Blast to the Past

Okay, really? Lets be honest. It's not technically a blast to the past. More like the happenings of 2011.

Blast to the past just sounded really cool.

I kinda hate these things because I'm not a good journalist so...I have to scrap things from my memory. (Thank heavens my mom is good at journaling AND blogging. (: )

Not gonna lie though, this year has been VERY eventful. And probably one of the best of my life.

(I just thought this was awesome. FB post)

"Don't tell me the sky is the limit when there are footprints on the moon."

I love this. So inspirational. Especially for 2012's resolutions.

Grandpa Seeg on Christmas 2010

Came home from a friends house to hear my mom sobbing. One of the best men I know on this earth passed away. He was my hero in every way. Always was telling me how beautiful I was and how lucky the guy I was going to marry was. Always boosting the self-esteem. Always giving to others. Always just doing everything. He missed the wedding to tell Ty how lucky he was. But its okay, he was there in his own way. <3

Last SAD(singles awareness day)....ever. Don't worry, I'm SO not mad about it. (:

March 5-6 2011:

Kinda had the time of my life. Literally. Sang the National Anthem at the Jazz game, and then got to watch my first pro(ish) bball game! And then, I kinda got to party it up with Ashley Pugmire. Games of Mash, Life, and (8. And our "help us" sign. Little recap: Choir teacher literally YELLED at us cause we were on a bus. And she didn't like it. So she kicked us onto the ALL GIRL bus. We were PRETTY pissed ticked (sorry mom). I let it get to me but Ash was awesome and pulled through it. And got me distracted. So the above picture, is one of my greatest memories for eternity. Yeah. I love this girl.

It's great. Really. BFF.

March 21-23:

WORST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE. (Me being over dramatic right now) So, this girl got a genious idea. Whoo-hoo! Chef in the making. I'm so awesome I can go and compete against college kids.

No.

No I can't.

I lost it....way to many times.

Skills USA. Some kids make it...and lots....don't. Don't worry though. The amazing Kinzie Madsen and Jeffrey Bushnell and a whole bunch of others were awesome. DHHS rocked the other schools socks off. Anyways. Back to the story. I get there. Whoo-hoo life is great. Get ready for the competition. Get there, and find out that the stuff we had to make had BEEN ON THE WEBSITE FOR THE PAST 2 WEEKS/MONTH. Not cool. I tried to walk out then but Mr. Smith wouldn't let me. Lost it time #1. Get myself under control. Deep breaths. Glance down, I have to cook a trout. What was that? Yeah, A TROUT. AN ACTUAL FISH THAT HAD BEEN KILLED AND I HAD TO GUT AND DO STUFF TO. Ew. Lost it time #2. Don't worry. Mr. Smith got me under control AGAIN. Lucky for this girl he had actually gone out in the world and done things. He walked me through it. Turns out, really, I didn't do half bad. I mean, I pulled myself together and did it. Only set a couple of things on fire. (;  After all those capitol letters, tears, and frustrations. I, of course, learned a ton.

-Never EVER quit. (Mr. Smith)

-Don't get yourself into something that you can't do.

-Prepare yourself. For anything and everything. Do your research.

After that SUPER long post. Moving on. (:

March 24-26:
ProStart Competition! No pics but probably one of the best moments of my life. Working with Kacie and Brock, the pros. It was great. I loved every second of it!

April 1, 2011:

I went on a.....date/engagement......with the most amazing man ever. No picture. Unfortunately. But we had a very eventful night. Got engaged, met his mom, faked the engagement for her, got asked out on a real date. (:

April 2, 2011:

Went on our first "real" date. We went mini-golfing at Fiesta Fun. And got frozen hot chocolates from Dairy Queen. And then we sat up by the old airport and asked each other hundreds of questions. And, I was WAY late for my curfew.

April 10, 2011:

After A LOT of hard work. My mom, sister, and I all finished our second personal progress.

April 18, 2011:

Breanna took off her fingernail and had to have stitches.

April 19, 2011:

First kiss with the most amazing man ever.

Tyler went to go have the time of his life in Cabo, Mexico. (Don't worry. I get to go next year. (: )

May 25, 2011:

I GRADUATED from Desert Hills High School. Thank the heavens. Mom and Dad totally spoiled me...well, so did everyone else. I was a lucky gal. Stocked for college.

May 31 or June 1, 2011(We can't remember):

(We have WAY too many pictures. None of her leaving though.)

Rakell moved to Wentzville, Missouri. For all her lovely friends down there, you are WAY too lucky. Hopefully she comes back and visits us soon....or lives here. I wouldn't be mad. (:

June 3, 2011:

Wisdom teeth out. All four were impacted and one had a cyst. No worries, just some of the worst pain ever. (Besides the toncilitis. That was....a lot worse.) No pain meds (bad experience with the toncils), and lots of nastyness. And blood. Gross.

July 4, 2011:

Ty asked my dad for my hand in marriage. Almost proposed, but there were lots of people.

July 6, 2011:

 Tyler proposed. (: My mom asked if we wanted to come for dinner. I was super hungry so we left. Next thing I know...we don't go to my parents. After a little quarrel we settled down at Chile's (I still think Paula's is better. (;). Then we started driving. I didn't catch on to the little hints but he drove past the temple and stuff. And we ended up at Fiesta Fun. He got creamed at Go-Karts and I got creamed at mini-golfing. Then we went and got frozen hot chocolates and sat on a hill to watch the sunset. I asked him what he was thinking about and he asked me what I was thinking about. I told him to go first. I think he was nervous. He took out the ring and spilled our frozen hot chocolates. And then....he said, "Well, I was thinking about being married to you. Will you marry me?" Don't worry. I said yes. (:

July 8-10, 2011:
Anderson Family Reunion! Party. Long time to drive with Ty. We had lots of fun though. Little 10 year olds were our "chaperones". Went down the Alpine Slides, went zip lining, had fun with family, had a blast!

August 3, 2011:
My 18th birthday. (:

August 6, 2011:

My little sister was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. So proud of her!

September 10, 2011

I was sealed to the most amazing man in the most amazing place for eternity.
(It's tired of uploading pics. I'm sorry! If you want to see them go to Tyler N Ashleigh Prax )

And....the rest is kind of destiny.  (: Sorry if I made you bored. But it was kind of fun to go back and look. I'll post resolutions and...there was something else that I'll post later. I'm getting kind of sleepy. (:

Love you all!

XOXO

Ty and Ash.
