Wedding Bells!

Wow. I can't believe that once you get engaged your whole life turns to wedding planning! Alex and I have been doing a lot, just so that we can get ahead and have a laid back wedding! It is hard to figure out how many people are going to attend the washington wedding because a LOT of people from Iowa all decided it would be a good excuse to go get away and visit some relatives while they are there! So it will be fun whoever shows up and we will all have a good time. We got the grooms tuxes chosen out and they are going to look SO SHARP! I cant wait to see how handsome alex is going to be :)

I also wanted to say how thankful I am for Alex. He really does know the right thing to do at the right time. He is my best friend ( well besides my sisters!!) and I cant wait for him to my husband!

I dont think i got around to writing down the story of the engagement... but I will write it on our wedding website (that I need to find time to make!!) .

Happiest girl alive!

I just thought I would make it public...ALEX AND I ARE GETTING MARRIED!!! Alex proposed tonight and I can't be any happier! We are planning on a Jan 2 wedding, but if you can't make it to that we will have an iowa reception in Sioux Center Jan 14th i think? So ya .. I tried to take pictures of the ring... but bear with me and the bad quality!

from way back... but i think i found my prefect man

Well I have a little time off of what i am working on so I will tell you story! Today my summer job is to pressure wash the backyard bricks and side walk. SO i started off with the job and found it was really fun! So i started doing the bricks then i saw the bbq griller was dirty so i decided to pressure wash that, then I saw the propane tanks for the bbq where dirty so i was going to do them, but then i remembered something i learned in school, that maybe they would blow up, so i did not do them. Then i did the hot tub, the flower pots, the random bee that tried to sting me, I was going to do my legs because dirty was flying everwhere due to the high pressure, but then i relized that would be a terrible idea, i would hurt myself! So i decided i want to be a pressure washer person when i grow up. Forget colllege when you can pressure wash!!! So these are my shoes after pressure washing everything, so dirty!! I was just as dirty.. all my clothes where drenched with mud! And here is my good old pressure washer.. my new favorite machine! well its time to go back and pressure wash! have a good day

Lots Going On!

Hello All!
It has been a busy, but good couple weeks so I have not had much time to blog about all the fun things going on!

Well last week my parents came to iowa, so that they could check up on Diane and me and also so my dad could meet Alex. It was really fun to have them here and Alex and my dad hit it off! We went out to eat with his parents to a nice restaurant and then we also went boating on Alex's boat. My dad was crazy and tried to water ski but that water was really cold/too rough that it did not last long until he was back in the boat! WE enjoyed my parents stories about Banglidesh and it was sad to see them go!

Then I started another clinical in Sioux Center. It has been going pretty good and I have been getting to do a lot of stuff!


Then this weekend was supposed to be the summer celebration for sioux center with parades and all these activites but it started raining so most things were cancelled. however the die hard fire fighters still had their water fights. So that was fun to watch... a little cold... but fun. ( you cant resist a bunch of firefighters in their fire gear ;) ) I also took Bentley to it, who decided to POOP IN MY CAR! The dumb dog.. but i got it cleaned up good as new ;)

Anyways, thats the sweet and simple for now , I will probably have more news later ! Hope everyone is doing well and here are some pictures to end the blog with! Or maybe not. ... they are taking a while to load so i will just post them later!
