Makin omelets with my best friend

For Christmas 2011 I bought Kent an omelet maker. 

                                                                             so many eggs ^^

In June 2011 I bought this omelet maker to wrap early for Kent's gift. For half of a year I looked at it and took it back to Idaho. Then finally, he took it home for Christmas and now it's back with me. We keep it at my house to eat some delicious omelets!!

This is us amazed at how good they are.

Even with whipped cream

ikea

Ever since I have ever heard about ikea, I knew they sold food. When I told Kent this exciting news, he wouldn't believe me! We decided we would go someday to find out the truth. Low and behold - they sold food and even had a cafeteria! It was great. After finding our way through the maze around the store, we sat down to some pasta for dinner :) It was the first time for both of us to go to an ikea. We had so much fun trying things out and talking about our future home! Such an exciting time of life for us!

 FOOOD. Our whole meal (2 pasta things) was only $2.14!!! It was 99 cent pasta Monday!

And a cheesy picture of my ring - I usually hate these kinds of pictures, but I couldn't resist! It's different when it's on your finger. 

Pinkie's up! ps fingers are doing MUCH better - they will be fully healed soon!

Made it back to the burg (Rexburg) and met up with our married friends David and Lauren and talked fun plans for this semester. Lots going on, but hopefully little stress. Let the wedding planning begin!

Happy New Year!

We are ENGAGED!!!

Here is the video to prove it:

It was so cute, and I was very surprised! So I was supposed to walk out of the terminal and see the sign, but my flight came early and I was already there. Kent was shocked, but still proceeded. We hugged, then he showed me the sign then knelt down! It was so perfect and I am so excited to be married to my best friend!!

Our date is June 22nd, 2012 (THIS YEAR!!) in the Kansas City Missouri Temple. Woooo!! We are so excited and will keep you updated with all the plans. If you want to follow our day-to-day life, visit http://kentandanna.tumblr.com/ to see daily photos of us! :) 

Last night we celebrated new years together with pots and pans, sparkling cider, a little kiss, and an engagement! It was the best night of my life! 

Today we took a family photo, and right after Armando proposed to Kent's sister Danielle. We are so happy for them! What a crazy week! :)

goals

I have decided some resolutions to make for the new year. I have a feeling this is going to be a good one.

But every time I set a resolution, it seems overwhelming. I have come to realize that these goals are a continual thing to work on and will never be done at once. 

1. Take a photo every day. Hard? Yes, but not impossible. Pictures will be posted here: http://kentandanna.tumblr.com/

2. Write a sentence of my day each day *see the pictures

3. Get up earlier - before 10am.

4. Read a new blank Book of Mormon and mark in it to find out more about myself/my purpose

5. Finish things right away... and try to avoid procrastination (for example.. it is 4:07am and I am still working on pictures to finish before I leave for Idaho...yikes)

6. Be happy. let things go. forgive quickly.

 Here we go! Happy New Year!

Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone!

We got a family picture with "Elf-e" (on top of the tree). Our Elf on the Shelf has and will be a member of our family - he is that important.

Skype

Skype is wonderful. There would be no other way to see something like this live, from Utah. Kent and I have been skyping a lot this winter break. We must like each other or something..

Also, I got a haircut.

I am sending in my computer to get fixed. Adios for 3 days.

My Adventure Home

I have made it home! I know this post will have so many words, it's kind of overwhelming so I have been putting it off. But such a fun story - so i must blog.

- 12/17/2011 - 

My room right before I left

2am Kent dropped me off at the bus. We said our goodbyes, I teared a little but we will see each other in 14 days :) I sat next to this kid who lived in Lawrence, KS for 4 years and so we talked about Kansas weather and our families and stuff. The lights were off and after about half an hour of driving and quietness I was gone. Woke up occasionally because of the uncomfortable position I was in and because my nose itched like crazy! I have no idea why.. it was so weird. The drive felt so short! I woke up for real (to fix my contacts) and we were there at the airport! So quick! 

Checking in was difficult. The kiosk wouldn't give me my tickets, so I went to the help desk and it took a while. He asked me, "Did we change your flight?" me, "yes" (from 12pm to 8am thank you very much!) and then he pushed some buttons and gave me my tickets.

I checked one bag and it only weighed 34lbs.! That is so impressive for me!! 

Drank some chocolate milk while I waited for them to seat us and I couldn't figure out why my ticket said "row 2" and I didn't understand which zone i was in.. so I asked the lady, and she said, "Oh! go right on in! We were waiting for you!"

Guess who got first class?? 

I couldn't believe this. I sat down and asked the guy next to me why this happened. We figured that it was to pay me back for the flight change - Thank you Delta! I documented all I could  (I slept most of the ride).

Cute bottled water was sitting there for us! My awesome ticket. 

I figured my window should have been cleaner..

I had fun, and probably annoyed the guy next to me. They gave me a banana! :)

  

I made it home at 6pm and it was so good to see my whole family there. We went to see the temple in Kansas City, and then went to dinner at the cracker barrel. I drove home and then surprised Kiva in the backyard - it was so fun. She is sleeping right next to me now. Good to be home! 

Not excited about my dentist appointment tomorrow. Kent has a doctor's apointment at the same time - awesome. and then goes to a basket ball game!

I will blog more later.

Adios
