OKAY, So Im counting down!!

The other day I told my little sisters that my life is even more romantic than the Twilight movie. They completely disagreed but that's okay, what do they know? The truth is, that I am completely in love and getting married to my favorite man in 9 days and 36 minutes! We are so excited!

Not That I'm Counting :)

Only 23 days 21 hours and 29 minutes until I get to be with my best friend FOR ETERNITY!! I am so excited!!

Let Me Introduce You...

DID I MENTION THAT IM GETTING MARRIED?! :) Let me introduce you to my best friend and the man I have been searching for 24 years...Jason Fredrickson! Yes, the only man on the face of the earth that could convince me to drive a 53 passenger bus! He is the one who taught me to drive that beast. I met him at an FHE at my own home! SO much for searching the world, I found him in my own living room! I am incredibly blessed and happier than I have ever been before. I am grateful to a loving Father in Heaven who helped me realize what I had when I was to stubborn to open my eyes and see it:) The big day is December 12, 2008! SO if you want to come send me your address!

On our way back from Anchorage the weather was too foggy to land in Ketchikan. We ended up having to fly to Seattle and spent four long hours in the airport before we could finally get a flight back to Ketchikan. Our trip from Anchorage to Ketchikan ended up taking us from 5:30 am to 9 pm! It was a very long day. When I got home and looked in the mirror I learned why they call those "red eye" flights. I thought I would be happy to never fly again. But I am flying home in two days and that makes me so excited! If I had the ability to sing to you now I would sing the Buble line "IM COMIN' BACK HOME"!

Had to add photos of my partner Jamie and I accepting our medals and of Jason and I following the long two day event.

Alaska State Special Olympics

Jason and I just got back from the Special Olympics Unified Bocce Ball
Tournament in Anchorage Alaska. It was so much fun to spend the weekend together and with our special needs friends. Jason and Joe played really well and placed fifth in the men's division. My partner Jamie Fitzgerald and I did really well too. We actually won the first place gold metal prize for the women's division. It was priceless to see the happiness in her eyes when we stood on the stage and accepted our gold metals! They all have so much to teach us, if we will only listen.

DAD! Now I know two things that I dont want to be when I grow up. The number one is a bus driver (great experience that I am happy to see end). The number two is a fisherman! I went deep sea fishing for my first time with Jason and the Fitzgeralds (family he lives with) this last week. I have always wanted to catch a halibut but I quickly got over that desire when we got out on the open ocean. I spent 6 full hours with my head in the toilet and over the side of the boat! It was a horrible experience. I told them "you catch the fish, I'll watch the toilet". Needless to say, I am cured of my desire to be a fisherman. So dad, I may still not know what I want to be when I grow up, but I do know two things I DONT want to be! We are going to slowly narrow it down, and maybe someday I will have an answer for you.
