What a great January!

Hi Friends! I can’t believe it’s already February! I feel like January was slow and fast. I don’t know, there is part of me that feels like it should be March already, but then another that’s like Wow! Where did January go?

Here’s a recap! Overall, I’d say it was a great month!

The year started in Boston with my besties and my family! I’m so thankful for them!

Flew back to Idaho and immediately went back to work on January 3.

We had a lot of very snowy days! One of the weeks I feel like it snowed every single morning!

One weekend I didn’t leave my house at all because of the snow. I would finish shoveling and immediately have to shovel again!

Went skiing at Sun Valley! Here’s to more skiing in February!

Took way too many photos of Jackson sleeping! He’s just so cute!

Spent some time reading!! Here’s to more reading in February too!

And, even enjoyed some outdoor walks to end the month with these above average temperatures we’ve been having!

My biggest goal for this year is to enjoy things I used to enjoy again. When I was in college and even before that, I had a lot of things I loved to do. Everything from reading, to running, to dancing, cooking, playing my clarinet. There were so many things I loved to do, and I stopped doing all of them because of my job. My entire life revolved around my job, and I want that to STOP in 2024. I want to enjoy the things I used to enjoy again, and enjoy my life. Life is so short and it flies by.

2023, A Day In The Life Of Liz, Engaged, Idaho, Jackson, Proposal, Trevor, Twin Falls

November 3, the day I got engaged!

Hi friends!! I have quite the story to tell you!

On November 3rd, 2023 my boyfriend Trevor asked me to marry him.

I thought I would share the story here with you, partly because it’s really cute and partly because I don’t want to forget it! So, here it goes!

November 3rd, of 2019 was the day that Trevor and I first met. This year, November 3rd fell on a Friday, so all week we were planning to go out to dinner to celebrate.

We were planning to go out to Juanitzio’s, which is a Mexican Restaurant that tastes really good.

I got finished with work on that day around 2, and I headed to the grocery store after work, then I came home, took my dog out for a walk, read my book on the couch, and you know, it was just a very normal day.

Trevor got home from work and went to take a shower, very normal after a long day.

He came out from the shower and asked me if instead of Juanitzio’s, if I wanted to go to Rock Creek, which is a steak house that is a little bit fancier.

I thought nothing of it, because in my mind I’m like yeah, we could go to Juanitzio’s any day, but we probably wouldn’t go to Rock Creek that often, only on special occasions.

He then asks me if I wanted to change. I was in workout clothes, so again, that makes total sense.

I went to change into a nicer outfit and then I came out from doing that and was putting on my shoes, and was thinking nothing of it. But, then Trevor came into the bedroom and was looking at me all strange. I asked him if he didn’t want to go, or if he didn’t feel good.

Instead of replying, he gets down on one knee and proposes to me! He said, Will you marry me?

My reaction, was probably very atypical.

“Are you sure?”

“Are you serious?”

“What?”

I genuinely couldn’t believe that it was happening right then.

It never once crossed my mind, even after all that happened that day, that he would or might propose to me that day. I honestly was so shocked and surprised.

I eventually said Yes, and then we had a moment of disbelief and I had many questions for him, such as who knew you were going to do this, and How long have you had this ring? You know, the journalist that I am was very curious.

We eventually went to Rock Creek and celebrated there.

We’ve now been engaged for a little over a week and it’s finally just now sinking in.

I couldn’t believe it but I’m so excited.

I thought that we would get engaged and get married someday, we’ve had lots of conversations about it. But, I’m glad I was so surprised, because it made it so much better!

Anyways, that’s the story, and I have no idea about anything else, but here are some cute pictures that we took the day after!
