Holy, Life Update, Batman!

It's been a minute since I have written anything. Not for lack of trying. I have sat down at my keyboard countless times, trying to think of a way to accurately sum up the events that have occurred in my life recently, and haven't come up with the words. I have finally decided to jump the gun and make an attempt. Hopefully I can come up with even the slightest description of events, however, I am sure the amount of emotion I have in my body will not be able to find its way on this page. I know it's cliche to say "You had to be there" but.. I mean, you had to be there. So, you'll just have to take my word for it. The last time a wrote was new years eve. A LOT has happened in these last 7 months. I'll try to explain everything. We will start with February, in particular the week of Valentines Day. All week I knew something was up. Hunter was being sneaky, and we have ALWAYS had a very open book type of relationship. We tell each other LITERALLY everything. So, when I asked him what we were doing for Valentines Day and he told me "You'll just have to wait and see." I knew immediately that I had better find a stellar outfit, get my nails done, color my hair, and most importantly find a waterproof mascara. Because any girl in a serious relationship, that has involved discussion of being married soon, KNOWS what that sort of statement means. However, me, being the nosy, need-to-know-now, type of girl I am, I bugged him into admitting to me that's what was going to happen. So here I am, planning on Valentines Day to be "The Day", Hunter, however, had other plans. 3 Days before Valentines Day he said, "So I know we are planning on doing things for Valentines Day, but would you also like to go on a date tonight?" I was ecstatic to spend some much needed alone time with my sweetheart. We were just going to go to sushi and a movie. I threw on a nice outfit. Keep in mind, I was just planning on sushi and a movie, so I didn't throw on the fancy outfit I had picked out for Valentines Day. Thank HEAVENS I had gotten my nails done that day. When he showed up to get me any slight idea I had about getting engaged that day disappeared because he was just wearing a button up and a hoodie, so I thought "There's no way, I feel like he'd have his hair done for pictures" Boy, did he throw me off! We drove to The Riverwoods--Happy sumo is our typical sushi spot--and we got out of the car, he was very smiley, and held my hand, I noticed he was texting someone, but didn't really think much of it. As we approached the middle of The Riverwoods, where the gazebo is, I thought I saw his sister, but immediately told myself there was no way. Suddenly, I felt him pull me towards he gazebo. I was confused "what are you doing?" I kept asking, he wouldn't tell me. We walked up to the middle of the gazebo, and he had the biggest cheesiest grin on his face, he grabbed both of my hands and looked me in the eyes "Okay, so, I've loved you since the day that I met you, and I want to spend forever with you." he then got down on one knee and I let out some profanities. "Shay, will you marry me?" I began to cry, still letting out profanities, I couldn't get a yes out over the profanities, so I just nodded and pulled him up for a hug. His sister had been taking pictures and filming the whole thing. We got a couple of pictures, and then went to dinner. I couldn't handle going to a movie since I was so excited, so we spent the rest of the night telling our friends and family. It was perfect. Even with me knowing, he still managed to surprise me. It was pure magic. The next big thing that happened was that I unexpectedly moved into the Leslie's house. I won't go into to much detail about that, because I don't like to talk about it. But, it was definitely unexpected. After that, Hunter, our friend Joe, Joe's brother, and I went to see Coheed and Cambria, I the mighty, Silversnakes, and Glassjaw at the Complex in Salt Lake, that concert was AMAZING. Coheed and I, the Mighty in particular. We hated Glassjaw... but that's irrelevant. In April, I decided to look into going back to school. Within a week, I found a school, enrolled and started. It all happened so fast. Also sometime around April I started forming a new group of friends consisting of Hunter, Joe, my Cousin Rob, Hunter's brother Trevin, and around May-ish my friend Jayce, who I knew in St. George, moved up here and began hanging out with us. and thus a squad was born. I have never had a group of friends who have been as amazing and fiercely loyal as these guys. I absolutely love them to death and don't know what my life would be like without them. The Dentist I worked for down in Richfield bought a practice up here, and called me, and I started working again. Which was crazy and unexpected, but exciting!(: Feb-June was mostly wedding planning, school, and work. I got CRAZY stressed out. It became a LOT really fast, and I had some major mental breakdowns, but we worked through them all. My sister-in-law Makaela, had a baby shower for my nephew Ollie, and the following week, I had a bridal shower. lots of showering, ya'all. I turned 22 on June 9th, I got to celebrate on the 10th with my friends and family. It was a lot of fun. Then, On June 25th, at 4 in the morning, my sister in law gave birth to my amazingly adorable nephew Oliver Michael Markham. He is basically the best wedding gift I could have ever asked for, because Hunt and I got married at the Leslie's house later that day, my Mother-in-law Soya, was AMAZING and planned/pulled together EVERYTHING. It was BEAUTIFUL. We had such an amazing and memorable day. I'm just super happy to be married to my high school sweetheart and best friend. (: We spent a week-long honeymoon in California and it was incredible. I got a kidney infection the following week and ended up spending 4 days in the hospital. It was crazy, and awful and I am so glad that it is over. That's about all I can think of for now. I'm going to try and do better at updating my blog again. Until something else happens or I come up with something incredibly witty or thoughtful to talk about, I'll let ya'all get back to whatever it is you are doing. As for me, I'm going to go take care of my cute husband who just had his wisdom teeth out today! LOVE YOU ALL!
