Chips Ahoy!!

So the last time I blogged was October...hence I have a lot to catch up on so I am going to summarize a few things here and there :D
Well I guess I will start with the biggest thing on the list, I'm getting married!!
I met Chipipher at an institute free lunch thing in September, which is a miracle in and of itself because they were serving hot dogs and I HATE hot dogs, so I stayed though cause I was STARVING :P Anyways this boy I had seen around, I played poker with his roommates, was sitting at our table, talking to my roommate Tae, they worked together at R&R Pizza, well Tae left with a phone call and left these two very unacquainted people alone at a table facing each other...good job. Well me being me I introduce myself and he replies that his name is Chip. This is the end of the 2nd week of school so he asked how classes were going and what I was taking. Well come to find out we were in the same Chemistry class!!! We even sat in the same stinkin' row and had never seen each other! Well that is where it all started. The first time I ever saw The Chip my thought process went a little like this, 1.His name is Chip, thats so cool! It's like that little teacup on Beauty and the Beast! 2. He is really attractive oh my word. 3. He has awesome hair. That was at Sunday School he was new and Jason Whetton introduced him because they sat in front of me and that is a very Jason thing to do, he didn't even know Chip haha

Well after that he tracked me down at Church a week later and asked if I knew what was going on in our class...which I didn't he said he didn't either, liar, anyways we got together for a study group and planned another for later that week. Studying Chemistry became a study of chemistry. We clicked! Instabestfriends! I think I really got his heart though when after playing volleyball I invited him to come to my house to eat Watermelon, its true what they say to get to a mans heart you have to go through his stomach! ;) We started Salsa Tuesday's every week and that turned into staying out talking and playing outside till 5 A.M., which kinda sucked for him cause 1.He needs sleep 2. He had a class every day at 7 A.M. Bummer. I did just fine though which was a plus :D I run pretty well on little sleep, and there was a boy involved so I was SO IN.

We started dating in September, and he popped the question November 19th at my favorite spot in the whole Gila Valley, I know alot of really amazing spots in this valley so that is a pretty coveted spot! ;)
It is the home of Bro. and Sis. Hancock in Pima, they have a bunch of trees and a mary-go-round, a tree house, a cute little legit outhouse, a bunch of old school lights hanging ALL over the yard, tis very cute and whimsical. Anyways we were supposed to go to dinner at some surprise place out past Pima. well we are passing "My Spot" and the lights are on! The lights are NEVER on! So he asks if I want to stop cause I got REALLY excited! I'm pretty sure my voice went up three octaves and my eyebrows shot through my forehead I got REALLY excited. So we stopped and he gets out and starts exploring and I get nervous cause I think that we are trespassing, little did I know that he had planned this whole thing with them anyways. I didn't realize what was going on until I saw a tye dye ribbon on a pot sitting on the table full of food, its the same kind of ribbon that was on a bouquet of Gerber Daisies and Peacock Feathers he gave me before we left :D He is so sthneaky ;) I love it :D
Well of course I said yes and we set the date for my favorite day in the WHOLE WORLD, March 17th! St. Patricks Day! :D Yes!! I'm super Irish and well the timing just worked out so well for that day with everything else it was perfect! we are getting married in the Mesa Temple, and as of today there are only 47 days left! Not that I am counting or excited or anything...its only my WEDDING!

