Making good memories and more to come!

Chan was so sweet to take me to the formal dance after his game this last Sat. We contemplated on going ... but we thought "Ah Why not." So we went for a few minutes! It kinda reminded me of H.S. days but we really had alot of fun!

He was totally getting into it with me, the whole formal dress up and dance energy and dancing to every song! He made me a very happy girl! ;) I had a great time with him!

Every lil thing we do together and go we get so much closer! Its amazing what our relationship has developed into! We shared a few great laughs!

Chan looked SO handsome! Mmmm!

Here is Jesi and I getting crazy! (k- don't ask what I'm doing)

Fun night! More things like this to look forward too with Chan! We are spontaneous and Random like that! :) I love it!

Another successful wknd!

Chan and his team had some of their best and exciting games of the season! For one it was sophomore night- They recognised all of the Sophomores, that was neat! They played against SLCC and the outcome was AWESOME!!

Chan played really well!
Here's what reporters had to say...

Emery’s Chandler Pearson play’s a monster role in the late stages of the regulation play and in the overtime period. His defense was amazing and at the key deciding moments he came up with huge rebounds, he shoots 2/2 three pointers and ends up with 6 points.

;) Simply amazing!

Chandler scored 11 points the second night!

After the game the crowd went a lil crazy and some of the players jumped on the stats desk dancin! Pretty crazy! The boys are now on their way to Coeur D'Alene ID again.. for their tournament. I feel bad Chan has another 16 hour bus ride up there! Wish them luck! I hope they do well! I wish I could be there! We'll keep ya posted!

farewell...

Chandler came down Sat. night late. The next morning we went to church in Cedar to my elderly cousins farewell. They are going to New York South Mission... Chan's SAME mission. So that was cool for him to come with me. He was able to chat to them and share a few stories with them! This pic is of he and I with my 92 yr. old grandma after church sitting on my grandma's new swing at my house! It was so bright outside ;) Chana nd I went to a house on the parade of homes.. (pics to come- it was AWESOME!!!!!!!!) Great to have Chan in St. G for a day! Miss him much!!

Oh.... and I managed to clean....

....my ring today too! ;) This is for the few people that have asked me to post a pic of my ring so they could see it!

The pics don't show the greatest detail... but you get the idea!

I sure am well taken care of! Chan did an EXCELLENT job! I cant stop looking at it;)

Better yet I cant stop thinking about how lucky I am to have met Chan and to have things work out the way they have in the past three yrs! I really am so blessed to have him in my life! We are getting so eager and excited! It is not coming fast enough!

Outta the house... for only 5 min!

I should have taken a before picture too but my car was so so so dirty from driving it up to Provo a wk a go in the snow and I have neglected it! You couldn't even tell it was white! I washed it today- I am so proud! ONLY because I was able to get out of the house after 4 days and drive alil with my neck pains! ;) see how bored I get with the random posts'!

Chan is on is way to warm St. George tonight!!! I am so happy! We wanted to go to the movie Taken... has anyone seen it yet!?

A bump on a log... or two!

This Journal entry is more so for me than anyone else as far as it be educating haha... As for being in the skin care industry and having to learn all the muscles and anatomy of the face and body and think you'll never use it as an esthetician well now that I understand the gibberish talk from many Dr.'s and caretakers who have seen me in the past three days... Its fascinating to me!

So these last few days I have been laying in bed and can hardly move! I woke up Wed morning with excruciating neck pains and could not hold my own head up or move my neck. I have no idea what I had done... The pain was/is so bad we didnt know if it was something Neuro and that I go to the ER or just a horrible muscle spasm. It feels okay to only hold my neck to the left and kinda rest it on my shoulder. Needless to say...yes I have been walking around with my left shoulder carrying my head(literally). I went into see my chiropractor and he had seen nothing like it. But He diagnosed me with spasmodic torticollis. He treated me with some great things, lasers, ultra sound, and two other machines with great technology. (that's beyond me)
wikiedia's def.
{Spasmodic torticollis is a chronic neurological movement disorder causing the neck to involuntarily turn to the left, right, upwards, and/or downwards. The condition is also referred to as "cervical dystonia". Both agonist and antagonist muscle contract simultaneously during dystonic movement. [1] Causes of the disorder are predominantly idiopathic, a small number of patients develop the disorder as a result of another disorder or disease. Most patients first experience symptoms midlife. The most common treatment for spasmodic torticollis is the use of botulinum toxin type A.}

I don't think its a permanent life disorder for me... but who knows it can come back!

