He Proposed!!!!

It finally happened! We are engaged to be married on 8.9.10! He took me to the mall to get me my Christmas present. He took me to build-a-bear :) He had never been, i think he had more fun then me! We made a moose with a Christmas dress and named her Holly. After when I though we were walking to the car. He took me to see Santa. We walked toward him and sat next to him. He asked me what i would like for christmas. I told him i wasn't sure. Santa tld me " How about surprises? Do you like surprises?" I told him " I love surprises!" He then looked at Jordan and asked him what he would like. Jordan replied "Well, there is one thing..." Then he got down on one knee and proposed! You can view the Proposal on youtube.com! just search : Jordan Sinquefield and Denise Van Leeuwen.

Thanksgiving!

We had 2 Thanksgiving dinners this year. WE WERE SO FULL! But, we had so much fun with both our families!

Visiting Colorado!!

We had so much fun visiting Jordan's parents! The video phone just never is enough! We were able to set up Christmas, go bowling, and play with Rufus!

Blackout U of U game!

We had a blast on Halloween! Cash and Carrie (the couple I work for) Gave us their tickets! We all had a blast. Joining us were my lovely parents along with Kimiko & Scotty! Sarah was there too and came and visited us for a bit! It was a blast and of course we won!

Carving Our Pumpkin!

We were bored one night and decided we needed to jazz up the sad boring pumpkin outside our door. We had lots of fun!

Halloween Party

Every year we have a Halloween party! Everyone is invited! All ages! We always have a blast! This year I was a Fairy and Jordan was Ron Burgundy from "Anchorman" ... if you couldn't tell... Hope YOU can join us next year :)

Freaky Fridays!

I was back with my performing studio "Clayton Prodctions" doing something we've never done before! HALLOWEEN PERFORMANCE! It was fun! After all, Halloween is my favorite holiday! So, I got to dress up as a zombie every friday night and perform at wheeler farm! I loved it and I can hardly wait for next year! Of course Jordan would come and watch me perform :)

SNOW!!!!

It snowed for the first time this season! It was sure cold today! It didn't snow in the valley but as you can tell from the picture ... it snowed lots in the mountains!!

the boys together again!

We all met up at chillies and enjoyed an AMAZING lunch! I enjoyed watching all the guys talk about all their inside jokes and stories of growing up.

Nightmare on 13th Job

I worked at nightmare on 13th all season last year... i loved it! i know!! i'm weird! Being the only person who was LDS, blonde, had no tattoos, no peircings, and didn't drink or smoke was kinda fun for me and them. they were all able to ask me questions and would always come to me to talk. i loved it :) I though i would try fitting it into my busy schedule of school and my two nannying jobs. After two nights i had to give up working at nightmare on 13th :(. In this picture i'm a zombie and the second night i was a witch. I miss it already!

I got my dancing shoes back on!

Jordan and i looking lively...

My mom and I...

Last night was my first time performing in A LONG TIME! Jordan and my mom came to support me. I had a blast! I can't wait to perform some more at wheelre farms "Freaky Fridays in October!

Bert & Ambers Wedding

It was a blast. There was dancing and food and friends! Who could ask for more! Amber looked beautiful and Bert looked handsome. They had a photo booth at the reception for everyone to take their picture. One would go in a book with a note from the people and the other the person would be able to keep.. i hope that made sense.. anyways. it was GREAT! Theses are the pictures we got. One is of Jordan, Mac, and dane and the other is of Jordan and I :)

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!

We were prepared and ready for our school day. Our first class started at 7AM and yes we were on time :)

Jordan's Softball game

For their first game they played last years undefeated team and they we're missing 2 players for most of the game. So.. it didn't go so well.. but, it's all up hill from here :) jordan is number 23 and his name is HOT BEEF.

Our First Kiss

When Jordan invited me to go with him to temple square.. i knew what he was thinkin about.. A first kiss... plus, my friend Kimiko might have hinted it to me a little.. (He would always call my friend Kimiko and ask for her opinions on stuff). I didn't want a cheesy temple square first kiss LAME! EVERYONE and their dog does that. SO all the times he tried i turned him down FLAT! i felt bad but.. i just didn't think it would be a cool first kiss... He didn't think i was interested in him anymore and thought of givin up on me... i can't believe he thought of such a thing! I invited him over the next day to play on my parents new mac computer. We played with the photo booth for.. FOREVER! But, we were having a blast.. suddenly a good idea popped into my head. I told him our next picture we're going to look like were kissing. He didn't see this coming!! I was about an inch from his face.. 1...2...3 As soon as the camera said three I kissed him! Thats rightladies and gents.. i did. His face was priceless after! He was quite confused. So the picture is of our first kiss!

How We Met

Jordan and i met before his mission. It was Brad, Jordan, Myself , and Sarah. We hung out till 5:00 in the morning. We had a blast. I'd never thought i'd see him again....He came back from his mission and came to my halloween party with our friend Brad! My dad said that he should get my number. We talked for a while then he mysteriously left. I went on Facebook that night and found him and messaged him my number telling him to text me. And so he did :) . I worked at a haunted house ( Nightmare on 13th) every night and i wouldn't get off till about 10 or 12:30. I would always be starving after and he would always meet me at my house and take me to get food. So our first date he took me to Wendy's. How romantic ha ha ha.. So he kept doing this.. So pretty much for the first while we were dating he had no idea what i looked like. He had the image of me from the first time we met and he could see pictures around the house. :) FINALLY the day came where he came over on a sunday and saw me with no halloween make up but, also no pretty make up. I thought this guy would for sure never talk to me again.. I went from really ugly to still really ugly. But, lucky for me he stayed around :)

Lagoooon

We had so much fun at Lagoon! We went with Kimiko and Scotty. We were able to witness Scotty's face after his first time on a roller coaster! IT WAS A HOOT! When we did the bounce back a week later Jordan and i got a Old tyme photo. It was jordan's idea to switch places. He wanted top be the saloon girl and have me be the cowboy.. Everyone in the photo place could not stop laughing. I couldn't either. After we went on a few rides Jordan told me he would win me a prize. I told him the games were lame adn no one ever wins. He showed me the game he one a 5 foot Yosimite Sam. Turns out he's really good at that game cause he won a cute tigger for me :) we had lots of fun!

Lake Powell!!!

Jordan was able to join my family and I in Lake Powell! We had a blast! We were sad when we had to leave, cause we're grown ups and we had to work! But, we loved every second we spent there!

They Finally Found Their Way Back!

We decided to finally go through with the plan of driving to Don Pedro's. Spencer and Jordan could not decide what to eat when they got there... They ended up getting too much food. But, they were please to be able to take it home and finish their Don Pedro's later that night...
