Wearing Clothes

Tuesday I received a Wheaties shirt from Julian (the coordinator of intramurals). It’s big and orange just like a box of Wheaties. I decided to wear it yesterday because it’s an original shirt and no one has one yet.
This is how my morning went. I woke up around 4:00 am and couldn’t go back to sleep because I had some acid reflux. I tried everything to get rid of the taste but I couldn’t. I tried to lie down but nothing worked. I headed to work around 5:15am to check in, unlock the doors and then come right back home. I unlocked the doors in record time and hurried back home. I went straight to bed and slept for a couple hrs. I woke up at 11 and went to the gym. I returned form the gym and did some homework and played around the house until I had to go to class. I decided to put my Wheaties shirt on to show it off.
In class we always have to get into groups and discuss what we read the week before. I had a few people in the group comment on my shirt and they wanted to know where they could get one. I told them that I got it from intramurals they only have so many shirts. I got done with class and Amber wanted me to go check out her gym in Sugar House. The total time of wearing the shirt was 3 hrs. I did my workout and come back home.
The dilemma that I faced this morning was if I should wear the Wheaties shirt or should I hold off for a few days. I kept telling myself that it was alright and no one would notice because, I wouldn’t see anyone form my class. I been caught a few times wearing the same thing the next day and it always gets weird. I don’t know if I am the only one that does this but I tend to think that I am not alone. I do it mostly with clothes that I wear on Sunday afternoon. Everyone at ward prayer sees me in it that night at 9:00 pm but I don’t see anyone at school. I wear the same clothes to school that I wore Sunday night but, I have to remember to change it again before FHE. I assume that everyone does it because I have caught a few of you doing it but you wont admit it.

March 17th 2007

I know that today is the 26th of March but I thought that it would nice to tell everyone how I got engaged. Many of you know that Amber and I have been dating for a while and that we have been looking for a ring. Well the ring finally came in on Thursday the 15th of March. I tried to keep everything a secret from Amber but she is like one of those Elders on your mission that has all of his Christmas presents open the day he gets them. I think that she called everyone that I knew to ask if the ring had come in. I had the lady from the ring shop call her up and tell her that the ring wasn’t going to come in until next week. Bad choice because Amber figured out that she could have never had her number unless I gave it to her. Just a little heads up. I was able to cover it up with my wit, but I don’t think that it worked.
I knew that I was getting the ring that week but I didn’t know when exactly. I called The Roof and made reservations for Saturday night just in case. Teresa from the ring shop called me and told me to pick up the ring. I had everything set except, I didn’t know how to propose to her. I called everyone I knew and asked them for advice. I asked her roommate and she helped me out a lot. I was going to do something random and make it funny but Shawn said otherwise. Shawn and Lindsay finally gave me the idea of going to the airport and asking her there. Before you think that the airport is random I will explain. This summer I went to Hawaii with my family. My family left a week before I arrived, so Amber gave me a ride to the airport. We had been dating for a few months and that is where I told her that I loved her for the first time.
I had the plan and everything was ready except I had to figure out how to get Amber to the airport and out of the truck to propose to her. My buddy Julian was in San Francisco for the week and he was going to come back that week. I told Amber that I needed to pick him up because he didn’t have anyone home to get him. That worked out great and she said that she would come. I had everything planned now it was just getting her out of the car.
We arrive at the airport and I have Julian call me to tell me where he was at. I pretended to talk to J and I drove over to where I told her that I loved her. When we got to the spot Amber said, “Isn’t this where you said you love me” I pretended not to hear her and hopped out. I answered my phone again and told Amber that I needed to help J with his luggage. I was in a hurry so I asked her to open the trunk and she hopped out. I walked a little ways down the track and then I turned around and proposed to her. I was so nervous that I really didn’t know what I was saying but she did. She did say yes. Later that night we went to The Roof and had a wonderful night. We are getting married August 7th 2007 in the Mount Timpanogos Temple.
