Dear Spring semester,

When you first started I thought I'd like you,

I thought that you might be fun...

New apartment.....

New friends.......

More time with my boy.....

Well, it turns out that not matter how fun all the other stuff is,

the school part of it all = no fun.

You have been kickin' my butt for the past four months..

and my butt is now currently very much bruised.

I'm tired, and I'm sick of you.

You're no longer welcome in my life,

so if you'd please leave, that'd be real great.

Thanks.

Despite all of this....

there has been some good come out of this semester.

In fact, some GREAT has come out of this semester....

let me tell you about some of those things:

1. I met new friends :)

2. I've had a much nicer place to live.

3. I fell even more heels over head in love.

4. I got engaged! :) :) <3

5. More stuff that I just can't think of at the moment because

as soon as I think about being engaged I loose all other train of thought.....

So what was I talking about? hehe.

Oh yeah I remember......

Spring semester, I don't like you anymore....

I'll see you next year....

Love,

Dani

It's hot......in my bedroom. Holy.
I left my bedroom at 8:45 am this morning, and hadn't been
back until about 1/2 an hour ago.
When I opened my door it was like a rush of HOT air.
And now I'm sitting on my bed in as little clothes as possible with both
of my windows open....but it doesn't seem to be cooling down any...
It's gonna be a long night if I can't cool down!

I shouldn't complain though, because today was such a beautiful day!!
When I drove to work at noon the bank said it was 80 degrees!
Holy-ba-joly!!
No matter what's goin on in my life, not matter how stressed
I am, no matter how upset I am at someone, there's just something about
the sun shining and the 80 degree weather during the first few days of spring
that just brings a giant smile to my face. :) I love it, how could anyone not??

I miss you Tyler.....even though I saw him like 5 hours ago...
but I won't get too see him till tomorrow night after work. Sad day.
He's in Sandy right now with his familia.
Justin got set-apart tonight. Congrats Justin!
He's officially a missionary now!! He leaves for the MTC tomorrow,
ready to prepare to teach the people of Hamburg, Germany.
His farewell was on Sunday, and he gave a great talk.
See you in two years Justin! When you get back, we'll be brother/sister!!
......weird.......but EXCITING.......

I need to write my Business Law ethics essay.....
BLAH...
I cannot wait for this semester to be done!
woo.

P.S. 6 weeks from today I will be Danielle Simonsen!! :) :)
<3

spring!

Can it be true?? can it REALLY be SPRING?? my heart is happy at the weather today... I rode my bike to work for the first time this year. :) it was very relaxing... i've been extremely stressed out because of school this week....and riding my bike really helped my mind escape for a few minutes. there's just something about riding your bike on the first real day of good weather with your hair blowing in the wind....and GLEE playing in your ear :) AH, just brings a smile to my face.

today is just a happy day. i had a marketing test this morning (which wasn't happy) and even though I didn't get a great score, it was my best test score out of the three tests we've taken in that class so far this semester. and then I had accounting (which also not happy) which we did a test review (tests are not happy) BUT i felt like i knew how to do most questions on the review (happy)! and trust me, this was a first. normally i'm lucky if i know how to do a single problem... and then i got to lay on the couch at my apartment for a little while before work. that was real nice :)

goals for this weekend:
1. FINISH designing wedding invitation and ORDER them.
2. Eat at Zupa's.
3. Study REAL hard for my accounting test.
4. Make GOOD progress on my ethics essay for business law.

Bed Bugs...

