a flat, and by doing so miss my plane;) But i needed to go back to school and work:( since i had two exams this week, one day one to go:)Here a few pictures from this weekend, I didn't take a lot of photo had other things on my mind like spending as much time with David as possible:) The first night David made a candle lit dinner, that was suppose to be a surprise but i showed up a little earlier then he thought:) it was really good. then we just hang out and talked, maybe kissed a little.Friday we watched a movie went shopping for food so i could make David a not frozen dinner. I think he liked it:) then we got all dressed up and went to the homecoming dance which everyone was wearing t-shirts and jeans, we were told it was semi-formal. well must have changed last minute or something. but we still loved really cute so we went for ice creams and i got compliments when we were out i felt special:)Saturday just hung out with each other as much as possible, made lunch, went for a walk, made dinner went to the park, and then hung out till i had to leave at 4 am to catch my plane:( sad day i didn't want to leave. and that was my weekend in a nut shell can't wait for my David to come at Christmas:) No w it is just a waiting game to see when we get married, it all depend on the government:( anyways from 6 months to a year, sad day!!!! but a happy day when it happends:)

Six Facts

Okay So I was tagged by my sister on her blog, so Here are 6 facts about me. And I really didn't know what to say

#1 - I hate not being set up when I come on shift at work, When you are set up you don't get behind if you get busy, and it just makes everything run smooth. and I also hate when we don't have the nice cheese, like nice small grated cheese, and when people don't show up for work, or call in 30 minutes before their shift, and I also hate drunk when they come in to work, how do they afford to drink, it really bets me!!!! Okay that was my rant about work:)
#2 - When I slept, which I love to do, and don't get enough of it. I have to be very warm, so I will have two or more heavy quilts on my bed, and a heater going at night, I like it hot in my room:)
#3 - I love the colour pink, and if you don't know that, you don't know me very well, everything I own is pink, i have pots and pans that are pink, kitchen utensils, china, bedding, my room (thanks to my sister), kitchen table, and the list goes on. I would have everything pink if i could:)#4 - If you tell me I can't do something, I am very pig headed and really try to prove you wrong, and I hate being told what to do, I think that is the spoiled rotten princess in side of me.
#5 - I love any kind of musical instrument and if given the time, money and opportunity I would try to learn as many of them as possible and I would most likely be good at it, not that I am trying to be prideful about it, it is just God gave me a talent and I should use it more then I do. I know how to play the flute(3 years of it), piano(taught myself), violin(81/2 years of it), recorder(taught in school), and my voice(choir youth choir from grade 4-8, school choir 7-9, and after school choir you had to addition for 10-12, and vocal lessons 5 years)
#6 - I try to be strong in this whole relationship with David, but it is really hard, harder then any relationship I have ever been. I miss him so much, and am glad with every minute we talk on the phone, and cherish every moment we do have with each other, which has not been very much, but I know it will be worth it in the end. Satan is just working extra hard on us, but God never gives you more then you can handle. I Wish we could be closer to each other, or at least live in the same city/State/Country.

Grrrr, is all I am going to say!!!!

You know when you are having one of those weeks when nothing seems to be going right?? Yeah, I am having one of those weeks, and it is only Tuesday. Yesturday I had to take my car in to the shop, yet again both of my brake cord went:( and now there is something else wrong with my car that will have to be fix sometime soon, I thought getting a "Newer" car was going to save me money, nope it has not. But I am hoping when all these repairs are done we should be good for a while, here to crossing my fingers, and to top off my day my flat iron went on me grrrrr, $60 and it only lasted me 6 months. I also feel like I have no time, which I do I just need to budget it well. I don't understand why the Lord wanted me to go back to school, especially with a 40 hour work week. I feel like I have no time for friends or school. I have not failed a class, yet since starting college three years ago, and here is to hoping yet again I don't this year. And my friends keep asking me when they will be able to hang out with me, I can never give them an answer. When I think everything is going good with other things, another problem pops up. I know I am to marry David, and that is about it.