Chip is from Miami, AZ.
He thinks he is Batman.
He is Batman.
Does that make me Batgirl?
He played Soccer, Football, Baseball, and Tennis in HS, Whew!
He got back from his mission to Pittsburgh Penn. in September of 2009
He doesn't like microwaving food in containers, it must be on a plate
He is the youngest of 6, with no less than 5 older sisters :P
We loves Hawaii and playing his cute little Ukulele
He will eat ANYTHING, and ALL of whatever it is he is eating
He has at LEAST 4 callics in his hair, and at least 2 in his facial hair, which makes our kids screwed because I have three in my hair too!
He loves me :D

Anyways this is turning out to be a super mushy and epically long blog so I will quit but I will write more later. I'm not feeling very witty this morning either so sorry is the boring factor was through the roof :P Oh but in other good news I started a Job at the ZERO Cardio Club in Safford as a Zumba instructor!!! I LOVE IT! :D Best job/boss/coworkers EVER! It's great! :D So in conclusion life is MOST EXCELLENT as Bill and Ted would say and I am pretty busy, but for as much as I am busy I am a million times happier :D
It's gonna be a good life ;)

She is for Display Only

What the freak! Really?! Honestly?! I am not sure how I go to even get into this "Zoo" but I am like the coy pond, there are so many little fish who look just like me that its fun for all the visitors to just fatten me up and keep going to look at the other attractions, but then out of the blue comes the Male Mallard in all his colorful wonderful glory...and what does he do?! Goes swimming! Why! You were in the mist of Peacocks and beautiful Giraffes, tigers and even the freakin camel is cute! Why ON EARTH would you swim in the pond, or even attempt to put a beautiful webbed toe int eh pond! Are you dumb?! Were you dropped one too many times from the nest?! Its a FREAKIN COY POND! On that note, I love that you did go swimming, I'm the happiest Coy anyone has ever seen.True Story. Honk.

Applejuice!

So I will start by saying that of all the Juices on this earth I have finally been introduced to one that appeals to me greatly.Applejuice.
I like applejuice, alot. And to be perfectly honest I am more than extatic to know that Applejuice just happens to like me :D

On another note Life is great! I am going to school and keeping up with stuff! I got Montie pictures the other day and he looks and sounds SO FANTASTIC! Ah! So happy to hear from a good friend :D
Dance is going well, its hard and pointe is amazing, I am so blessed that my hip is cooperating well enough for me to do what I love and need!
This weekend is a game! So was last week I am very excited and I know it will go well, I jsut hope my enthusiam rubs off on others who are less willing to continue with what they signed up for. I really wish that some individuals would see that their attitude has affect on those around them, and they need to realize that their team mates look up to them, whether they realize it or not! If only I could say these things without people getting offended, its called constructive critism and our team could benefit from it greatly! :P
I'm going picknicking tomorrow with Chipipher! We are going to take a radio and listen to conferance on our picknick :D Should be bueno :D
Other than that life is awesome! I finally got my energy back after being sick for almost two weeks and it feels AWESOME! I got a great compliment the other day, someone told me that I was the most enthusiastic person they had ever met, that just makes me extatic :D I would love that if that is how peopel knew me :D Someday!
Have an awesome week and smile, it tends to rub off on thsoe who need it :D

Babling

Hmmm...Well as in the tradition of the past I am going to try to be more open but not enough so that you ACTUALLY know what I'm talking about.This won't make sense to you...or it might. Just venting. And other happy randomosity :D Enjoy :D

I really like how people say how excited they are to hear from you and they talk to you all day, then you don't here from them for months.

I really love hypocrits or people who think its ok to say one thing and mean another. Or how they like to rationilize their behavior.Your a player...but your too self righteous to jsut say it, cause heaven forbid, YOUR NOT PERFECT AFTERALL! *gasp*

I do actaully like freinds who will lsiten to you and help you to realize that the things that you worry about are legitimate.

I wish that some people would understand that growing up isn't a movie, and that sometimes your frog prince is covered in mud, don't overlook him, he is STILL a frog, just not as happy and green as you were hoping.

In a perfect world Lance Armstrong and Jack Johnson are best friends.

Fear is a falasy. You only live once. Live it up. Balls Out.

Do what your supposed to do, and be where your supposed to be and the Lord will take care of the rest.

The name Lisa makes me think of the word Rice.

Kings of Leon take me to Philly in the Fall with the rain, the teal blue, the bib and the chandalear. Thank you Caleb Followill.

