Life, Love and Death
On June 28th about 9:30 AM, Nate's Mother passed away. We are sad and miss her a lot, but to me it is strange how after only one month of marrage, we get to go through another one of lifes events. There is a lot to say, but time does not permit. I will write later.

10 days...
In ten days I will become Mrs. Carrie Evans!!!! (OK really 11 days but I don't count today, because I am all ready in it, and I am glad that work is over.)
So, I have to tell a little about why today is one day that I am glad to have over...I work at a daycare, and that is fun in the summer because I get paid to watch kids at the park, and I get to spend all day outside. Today however is the day that I drive the biggest goober mobile you have ever seen in the form of a thirteen passenger van... I also got to take kids to the free lunch offered at a church. So, there were a few things that happened today that made the park not so much fun.
1. One child decided not to listen after the fifth time of telling them that they can't go that far away form teachers...and then the attitude started.
2. One child decided that her life is like T.V. and she wanted to copy the Capri sun commercial and jump on her Capri sun and see if she too would turn into water?!?!!? Sad to crush her dreams, but she did in fact NOT become the puddle of water that she hoped to be. She then became my shadow, instead of a puddle.
3. One child forgot their lunch and didn't tell me until I got to the park after the free lunch was over, and refused to eat anything that was offered to them....picky eaters get to go hungry when good food is offered.
4. One child decided to throw rocks at a friend, and instead of listening in time-out, they decided to pick the grass, pick mushrooms, and pick up dirty bird feathers.... after the time-out ended we had a pretty serious discussion about germs, and being sick in the hospital.
5. So, after the 5Th call to Denise, my immediate boss, and the daycare to talk to the upper level boss to decide what should be done, I had to call one more time, because a child PUKED!!
Needless to say, I am glad that work is over and that I only have 10, let's say that again...10, Ten, Dies, Days left before I am married!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but who is counting any way.

All because 2 people fell in love
Last Thursday, the 14th, Nate calls me and said that he was craving stake and wanted to take me to sizzler. I said, "ok! steak sounds good, and then i don't have to cook." Then he tried to drive me to "our spot" (the hill that he took me to the night we first met) but, our spot, was dug up and we couldn't get there....so we drove to the other side of town, to find a spot to watch the sun set, and then we drove south of town to the forest preserve...and we still couldn't find a road that was open... strike 5, we went back to almost the original spot. By that time I had to pee... so I found a bush, (and so did he) and we were hugging. By this time I kind of had the idea that he would propose, but I was still happy to just be with Nate. When Nate said to me that he could spend forever with me, I knew that it was true...and then he asked me to marry him. I said yes!!
We are looking at the 27th of June....and in Rexburg, (not our 1st choice...) for the wedding. So, if you can make it that would be great!!!! Just, let me know, and we will feed you at the rockin party!!! Oh, the ring is not the official ring...because neither of us really have money, but the ring will work for now. And just think...all of this will happen and has happened, just because 2 people fell in love.
Pay it forward
Thanks to Emily, and my sister Kaye I have something new to distract me from what I really should be doing....sorry dishes...a little blog game called "Pay it forward."
How it works: The FIRST THREE people to leave a comment on this post will receive at some point during this year a gift from ME. What it will be and when it will arrive will be a total surprise. The CATCH is that YOU MUST PLAY TOO! Before you leave your comment here, write a pay it forward post on your blog to keep the fun going (you can cut and paste these instructions). Then come back and let me know that you are going to play, and sit back and anticipate the arrival of your gift. Oh, and your address too...
