wonderful weekend

Things have been crazy here in the wonderful world of Kim since the last update. So here are the plans as of today. The official time of the wedding is 10am in the Logan Temple on June 10th 2008!

This weekend was a fun one. On Saturday we traveled up to Warsaw and had dad take some engagement pictures for us at the Botanical Gardens in downtown Fort Wayne. We accidentally went on Dr. Seuss day at the gardens though so there were tons of little children running around the place, which made for an interesting time for taking engagement pictures! But it turned out to be a good thing because during some of them I am laughing at the kids being silly, so it ended up being a blessing in disguise. On Sunday we went to church in Warsaw with Mom and Dad. Phil finally had to meet everyone from my home ward, every time we have gone to Warsaw he has gotten out of going to church there, but this time he couldn't quite get out of it. After church we ate lunch with the family and came back to Muncie so that we could go to Why I Believe with the missionaries and some investigators. Okay so that was pretty much the entire weekend. This week I am going to go up to Fort Wayne to meet mom and try to figure out my wedding dress!

Here are our top picks of the pictures that we took on Saturday, I tried to put more up but the internet is really slow right now, but maybe later.

Once upon a Time...

...there was a girl named Kim. She started school at Ball State in August. She met this prince of a guy, Phil, in the Young Single Adults there. Kim, being her sweet,little, innocent self, asked this guy out to lunch to use up her extra money on her lunch card all in hopes of him falling for her charity and goodness. Phil, after a few lunches, fell for her generosity and good looks and Kim became his girlfriend. The two of them began doing things together like walks around campus, cooking dinner, and other such things that dating nerds like to do. Over the long and harsh winter break, our couple went to Nauvoo together for a friend's wedding and to each other's homes. After winter break the two resumed their pattern of dating and could often be seen eating meals together at all of the posh campus eateries but normally they went to Phil's house to cook dinner together. It was such an evening that Phil, after an evening full of conversation, suddenly dropped to one knee and asked if she would marry him. After a week of being secretly engaged (Kim said "yes," of course) Phil called Kim's father to ask fo permission to marry his daughter. Of course Kim's father, being the kind and gracious king that he is, said yes! And after June, they will live happily ever after.
