wow i have a lot to write!!

I see this from work but this picture really doesn't do it justice

Ok.... so first matters of business...

you all know it by now.

I AM ENGAGED!

I got engaged on a Saturday May 7th 2011. I got a dress before I got a ring. I found this perfect dress for me in Salt Lake City Utah at a store called Danielle's Bridal. Funny hu? I was looking for bridal shops in the GPS and Danielle's came up so we went there and my dress was there waiting for me! It was fantastic!

So I am home now, I am working too! I work at a beautiful country club, I have a fantastic view and the people there are so fun. There is this 91 year old man who comes in just about every day to work out and he is always so fun to talk to.
I got the job kind of a funny way. I went to a bridal fair and this lady was talking to me and she was telling me she wanted to do my hair for my wedding then she asked me where i was getting married and i told her the Denver Temple and she freaked out... she is mormon too, then i told her i do hair too and she told me she had to hire me. So she did! :) sweeto! I am waiting for my license to transfer from utah to here. But since i don't do hair i work up as a "concierge". I thought that was a funny word. why not call me a receptionist.

I now teach the sunbeams at church. They are so fun! I absolutely love them!

Oh my, I can't believe i haven't written more about Jonathan.
So Jonathan is the sweetest person you could ever meet. He is always thinking of others and helping people. He has such a good heart. He has 4 brothers and no sisters, and i love it! He is going to school right now and deciding what to do. He is thinking pediatrician or sports medicine. He clearly has the brains in our relationship. We are pretty opposite of each other, and that might be why we work so well together. He is organized, good at school, very intelligent, he is a little shy, but when he opens up he is hilarious, we laugh for hours. He does not love sugar, if you know me at all sugar is my main food group. And he is a rockies fan... I am working on converting him to the giants.
Speaking of rockies and giants, we went to their game the other day! on the... 16th. It was SO FUN! even though my giants lost, it was fun to be with Jonathan there.

We are currently looking at apartments, we found one we LOVE yesterday. but they have no availability right now so we are praying they will by mid june... you can pray for that too if you want.

Wedding details! Our colors are Orange, Pink, and Yellow. Gerber daisy's are part of our decorations. Our food is going to be awesome! Its carnival food! so there will be pop corn, soft pretzels, pigs in a blanket, funnel cakes? maybe. We are having a "candy bar" its just a table with a TON of candy on it. Well those are the things that i picked out, Jonathan eats more than sugar like i mentioned earlier, so we are having chicken salad sandwiches, and meatballs, and a veggie tray.

Well that is about all i can think of right now. Thanks for reading! Love you!

"I'm coming home"

Well, I can't sleep so I decided to blog since I have nothing else to do...
except clean my room, or read my scriptures, or something actually productive.
So whats new?

I am moving home!! I am excited about it. It feels so unreal! I have done my time in Provo, and now its time for me to leave.

Looking back I am glad I decided to come to Provo for School. I have learned so much in the time I was here.

Its funny to look back 2 years. March 2009. I was a senior in high school, I was dying to leave Colorado. I was moving on to bigger and better things.. (utah? really? how creative am I?) anyways now its funny to think I am going right back to Colorado. The grass really isn't greener on the other side.

Believe it or not I have a lot to say im just not quite sure my blog is ready to handle all this info.
So... Colorado HERE I COME!! look out!

"im coming home comin home tell the world that im coming home" - This song i love! Its called Coming home. Imagine that hu?

Parking in Provo...

Ok so I only have 2 parking spots at my apartment complex for 3 of the girls who live here. I usually get home last since I work the latest. This week has been just outrageous.

Tuesday Night I have to park on the street outside my apartment complex. I get into my car wednesday and I have a lovely brand new dent on the right side of my car. Oohh did the person leave you a note saying sorry!? NO!! of course not!!... parking in provo.

Wednesday I once again have to park on the street. This time "my back bumper was within 15 feet of a fire hydrant" BARELY! This time i got to park on the street because some random person was parked in one of our spots all day and all night and we didn't want to be ruthless and tow them. (what goes around comes around right?) So i park on the street. Next morning I find a lovely yellow envelope on my car. 30 bucks right there. cha ching!... parking in provo.

Thursday night... i get to park in one of the spots!! im thinkin yes! today is my lucky day!! Well i am such a retard I parked so horribly (i didn't think that but whatever) that i get a note on my car another night saying learn how to park dummie....i HATE parking in provo.

I am starting to think i shouldn't drive. I am just anticipating what will be happening tonight.

Did I mention i HATE parking in provo??

Meet Romney

My Dear Friends,

This is Romney! He is my boyfriend. He is from Redlands California. He is extremly tall. He is extremly outgoing, loving and fun to be around. He is very positive. Romney and I drove home (well my home) for the Air Force vs. BYU game. It was so fun!! So thats him. Just thought i'd tell you. The Air Force vs. BYU game

This is just an example of how tall he is... its hard to get both of our faces in a picture (if you take it yourself). -Grand Junction colorado

My sister and I love eating, its a sport for us.

my sweet cousin Debbie, she is a lifesaver, she is my home away from home if i ever need it and i love it! its nice to have her around.

My favorite people

I have now been here in Provo for a year. What have I done in the past year?

I have been blessed to know some truly amazing people, I have learned so much about cosmetology, I have made countless pizzas, I have learned how to eat healthier than mac and cheese and ramen every day, I have fallen in love with pina coladas, almond joys and Hawaiian Pizza, broken a toe, broken a heart...(just kidding i didn't do that i thought it would be funny though) I have broken down on the high way on my way to conference, I met actors from twilight, I got to go home with my amazing cousins to our family reunion/ grandmas 80th birthday. I could go on and on and on, I couldn't have done all of that and much more if it weren't for my Heavenly Father and my family. They are always with me each step of the way, even if they are 600 miles away. So my sweet family, i love you so much and i miss you each and every day, thank you for EVERYTHING.

