Well folks if you haven't noticed I'm a bit dry on the blog posts. I thought I could add something that would spice it up. Rachelle and I have really gotten into Arrested Development. If you haven't watched it, you should check it out because it is hilarious. I thought I would share my favorite clip from the show.

EyeV and Malaga Spain
Since the wedding, most of our time has been filled with school and work which bores me even thinking about it. However, we have had a couple of exciting things happen.
Early evening on the first Saturday in March, I had come home from a day working at the gas station. Next to our little home we have an old, cruddy shed. Every time the wind blows, it takes the doors right off of the shed. So when I came home and noticed the doors off again I decided I would just stick them inside the shed and leave them in there. I put them and the back of the shed and as I turned around I ran into a hook(most likely to hang tools from) that was hanging from the ceiling. The hook caught me in the eye. Frightened I checked to make sure I still had an eye, then I made sure I wasn't blind.
About 30 seconds later, Rachelle got home from work. We decided we had better get me to a doctor, so we went to an instacare. They checked it out and found I had an abrasion on the outside of my eye lid. They decided to flush my eye out with water to make sure there was nothing in my eye. This may have been the weirdest experience I've ever had. I had basically a plastic contact lens , which was hooked to an I.V., placed in my eye. Then I had water running into my eye for the next 15 minutes. It felt weird. But everything turned out okay and healed up just fine.
Rachelle's little brother Rob left on his mission on April 9, 2008, to the Spain Malaga Mission. It was fun to spend some time with him before he left and now we are excited to hear about his future adventures. We are excited for him to come home, but we are glad he is out serving the Lord.
Engagement
We got engaged September 9, 2007. I need to thank my parents, especially my Dad, for the great acting, which helped us surprise Rachelle.
While preparing for dinner that Sunday evening my dad purposely burnt some garlic bread in the oven. So after that we continued on with dinner as usual. But shortly after the prayer we heard sirens outside and we looked to find a Fire Truck. My Mom(the Relief Society President) started saying I hope its not for someone in the ward. It soon became apparent that the firemen were coming to our home. My dad answered the door, the firemen said they had reports of smoke coming from our home. My dad explained to them that he burned some bread and we are fine. The firemen explained that it is standard procedure to do a walk through of the house just in case. They had us all go out onto the lawn while they checked out the house.
When they finished walking through the house, they brought the pan of bread out with them when they came and brought the ring on the pan. I grabbed the ring and proposed. She was caught off guard and she said yes! My brother in law Clay had his video camera and caught the whole thing on tape. If I can figure out how to do it I will put the video on here.

The Holiday
Rachelle isn't much of a computer person so I will be doing most of the work here. To get it started, I'll tell about how we met.
We met in April 2007 at the Holiday Oil on 1600 North in Orem. I was working at the time and Rachelle was filling her car up on her way to work. My boss, Vaughn, enjoyed trying to find Darryl, my coworker, and I dates. He would try tell us he will get girls numbers, but never would.
So Rachelle came in, paid for gas and went out to fill up her car. After she left the store I asked Vaughn to get us her number. Much to my surprise he grabbed some paper and walked out to her pump. Darryl and I turned on the speaker at the pump so we could hear what they were saying. She seemed skeptical but decided to give him her number.
Later that week, Darryl and I were planning to go on a double date. I had already asked someone and Darryl needed a date so I told him to take Rachelle. He called and left a message, but got no response. The next week we decided to see if she was trying to avoid us(cause we work at a gas station) so we both text messaged her. She responded to us both and thus began our conversations.
We text messaged occasionally over the month. I tried to hang out with her one night, but she was doing "homework"(she still claims to this day that she really was doing homework on a Friday night). After that excuse, I had given up and didn't plan on talking to her again. But about a week later she asked if I wanted to go out with her. Unfortunately, I had a date that weekend and was unable to go out with her. After seeing that she was interested I asked her out and we finally went out on our first date at the beginning of June. It was actually the same night that my brother Clayton got engaged.
