CELESTIAL!

CELESTE is my amazing younger sister.
Wednesday was her 18th birthday!

Now all the kids in our family are officially adults :)
Celeste is such an incredible person! She memorizes every line from every movie or comedian, and is constantly making us laugh. She is extremely talented and has such an individual style that I love. She is very supportive and always willing to help others. I love her so much! We became close when my brother and sister were both on missions and Celeste and I were the only ones home. We've had many great times, and I am excited for many more.
C- I love ya!


One of her hilarious faces- fourth of july


Celeste and I on the beach in Cali last year.

engaged!

Paul has all the pictures from the wonderful events of last night, but here is the beautiful ring!
The wedding band will go under the diamond (kind of like an x with the other band.)
Okay, here's the story.
It was Paul's Birthday.

We had delicious cupcakes.

Then we went bugcatching. A favorite past time of ours.
During which there was a beautiful sunset... (and luckily I wanted
to take pictures...Paul wasn't thinking about pictures at the time)
and then Paul tricked me and instead of putting a bug in my hand...
it was a RING!
So.
Then he said some very wonderful things.
And asked me to marry him...



I said YES!


Then Cam and Cody had set up a lovely dinner for us.
Thai food, roses, martenellis, the whole works.
And me and my FIANCE feasted.


We went to Camie and Cody's after and had some ice cream and brownies.
A few friends came over to celebrate Paul's birthday too.


Don't worry. Smooching is legal now!
We're engaged!!!!

I miss taking pictures...
I need to do more of it- but I'm sick of the ugly wet snow- and really don't have tons of time.

But here are some old ones.
