The best birthday EVER!!

I would first like to thank everyone for all the birthday wishes! This year my birthday was extra special! I was able to spend the evening with my love, Sterling! I knew he had something extra special planned for me because the Sunday before he told me that he had a surprise for me and to dress nice! I tried all week to get it out of him with no luck. So at 6pm I arrived at his house all dressed up for the evening. He drove us up to SLC and surprised me with dinner at The Roof in the Joseph Smith building! We had the best view of the temple! It was SO awesome! After dinner we tried to walk around temple square, what was open, it was pretty late and things were closing up. But we were able to listen to the Tabernacle choir practice. That was pretty cool. After that we walked around a little more and found a quite spot and took in the view of the temple. Then Sterling tells me to close my eyes and hold out my hands,I do, only to find a box in my hands. Totally excited to know what was in this box I opened it to find a ring!!! Now this isn't the official ring but its an eternity ring to wear until my ring is finished. I was so surprised! He is such a romantic guy, I love it!! So that night I agreed to wear his ring as a promise that we will be sealed for all eternity!

We're getting MARRIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sterling and I are excited to let everyone know that we are getting married!! The date: November 14th!
Location: looks to be either SLC or Provo area, more details will come with time. Please start sending me your addresses!

Easter

Easter...Sterling and I went to church for the first time together and spent the evening enjoying the kind of warm weather. On Monday Sterling bought me this chocolate bunny for Easter! Isnt it SOOO cute! Im still working on it, and thankfully Sterling is helping me eat this big ear bunny! I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!!

My very 1st trip to the ER

Thursday night...like any other night. Sterling, his father Bruce and I had gone out to eat and then spent some time afterwards at Sterlings house. Sterling and I had decided to get midnight tickets to The Fast and the Furious. After picking up tickets around 9pm we headed back to his place and took a little nap on the couch until 11. We got to the showhouse and waited in the line for the 12:05 showing. The line was long and we had about a half hour before we were able to get seats. As we were standing there everthing was fine, I was a little tired and trying to pop out of my cat nap mood. When all of the sudden I felt like I was starting to have an anxiety attack and got really warm. My chest got really tight and I looked up at Sterling and said I think Im having an anxiety attack while trying to take my coat off when BAM I was out! I dont remember falling or anything for sometime, the only thing I could hear was Sterling saying my name and seeing nothing but black. When I finally came too I couldnt understand where I was or why my mind was so foggy. The first thing I said was Sterling (I had actually said this a couple of times but according to Sterling it was in my head because I didnt say a thing)and then grab for my head because it hurt so bad. My vision was blurry for a little while and then Sterling helped me sit up. I could tell Sterling was really worried. And after sitting there for a little they helped me up and walked me to the nearest sitting area only to start blacking out again. So Sterling sat me down on the floor and an employee got us some water. All I could think about was my head and how bad it hurt. We sat there for some time and thats when I asked him what happened. Sterling told me that I was unbuttoning my coat and telling him that I was having an anxiety attack when I went down like a straight board! He said that I went down so fast and hard that he didnt have time to catch me and my head hit so hard that my sholders and head hit my chest and then hit the cement floor again. He though at one point that I was having a seizure because my whole body got really tight, so tight that he couldnt straighten my legs or arms. So after I came too and felt well enough we went back to Sterlings place and kind of waiting around to decided weather we should got to the ER or not. After some time my headach proceded to get worse and I decided to go to the walk in clinic. Once there they simply told me to go to the ER. So to the ER I went. They must have known I was coming because they took me right back a room and saw the doctor right away. After an EKG, blood, urine, cat scan and a bunch of other test I waited around for the test results. As I layed there I wished that Sterling didnt have to work. An hour goes by and the ambulance brought in an older man into the room next to mine. I could tell it was serious because everyone was running around and family was running into the room and up and down the hall. Not to long after that I could feel that this man had passed. And sure enough I could hear the flat line of the heart monitor and then his wife crying. I instantly wanted to get out of there! I text Sterling and told him that I wanted him there ASAP! And he was so kind as to call of work to be by my side. Sterling got to my room just as I was rolled back into my room from a cat scan. We sat there for awhile and then got the good news that everthing checked out ok. I do have a minor concussion but nothing serious at all. I was told to get loads of rest and to take it easy. After being released Sterling got some lunch and we headed to my place to eat and rest. His father dropped by to check in but didnt stay long so I could get some rest. After that Sterling and I slept til around 8 and then he took off in my car to get his car back to his place and take care of some things. He later came by to drop off my car and see how I was doing. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful, loving boyfriend! Thank you Sterling!

So this picture is the SECOND attempt to get blood! He started on the right hand and kept stabbing me, finally I told him to stop because I was getting REALLY light headed then he went to the left arm. Kind of messy, but he finally got blood! Then he left the thing in me!! AHH not comfortable!
This picture was taken right when I was put into my room, notice Im not on the bed (it creeped me out that I was there alone with all that medical stuff)...

ATTENTION!! Yep, I finally have pictures!

I finally pulled the camera phone and got pictures!! For everyone that is dieing to know what Sterling looks like....behold....my drop dead hottie of a boyfriend! We had just had dinner with his father and were sitting on his couch waiting to go to the movies. He is such a character! Enjoy!

Family, Friends and Fun

Last night I was able to have dinner with Sterling, his father (Bruce) and some of their family friends. Unfortunately I do not remember the names of all who were there but enjoyed meeting them and sharing the celebration of a birthday. Just in the few hours I have been able to spend with Bruce I have truly enjoyed his company. A very warm and caring person! Below is a picture taken last night at Fuddruckers.
