TAKING STOCK
Making: a mess... my house needs to be cleaned. I run, run, run constantly, so things just get thrown places.
Cooking: nothing... I haven't had a home cooked meal in a while. Once again, run, run, run.
Drinking: an outdated free cherry coke.... yeah. wonderful. the water bottle broke.
Reading: this question isn't really relevant to me, but I've been reading Bossy Pants. :)
Wanting: My ring to stop being dumb. I guess something happened when they sized it, and now it's turning black, and they can't figure out why.
Looking: at my thighs, thinking, "Girl get back to the gym" haha
Playing: I wish the piano... I haven't played in months.
Wasting: time
Sewing: I have 3 articles of clothing for other people that need to be finished, but I did make a Christmas stocking and an adorable monster hoodie towel for a sweet little girl.
Wishing: David lived in Pocatello. I hate it.
Enjoying: texts from him. He is the most kind hearted sincere person I've ever met.
Waiting: to get off work so I can take my ring in, find black shoes, do laundry, and go to bed early.
Liking: that I've had such great success serving dinner to make some wedding money.
Wondering: how miserable I'm going to be when I get my wisdom teeth out.
Loving: the fact that this year has done a 180 degree spin. It's gone from worst year ever, to happy. I love David, and I love how happy we are together.
Hoping: I can do wedding, reffing, and volleyball without being over stressed.
Marveling: at how gracious God can be.
Needing: my man by me.
Smelling: my space heater. It smells like new heater and I'm grateful for it!
Wearing: taupe colored boots, red jeans, black baggy long sleeve shirt, and a red and black scarf.
Following: my usual. I'm a blog stalker
Noticing: how long it feels when I have to get my ring fixed. It feels like an eternity without that thing on.
Knowing:
That the Lord has blessed me.
Thinking: I should clean my room tonight, but not wanting to.
Feeling: in love, but lonely. I can't wait to come home to him.
Bookmarking: wedding ideas. Let the games begin.
Opening: Amazon packages. New sperry's for David and a killer skinny tie.
Giggling: over my co worker's cheery disposition. haha She's never this chipper
Feeling:
sleepy, exhausted, overwhelmed and my feet hurt.

The Beginning of Our Happily Ever After...
Well folks, it has happened. David and I are engaged!!
We could not be more STOKED about this.
I think it's safe to say that both of us are on cloud nine to say the least.
SOOoooOOOOoo... want to hear the story?!
Alright, fine. I'll share.
So this was Friday, November 29th.
David came over pretty early that day and we did a few things around the house, involving Christmas of course! Now I knew that David had a ring, and I knew that he had talked to all of my parents, but, he had told me that he wasn't going to do it until around Christmas, and that I'd just have to be patient (which I wasn't being very good at). If I would have thought about it, I would have realized the sense of urgency in asking my parents that week.. but I was trusting David in the December comment. So anyways, we decorate the christmas tree.... more like he helped me set it up, and I'm too big of a perfectionist to let him touch the decorations so he watched a movie ;). We just hung out at home, ate pizza, and then David entertained my neice and nephew (by hiding colored weights around my house and playing hide and seek hahaha) while my sister and brother-in-law worked on fixing the sewing machine. This took a few hours and when it was done my sister invited us to go to the light parade. Little did I know, this threw a wrench in his plans. But, we went to the parade and FROZE to death while watching the parade that seemed to last forever. I'm absolutely positive it felt 100x longer to David. But after the parade, we went to David's parent's house to just visit for a few. Somehow, David got me to help make the decision that it was a good idea to go up to the top of Red Hill and drink hot chocolate in the blistering cold. So we go. I hike this mountain in boots with a three in heel. wonderful. So we get up there and it's windy as all get out, and I'm wrapped in a blanket and he's pouring hot chocolate. He has his arms wrapped around me and he starts asking me a few questions. He says, "Whitney, do you have any idea how much I love you? Because I love you, and want to spend the rest of forever with you. Are you ready for this? Are you sure you want this?" ect. ect. I agreed with him and kissed him. We got up and he got down on one knee. I looked at him with wide eyes and said, "This is a joke. You're totally not going to do it right now." (mind you, this whole evening I was thinking, "what if he proposes?" No he wont. he's just trying to trick you.) I said that because he kept hinting that he wanted to trick me. He just looked at me and said, "Are you ready to go?" So I kid you not, the ENTIRE hike back down the mountain, I am going on and on and on and on and on about how he had NOT fooled me and that he was going to be just like the little boy who cried wolf and that when he was actually going to do it I wouldn't believe him, ect, ect. It was pretty comical for him I'm sure. He was walking in front of me and I remember hollering, "Hey Buddy, why don't you turn around and shine that light back here so I can freaking see!" Yes after all this, he still wanted to propose.... haha. So we get to the car and he opens my door, and I reach over to unlock his, like I always do. I turn back around and David had opened the jockey box and was pulling out a ring box. He knelt down on one knee and said, "Whitney Lynn Talbot, will you marry me?" I was in total shock and surprise. My hand was over my mouth and I was crying. I grabbed his face and kissed him, and hugged him, and forgot to say yes. haha so I quickly said! "Oh I'm supposed to answer! YES!" I got up out of the car (after a fierce battle with trying to untangle myself from the blanket I was in) and gave my fiance the biggest of hugs and kisses that ever was. Him sliding that ring onto my finger was the most perfect moment of my life. I could not have asked for a better day after thanksgiving. We went back to my house, grabbed my phone and I began telling those who I had to tell first. We decided to go to my parents and tell them in person. When we got to their house, they weren't there, sooo I called my mom, no answer, my dad, no answer, my mom, my dad, my mom, my dad... no answer. So we hunted those people down. We found them at Kiwi Loco and I yelled "You never answer your phone when I need you!" then gave them a hug. David's family knew it was happening so, we went back there and filled everyone in.
I could not have asked for a more perfect surprise, or a more perfect man.
I am the happiest girl alive, and I will be happy forever.
I love you David.
Merry Christmas,
from the future Covey Family.

| Our Christmas tree. It's all maps, and ornaments from places I've been. The "I'll Be Home for Christmas Tree" |
 |
| Feast your eyes on this beauty. And so you know. I didn NOT help pick this out. David did that on his own. GOOD JOB BABE!! |
 |
| This was right after I got it sized. It was the strangest feeling to not have it on my hand for 48 hrs. I was pretty pumped to have it back, and David wanted to see it back on my finger. |
