VIP

I saw this on another blog and thought it would be fun to do one for myself. This is an all-about-me in the format of an elementary school VIP poster- including pictures where the students would put them. Oh, and it might be because I've been up all night, but the thought of being the VIP made me think of a song my mom used to sing. Weird. Anyway:

5 hours ago I was ... turning patients, checking a blood sugar, settling someone into bed, taking vitals, and deciding what to eat for dinner

Developments

Well, I have a lot to say and not sure how to say it. I could play a mean joke and tell you all that we broke up, but I won't do that cause I'm just so happy. :)

Steve was acting a little weird yesterday about making plans for last night. He went to priesthood with my dad and brother and then went out to dinner with them. He wanted to take me to dinner but my mom talked him into going with the boys so he could be part of the family tradition. After he got back he told me that he wanted to go take a walk on temple square or at a park somewhere, so despite it being freaking cold we trekked it up to temple square.

We were walking around and he told me that he wanted to show me his favorite spot on temple square. So, we walked over and sat on a bench. I, of course, had to ruin the moment by complaining that my bum was frozen cause the bench was cold. Before I could get up and walk away, though, he dropped down to one knee and pulled out the ring box. He opened it up and before he could even get any words out I burst into tears. I think he got a little emotional too, but I was so mesmerized by the sparkle that I'm not sure. He looked me in the eyes and said, "Annicka, I love you. I want to spend eternity with you. Will you be my wife?"

I, of course, said yes.

And now, my lovely readers, some pictures...