Pass the Slimfast?

Last month (April) I weighed 145 pounds.-- I didn't like that... I am 5'7 and i didn't like my weight one bit. Since I do what I want I decided to loose weight. All i do is drink a slim fast in the morning, eat a spinach smoothie for lunch and whatever i want for dinner. And drink a lot of water. Oh wait how much do i weigh now?!? 138 baby!! Woot woot!! I am just so excited i had to blog about it :)

My mom came out to Utah. SO AWESOME!! I loved seeing her :) i was suppose to move out of my apartment complex so she came to help, I ended up staying at the same complex but just moving apartments. haha, hey its a good excuse to see your mom, after a day of not seeing her. (I drove back from colorado the day before she came out) I guess I just love spending time with my mom. THANK YOU MOM for all your help!! I cant tell you how much I appreciate it. -Stephen and Debbie, Thank you for letting my mom and I stay at your house, and for letting me do my laundry there. You two are so awesome!-

We were crusin along in the carpool lane and my foot's on the gas and...... power gone! Speedometer going down hitting 50 40 30 faster faster faster! oh no!! so i automatically knew it was my gas pump... i pull over to the shoulder of the highway and... ya my car was broken down. haha. luckily i have had so many car problems this month i had my insurance companies number so i could call and get it all fixed up.

It all gets better... In time?

haha ok my life is definitely not bad... but i definitely don't want to repeat this week again... i had this AMAZING spiderman backpack... it had my school text book in it with my wonderful freshly sharpened paul mitchell hair cutting scissors in it as well.... well this backpack is right now MIA... yea that was frustrating. so life goes on I was frustrated so then I went to the temple thinking it will all get better.... im driving to Wal Mart after the temple and my car won't even re start at wal mart. awesome... im freakin out i can't figure out whats wrong with my car, these sweet strangers tried to jump my car, yea still won't start. So my lifesaver Jordan picked me up from wal mart. If it weren't for my sweet mom i don't know what I would have done. I can call her any time and she always answers... I LOVE TECHNOLOGY!! Thank you who ever invented the cell phone!

So basically have an amazing friend, live in a friendly place, count your blessings, and keep on truckin along... unless your wheels breakdown (start walking more its way better for you anyways) haha. Thanks for reading! have a good day!

I wish i had more to share with you but i really dont... haha. Have a Happy Valentines day!

love
Dani

Oh My... what a week

Trials... Its just hard getting through them. Everyone has them. You know its all going to be better but its just hard to get to the better part. I saw a movie one time its called he's just not that into you. I love it! This is a quote from it...
"Girls are taught a lot of stuff growing up: if a boy punches you he likes you, never try to trim your own bangs, and someday you will meet a wonderful guy and get your very own happy ending. every movie we see, every story we're told implores us to wait for it: the third act twist, the unexpected declaration of love, the exception to the rule. but sometimes we're so focused on finding our happy ending we don't learn how to read the signs. how to tell the ones who want us from the ones who don't, the ones who will stay and the ones who will leave. and maybe a happy ending doesn't include a guy, maybe it's you, on your own, picking up the pieces and starting over, freeing yourself up for something better in the future. maybe the happy ending is just moving on. or maybe the happy ending is this: knowing after all the unreturned phone calls and broken-hearts, through the blunders and misread signals, through all the pain and embarrassment... you never gave up hope. "
Sometimes he is into you and you just have to do whats best for you. You might be alone for 4 years 4 days or forever but your never truly alone.

I love to see the temple

I Love this temple! I just went there with my new rommmate Melissa. I love this temple though! I figured since I love to see this temple you would too!! Have a good day!! And Thank you all for being such great friends and family! I love you!

There ARE good people in the world today!

Today I was driving around town, I was driving across BYU campus and I ran out of gas. I had to push my car down a hill to where it stopped and I had to sit in my car and decide what to do next. I was so blessed 2 different cars asked if they could push my car into a parking lot. I did and i got gas and headed home. I am determined to do something nice for 2 more people today. I heard this story one time about how one person got helped and went on to help another person who helped another person and a chain reaction of niceness happened. Well im sure those people who helped me are never going to read this but THANK YOU!! I was in a bind and I called my Heavenly Father instantly 2 angels came to help me out. Life is good!! Friends be sure to not let your fuel tanks go low. But if they do call me and I will come help you.

Michelle My Best Friend

Dear Michelle,

I miss you sis!! well everyone this is my sister michelle. all of you probably know her. She is my best friend and one of the funniest sweetest most beautiful people i know. She is usually pretty shy but some days she can be very loud :) Well I am just missin her so i thought i'd blog about her. Someone asked me what her and i do together when we see eachother. I can't even remember what i told them, but now i think about it we are just like any other pair of sisters... we eat our favorite foods, talk about boys we like, laugh at funny stories we have for each other, sneak out in the middle of the night to go to wal mart to buy X-Men, ya we are real cool. haha no but I love spending time with her and i miss her a lot, so michelle, i love you! I can't wait to see you again!!

Look in her pocket... totally has her cell phone ready to text. She has gone through over 5 phones in the past 2-3 years. She makes me laugh.

Her Smile is brigter than the sun. She has a heart of gold and a personality that is warmer than hot chocolate.