AHHH! Botox!! Why didn't I think of that sooner! (Botulinum toxin is Botox) I've had it in my forehead to paralyze my frown muscles and forehead wrinkles, working with plastic surgeons they use it all the time to release pain for patients, especially migraines!!

We don't know the exact cause of why this happened but some things that can trigger it is
*Stress
*Anxiety
*Tension
*Muscle strain
*Spasm

MMmm kinda Ironic that most of these are present in my life ;) But we all think it was tension and muscle strain from my work. Doing nails, pedicures, facials, and eyelash extensions for hours at a time holding my head in one position is no bueno!!

My mom takes such good care of me! She got me right in to my Chiro on Wed. I waited out yesterday.. still major pain... today she got a pain management doctor to come over for a home call for me and he gave me some pain meds and patches that help release muscles, and she got me right in a massage therapy session done strictly on my neck- she was amazing!! She could not believe what she felt and she released horrendous amounts of tension, tightness, and PAIN! She used alot of essenticial oils like rosemary that is supposed to realease muscles, with a lil bit of arnica too! I feel so much better but still not the same. Healing time is supposed to still take a wk! ERR! I love sleep and my bed but I have never been so bored and sick of my bed! My mom is awesome in a crisis!

It sure makes me grateful for my health and makes me feel blessed when I can move normally. I have never taken my "feel good" and health for granted but after times like these.. geeze I sure love my mobile body when I wake up everyday and go on with my day! It makes me feel so lucky to have such a wonderful mother who cares for me, people like my Chiro, Alex(Dr.), and my massage therapist who all have concerns. Not to mention my other friends and family! ;)

And after many many shedded tears my
Lesson learned:
I had no idea one or two muscles could cause so much pain to where I am ill and disabled!! I work in spa's to take care of people and make them feel good! But I have to take time for myself at least once a wk to make sure my muscles are where they should be and doing what they should be! Or else I wont be an Aesthetician for long!

AND

Chandler... too, poor guy! He doesnt tell me in detail exactly what he's feeling but He has had it bad too! He has been miserable the past few days! Before we went to Idaho he had a bad cold then he got that under control. Well on our way home he got hit with it hard again and MORE some... His Lungs, his throat, his breathing, his head, his nose and body has been bothering him! He was able to rest from practice so that was good. He got on some antibiotics as well. His Throat and lungs have been killing him and he's not sure exactly what the deal is... He has been sleeping a ton..thats so good his body needs it, especially with this unknown sickness and his sore body with these last few games in Basketball! He coughs alot alot. When he runs in the gym he feels horrible! Chest pains and lungs hurting is not good... it worries me! Hopefully he can heal as well! I'm beginning to think that its a good thing we aren't married quite yet I don't know who would take care of who at this point;) jk We'd be fine!

He has a game tonight!!!! We will see how he does!!!! GO CEU!!! Love you babe!

My 1ST time to Idaho!!!

Wow! Where to begin.... Okay so Last Monday Chan and I met in Provo to hang out and go to the UVU basketball game. We had alot of fun! The following day we decided to celebrate Valentines Day since we were going to be in Idaho on Valentines Day and to also Make it so his birthday was the only thing we would recognize on Feb 14th! So on Tuesday Chan took me to Tucanos and we had a nice dinner together. He is so sweet he had found and made the best gift for me. Being as though my jewelry is scattered everywhere, he bought me the cutest Jewelry box that hangs on the wall like one big giant picture frame. It swings open and holds jewelry inside... He had taken alot of our engagement photos and fit them perfectly in the spaces! He had it done up and layed out all cute. He totally surprised me and I LOVE IT!! Now my jewelry is all in order!

I am devastated.... I lost my camera... I am sick over it.. so the next few pictures are going to have to do... they are off of our cell phones! ;( Here is a pic of my jewelry picture frame box hanging on the wall!