I Know the Lord has a plan for all of us, I am just the type of person who like to know, where I am going, what I am doing, and having a time line of the things that need to be done. I know Satan is working his darnedest on me, and wanting to me get down, and it is working. I know I have people around me who love me and care about me GREATLY, but it is still hard. The Lord never gives us more then we can handle, I just have to keep reminding myself that. I know I might be having a hard time, but there are people out there having a harder time then myself. I know I am greatly bless, I have a roof over my head, food in the fridge, a car to drive, a job to pay for bills, I am able to get and education, and I have a loving fiance who loves me very much, and will receive eternal blessing once married in the temple, also a GREAT family, who will do anything to help me. I have more then I need.

This blog was not to have a pity rant, I just needed to write down my feeling, and to tell Everyone, that I am thankful for all the support and courage they give me. It has been long road to come to this point in my life, where I know the church is true, and I know that the Lord is always there for me, and so are a lot of you. I have always been a person who likes to do thing for herself, and never really ever wanted a lot of help, but I am realizing that I can't do a lot of thing on my own, So I am thankful for all your guys help. Like going back to church, I would have never done it on my own, I needed a three year old little girl and a very young little boy, to show me the Christ like love I needed. I know there were a lot of prayers said at that time for my sac and I am happy for them. I am trying to learn to take down wall that I have put up, that were there to keep myself "SAFE" from being hurt by others, but when in reality I was only hurting myself. I am trying to be more open with my feeling, and not let them bubble up inside, so that is why I am writing this blog. So thank you again, and I love you all very much.I am going to end with this quote.

"Faith is believing that although we do not understand all things, He does. Faith is knowing that although our power is limited, His is not. Faith in Jesus Christ consists of complete reliance on Him." - Dennis E. Simmons, "But If Not...," Ensign, May 2004,73

The Last Month

Well this last month has been a very trying time, I started school full time 25 credits which equals about 25 school hours, and I am still working 40 hours a week, and taking 2 institute classes. Then trying to get talk time in with David, oh yeah and I guess about 4-5 hours of sleep a night. The time i look forward to most in the day is the time i get to talk to David, He really is the reason I can make it though the day. To hear about his day, to read our scriptures and have couple pray and to have the reassurance that I love him, and he loves me, and how much the Lord loves US. I can't wait till May when we will be able to see each other everyday and be able to physical kiss/hug each other. But i also CAN NOT wait until December 16, 2008 when we will be sealed for all time and eternity.It is crazy how two people can fall in love with each other so fast and know they are meant to be together. I thought my sister was Crazy when she told us she met the man is was going to marry after only dating him for three weeks, and then flow home from Germany in April then didn't see each other till October for two weeks, then didn't see him again until a couple days before the wedding in April. Then Jake went in to the field a little while after they were married for three months, and they have been together for 8 plus years. My Parents didn't live in the same city for the first couple of months of there marriage as my Dad was going to School in Calgary and my Mom was working in Lethbridge and they have been together for 35 years. Most people find couples like us Crazy. Or how can you deal with all the distance? is another question I get all the time. Well I have prayed and fasted about David, so I know everything will be okay and the Lord know what he is doing, is the answer is usually give the person.

David and I have set a date of December 16, 2008 in the Cardston, Alberta Temple, and have prayed about the date. We know that it will be hard to get married then not be with each other for the first four months of our relationship, with only a few week of being together in there for our spring breaks. We have both decided that I needed to finish school since i only had until April to be finished, to have something fall back on just in case something ever happens and I need to work. (Which will be very weird not to work since i have always work, and well I can't work right away, it is not just because I want to be lazy I will not be working, lol) There are many thing that have happened in the last couple of months, that i know the Lords hand has played a part in the whole time. I feel that David an I's communication has grown so much, our love for each grows more and more each day, since we are part. We are also getting to know each better because we don't have any nothing physical like the kissing and the cuddling, we are talking. I know if we continue to be strong in the church and relay on God everything will work out for us, if it is Gods will, it will be done. I know I am a Daughter of God and he wants what is best for me, and I want to be the best I can be for him. I do not want to jeopardize a temple marriage, and that is all i am saying to that. I know that if you ever need an answer to anything the Lord will have the Holy Ghost confirm it to you, if you let him.

