I've been rather whiny about Adam being sick. Timing could not be worse and it just totally bummed me out that he has been so sick.
Then today, I was just informed that one of my friends has skin cancer, has to start chemo this summer, can't do his internship, and all of this out of nowhere last weekend. Needless to say, his fiance is having a little bit of a rough time with it.
The Lord has blessed me. Mono (or whatever Adam has) is not fun, but it is a blessing in a way. I have Adam, we are getting married this summer, and even if we still aren't sure what we are doing this summer exactly, we at least know we aren't going to chemo.

That will be my name on June 11th. You have all been aware of that fact, but I'm excited about it. So I thought I would post.
Adam is amazing, so wonderfully perfectly amazing. And I'm a very happy girl. You will all love him. He's going to be a great addition to this family.
Speaking of Adam...he's sick. Super yucky, not happy, nasty, bleh sick. Send some prayers up to heaven for him, so he can get back on his feet and finish up the semester. He might have mono, and has been told that he will be contagious for the next 3 weeks-3months. He is to not share food or kiss anyone for 3 months. We get married in a little over two. Ummmm...yeah. That said... he will be avoiding both David and Traci, as well as all babies and mothers of babies. Don't be offended. He just doesn't want to hurt anyone.
ON a different NOTE:
I was looking at old posts...
About a year and a half ago, I made a post about finals and it makes me laugh.
Finals aren't my problem this time around, it's projects. Projects that I have put off. Not because I'm horribly lazy...but I'm a little lazy.
BUT, I'm getting married. AND I am getting married to ADAM! I'm excited! So, so, so excited and happy and happy and excited.
As far as wedding plans go:
Flowers: white daisies
Colors: light blue and brown
Temple: Oquirrh Mountain
Date: June 11, 2010
Reception: Ben Lomond Suites Hotel- Ballroom in Ogden, Utah that night
Groom: Adam Earl Loose =)
Yeah, that's basically what is important

Today is my last day working at Sprucewood Elementary School here in Draper, Utah.
Do you know what that means?
1. No more waking up at 6, to leave the house at 7, to get to the school by 8.
2. No more rushing home at 2:30, dropping off the other girls from the carpool in a few spots across campus.
3. No more spending an hour and a half in the car daily, with four other girls who are all trying to finish up lesson plans, grade papers, do assignments, and read books...because none of us have enough time otherwise.
4. No more lunches in a lunch room with the teachers that ramble about district policies where half the time (if not more) I'm not quite sure what they are talking about or exactly what their complaint is.
5. No more getting home from the school, just to rush off to work, and to get home well after dark, missing all the beautiful weather we've had in Provo.
6. No more grading papers and wondering who on Earth taught these kids how to write...their handwriting is worse than the 2nd graders in my last school.
7. No more standing for the pledge every morning, always being impressed by the respect every student shows the flag.
8. No more reading aloud about WWII, and hearing the students heartfelt reactions to the horrors they are only beginning to understand.
9. No more watching students jump right into a stack of books because they actually WANT to know about Stalin, Hitler, Churchhill, and Mussolini.
10. No more learning random facts from your students and watching them impersonate dead world leaders (you should all see Addie be Mussolini...it's life changing).
11. No more seeing the lightbulb go on when you explain something about space (as if I know anything about space).
12. No more excited twelve year old girls ask about my fiance with such excitement.
13. No more doodles from Emily when she should be paying attention.
14. No more telling Riley that his head can hit the table when mine does.
15. No more hearing students share their dreams, what they WILL be when they grow up, and defend themselves if somebody tries to tell them otherwise.
No more...until the Fall.
I love teaching and it's one of the best things in the world. What a blessing it is to be able to teach. Thank you Mom for all you taught me. Thank you Dad for setting the expectation to go to college. Thank you sisters (and brothers-in-law...you helped too) for having cute kids. Thank you Dave, I'm sure you helped me somehow too (just kidding Dave, you have been such a blessing in my life).
9:12 PM
Take the Quiz here!
Yeppers. My fiance is Elizabeth Bennett. I guess that makes me Mr. Darcy. I'm a jerk.
6:05 PM
I took one of those quizzes that I never take (but this one said Jane Austen and I was in an Austen mood)
Surprise anyone? Anyone? Anyone at all?
I was thinking as I took the quiz I would get Emma Woodhouse (social, meddling, know it all) but I got what I have been accused of being my whole life (Stifling, responsible, friendly)
1:24 PM
Kirtlan thanks for setting such a good example and being baptized.
Grandma and Grandpa, you guys have been good examples too.
Hopefully Kirtlan will be good like you when he grows up.