So for Christmas one thing Kaylene bought me was a plane ticket to watch Chandler play in Coeur D'alene Idaho. But also part of HIS Birthday gift for him to also be with me his birthday! From Christmas til now I could hardly wait til his games in Northern Idaho. I flew up there with his parents and met Chan and the basketball teams at the hotel on Thursday. He had his games Fri and Sat night... The boys played so so hard and played well! CEU and NIC Both being Great teams they were very close games! Again all I have for pics is my cell! Here's Chan on court!






Friday night Meag, Kasey, and I wanted to decorate Aaron, Chris, and Chan's Hotel room for Valentines Day. We did it a day early so they could enjoy it alittle while they were there! We had fun being silly making ...well...practically a mess. Not the best picture but we had a hundred lil hearts on walls, confetti everywhere, conversational hearts, poster board love note, and notes inside balloons!

Chan's parents also made it so fun for me and for every team player. Kaylene got into it with delivering fun candies and valentines to each and every team players hotel door! So cute!





Chan and I at some Redneck restaurant...lol...jk but this restaurant had every animal you could imagine on walls and on display, beaver, birds, moose, dear, fish, racoons, fox, bear, elk, buffalo and much more... Kinda weirded me out.. Chan was enjoying quizes me on every animal... I think I did pretty good ;) OH OH OH and I tried alligator for the first time! I usually hate that kinda stuff but Im always open to try new things! It was not bad at all... "taste like chiken ;)"




So this is the famous couch!! We stayed at a Sleep Inn hotel. This couch is in the lobby. The Hotel took excellent care of us! When we got there they had CEU posters and stickers on their front hotel doors that said "Good Luck" everywhere and "Welcome back Utah!" Everything for CEU...So thoughtful of the hotel...Being as though this is CEU's 3rd time at this hotel playing against NIC, they were cheering for us!

Chan and I on His birthday and V-day after the game Saturday night!

Aaron, Meagan, Rachel, Me, and Chan again after the games against NIC and we were on our way to Outback for Chan's birthday dinner! We were all excited because the girls Ball team and Boys Team had to get back on the bus soon after game to head 16 hours back to Utah and we all had plane tickets to go home the following night!

Chan and I today coming home from Coeur D'alene! Our first time on the plane together! It was a crazy and intense Basketball game weekend! But so so much fun and such a joy to be able to be there to support him and to spend time with him on His birthday weekend!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHANDLER, I LOVE YOU SO SO MUCH! I am so grateful for our fun times with one another! Muah!

The Poor boys....

Yes! I am talking about Colorado Northwestern Community College Boys... the poor guys got their butts kicked! They traveled down to Price to play two games with CEU and it was a Sad day... or two for CNCC... Almost embarassing! I was not able to be there and see for myself but Friday nights game went a lil like this.....

CNCC came out on fire in the beginning and hit multiple threes to take an early lead. CEU came right back on good defense and hit three pointers of their own and CNCC didnt match. It seems that all of CNCCs energy was down to let CEU score wherever they could on court. In the 2nd Half no Contest as the CNCC team put up little effort and the CEU team cruised. Aaron scored 16 points. Another strong point was rebounding that night as CEU grabbed 52 to CNCC 28 rebounds. FINAL SCORE CEU 108 CNCC 71

On Sat night.

It was a great start for Chan's team as they jumped out quickly to a 10-0 run. Chandler had 10 defensive rebounds and 4 assists in the 1st half. In the 2nd Half Almost too easy for the team as they kept focus the entire second half and won with one of the largest point differences in conference game, they won by 50. The defense was aggressive as the CNCC team only made 18/61 from the field. Chan scored 12 points and had 13 rebounds for a monster double/double ;)and still found time to contribute 6 assists. This win keeps CEU in second place in the conference following the undefeated Salt Lake team. . FINAL SCORE CEU 94 CNCC 44
Chan got to talk a little bit with the Alaska coach that was there to watch him!

Awesome Job Chan!!!! I love you!!

Still a lil chilly outside

Its a good thing I love blogging because even when nothing happens I find something to post ;)

Unfortunately I stayed home this weekend and missed out on watching CEU play basketball against Colorado Northwestern CC! But I stayed in St G and I worked and worked... Okay and I found a lil extra time last nit and I was able to meet up with a photographer and do a photo shoot. I realized it has been over a yr. since I have committed to a shoot. It was fun to go to last min. yesterday. I had no idea what look I was going for until I pulled up to this old horse corral...so we went a lil country.

