Wedding Bells!!!!!!!

It's official, I'M ENGAGED!!!!! :)



Ok, now time for the details since i know some of you are dying to hear them! ;)

After church, bret went home to change and then we came to mom's for some BBQ ribs... YUM!!! he brought his computer so he could work on his lesson, or at least thats what he told me...

anyways, well i decided i was gonna nap while he worked, so i passed out.. 3 hours later i wake up, i dont see him and so i texted him and he was all im in on the other couch working still... i said ok, went to investigate, and then got shooed away... and yes, i memorized what he said.. "Go back to sleep, you're gonna need it tomorrow. I'll come in there when I'm done, I'm almost done." haha.. right...

then like 20 minutes later, he CALLS me on the phone to go into the other room... THE OTHER ROOM!!!! lol

He wanted me to look over the powerpoint presentation aka slide show to make sure people could keep their interest, and since i'm the perfect test subject, it worked. I get to distracted easily lol.

Well he starts the slide show and the first thing i hear/see is "Then" by Brad Paisley, which we have declared out song.. us and most likely 500 other couples but hey, it works lol. Then the text "it all started with a phone call.." came up and then Sterling's picture and a picture of Sterling's phone lol then i got where it was going, and i think you all do to :) It went through our first date, six flags, utah trips, etc. totally cute! then right before it ended he was all "is that the time?!?" and i was like, ya... its 5:50ish why? "we were suppose to be at chris's to sign papers for the house at 5:30!" so i buy into him and we head out the door pretty fast. well, we get closer to the car, and he hands me a bag of M&M's that are all pink and white... i read the first one i could which said, "Kitty, marry me?" i turned around and kissed him and then he was all look, and i was like i read it! YES! and he was all no, look! and pointed to the seat(car door was opened for me) and i look down and on my seat is my ring!!!! then he verbally asked me with ring in my hand :) and of course i said yes!!!



So everyone, that's the big whole story! then we really did go over to Chris's house to sign papers, and right before i left i sent a email to as many people i could, then i got on facebook and then here, and ya... lol
The "BIG DAY!" is September 19th ish(depend on the Temple of course). The reason for it being so fast is because of my schooling/internship will be 10mos full time no breaks basically, and he didnt want to wait till march/april/may time to ask :)

So that's my BIG news!!!!! Love you all the same!
-the future Mrs. Bret Woodard :)

The Gift of Talents..

I decided that I would share my bordem, my beauty, and my talents with you all by posting these two videos. The first is titled 'Grandma's Garden'. It's a dedication to all Grandmothers, on Earth or in Heaven, and even yet to come. The second is the Mother's Day video I made mom, titled 'The Kids'; She cried, like normal. It was my first video, and I think I did very well on it, so I'm sharing it with you all.


(video is not really that long, i just couldn't make it stop... it ends at 4:53.. not 7whatever....)

Desert Banner Hospital

So, friday i went and got a barium swallow... never want one EVER again... i was fine that day, and even went to school... Saturday i went to my friend Tyra's wedding in St. Johns, which is seriously smaller than a walmart... no joke. well on the way home, my stomach/lower abdomen started to really hurt, i passed out because i hurt and i was really tired. we got home/back to brets round 3 or 4ish. church was at 9... bret stayed up most of the night working on his talk due that next morning. woke up, got ready for church/choir and ya.. it didnt hurt anymore, well... it did, but not much. choir was ok, but i hurt.. then i sat in the back during sacrament and thats when it started to hurt, a heck of a lot more... so after sacrament i went up to bret, trying not to cry mind you, and told him i needed to be taken home, now. so he took me and like 2 secs after he left, mom had me call him and tell him to come back and take me to either the ER or to urgent care. bret choose the ER after talking to Megs, a good friend of ours, she is a RN in PHX. Well we went to the WORST possible place ever, Desert Banner Hospital... went in at oh, 11am and got out round 10pmish... bret was with me basically the whole time, he left for a bit to sleep, which he didnt do really. the released me with a bacterial infection in a rather odd woman place(they were looking for a sisth on my ovaries... nuff said) and no explanation of the pain, at all, but i got vicoden for it...

then yesterday morning i woke up with massive pain, and they said if pain was worse go back, so when i got out of class i went back to desert banner, because i didnt learn the first time.. well i wat there with mom at 2pm, dad came round 4pm bret came round 6pm and vanessa came and stayed with me round 10pm. well, i wasnt allowed to eat or drink anything because the doctors ordered a NPO, which i actually understood, it translate into Nothing By Mouth... remember massive pain here.. so i got nothing for the pain, nothing to eat or drink, and i was dehydrated pretty bad... so round 730 maybe a bit later, this was after scott called and told me to yell at them, i finally got the courage, and poof, i got a liter bag of saline. :) still no pain meds though. so i was told that they were just waiting for a room to open up and to get me back, which finally happened round 1am. then the nurse gave my meds for vertigo, an inner ear imbalance which doesnt explain the pain i had AT ALL, but they treat dizziness. i was just fine, but in pain, and they made me dizzy and i wanted to puke, so they gave me stuff for that. then they sent me home! OK, i know their trying to do their job to the best of their ability, but to be honest, they forget who they are treating and just care about the number of PT's they can get in and out and where the decimal point on their check is. ER's are about helping people in an emergency situation. when a pt comes in, physician/pt relationship begins, and they have you sign papers saying you wont sue, but you can actually sure them, its all for something called malpractice and negligence.. man, going to school to be an MA REALLY helps you know what rights a patient has and what ones are violated in an ER. Ok, im done complaining, i feel really tired and i need sleep... so ya. i will keep you all informed to the best of my ability,

life updates itself

I know: I haven't been on for a while, nor have i posted ANYTHING! I'm sorry readers, life is pretty crazy as of late...

