He asked, I said yes!

Yeah, yeah...every time I blog I swear I am going to blog more often and it never happens. Lots of blog-worthy things have happened the last couple of months, but since I probably will never get around to catching up, I'll just post the big and best news: John and I are engaged! Woot woot! We are really excited! There is no elaborate engagement story to share...sweet and simple, which will also be the theme of our wedding if we can help it.

John was able to have a nice talk with my dad after Christmas dinner and then after that we went for a drive around Bountiful to see some pretty lights. We drove around for awhile talking and then headed up the mountain toward the 'B' to check out the city view. It was nice to enjoy some peaceful quiet after 2 days of family fun and the commotion and joyful chaos that comes with Christmas with kids...then he asked and I said yes! I got exactly what I wanted for Christmas! We will keep you all posted with wedding details as we get the planning going, but the date will probably be August 28, 2010.



In other news, I started my new job at Deer Valley. Things are going well so far-I got promoted to a Lead Teacher (yes, a real promotion with a raise and everything) so I am now in charge of the 'Big Tots' or the 2 years olds. It can get pretty crazy in our class with so many toddlers, but my days are busy and I sleep well each night because I'm so exhausted.

Also, my blog is no longer private (for those of you seeing this in your google reader, etc) because I am not currently job searching or anything right now. I plan to keep it open as long as I feel comfortable doing so or until the next important job search. :-) Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!