So a few days ago I woke up with a mysterious red bump on my arm... I wasn't sure what it was, but it didn't itch so i didn't worry about it. The next morning I woke up and there were three huge blisters on top of the red bump...very strange. So I asked my dad what he thought it was and he said, "It looks like poison oak. Have you been in any bushes or trees lately?" um...no! I have not been playing in bushes lately?? So then he said, "It also looks like a burn. Did you burn yourself?" no, not that I had remembered...maybe I burned it on my straightner, but just didn't notice? "Dani, that looks bad enough to be a third degree burn. You'd remember if you burned yourself." well....I don't remember burning myself, so that's not it... What could it be?? We had no more guesses. So I put a bandaide over it and forgot about it for a few days. When I took the bandaide off the blisters had mostly popped and were starting to scab over...When I got to work yesterday my boss said, "What is that on your arm!? It looks like melanoma!" okay, that sorta freaked me out! but he went on to explain that when you get tested for melanoma they poke ya with something that has three points on it and if you test positive the injection sites blister and scab like that. but the good news is, I didn't get tested, so that means I most likely don't have melanoma......but then he got a worried look on his face and said, "I have an idea of what that could be....but I'm not sure I want to tell you...." well if you know then tell me!! "Are you sure you wanna know?" yes...... "Okay, so I don't want to scare you, but it actually looks like bed bug bites. They start out as little, but every night they keep biting you more and more and you end up with blistery rashes all over you body. Also, they come out the most between 3 and 4 am" oh my gosh! are you kidding me?? That's disgusting!! What should I do??? "You need to look on your sheets for little blue stains. They're pretty small, but not microscopic. And then look underneath your bed really good for any webs with tiny blue bugs." oh my gosh!!!!!!!! I am never going to be able to sleep in my bed again!! Thanks a lot Mitch!! you have totally freaked me out......ugh.

So I go on throughout the day until it's bed time...Before I crawl into my bed I inspect every inch looking for little blue circles and webs underneath. nothing....so I convince myself I don't have bed bugs and fall asleep....Well once I fall asleep I start dreaming. I dream that I am inspecting my sheets and find blue stains all over them! and I look under my bed and it's covered with webs full of little blue bugs!! And then they're crawling all over me and I start itching and ugh....it was terrible. Then I woke up and looked at the clock....3:35 am.....great......by now i am terrified and am completely convinced that I have bed bugs crawling all over me and am itching like crazy...... After at least an hour of squirming and scratching I finally fell asleep...

And guess what the first thing I did when i woke up this morning was? I stripped my bed and threw my sheets in the washer. Goodbye bed bugs!

.hello.

wow. i'm not very good at blogging apparently. BUT, I'm gonna do better now.... cause i've been reading other people's blogs lately and some of them are so amazing. I'm jealous.

Updates...

I'm engaged! :) Tyler proposed on March 11, 2010 at the Capital Building in downtown Salt Lake City. I loved loved loved the way that he did it....so cute and sooo creative. and it was a total surprise which made it even more amazing. we are getting married on june 1st in the oquirrh mountain temple, and i could not be more excited. as we are preparing and planning everything my love for him grows every second. i can't help but smile when i look at him and i want to spend every possible second with him. i love tyler because he makes me want to be a better person. he makes me want to be more loving, more caring, better in school, and stronger spiritually. it's amazing how someone can open your eyes and make you want to be better in every way. i'm so happy right now, and i know it's only UPhill from here.

easter this year was bitter sweet. i got my wisdom teeth out on the 2nd of april, so it was a somewhat miserable weekend, but it was also great because most of my family was all together and i got babied :) haha. my family treated me great and let me whine and mope for a few days. on sunday tyler's family came to eat dinner with my family at my house. it was the first time they all got to meet, so i was a little nervous, but it turned out great i think! my mom put together a delicious meal (as always) and i think everyone got along great!

school is definitely starting to drag...and i think we're all just trying to hang in there and not catch the 'spring fever'. finals are approaching and i'm getting nervous! it's crunch time, and i need to pull out strong! my classes are hard, but i think most people think that. i'm sure i don't have it harder than anyone else, but it's still a challenge. waking up in the morning is getting harder and harder everyday.....getting yourself to class is a definite battle. exactly one month from today is the last day of finals! woooo!

once finals are done i'll have almost a full month to pull all the strings together and finalize everything for the wedding. may will be a busy month, but that's good because time will fly and we won't have any time to get impatient! christie christensen is taking our engagement pictures this saturday...that should be fun! and then the next weekend justin (tyler's brother) talks in sacrament for his farewell! and then he leaves the next wednesday on the 21st of april! it's so crazy how fast time is flying by! good luck in hamburg, germany justin!!
