I will no longer be doing this... 2 times a year. My dentist (who is in my top 5 favorite people) has sold his practice I am devestated. I LOVE the dentist. My world is falling apart. I feel the need to eat lots of sugary goods.... and not brush my teeth. Happy Thursday. Lucky for me I am going to Texas with Jon this weekend to FINALLY witness George and Bethany get married. I am SO excited. I met Beta in Ghana 3 years ago and have been anxiously waiting for this day. Hopefully this will help heal my pain.

I FOUND IT...

The dress has been purchased!!!! Check that big "to do" off the list.

Christmas:

through cell phone pictures. More real ones to come.

5 months from today I will be a married woman, I should probably start planning.

The Proposal

So pretty much I don't have time to type details, here are the highlites:

Jon COMPLETELY surprised me.

I didn't answer him for a few seconds because I was SPEECHLESS.

I had cue cards and still struggled

The ring we are having made won't be ready for a few weeks

The ring he gave me is getting resized but will move to my right hand

It was PERFECT

I can't believe he pulled it off.

The UTES won!

His sister and brother in law helped with the whole thing

He knew this would be a perfect setting

It was FREEZING!

I repeatedly asked if he was being serious

He knew not to put it on the jumbotron during the game

Apparently I saw the ring box a few days before...

I can't believe it really happened

There is video footage of this whole event

Im thankful for the footage because otherwise I wouldn't have remembered what happened

Jon was prepared for me to pass out

I finally said YES

He accomplished his goal of having it be a complete surprise

The plan is we are getting married on MAY 15th!

HOLY CRAP I'M ENGAGED!

I hope you enjoyed the condensed version. I still am trying to figure out what happened. More details to come when I remember them or watch the video again.

INTRODUCING.......

The future Mr and Mrs. Hansen.

More details to come.

I am one lucky girl...

I got a visit from a cute boy *randomly at work who didn't want to show up empty-handed so he brought me these for no reason at all. I was speechless.

*I honestly had no idea. He told me he was one his way to work. We were walking out the door to go visit a patient. My boss stepped out the door and had this look on her face. I locked the door and stepped out to see him walking down the hall with flowers and a big smile. He's the one who had a big test today. Shouldn't I be the one doing something for him? How lucky am I...

Dear October, Where did your friend September go? Even though you snuck up on me, I am glad you are here. Here is what I look forward to you bringing me:

• More football games
• General Conference
• a VIDA reunion?
• watching my baby brother turn one year older
• the marriage of the final friend (and the best one... I'm the winner, I held out the longest!)
• Possible snow
• Crisp fall mornings
• Possibly hearing from a grad school or two
• more fun times
• one month closer to 2010
• Colors changing
• a trip to San Fran
• a new employee in my office (I am so excited!)
• HALLOWEEN!!
• and hopefully peace of mind about a few life decisions.

Thank you for coming. Please be nice to me and don't go too fast. Your other 9 friends flew by and I'm not sure I'm ready for 2009 to be over, it's been too fun! Your friend, Aubrey

I've got the travel bug again....

"The thrill of going NEW places is ADDICTIVE. You do it once, you want to do it FOREVER." -Edwin Santos "An airport is a high-way that takes us from the IMAGINED to the REAL." Too bad I have to wait until 2010 to go anywhere.... let the countdown begin. 15 weeks until 2010!

Those who bring sunshine into the lives of others, cannot keep it from themselves. -J.M. Barrie

Go UTES! It is officially my favorite time of year... utah football starts today! I will be on the field like I have been the last 2 years. Can't think of any place I'd rather be.

Update.

How much did it cost to save my leg?

Roughly...  $6215.00

Gotta love  the ridiculous price of medical care.

Lucky for me I was only responsible for 50%.

I'm extremely grateful for...

my job

crappy insurance

double coverage 3/4 of the way through this process

the small amount of financial responsibilities I have

my leg

Another reason why I love being an adult! (insert sarcasm here)

*Total cost of MY Peru trip (even though I still refuse to blame it on the wonderful country of Peru....) 

just shy of $9,000 

Worth it? YOU BET!

BUTT....

I was SO excited to see this movie. 

I dragged Jon to it (with the help of some of his friends. Thanks Hannah and Amy!) 

I have to say I was a little disappointed. 

WAY too many butt shots.

Kind of a weird story, not exactly what I thought it would be

some things that still don't make sense.

 LOVE Rachel McAdams.

Eric Bana could have looked better. 

Waste of my time?

 What else was I really going to do at 10:30 on a saturday night?

And I got to see Hannah and Amy.... 

and spend time with Jon!

Red Pine Hike

It was an amazing hike, the lake was a beautiful color and it wasn't too hot (it actually rained on us a bit but it was nice) I love hiking! It actually made me want to go camping. Oh how I love the outdoors. Sorry the picture is fuzzy, it was taken on a cell phone.
