Anyhow, about two weeks after he got home, Tyler, me, and my two friends, Ryan and Kimi, all went to California.  We spent a day in Disney’s California Adventure, then a day with my brother Rob and his cute wife Ali, then a day at Magic Mountian (6 Flags), and a day at Disney Land.  Well we were all having so much fun.

On Aug. 12th, we spent the day in Disneyland.  Toward the end of the day we went and got fast passes for Space Mountain that weren’t good until about 9 o’clock.  So to pass time a little faster and save a little money we left the park and went to Taco Bell for dinner.  When we got back, we decided to run to California Adventure to ride the Tower of Terror one last time.  Don’t worry it was worth it.  Then Kimi and Ryan wanted to run to Screamin’ California, but the line was huge!  So they went on the Maliboomer.  After that we ran around the back of the park because the electric parade had just started.  We ran as fast as we could so we would make it back to ride Space Mountain and still make it back to see the fireworks.  So as we were entering the park, Kimi and I just wanted to window shop a bit and then relax and watch the fireworks.  Well Ryan and Tyler kept saying lets just go on Space Mountain, we already have the fast passes, let’s just go.  So Kimi and I still protested.  When we reached the point that we had to decided to turn and go to Space Mountain or go straight to the Castle, Tyler grabbed my hand and pulled me and said lets just go.  Ryan said, well nevermind, have fun, we’re going to the Castle.  I was pretty ticked at the point.  I kept saying why are we still going on Space Mountain, why don’t we just go with Kimi and Ryan.   My feet were hurting pretty bad at this point and I just wanted to sit down, but nope we had to go to Space Mountain.  After we rode Space Mountain, I had cheered up quite a bit, then the fireworks started.  Tyler told me to walk fast so we could make it to the Castle, so i did.  We went to the back of the Castle and watched the end of the fireworks, when it got over, I called ryan and he told me he would come meet us in the back.  Tyler got a little wierd and said, well i’ll call him and just double check, but when he called he told Ryan that we would just meet him in the front.  So we walked up front and we saw them walking the opposite direction and they yelled to us, We’re going to buy a picture frame.  I was done and just wanted to sit, so i said fine and we walked to the front.  I was a little cold, so tyler gave me a hug to warm me up, then he pulled away and got down on his knees.  I was not expecting him to propose right then, But he said, Melanie, I love you with all my heart, will you marry me?  Of course I said yes and started crying.  It was pretty cute.

So that is it, now we are planning a wedding and we are getting married in the Bountiful Utah temple on the 22nd of November and having our reception in Highland on the 29th.

So this last weekend the people from deal or no deal came to Utah to get some applicants.  My sisters, My mom and I all woke up, I wouldn’t say early, but for a Saturday morning it was pretty early.  We started filling out the contestant application forms and then headed up to Salt Lake.  We rode trax and as we got closer to SLC we were able to see RC Willey, which is where they were doing the screening.  We saw the huge line and rachel decided to shout, “Holy Crap” Everyone on Trax gave us the funniest looks ever!  It was great.  So we got off and went down the road to RC Willey and the line just kept going.  The parking lot at RC Willey was just a mess of people everywhere!  Then the line continued down the street and around the corner of West Temple and then around the corner again.  It was insane.  By the time we got to the end of the line all four of us were just laughing because it was just slightly rediculous.  We stood in line for an hour and only made it a fourth of a mile and decided that with the estimated wait of 12 hours and gross bathrooms and no food, we left and decided to go shoe shopping.  We first had to get some food, as we were driving down the road thinking of places to eat, well my mom said something super funny.  I think if I told that story she might kill me though!  ha ha.  We went to Coasta Vida for lunch and then went and bought shoes.  Between the four of us we bought nine pairs of shoes!  Don’t worry though, I only bought one pair.  It was a fun day.  And then that night to top it off, I went to a wedding reception and then watched August Rush, which is such an amazing movie.  I was super impressed.  It was such a good saturday! 

So there are very few things I get super excited about and Lost is definitely one of them.  Wednesday night I think to myself… hmm Tomorrow is Lost.  I know that I will not do any homework because I simply cannot concentrate long enough to be effective.  I have work all Thursday and because work on Thursdays are generally slow, the last two hours or so just seem to drag on.  As closing time approaches I get so excited.  I’m sure it doesn’t help that my friend texts me early in the day saying “Lost?!” It is a great way to start the day out by thinking about Lost. 

So this last week I was studying like mad for this history test.  Monday when we had our review for it my professor told us that we would need to buy a Blue Book and we might even have to buy two because in the past she has had students use more than one.  Well Wednesday, I studied all day for that test and still had the worst test anxiety I have ever had! So finally I just went and took the test.  I bought the large Blue Book and probably filled most of it and it took me almost two hours.  As I sat with my friend in class on friday, we listened to other people in class talk about the test.  Some people took four hours on that test!  That is like driving to Idaho!  I don’t understand how and why someone would want to sit in the testing center that long.  All I’m saying is that teachers should be happy with quality and content rather than length!
