engaged

there is a need for an inbetween post, one between where i am today and where i was in my last post. i finished the year of school later in may 2015. in june i spent a week in cork, where i decided i would go to the temple for a week and later in that week in cork i decided i would go to america since Emma was not able to come to ireland for her time with me. with a couple of days to pack i headed to the temple for a week. it was at the temple i decided i needed to apply to byu.

I had an amazing time during the summer with Emma we got to do some fun things. I got my application in to BYU and decided this was my next step in life, i applied to BYUI just in case i wasnt accepted to BYU, i got accepted to BYUI mid september 2015 and a couple of weeks later i was accepted to BYU. when i found out iwas accepted to BYUI, i felt that thats where i wouldbe attending school. Between being accepted toBYUI and BYU i met Scott online, as the only person i 'knew' in rexburg, i envisioned him being my friend and nothing more.

I arrived in Utah december 13th, and was met - unexpectedly- at the airport by Scott and 3 of his children. i met him a few other times once with emma between christmas and new years and on January 16th we got engaged. I transferred up to BYUI starting in April and have been helping out in the Shelton household since i got here so Scott can also attend BYUI fulltime. In August we will get married and become a blended and complicated family.
