Engaged!

I have a hard time getting around to updating my blog... haha

So, on July 4th, I got ENGAGED!!

We went on a date to Alki to eat at our favorite pizza place, and after took a walk along the beach. About an hour in, Chris said he wanted to take some pictures of me, which is why he brought his camera. So I said sure and posed for a couple of photos.

After a couple, he looked at the camera and said "I like this one, it's really cute! Wanna see?" So I said yes and he turned his camera around so I could see it, and on the screen had this picture:

Of course I said yes :)

I was so surprised and happy. I did not expect that to happen that day! And he picked the exact ring I wanted :)

And then he had to take some "after" shots, haha.

Afterwards, we drove over to his parents' house to tell them. When we told his mom, she immediately burst into tears and hugged me and said she was so happy and excited, and she made me cry too! Chris said even he almost wanted to cry after seeing us both so emotional and for making his mom so happy. His dad was really happy to. 

Then we went home to tell my parents' and dad just kept playing on his ipad, haha. Grandma was happy, though! Haha.

After that, we went to downtown Bellevue to watch the fireworks. It was a romantic way to end the evening.

 

The other day, my friend Anna offered to take some engagement pics for us for free, so of course we took her up on that!

Promotion and Life

It's been a long time since I updated this blog! A lot has been going on since my last entry!

I've been spending almost every day with Chris. Things are getting really serious, we even looked at engagement rings the other day.

I've been working a lot, 5 days a week, 8 hours a day (which I guess is normal). After working basically full time for about 7 months, a management spot opened up and I decided to apply. So now I'm a manager! It's a lot less stressful than I thought it would be, I don't have as many problems and complaints as I thought would arise, but there's always time for those to happen.

Our film group, ISOfox participated in the 100-Hour Film Race this year. We did the 24-Hour one before, if you remember our film "Only One". This one was called "CODER", and it ended up in the top 20 in the Country! (Though there were only 88 entries, but still!) If voting hasn't closed by the time you read this, you should help us out and vote for us at https://www.surverymonkey.com/s/100hourfilmrace2012
It was really fun to film, though very tiring. At the start of the race, they emailed all of the participants the theme, prop and action. The theme was "disconnected", the action was "locking something" and the prop was "carrot". After the email, we had 100 hours (about 4 days) to plan, script out, film, and edit the video.

A few weeks ago I decided to dye my hair! I wanted a reddish brown, but I ended up with reddish blonde. I was really happy with it though! But it was a semi-permanent dye, meaning the color was only supposed to last like 2-3 months. However, it's only been like 1 months and the color is almost completely gone.
Chris wanted to get highlights as well, so we had a double-dying date! His mom did both of our hair.

 So now I've just been working and spending my off time with Chris. And that's pretty much my life right now.