Oh yeah and David come for a visit that was so nice, I missed him so much. HE got a long Great with my parents, they think he is a great guy. My Nieces loved him, my 3 yrd niece was smitten by him it was so cute. I can not wait to be Sealed to David for all time and eternity, and I know Satan is trying his darndest right now to stop it. David and I have put so much effort in to this relationship now, why jeopardize it because of something stupid. The Lord know what is Best, and it might not be what other want for us, but in the end it is up to the Lord and US. We also had our engagement photos done , we are just waiting to get them back:D then we can start on that, yippie one thing closer to us getting seal ed and married.This is us at my favourite resturant oh am I going to miss it when I move to Arizona :(
So cute David made her smile, that doesn't happen very often, so good work David:D This was my niece smiling for David an d my niece showing off for David, it was so cute
This is cute to when we brought out the cake Kynna had to sing happy birthday to David and I.This is the cheese cake that David and I got at our family engagement party, it was yummy
Then I decied to have some fun with it and put it on davids face, lol don't worry I cleaned up my mess :D

My month in a nut shell

So it has been a while since I updated my blog. I have moved home, then went on Holidays to Oklahoma with my sister and my Mom, well he helped Chrissy move to Oklahoma, and then I started work when i got home:) When I come home I got to go out to one of my friends house and play on his family farm, it was so much fun.

This is the highest point in Oklahoma, Mount Scott, I think it was a 2 minute drive to the "top" of the Mountain.

I have also missed David, since I have not seen him since July 3rd. I am so excited though he comes at the end of this month for the long weekend:) That weekend we plan on getting our engagement photos done and over with. We have had lots of talking on the phone, thank goodness for parents and there unlimited minutes to anywhere in North America. So we have many late nights talk on the phone. I have been doing some wedding plans, bought some stuff, and pretty much just trying to plan things. December 16th will come sooner then I think, and I hope that I am prepared even though I know everything will not run smoothly, but i hope at least a little smooth.

Oh yeah I also had my 23th Birthday and since David could not be there I decided that my frog cupcakes that my sister made for me were my prince charming a.k.a David. I think my sister did a pretty good job on my birthday cupcakes :P

I hope to start school in September, just waiting on the school for my go a head to say I am signed up for classes. If I get in to the classes I want it is going to be a long couple of months with not a lot of doing anything but 40 hours at work and pretty much 40 hours at school. But in the end it will all be worth it:) But i can't wait to start school again I love going to school and learning!!!

Other then that not much has happening in the life of Dian.
Oh yeah and this is what my hair looked like after my sister put streaks in it:)

I'm Engaged, I can't believe it :D

Okay so yes it is true I am engaged, We have only known each other 1 month 1/2, and dating 3 weeks. I can't believe how fast the time went. I feel like we have known each other for more then just a month. He is a GREAT guy, and I really Love him. It was so cute the whole thing.
So we went out for dinner at Black Stone, which is a really nice restaurant. I kind of knew something was up when we got there, and the hostess at the front desk, didn't ask for his name, but crossed off his name. But you know whatever. Then we ate dinner it was really good, and really filling. Then The waiter said she would be back in a couple of minutes, and I was like okay weird, why didn't she ask if we wanted dessert of if we were done. Then a couple of minutes later, she comes back out with to plates of cheese cake and puts them on the table. I was like we didn't even order dessert, what the crap. Then she put the teddy bear you see up above on the table in front of me. I start laughing and can't stop because I didn't want to cry. Then he got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife. And Well I said yes :D

The funny thing is, I didn't even know he had the ring. He went out monday morning with my sister and pick it out and got everything arranged with some help from my sister , and brother-in-law Jake. Thanks Guys you guys are awesome. And I love you, lots. We couldn't have done a lot of this with out your guys help.So anyways here is a picture of the ring, which, he pick out all by himself. I couldn't have asked for a better ring, it is so beautiful, and shiny.
And this is us right after dinner When i was calling my parents to tell them the GREAT news. I love this kids, he is GREAT, and is very speical. I can't believe how fast I fell for him.
And this is us up Logan Canyon at Ricks springs. And if you are all wondering, we are most likely getting married in December during Christmas Break. In Canada, and I will most likely move to the Arizona, where he is going to school. Thanks everyone for loving me, and keeping me around for as long as you have. I am so excited to be getting married for All time and Eternity to a GREAT guy.
