Engagements and Such

First off since Thanksgiving just passed I want to let you all know that I am so very grateful for the family I have. They are all so nice and always willing to help. I am so glad I got to spend a little time with them this weekend, even though it was not long enough.

Even though I have been engaged for 2 weeks, its still weird to think about. But as time passes, and more plans need to be made, it has been getting more and more real. 

This last weekend we took engagements and I am really happy how they turned out! So I am posting a few favs (it was very hard to choose) and if you want to see more go to this site and click on Dallin and Audri's engagements :)

I know, I posted more than a few, but can you blame me?! I hope everyone is getting ready for the end of the semester, only 3 weeks left...yep I freaked when I realized that too! haha

Enjoy the Holidays and don't get too stressed! And I will keep you updated on plans!!

In the Spirit of Thanksgiving

This week is Thanksgiving and to get it all started out right, watch this video. I like it and I hope you enjoy it too.  All of us have many things to be grateful for, so keep that in mind while you are spending time with your family and other loved ones.

I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving!! I know I will because I get to see my family and then spend time with Dallin <3

He stole my heart so I'm stealing his last name!

So....

I"M ENGAGED!!!!!!!

Honestly I couldn't be happier! I am marrying the best guy out there and I am SO happy. So I know you are all wondering how it happened, I will tell you...

Since it was 11-11-11 he made a scavenger hunt that dealt with the number 1

At every place I had to take a picture and he gave me a rose...isn't he the sweetest?! 

so here are the "Firsts" he used:

Today’s 11-11-11

And I thought we’d have some fun.

We’re going on a “1^st” date hunt,

Using the number “1” 

Remember our 1^st kiss?  Wasn’t it great?

It happened at this very spot.

I realized right then, you were meant for me.

And I KNEW that I loved you a lot. 

You made me my 1^st true Aggie you see.

We waited in line for hours it seemed.

I’ll never forget this special place,

It was one of the best nights, you just gleamed!

 We held hands “here” for the very 1^st time,

I knew I liked you right from the start.

And every time we hung out together,

I felt that love grow in my heart.

For our 1^st VIP concert, we went to this place.

We had fun taking pictures that night.

We talked and laughed and acted crazy, too.

Everything seemed to be going just right.

For our 1^st Halloween activity, we traveled to here.

The tickets were free—we were glad.

We had so much fun doing all that we did.

And you looked beautiful…I might add.

Before Thriller, we saw “these” riding round town.

You said you’d never been on one before.

So TONIGHT will be our 1^st for that too.

I hope you know you’re the 1  I adore!

 I knew he was going to propose that night but I was thinking that we would go on this carriage ride, go back to temple square where he would propose. 

 The carriage  man dropped us off at Memory Grove while he turned the carriage around. I was thinking, ' there is no way he knew this was going to happen' 

We stood on a cute bridge talking and he said,"Aud I really love you" next thing I know he is down on one knee asking me to marry him!!

Of course I said yes :) 

I am so excited to be apart of the Payne family and to have more sisters :) They have been so nice and welcoming to me.

I am excited to have many adventures with my best friend and no worries... I will keep you all updated on our plans! :)

*Winter*

I will admit it, at first I wasn't ready for winter, actually I was kind of dreading it. But then I woke up Saturday, looked outside and saw the BEAUTIFUL snow on the ground, that's when I remembered why I LOVE winter.

It is now officially November which is my favorite time of the year. My two favorite holidays are Thanksgiving and Christmas. I love watching the snow fall, I love the coziness of winter,  the lights, hot chocolate, fireplaces or heaters but most of all I LOVE being with my family.

Did I mention I LOVE cuddling with my two favorite roommates

I am excited for the breaks because I get to spend time with my family. I just love being with my brothers, my mom and my dad. They are some of the best people in the world!

my family minus my Beautiful mom

I do have one problem, I need some more warm clothes. I realized that my boots are worn out so I need new ones, I want boot socks to keep me warm, probably a new hat, and long sleeve shirts. One would think that by now I would be set, but when you wear long sleeve shirts and sweaters everyday during the winter, which is a long time when you live in Logan, they get worn out and you need new ones.

Basically I am SO excited it is winter and the holiday season is here!! <3
