ThanksGiving with the Wildes

The Wildes have it right because they celebrate Thanksgiving on the Friday so that can have everyone there.



Mom and I are matching instead of Michael and me matching.  Michael doesn't really have purple; he does however have pink.



Annalisa is sitting at the table with Maria, Bethany, Hannah, and Abby.  However, I couldn't get all of them on the camera at the same time and Abby did not want her picture taken. . .So who knows what she looks like.



Maria and James



Michael and James; George was too good for us.

ThanksGiving with the West




Thanks Giving Day.  We were at Franklin Family's house.  All of Their family was there, Mom and Dad, Buffy and Tim with their family, Tony and Heidi with their baby made it up, and James and Charity with baby, I and Michael, and George were always here.




There was Lots of Eating, Talking, and Catching up.  So a lot of photos here.

Now we had to have the Big Game.  However, I was playing in the Big Game consequently did not take any pictures, but I did get some pictures of more practicing.

Thanks Giving Prep

So everyone knows that Thanksgiving really starts on the Wednesday with the cooking. While my family was here we had thanksgiving with the Franklin West Family like good old days when Both Families were both back east.


Michael and I arriving at Uncle's Franklin's. Prepared to help cook and practice for the big game!

Eleanor Has the right idea. You know you always have to eat something while you cook. Why not an Oreo?


As said before, you also have to practice for the BIG GAME. However, These football pictures are funny when there is not football



This one actually does have a Football in it. But it still kinda funny.

Eleanor and Uncle Franklin watching the practice.

Through a series of lies. . .

Michael got me to a place where he could propose without me suspecting it, which is what he wanted. There were a lot of little lies involved but I'll just tell the general story; if you want a full story you'll just have to Ask later. Anyways, he got me to the Provo temple where we were to wait for his brother, Zach, to come out from doing baptisms for the dead. So we sat on a bench by the fountain waiting, just talking and having a good time. I thought we were waiting for a very long time; it should not have taken that long for Zach to come out. However, he was not going to come out the temple doors. He, however, did come along with 3 of Michael's Friends from behind us; Each carrying 3 dozen and placed them around us.


Then Michael went down on one knee. I was not expecting it. I knew he was going to propose to me some time in August, but I was not Expecting it then or there. I was so off guard that I actually said "You got to be Kidding me". He proposed the 5 of August, 4 months after he said the first "I love you".
I've been told that he has had the idea of the 144 roses for a long time, well ever since he saw the Family Matters episode where Steve proposed to Laura with 144 roses.



And with that story we will now have roses at our wedding. My good friend Amy is making the boutonnieres and corsages. And here are some examples of how they may look like.

Halloween


So I'm pretty bad photographer. But I like looking at pictures, so I take them. I don't really pose people, I just point the camera and take the pictures. Consequently, There are no real good pictures of Michael's and mine Halloween costumes.



Michael was Picatu (or Pikachu, I don't really know the internet has both. And quite frankly I don't really know Pokemon that well) again.


My roommates decided that we should all go as the four seasons. So I was "Summer". We were going to take a picture of all four of us together, but we were never all home, dressed and doing nothing to get us all in one small area and take a picture. However someone did take a picture of Amy "Spring". And she did it correctly.



I also had some glitter on my face but mine was green.