I LOVE SNOWCONES.

Biology and Dance make me happy and I am going to stay at EA to get both my Forestry and WIldlife Biology Degrees. I am still trying to accept that. I will officailly be an old lady when I leave here. 20. Gross.

I need to let some things go, shoulders are for brushing off and shrugging not bearing of harsh feeling EP, get it go.

I am happy and I deserve it gosh dang it :D

Mlogging Folly

So it's almost 2 in the morning and I am still awake, which isn' t the unusual part, but somehow sleep just does not seem appealing right now, thats the unusual part. I'm a Payne it is in my DNA to want sleep haha
I am in the beautiful 505 for a few days visiting family, I would like to give a shout out to Mr.Bret Jensen, thanks for the break, I appreciate it and took your advice to heart, the rest of the trip to ABQ was more than uneventful. I owe you!
So I have internet here at home and was cruisin the FB and decided to check an old friends profile. I haven't seen or spoken to this person in MONTHS but just felt compelled to see how they were doing. They are alive, which is good. I think. jk No, it looked like they were just groovin' on with life as usual. Which I suppose is good cause I am as well, in fact life is awesome for me right now! But I was hoping for some piece of evidence that they maybe in anyway possible know that I existed and perhaps in some strange paralell universe, miss me. Terd and D this is not who you think it is, promise. Anyways, no sign what so ever, but at the same time, if there WAS some even miniscule piece of evidence of me in their life I would run far far far away, so why do I hope that I'm present there?
I think I want to know that they think of me just as much as I think of them, which is decreasing as a matter of fact, but still pops up occassionally, that is unavoidable. I can deal with it, and I finally have someone to talk to about it, but at the same time, no one can fully understand and empathize so I still feel like its my load to carry.Sing it Alanis, you know my life! Life goes on and I'm sure in another year this will be obsolete, of course I'm not that lucky haha, but one can always hope! Wow this sounds way more serious than it is. I'm just spittin' game here haha makin my brain some room to breathe is all :P
I read O's blog and got inspired,your brave girl, love ya! I should be more open with what I write, this is MY blog afterall! I plan on trying to blog more, writing makes me happy, and I ALWAYS have something to write about. Good times.
On another note, Mont si doing well and still writing, he has been gone for almost 4 months! Shoot! Joe and I are still close and hangin as usual with Dave, Scoggs, and the crew. School starts in another week and I will be busy but in completly in bliss, 26 credits boo ya! :P
Ok I feel better. Don't ask who I'm talkin about, cause if I wanted yout o know, I would tell ya! :D

Walk it Out.

So I started my aerobics class yesterday...lets just say the couple of women in my class have at least a good 50 years on me...each. Haha they were cute though! It was funny to watch them "brisk walk" whatever that is, and the teacher, well she is probably in her 40's and kicked that football tracks TRASH! I kept up with her the whole time, which made me feel good, but passing all the other ladies made my night eventful. I heard all sorts of great conversations everything from who was at the Temple that evening, to who kept their last names after the divorce (Scandal!), but I think the funniest was the flashbacks, "I haven't done this since 1960!" Oh my word! That was 30 years before I was even born haha But it was fun, it made me feel in shape thats for sure and they were all very nice...we did bleachers, and by we I mean the teacher and myself, the rest all had knee issues so they stuck to the track. Made my day. It truly was one of those times when you wish you were with a friend to totally crack up with. Oh! And the power music! Ha! The teacher, I think her name is Debbie, she had music which she had in the back ground in order to "Keep us movin!", yeah well little did the sweet sisters of the Mt.Graham Nearly Dead Ward know that that entailed Fergalicious, Grillz, and In Da Club amongst others hahaha that truly just did me in, I could not help but laugh as they looked at each other in complete despair and concern... "What is coming into my ears?!"
Tune in Tuesday for Class #2, hopefully it is just as entertaining!