How do you like to cook your Ramen Noodles?
Traci and I like to do it differently. I like to boil the noodles and then put just the noodles in the bowl. Then I add cold tap water and the whole seasoning packet! mmmm mmm. Traci likes to use as little water as possible and add the seasoning before the noodles even go in the pot. Then she makes sure she doesn't overcook the noodles and puts the noodles and the broth in her bowl. mmmmm mmm.
We love Ramen!
So, what do you do?
4:07 PM
So, as you all know
I'm poor.
Once before I asked for tips on how to save money and eat healthy at the same time...
you know, eating healthy isn't as important to me right now.
Other than ramen, what can I survive off of?
(Don't worry, I love produce, and I could never give up my fresh veggies and fruit. I won't die, I promise)
11:20 AM
Davey and Traci just found out they're having a bouncing baby boy! Yea!
8:53 AM
Hopefully this helps a little.....
(I always forget that they post the pictures backwards)
12:38 PM
Just a cool house
Yep, She's cool.
There is all the park goers but Chad whose taking the picture
Playing in the leaves
"What? This happened months ago." You say.
"Whaaaa?*" I say, "Man, time flies."
*Which means take it when you can get it.

Have you ever tried to answer that question. It's a little tough, but I just made an attempt, and I'd thought I'd tell all of you who I am
I'm Kimmie, not Kimberly. I can be Kim when necessary: calm, collected, hard working, intelligent (enough). But who I really am, Kimmie. I care about people a lot. Not just some people, but most people. But there are some that I care a great deal for. I am a friend. I like to let people in, I like to talk to them, and I like to help them. I love to love others. I love being loved. I am Aunt Kimmie, the one who isn't quiet an adult. I am a daughter, the one who isn't so much a child anymore but will still crawl onto her father's lap. I am independent and self-sufficient. I am happy. I am silly and goofy. I am confident in a pair of heels, comfortable in my slippers, happiest with my feet bare in the sand. I am loved and I am important
if to nobody else, to the Savior and the Father. I am a Daughter and He has a plan for me.
I am a nurturer, and I believe that is part of His plan. I'm Kimmie
don't worry, i'll copy it into my journal later

So basically, I am totally, utterly, ridiculously happy being with Adam Loose. Go ahead and all make fun of me. I don't care. I'm too happy to care (and honestly, we're weird...you should make fun of us).
But I thought I would share some pictures from our first date. It was a "blind date"...
as in we were blindfolded.
Adam and I have known each other since Fall '08. The first time he came over, he came with his little brother Carson. My first impression...weird boys. It took awhile, but I eventually got used to the weirdness that surrounded the Adam (and pretty much his entire apartment, actually).
Now I love it, his weirdness that is.
So sometime in September, Adam was teasing me and was trying to tell somebody that we were practically engaged. I declared, "I have never nor will I ever date Adam Loose!"
October rolls around, and I start to like him despite myself.
Sometime during that month (or maybe it was before, I don't remember), I was talking about how I really don't mind blind dates. Somehow we concocted this brilliant idea: A "blind" date, where one or the other is blindfolded for everything. It took awhile to put together, but we got his roommate in on it. The boys planned the activities (which included twister and a walk around campus), and the girls planned the food (we made sandwiches and had ice cream, the boys made their sandwiches while blindfolded).
To add to the craziness... we had this date on Halloween. A few weeks before I snagged my footie pjs (thanks Shelly and Chad) from Mom and Dad's because I knew Adam had a pair. we were cute (see below). The other couple was a 70's couple. It was pretty awesome...but nothing beats Adam in footie pjs with a boxing helmet on for no apparent reason.
So that was Halloween...We both knew we were just going as friends
Neither of us knew we liked each other
So...
We both kinda gave up in November.
December rolls around, and I want to see the Blindside.
My roommate had already seen it...bummer.
I'm sick of asking random guys I'm not that interested in on dates.
I complain about this to my roommate.
That night, Adam came over just to visit.
All of a sudden, it dawned on me. Take Adam!
So, our second date was earlier this month. I asked him. It was the boring movie and meal.
I'm not as creative.
Slowly through that week, we both came to realize that the other person was actually interested. After the date, we made it official. Later we talked about everything, and had a good laugh about Halloween.
So life is good and Adam is great. You should all meet him.
And stay tuned...more really awesome (or weird, if you are judgmental like Lisa ;) ) dates to come.
4:50 PM
We want to thank our great family who helped out and sacrificed for the wedding. Guess what? We love being married so it was all worth it! We love you all so much!
Love,
David and Traci Brown

"I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in beingstrong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe thattomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."
Audrey Hepburn
I found this today, and it made me smile. I think I can echo that quote pretty word for word.
Although, I'm not exactly sure I know what believing in pink means? Nevertheless, I'm pretty sure I believe in it
