MY RING!

Here is a little video about our experience and stories behind the ring. MY ring. :)

We are both going to contribute to the blog post about the proposal. It'll be fun to get his side as well! Let me just say it was PERFECT. We will do that sometime this week! :) But for now, CHECK OUT HOW LUCKY I AM!!!

Them vs. Us

This is what happens when we are locked in a study room for too long. It is okay if you don't think we're funny. We are weird. We know. 

Who pulled off the pose better?

hahahahahaha.

Thanks for a great time pinterest pictures!

That one smell...

You all know what I am talking about... 

Either the exhibit a) dirty rag stench, or the exhibit b) clothes in washer too many nights in a row smell...

My poor babe doesn't always get to his clothes on time, maybe because he lives in Layton part-time.

But...today we experienced one of our funniest moments...

I'll paint a quick picture for ya:

We bought an avocado from Harmon's, so we got to his apartment and I sliced it up. 

I hate messy hands...

So I washed my hands pretty good right after, which led me to dry them off on the only rag in the room hanging nicely on the stove handle.

Mitch said, "That thing probably reaks." I smelled my hands and I couldnt smell anything.

**FAST FORWARD AN HOUR**

He leans over to give me a hug, and me assuming it was my hands from that dirty rag exclaimed:

"EW THAT SMELL!!" 

Smelled my hands, it wasnt them....

Mitch gives a devious smirk and said "OK it is my shirt, it was in the washer too long. I didn't smell it until I was already on my way." 

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Ladies and gentlemen...I proudly present to you....

My favorite exhibit of them all... 

We laughed so hard.

You can totally imagine that smell huh?

He is the cutest, yet stinkiest boy ever! ;)

Looooove youuuuuu!

L.O.V.E.

I have slacked a bit on keeping up with our dates. Here are some random pictures I haven't posted. He is the best boyfriend in this world.

Mitch spent a few hours at Walmart and the Post Office with me a few weeks ago. Mashed potato powder, lipstick, candy, nail polish and many other random things made my best friend so happy! Here is a direct quote from Miss in her email this past week:

"I GOT THE PACKAGE! i love you stace! thanks so much! i just send out a letter to you and stevee with photos and quotes and junk! love you so so so so much! thank you! you're the best best friend ever!!" 

-Sister Hadfield

Thank you University of Utah for bringing a new element into our dating life. AIR HOCKEY! Fun to see his competitive side, and he is a pretty good loser. Hahahah! Just kidding, I have lost one or two more times than he has. I will own one of these air hockey tables someday!

The U is a good distance between both of our homes. Sooooo much nicer than the 2 hour gap from Orem to Logan. Slowly...but SURELY we are getting closer and closer. No need to make new friends, Mitch is my school buddy! (I am kidding I have made a few friends)...Haha. I just choose to be with him 24-7.

We went to Boondocks not too long ago. Yes, primarily to play air hockey. We had a pretty good competition including: basketball, air hockey, go-karts, and skee ball. I WON!

Little things are the BIG things

Stevee was begging me to go to a movie after I got off work late one night. This is a little act, but a BIG thing for my little high school sister to want to be with me instead of her friends.

I was able to be there with my grandpa before he went in for surgery. I was confident that he would make it through the surgery fine, but being there and giving him a kiss & hug beforehand is something I'll remember forever.

 Although we were texting about complete nonsense, seeing "I love you" 200 plus times makes me grin like no other. Sure it was done by copy and paste, took 4 seconds....but it is just as big & special as a single orange rose in my book! (Notice how I didn't say a dozen orange roses? ;) those are #1 hahahhah just kidding!)

 I might have been a brat or something this day, I don't really remember. ;) All that matters is this guy surprised me right before work. Drove from Highland up to the Gateway parking lot just to squeeze me for five minutes and make sure I was alright before I walked into work.

Receiving a text like THIS. Nothing else needs to be said! :)

 Unpacking and cleaning my room...turning around to take a breather and seeing her.

 Looking out over the valley and reading scriptures at the end of our dates at this location.

 Going to my first day of school at The U and receiving uplifting texts from the BEST dad in this world....and cutest boyfriend I could ever ask for.

 As weird as this may sound, being pushed around and messed with... to a certain extent. Never have I enjoyed being white-washed. Somehow Mitchell makes everything funny and "OK" in life. I love who I am when I am with him.

The BIG 21 for my Aussie Girl

My Missionary turned 21 this past week!

She is doing good! 

But... I know for a FACT she would love to hear from anyone/everyone back home!

Email her, she had a tough one this past week....and I know she could use some love!

Wedding & New Years!

On our way to my cousin Taylor's wedding!

He still makes me laugh as hard as he did on our very first date.

I love you.

 So I guess I stand weird when I am not paying attention? "Like a duck" Stevee and Mitch say. He is impersonating me. What a sweetheart. Not.

We included Stevee in on our slow dances, third wheel problems. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR...

Mitch bought me nails on New Years :)

Oh, and he sat right by me throughout the whole process.

He may or may not have tweeted, "Stacey loves testing my masculinity." hahaha

Happy New Year friends and family!

This is a great year for all of us.

Love you all, and I hope your resolutions are still on track.

Temple Square with the Fielding's!

This was a big day for me!

Why?

I met Mitchell's only sister, Kristen. 

I had heard so much about her from the get-go and was so anxious to FINALLY meet this hilarious crack-up. (far left in the picture)

We ate some food at City Creek, and then walked around temple square. 

I have dated quite a few guys, I never knew I could like my boyfriends family SO MUCH. 

They are so much like my family and I have felt super comfortable since the beginning. 

Yes, I am grabbing Calvin by the chin. Hahahah! He is a handful. A cute one!

LOVE the Fielding's. 

LOVE MY MITCHELL! :)

Christmas 2013 was a hit!

Had fun with the little sister and her boyfriend sledding at Gorgoza Park in Park City, UT.

Can't forget to mention the interesting encounter we had with a protester doing his thing in a womens skirt on Highway 89.

Fast forward a few days to CHRISTMAS DAY!!

Nala found her new favorite hiding place!

Grandma and Grandpa came over for breakfast... we stuffed our faces so it was only fitting to take a distorted picture on the Mac...

But really, my family is beautiful inside and out. I am so blessed...

We went with a mustard yellow, piggy-back style christmas card this year! 

Mitch definitely gave me the sweetest present I have ever received. 100% heart-felt and thought out down to the way he titled the CD. He incorporated 5 of his favorite dates we have had, and told me why they meant a lot to him. Flowers, pictures, an electronic picture frame, candy, and more. I am one lucky girl!

Santa treated me well with some dang cute socks, scarves, nail polish and gift cards. 

To be honest, I have all I need & MORE!