Wedding Showcase!

So this last wknd I finally feel like I am getting stuff done and people are getting into it with me to plan this wedding and make it happen! On Sat. I went to the big bridal fair with my mom and my two sisters! I already have the reception center, the dj, the videographer, the photographer, and most of our decorations but we still had alot of fun going and seeing whats the newest and hottest! Here are a few fun pictures!

This is a bouquet that I liked! But I still have my own idea for one! ;)


I loved this booth it was done up really cute for photography....

Fun cakes! Interesting ideas people have!

Now I really LOVED this booth and this photographers work! He is a great photographer! Sometimes its hard to choose ... but a photo is a photo right? HAha

I love these big tall centerpieces that go over the whole table! Beautiful! Gotta love Tai Pan! You find everything there ;)

The next evening I met with my mom and sister's and Zeke again to really plan this out and get the ideas put together and deligate the jobs! I am so overwhelmed and stressed but I am so lucky to have my siblings just take care of most of the reception, decorations and setup! They are doing it all! It is going to turn out awesome, I am so excited and cant wait to see it! Its nice to know that they have their check off lists of lil jobs they are in charge of! Yesterday we went up to The Ledges Golf course and drew everything out! Weddings are crazy!

Wknd on the road!!

This weekend I was able to travel up to Salt Lake to watch Chandlers games against SLCC and SNOW. Unfortunately the outcome of Fri nights game againt SLCC was not what we wanted! SLCC Led the whole game from 17 to 2 point and in between. CEU was down 9 points with 10 min left in the game. Then with 6 min left in the game Chandler gets a 3pt shot up with leaving SLCC with only a 1pt lead. Chandler led the team with 16 pts. There were of course, some questionable official calls...what can ya do? Chan played the majority of the game. He had some awesome shots! We love those 3 pointerz! (More action shots to come of these shots, Thanks to Dan and Steph) He played so tough! I love watching him give it his all. Poor guy plays hard and continues to do his best even when his body is sore... Final score CEU 67- SLCC 72

Chan had alot of family and friend support in SLC! Chan had his parents, grandma Bea, Aunt, Uncle, cousins, siblings, more cousins, and close friends. I had 15 people from my family come out too, to watch him play! It was great to see everyone! We had an awesome group. Thank you so much for coming to his game!

Here are a few of my cousins: Cody, the twins: Luke and Stephen!! They Cheered for Chan!!

Here's Lukey looking a bit concerned on the game ;)

My sister Desiree, her husband, Zeke, and his bro and his wife came out too!! (a few of Chans fam in the back as well, Cousin Ash, Aunt Gaylene)

And here we have my cousin Chris and Kayla, and Kim, holding Drew and Olivia

Now Sat nights game against Snow in Ephriam was I-N-T-E-N-S-E!! SNOW started out with a 7pt lead. CEU came around and tied 7-7. Chan hits his first 3pt-er giving us the lead 15-13. At half-time it was Snow 36- to Ceu 33. In the 2nd half Snow was in a lil bit of foul trouble with 11 min left. CEU came back up strong. We had an Awesome slam dunk by Nick! At a min and 52 seconds left we were tied 59- 59. Chan took the winning shot with a 3 PT LEAD!! So Close! CEU 64- Snow 63. It was fun and crazy!

After the game we went and relaxed and had dinner at a pizza/pasta place there in Ephriam with Chan's family! Here are a few pics!

Oh this is just me hanging with the baller girls trying to be cool ;) Me, Meag, Rachel, and Brandi

Okay so Chan might not appreciate this but I had to blog this!! I was trying to do a lil bit of Homework back at his house on Sunday and he had his legs laying across me and I thought I was funny to draw a lil flower on him. He didnt wrestle back with me to stop, he acted as though it was a bit ticklish. So I kept drawing, and drawing, and drawing. I know I am so mature but I was having so much fun...more so the fact that Chan did NOT care at all as he was watching his sports. I thought he was being so cute just to simply let me do this. I was having fun drawing lil pictures and writing my name! I eventually ran out of space and things to draw. It was fun helping him try to get it off! Its lil things like this that I love about Chan he is SO easy going, he lets me do my crazy things ;) My fiance is so dang sweet! I love you Chan!
