New Apartment

This is the view of the kitchen filled with all the great gifts we got from the shower... minus a couple (Thanks Jen and Cath). And then the table we bought from IKEA. It was a great deal, and fun to put together. I convinced Doug to read the directions, and to let me help. Thanks to Cheryl we were able to purchase a new table.

Then the bed and dresser we got from RC Willey. Another great deal. A night stand was included, it's not shown in the pictures because it just doesn't fit in the bedroom. We painted the walls this color, they used to be lime green. That wasn't what we were going for.

Happy Father's Day

Well school is finally over for the summer, and I think I got fairly good grades, especially considering how awful they were last semester. I got put on academic warning for it... oops. Doug has been a good influence on me, he gets good grades, and my competitive nature won't allow me to totally fail. We found a place to live for the fall. It's a really nice apartment, close to campus, and it's right across the street from where Doug works. We decided to just bite the bullet and sign it for July, a lot of places are only renting for July, August contracts are hard to find, and we wanted to secure a place. It will be nice to have the extra month to gradually move the big stuff in as we get it. Plus, the bedroom is lime green, that doesn't really fly with either of us, so we'll be painting that. We got our engagement pictures taken last week, and we're going to get the announcements taken care of this week. We met with a lady yesterday who does the decorations for weddings, and picked out what we wanted. Everything is just coming along nicely.

The Ring

So here's the ring. I had told Doug basics of what I'd like, and he just picked it out. He did an amazing job.

Engagement

It's official. Tell your friends. Lizzie is engaged.

The Boy

Here he is, mystery boy. Just for the record. His name is Doug Jaffa. He's from Sandy, Utah. He's a computer science major, a.k.a. nerd. But that's okay. He has four brothers and one sister. Almost just the opposite of our family, he falls second to last too. He went to Germany on his mission (bonus points there). I don't know what else to say. He's great.

So... Ummm

So, the past few weeks have been kinda crazy.... There is less than a month of school left. Then I'll be trying to find a phlebotomy job. I have a boyfriend, another one, Jenny and Cathy have met him. I hope you guys liked him, because, well, it's not official, yet, but you will probably want to clear your calendars for the end of August.... If you know what I mean.
