Seattle Trip, Continued

Daniel and I flew out to Seattle on October 8th for Amy & Steve's beautiful Autumn wedding! 

While we were out there, Dan's family took us all to Ivar's--a seafood restaraunt right on the beach. 

 (Our meal: fish, chips, and clam chowder... all fresh)

On the pier, there were these seagulls who would play "fetch" for scraps of food. They sat on the railing and if you tossed food their way, they would jump or dive to catch it in their beaks! They were not scared of people one bit! These crazy seagulls provided several minutes of entertainment.

We walked along Pike Street, toured the market, and went to the shore. 

Later, we went to Snoqualmie Falls and had some fun at the lookout. Unfortunately, the trail that would have taken us closer to the falls was closed.

The trip was a great break from our classes and the wedding was absolutely beautiful! Unfortunately, we don't have any pictures of the wedding to share... so you'll just have to take our word for it! 

  

  

Seattle Trip

Seattle was gorgeous and Amy & Steve's wedding was absolutely beautiful! More pictures to come!

I'M ENGAGED!!!

Well, I have already posted pictures on facebook but I figured there was no harm in putting them up here too! I believe everyone who visits my blog has a facebook as well, so sorry for the repetition!
The jeweler was great! We got the ring at Sierra West. Dan actually went up there himself and talked to them after we found out that Shane Co. was in a bit of financial turmoil. They didn't have a band or setting similar to what I wanted, so they worked with Dan to come up with a 21 stone anniversary band which they could take the center stone out of, attach the crown, and order an identical band to make it a set.


Dan brought me in for a look around and of all the different settings, I liked what he and the manager of Sierra West had picked out the best ... So that's what we got!!

Dan proposed to me outside of the Jordan River Temple on Tuesday, April 14, 2009 (my Grandpa Young's birthday)!


At first, I thought he was trying to trick me! We were headed to our friend's apartment in Taylorsville, UT and Dan got off the freeway and started driving by the Jordan River Temple. I thought to myself, "I don't remember Brandon and Brooke living so close to the temple!"

Then, realizing I hadn't ever actually seen that temple before, I began leaning side to side so I could see it through the car window. I noticed the unique spire and Dan asked if I wanted to stop and walk around real quick.

"I get it," I thought, "He's going to fake me out every night this week by taking me to a different temple in UT each night!!"

Thinking I was totally on to him, I got out of the car and started walking around the outside of the temple. Dan started to "cut across the grass" (as I thought) and grabbed my hand from behind.

I turned to find him down on one knee with a box in his hand! =)


Guess he wasn't trying to trick me after all!!

Jeff's Birthday

Jeff turned the big 22 and we celebrated with a cake. The candle package lied to us, though. It was quite upsetting as it led us to believe dearest homie (Nicole) couldn't count...

The Jorgensens Come to Glenwood!

Mitchell got ahold of my phone while visiting the Glenwood.

I did it!!

Well, I may have actually somewhat figured out this whole blogging thing! Now I just need to inform people that my blog even exists! I feel like I'm writing a dialogue for myself, between myself!

...Oh wait... I am.
