We're engaged!!! :)

We are officially engaged! As of Saturday September 27, 2008.
We spent the weekend in Flagstaff (where V's parents live). We went camping in the rain. lol. Very fun actually. We visited our high school- where we first met. We talked with our former teachers. On Saturday morning Erik bought me a dozen roses- kinda funny... he woke me up and was talking to me.. in the middle of talking to him I just stopped and said, "Roses!" cuz I spotted them. Lol. It was funny. He also made breakfast! :) French toast, eggs, and bacon. Very yummy. Then we went to Snowbowl (Humphrey's Peak). We rode the ski lift to the very top of the mountain and then hiked up from there. It was beautiful, we sat enjoying the scenery for quite some time. Once there was no one around but us, Erik popped the question and I of course said YES! :) Now I have a gorgeous ring and an even more handsome fiancee!! :)

The joy of working on a saturday

Completely random but...
I worked this Saturday for.... 12 hours. While most people slept in and had a leisurely day, I worked my butt off. I coached 3 gymnastics classes in the morning, then coached a private lesson, had a short break and then headed to Buffalo Wild Wings where I worked the dinner shift 4-11. Although this was a completely exhausting day, it was totally worth it!! I made a ton of money in tips as well as 40/hr for a private lesson. Overall it was a very positive day.... and when I think about it... what else would I have done instead... not made any money.... slept in til noon.... ate food... watched tv.... did a little homework... tried to stay out of the heat... lol. Working was an excellent choice!!! :)
