Lauren the Sickie

Well it happened... I got the swine flu. And let me tell you... it is NOT fun. For the past few days I have been stuck in the house not able to do a thing for myself. Luckily I was at home and not at Dixie. But that was probably the hardest part, being away from Gavin. So I've watched plenty of movies and have slept more than I have in the past 2 weeks combined.
Friday we got our engagement pictures done and Saturday is when I got sick. It is a miracle Gavin didnt get sick when I had been kissing him for pics all day long.
The engagements went awesome! I will add some pics that my mom took but I will blog about the experience as soon as I get the actual pictures and can upload those as well. I am so excited to see them! They are going to be gorgeous! We couldnt ask for a nicer day and a prettier location OR a more handsome fiance. It was so much fun, I wanna do it again!
Gav is doing good, just keeping up with school and going to football. We are still trying to figure out housing for when we get married, along with TONS of other stuff. There is just so much to do when getting married! But I am seriously loving evey minute of being engaged and am so excited for the day I will be sealed to the love of my life for all time and eternity. He is one of a kind.

Cotton Candy! he he he

To begin, all who read this blog should know that this is my first. I am just a beginner. Being a beginner I think I should fill everyone in on a little bit of mine and Lauren's beginnings. The first words ever spoken between the two of us was truly about the weather. It was a windy night in St George, infact it was a pep rally for the Homecoming football game the next day. Lauren had the daunting task of making cotton candy in the wind. Ha ha ha ha, it was quite a sight. So being a damsel in distress I had to take my chance. And there we were, talking about the weather, but that wind lead me to the most beautiful woman in my life..... Jumping forward one year, Lauren was kind enough to put together some treats and a poster for a pregame surprise for this years homecoming. Included in those treats was some cotton candy. It was really good, the one bag had three different flavors. I suggested to Lauren that she closed her eyes and I would give her samples and she would have to guess the flavor. Well, it wasn't much of a challenge for her, and on my shelf was some salt,.... I couldn't resist! As I attempted to shake a little salt into her mouth, I bumped it too hard and a large amount dropped in. I felt bad. kinda, and in retaliation she told me that I had to let her tickle me. She didn't stop for ten minutes. Between the tickling and the image of her face in my mind I could not stop laughing. Wow, I love cotton candy!!!
