Found the camera!

So according to my post last night I thought I left my camera at my cousins house in St. George. I actually found it in the bottom of my bag last night.

Sara spelled without an "h" was getting bored...

Alright the title of this entry is from the song "Zak and Sara" by Ben Folds. Super cute song and its even cuter because I'm marrying Zach and so forever that song will now be about us. Even though the spelling is different on his name. :P

I just got home from another weekend in Utah. This time my mom came along with me. Our plan was to go into major wedding planning mode and see how much we could get accomplished in one weekend. Well we bought my wedding dress, my temple dress, Zach's wedding band, started birth control, created our design for the cake, (almost) finished our registry, asked the entire bridal party and tried to relax somewhere in there. I feel so relived that I now have my wedding dress! Its so cute too! For those of you hoping for a picture, I'm sorry but that's not going to happen. Zach checks this thing too and he's not allowed to see. I can promise its cute and VERY comfy. I think if the silly thing had pockets the would never get my out of it!! Zach and I stayed up late every night talking and just being together. It is so hard to be far away from your fiance!!! So after five nights of not sleeping at all due to my fiance and my dog-- here we are. It's two AM and I cant sleep! I think its because I kept passing out in the car all day long so my sleeping schedule is completely off. This stinks!
So to cure my insomnia I am writing a post and job hunting. That should bore me to sleep soon enough. I am currently looking for jobs in CA as well as UT. I wasn't planning on moving up until the end of the summer but it looks like if I can get a job in UT earlier than planned I'm going to have to jump on it. Say a little prayer for me. This is where it gets a little hard. Zach just got a job as an EFY medical counselor here in CA for the summer. If I get a job in UT sooner than expected we get to spend the ENTIRE summer apart. So it will be bitter sweet to get a job but I know its the most important thing for now, and Zach and I will have eternity together.
Alright the tired-ness is starting to kick in. It's back to bed for this sleeping beauty. I will post more about the weekend with pictures and the fun stop in St. George on the way home. For now I left my camera in St. George and my cousin will be mailing it to me soon. Until then no pictures. :(

Our first present!

We have officially started reaping the benefits of being an engaged couple. We got our very first engagement gift today. This may not be a big deal to some, but to me its HUGE! I love decorating and everything that comes along with it. I think it is so much fun planning our future home. My parents gave us this beautiful everyday dinning set; including silverware for 8, 4 extra serving dishes, 8 large glasses, 8 small tumbler glasses, 8 big and 8 small plates, 8 mugs and even 8 salad bowls. Thank you SO much Mom and Dad!

I'm Engaged!

I guess I will just have to tell you about the entire day because it all leads up to the perfect proposal. It was the morning of our "dating anniversary" and we started off our day rock climbing because that is how we first met and we started doing things we did on our first few dates. I thought Zach was just being romantic and sweet like he usually is. I had no idea that there would be a big suprise at the end of the night. We werent able to rock climb for very long because I cut up my foot the day before and wearing super tight climbing shoes was really painful. We decided to head to the University mall for a pretzels for lunch. We stopped by the big gumball machine right in the middle, one of our now traditions. After lunch we went to the movies and saw 17 again. It was a really cute movie actually, which is better than our first movie together "Yes man"

The Quarry in Provo. Where we met.

Anyways, Zach told me to bring a change of clothes because we would be going out to a nice dinner for our anniversary, so we changed outfits and headed for dinner. Zach drove around for 20 minutes trying to get me lost only to return to the same parking lot we were just in to go to CPK for dinner (California Pizza Kitchen). I had a feeling something strange was happening because Zach kept reminding me of everything we did the first week we met.

After we had a very yummy dinner with fancy "drinks" and all we decided to get our favorite dessert to go, red velvet cake. MMMmmmmMMM! We jumped back in the car and drove to Zach's thinking spot. He wouldnt tell me where we were going but I started to figure out once we had gotten there that he had taken me to the park where we had our first kiss. It was across the street from the Mt. Timpanogis Temple. We pulled up to the park and went to go enjoy our cake on a bench. Zach pulled a large blanket, stereo, ipod and a backpack out of the back of his car. We walked over to a little bench and talked and ate cake. He played my favorite songs on the ipod and asked me to dance in the park.


After a few minutes of me freezing I ran back to my huge blanket to try and warm up. The sun was beginning to set and I was complaining of the weather. Zach said we could go but he wanted to take one last picture first. He had me walk a few feet away and turn around to look at the temple while he set the camera up on the table to do a timmed shot. When he finally told me I could turn around Zach was on one knee with the ring in hand and said the classic line we all know and love "Will you marry me?" I instantly just started crying and kissing him. He said "So, does that mean yes?" I knodded my head and he pulled the most beautiful ring out of its box and slipped it on my finger. I didnt realize that he had done a video of the entire thing too! He is the sweetest man in the entire world and I am so excited and lucky that I get to spend the rest of my life with him.

I look funny in this picture because it was right after it happened so my eyes were puffy from crying.

Here is the video of the day. Please ignoring the kissing and crying. I can get a little emotional sometimes.

San Diego Trip

My cousin Melanie needed help watching her daughter Payton for the week because her usual nanny was out of town. She called me up and I was more than happy to come down and play for the week. We went to the beach yesterday and had a blast! I think Payton had a great time splashing in the waves and playing in the sand.

Mommy for a YEAR

So today I officially became Bentley's mom for an entire year! For those who don't know who Bentley is, he is my 18 months old Maltese Yorkie puppy mix! He is getting to be such a big puppy and an even bigger pain in the butt! I still love him to pieces. I just cant believe how quickly time flies.

I think he likes me....

This weekend Zach came for a visit. That's right, the rock climbing guy from Utah. Lots has happened in the last month. Zach and I are pretty much crazy for eachother and are burning up the phone lines every day. His brother was coming down to watch motorcross this weekend so Zach jumped in the car with him to come spend time with me. So we went on a pre-Valentines date because he won't be in town next weekend. We slept in Saturday morning and then decided to go down to Balboa and play. It had been raining all weekend and the original plan was to suprise him and go to the Santa Monica Pier and then have dinner at sunset at the resturant on the peir. Super cute and super romantic. Well the rain ruined that plan and we came up with this idea.
