I HATE PINK

Ok... so as we all know... I HATE PINK... so I feel the need to justify my new choice in blog backgrounds:

1) The background is mostly black
2) I like purple and to me the color passes as a light pastel purply color
3) I think the design looks cool, so neyah!!!

ALONE

yeah yeah... I'll update when i find where i put my pictures when i moved... but until then this is what's going on now:

There comes a time when you realize that you're alone... those people who were once called your friends only talk to you when you call or text them... they never text you... the only time you ever hang out is when you arrange it... they never invite you to spend time with them... and then you realize that it's been this way for years, and nothing's really changed except now you know that you're alone.

I need a BEST friend... one that actually cares about me... and not because they're obligated or related or married to me... One you actually, truly cares.

BRYCE'S BIRTHDAY!!!

So the love of my life is one year older... 24!!! He's now the same age as my brother... For his birthday we went floating down the Salt River! We got there around 8:30 in the morning so the parking lot was almost completely empty! It was cool because we got to park right up front. By the time we got out on the river it was about 9:20 and we did the 4 hour float which ended up taking about 3 hours.

Half way down the river Amanda got stung by a wasp, fell off her tube, and was flailing in the water, but the wasp still wouldn't let go... it just kept hanging on :) POOR AMANDA!!! Well instead of getting back on the tube she decided to go for a swim, and Kelci decided to go and swim for a floating water bottle making herself a river hero!!! Well that left me as the only girl still in the tubes. After about 5 minutes I decided to ditch the boys and join my friends...

After swimming for another 5 minutes, and watching the boys hit tree after tree, the boys started to catch up to us and we could hear rushing water up ahead. So we swam back to the tubes and hopped on... well at least Amanda and I did. Kelci however couldn't catch up... she started swimming back a little to late. So Kelci was riding out the light "rapids" trying to keep from swallowing too much river water. and Amanda untied her tube to try and save Kelci, but it didn't work... Everyone got through it with out getting too messed up and we continued to float. :)

Poor Bryce... the entire time he was floating down the river on this tiny patriotic tube... it was clearly made for the pool and not the river, but it only needed to be blown up once while on the river.
At least the cooler got a bigger tube and stayed a-float even if Bryce didn't :P

Well after we left the river Bryce and I returned to his house and had lunch. Then Bryce had to go to work for a bit... and while he was gone I got to work making his Birthday dinner. Bryce requested chicken enchiladas and a dinner with his family, so that's what he got!

TACOS
CHICKEN ENCHILADAS
CHEESE ENCHILADAS
TOSTADAS
SPANISH RICE
BEANS
HOMEMADE SALSA
CHIPS
HOMEMADE GUACAMOLE

AND THE BEST PART!!!
THE FORD TRUCK CAKE!!!

Of course I couldn't have done it without help from Bryce's family they were amazing bringing the drinks, rice, beans, homemade salsa and guacamole!!! Thanks you guys!!!

OUR ENGAGEMENT!!!


So Bryce and I have been dating on and off for the majority of the last nine months. He is the love of my life, and makes me happier than anyone I've ever known. Even on our very first date... after Ariana made fun of me for going on a date when I had sworn off men for the semester... I couldn't stop smiling. Seriously my cheeks hurt so bad... but in a good way :)

So Bryce had this surprise date planned for me... All I knew was that I was supposed to be at his apartment at 5pm and that it was "kinda lame" (his words not mine). About an hour and a half before I was supposed to show up he texts me and says, "Oh yeah, you should bring a bathing suit." So I just figured that we were going hiking or something and then swimming at his apartment complex afterward. Well I got to his apartment a little late, but he wasn't there... so I waited a while with his roommates and after about 15 minutes I decided to give him a call. He told me that he went to the store and would be there in a couple of minutes.

When he walked in the apartment he told me to change into my bathing suit. After I looked at him with a puzzled look he's like, "OH YEAH, I forgot to tell you. We're going to a lake!" I got so excited! We had never gone to a lake before! So I changed and went out to the car. We started driving to his aunts house to pick up the boat, and he explained that the boat doesn't have oars...
"Is it a motor boat?"
"No"
"Then how will we steer it?"
"Well you can get behind it and kick us forward while I steer with my arms!... Never mind, you'll see it when we get there."
So we get to his aunt's house and the boat is a paddle boat. You know the kind that you steer by kicking with your feet.
IT WAS SO COOL!!!!

Anyways we get out to the lake and load the cooler onto the boat and start paddling. Well this just happened to be when the freak May monsoon storms decided to show up. so the wind was blowing in the opposite direction, and even if we paddled our hardest it seemed like we were getting no where. So we decided to set a goal, we were going to paddle out and around the far booey and come back. Well once we got out to the center of the lake the wind stopped so we decided to sit out in the middle of the lake and watch the sunset.While we were sitting on the lake Bryce and I started talking about random things while he was wrestling around in the cooler (I thought he was pulling out dinner or something). Then he says, "Chelsey you know I love you right? I know I don't say it enough, but it's true! and you know that I want to spend eternity with you." Meanwhile he pulls out a bouquet of red roses, hands them to me, and pulls out a ring and says, "So Chelsey will you marry me?"

Well of course knowing me I had to have a blond moment, right then :) So I was just smiling, hugging him, smelling my roses, just unbelievably happy. Then I realized that I had never answered him, and I was like, "OH OF COURSE I'LL MARRY YOU!!!"

So I was hugging and kissing him, and I'm like, "I feel like Screaming!!!" and Bryce says, "Go ahead!" So I yell, "I'M ENGAGED!!!" and then I hear "It's about d*** time!" from the shore. It turned out that Bryce's roommates and Lance were there the whole time. :)

So that's how it happened! Not the most romantic but it was perfect!!! It fit our personalities and our relationship perfectly! And I wouldn't have had him ask any other way!

~I LOVE YOU BRYCE~

OH LOOK... I FINALLY GOT A BLOG :)

Well unlike the rest of my friends... I am not witty and creative. So, I will try my best to add a bit of humor to my blog as it transitions into a thing to remember and hopefully a page worth following.

I'M ENGAGED!!! YAY!!!

So I have determined not to become one of those boring married couples who sit at home doing nothing all day long. My life is not about to end, and my communication with the world will not dissipate. In a hope to more fully tie myself to the world I created this blog... Hopefully people will read it :)
