So we got the proofs from the engagment photos!

Yay! Boy met girl, girl and boy fell in love, boy asked girl to marry him... girl said yes! So, there have been many requests for the story of how Rob proposed, and many more for pictures of the ring. I didnt want to type the story out too many times, so I'll just give everyone the link here to read the hows, wheres, and whens! Oh, and my memory card is having trouble tranfering the pictures to the computer, so you'll all have to wait a bit for pictures! On July 1st, which happened to be my mom's birthday, AND Canada Day, Rob took me to the LA Griffith Observatory. We went out to dinner before-hand to a sushi place that seemed like a random hole in the wall... little did we know that we'd end up sitting at the table next to Bette Midler! Anyway, we didn't bug her... just stared a little bit, and evesdropped a lot...lol. We finished dinner, and then headed over to the observatory. We watched the laser star show, and then went up to the top of the building over...

Yay! I love stealing Robs computer! So, the Relay for Life went really well. We really only had about 3 weeks to prepare, as we got involved really late. All in all we raised over $600 dollars for the American Cancer Society. BJ's restaurant even got involved and held a fundraiser night (which reminds me, I need to pick up the check from them). And then the day of the relay, we got all set up, and I gave massages all day when I wasnt walking, as a way to earn some extra money for the ACS. It was a ton of fun, and some people even came back for a second massage. I may have gotten a few new clients out of it too! The whole relay was super amazing and emotional. There were so many people there, and to be able to see firsthand the lives it touched, was an amazing experience. I highly recommend getting involved, or at least just making a quick visit to any local Relay for Life's in your area! Theres a ton of great fundraising and raffles... Next year I want to raffle off a pupp...

So, I'm supposed to be working on a paper for my Political Science class because the library closes in about an hour. But, I decided that it was giving me a headache, so I'm taking a break! Quick update on life since I cant really post anything without a computer at home... My big current thing is that I am a team captain for the Relay for Life in Santa Clarita. Its my job to get a team together (sponsored by my job, Promenade Dentistry) and get contributions to help fight cancer, and fund research on cancer. Then on the big day, May 30 at 9am, we start walking. I need team members, cause its a 24 hour walk, and they want at least one representative from a team on the track at all times. Its a track at the local Central Park, so we're not going far! I'm going to have a tent and a table there at the event, and when I'm not walking, I'll have a massage table out to give 10 minute massages, and all the money earned will go to the cause! I'm really so exc...

My computer refuses to turn on anymore. =( I talked to the computer guy at work, and he said it was the plug in part that charges it up that is dead. He said it wouldnt be worth it to fix, that it is better to get a new computer. Unfortunantly I am saving up for a possible large event, so I dont have any extra cash just laying around. So, I must be content just using Robs lappy, and the computers at school. Moment of silence for my beloved laptop....

So we had munch and mingle at church, and I decided to bring some cakes. I've been wanting to try my hand at cake decorating because it seems like an easy way to save money on a wedding would be to make the cake. So I prepared, watched little videos, and got a general little design in mind. Here is the finished product! I think with a little bit more practice, I could actually do my own wedding cake! I just loved decorating too! IT was so much fun! I really want to experiment more, and try new things! So, I do not think this will be the end of creative baking for me... look for more to come!

So, Saturday, I woke up and my eye was kinda red. I thought I had pink eye. Well, I finally remembered that though I dont have health insurance, I could see the nurse practitioner at the school, since I'm a student, which made me very happy considering the fact my eye had gotten so bad, I wasnt sleeping through the night. She told me on Wed. night that I had a sty on my upper eye lid that got out of control for some reason, and got infected, and the infection spread along all of my upper eye lid, and even into my tear duct! She gave me some drops and said I should be feeling better the next day. Well, the next day, my eye was twice as swollen! She ended up calling me in some oral antibiotic, and I noticed the first small improvements today, finally! But really, A whole week of red, itchy, swollen, painful eye is just getting old now! I'm about ready to cut the whole thing out and just try to make the eye patch fashion work! And today, the thing has been tearing up so c...