Car shopping with Bug's family, going to movies with TIffany and Marie, hanging out with Bret and Jenny, and of course going to school...

Well, today (at least so far) i had a grand adventure at the blood lab. my dr. wanted me to get some blood work done so i went today and everything was fine and dandy. no problems, until the lady pulled out the needle... she wanted to stick a huge needle in me, even after i said "a butterfly is going to be your best bet with my veins." did she listen?? nope! She stuck the needle in, no blood... weird, so she pushes it deeper, still no blood, but i felt a sharp pinch where she pushed with the needle. gets even better... then she starts to wiggle the needle around because no blood is coming out at all, and i close my eyes and say woah, because i suddenly got really dizzy and nauseated. i open my eyes to see her standing in front of me asking if i was ok because i was suddenly very very white. she puts the 'pass out' bar down to catch me if i should faint, which it totally felt like i was going to. that or puke... well she then takes the needle out of my arm puts the cotton ball on, and LEAVES THE ROOM! i was freezing, skin was tingling, extremely dizzy and i swear i was going to puke on that lady if she came back in. and when she did come in i had a hard time understanding what she was saying and it was just bad... the head guy helped her carry/lead me into another room to lay down, and i hear mom say something along the lines of thats my daughter for you. then she appears out of no where asking if i needed water, which i said yes to. after a while mom leaves and the head guy sticks me with a butterfly needle, gets the required blood, and talks to me to keep me up and awake and stuff. i felt so much better when he got the blood out. Me mom and tiffany agree, the lady went through my vein, so im gonna have a huge bruise on my arm, and i still have to go to school today... how evil... Bret was so cute about everything too, i told him of course. he was all are you sure your ok? lol i was home by that point so ya i was ok. he is such a sweetheart :)


ok, since my long distance relatives know basically nothing about Bret, i will finally spill the beans so to speak.

I met Bret through a friend of a friends cell phone lol. the power went out at school, actually everywhere in gila valley, and i knew no class that Wednesday but i still had this feeling to go to institute that night :) so i show up and i talk to dayna who is talking on Sterlings phone to bret. i think whatever im playing piano. so i go play and dayna comes in and starts playing messenger between me and bret, and then hands the phone to me. so i talk to him for like a half hour, mind you dayna had been talking to him for a good hour or so at this point. and i really like talking to him, and then dayna comes to steal the phone back and i just booked it. i didnt want to stop talking to him! it was really fun. he told me that if i was ever down in mesa that me and him should go on a date, at that point he didnt know i came from mesa lol. needless to say that friday i came home, went on a date, and ive been with him ever since. :) He is 24, hails from Provo Ut, only boy, has 2 sisters, Brittany(the olderst child then its Bret), Bethany and Brooke. his parents are so funny! and his grandma is a hoot! i really really like her! he has 2 nephews and his oldest sister just had the first granddaughter, and Brinley is soo cute! She has more hair than Kendal! I spent last weekend in Utah with Bret in Provo. We even went to the Qurriah Mountain Temple open house. it was so beautiful! His nephew Brayden looks exactly like Chris when he was 6, its pretty scary lol. but Brayden was so shocked to see me, he was very happy too. he told Brittany(his mom) that i didnt have a cat face, he liked that lol he is also so strong, and he freely gave me a hug goodbye, it was so cute! and Torrin is just aww.. Torrin is way cute for a 3yr old! he acts like nathan and emma combined, a wheenie towards strangers, but will play with you and act like they love you instantly. its way cute.
I spent basically every day since April 15th with bret... or at least on the phone with him... and the kids all love him, bailey is the funniest so far though, she talks about bret all the time, but when he is here, she is so shy!!!!! its cute. and sara is so mean! Amber, your daughter WILLINGLY went to bret.. twice... she came to me.... once... whats up with that? and when you put ren and bret in the same room, jodi can contest to this, they quote movies, family guy, simpsons, and especially Jeff Dunham and Bill Engvill... they dont shut up!!!! but its still fun to finally have someone that al my siblings, all the grandkids, and parents to like a lot. i love this boy. he is so amazing :) i always laugh or smile with him, im hardly ever sad, and watching the movie UP so does count for him making me cry ;) sad, but very very funny movie, i really liked it!
blah, here i go again talking about my boy.. hehe. i need to go to class, so i will update more when i can :)
