This week has been mostly uneventful. I felt more on top of my homework than I have all semester. So that's been a plus.
Nathan found out he is officially laid off and is looking for work.
He filled his taxes today and gets over $900, so that will definitely be helpful.
In other news I called the Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple last night. I have now scheduled my endowment session for the evening before the wedding. I'm so excited I can't wait! They are to send me a letter with all the details. I think my favorite part is that they told me I can't get endowed without Nathan, it made me happy. I'm getting so excited to spend eternity with my dearest loving, redneck Nathan!
That's about all, except my spacebar fell off my laptop...so typing lately has been a slight pain...I am definitely going to go to the computer help desk tomorrow to have them help me fix it. :)

Date Night(s)
So Nathan surprised me on Friday! He had kinda hinted that he was going to come visit me. He called me around 1:30 and talked about how he was driving to different places in the Eagle Mountain area. At one point he ran out of gas, so when I asked him which gas station he was at he said "Do you want the truth, or what you want to hear" I said, "both" and he said "North Rigby" I had to go to class right then, so he drove to Rexburg, parked at the temple and walked to my building where my room was. He waited for me to get out of class, and I ran out of class and down the hall to where he was. I gave him a huge hug, introduced him to my 2 favorite physics teachers, and then headed off to my tutoring appointment.
After that we went to dinner at The Manderine Chinese place by Walmart, which was amazing! He also took me to Big 5 and bought me new shoes and a pair of boots that where on sale for $8. Then we went back to my apartment and watched movies for my World Foundations class.
We went for a drive and talked. It was so wonderful to be in his car again, just the two of us like on our first date. I love how good about myself I feel when I'm around him, and I loved just being able to hug him and hold his hand!
Saturday we started out eating left overs of our Chinese and doing homework in the lounge. Then we went to dinner with a guy who served his mission in Alaska with Nathan when he was the Ward Mission Leader. It was really fun. After lunch we took off to Idaho Falls and did a wedding registry at Walmart and Target. Target seems to have a better program, plus they had a gun with a trigger instead of just a button. It was really fun. Somethings on the registry are really random, and some things really expensive, but it was fun to just go with Nathan.
Next came homework, more movies for my class. I fell asleep during part of it though. Afterwards we went to dinner at Wingers and had a meal for two. I had sticky fingers, ribs, fries and beans. It was really good.
We went for another drive, and then back to my place and watched "How to Train your Dragon" Then he went back to his Dad's house until the morning. He went to Sacrament meeting with me. I was feeling really sick, so he took me home after sacrament meeting, and was going to leave...but I forgot to grab my keys and was locked out. So he drove me to the Nature Park. I took a nap, and then we fed some jerky to the ducks and squirrels. I had a squirrel come and take the jerky right out of my hand. It was so fun. I felt like the luckiest woman in the whole world! Just sitting in his car talking about nature and stories of him with wildlife, things I want to experience. It made me realize how much I am really looking forward to our wedding in 53 days!
He brought me back to my apartment when my roommates got home, and I fed him lunch. I gave him some snacks for the road, and sent him on his way!
I am surprised I haven't cried yet, but I just feel so happy that I got to have him with me after so long, I'm not missing him as much. I miss him, but I don't feel as miserable, and I feel like I could survive 6 weeks if I don't see him again.
The biggest loss is my engagement ring. He took it to go get it sized. I'm happy I still have one, but I miss the shiny one already! I'm soooo excited to have it fit the correct finger though, and to be ready before the wedding!
Now back to the rest of my semester!

Now back to the rest of my semester!
Our First Libby Trip
So my Grandparents 60th Wedding Anniversary was on August 19th 2012. To celebrate, my family was going down from August 9th through the 13th. My mom told me I should invite Nathan, and I loved the idea. I asked him and he said he would have to check with his boss. Well, he got work off, and so we went!
On the way up Nathan and I wanted to get their earlier to set up sleeping arrangements and all that. So he and I drove down with my 2 oldest Nieces and Nephews. It was a lot of fun!
I made him a really big sandwich and he loved it! It was the first "meal" I made for him. Haha.
The sun was in our face, but Nathan and I had the sun visors in the car to block the sun for us...so we gave the sunglasses to Jeffrey and Adanya...It was a lot of fun!
We also stopped in Thompson Falls to stretch our legs. While we where there we found my dream truck.
So Thursday Night, Maga gave Nathan and I money to go get a pizza from Pizza Hut. It was fun driving with him in the town I grew up in.
Friday we went to the Libby Dam and took the Dam tour and swam at McGillivray with my family, and it was super fun! Here is Nathan and I driving home with Jeffrey. I look like I was looking at the phone, but I was looking at the Road I promise. It was so good to be able to drive in Montana!
Here is a rock Nathan found that looks like an ax...he found a stick later and put it together. He is soo excited to make is nature ax.
While we were in Montana, Nathan and I got into a discussion. He told me that he promised he would never break up with me, I'd have to break up with him. I got mad and told him that made me feel like he was forced to be with me. He kinda got upset, grabbed my arm and said "Emma, It's because I've been wanting to ask you a question. Will you marry me?"
At this moment I wanted to say yes, but I wasn't ready for that commitment yet. I had a hard time accepting giving up a person I had liked and been friends with for 4 years, to someone I've only know for like 2 months, and only dated for 1. I told him that I wasn't ready to say yes, that I didn't want to say yes until I was sure, but that I felt good in our relationship, and that it had a very likely chance of getting to that level with a little more time.
He told me a few weeks ago he had convinced himself he would run away if I had said no. I'm so glad he decided to stick around!

The next day the family took a trip and saw the swinging bridge and the Kootenia falls. Here are a few of my favorites.
