i heart him.

my {soon to-be} husband rocks.

we "babysat" eric's nieces and nephew saturday night
we got done at like 10:30. we were way hungry.
so we went to taco bell and got our regulars.
{bean burrito, chicken chalupa, tacos, crunch wrap supreme, and a pep...}

we got home, and decided to have a picnic.
i walked out of the room speedy quick before we ate.

and came back to eric saying, "turn around and close your eyes."

so i did.

he took me to his room and opened the door.
i opened my eyes and found a nice candlelit dinner catered by taco bell.
right there on his bedroom floor.


SO cute.
i almost died.


isn't he the best?

i think so.

fyi...

this is our count down chain.
it's zebra print.
my {adorable} sister-in-law(soon to-be), angie made it for us. :)

there are 59 more days til the wedding.

and i am really {really} excited.
(the chain is shorter than ^ that now)

i hope it goes fast.
and i hope all of this stupid planning ends soon.
{cause it's already getting super old}.

it feels like time is kinda frozen.
but i'm having so much fun being engaged!

oh. p.s.

me and eric never {like, ever} take pics together...

but here are some ones of us for proof that eric really does exist.

{i'm not just making him up}

here are some silly ones
just for kicks.

first pic of 2010..

my personal fav. ;)
he's hot.

the end.

i did have a {prettyfreaking long} post done, and posted.

it was about how pretty my wedding dress was.
and how fun it was trying it on..etc. ya know....

but eric made me delete it.
why you ask?...

because he didn't want there to be any temptation for him to peep it before the big day...

so....
there is no longer a post about my beautiful dress, or the fun time i had picking it out,
or how its completely insane that i am getting married in like 70 days..!
(thats a whole other story..)
but...
i love him.
like....A LOT.

and i can't wait to marry him.

The Engagement Saga...

So..

i am engaged!

we have been dating for 5 weeks... kinda crazy right?
well.. we had been talking about marriage before,
and we both knew it was going to happen.
the question was when...
i knew he wasn't going to ask me for christmas
that is just not how eric rolls..
it's too cliche'.

i expected it to be in like january, or february
then have a wedding in the beginning of april,
and things would be tight.

but eric ruined all of my plans i had previously made....

the plan was:

we would drive to cottonwood on wednesday (dec. 16)
and he would ask big bad scott to marry yours truely.

but instead, this is how it went down...

after i got off work he picked me up and we headed to c-wood.
he told me before that we had to make a pit stop in fountain hills to "show" some guy this 3 million dollar home.

we pulled up to the house
and eric told me he was just going to put the key somewhere so the guy could find it etc..
so i stayed in the car.

a little bit later he came back and said the guy "called" him and told him he was running late,
so he asked if i wanted to come in and check the house.
of course i said yes.

it was way funny cause now, looking back i could tell he was way jumpy
now i know why....
he had the ring box in his back pocket the whole time...
and didn't want me to see it. haha

so.. we look through this house,
and we get to the balcony that has an amazing view!

and we are just checking it...
on the balcony railing there sat some flowers..
(that i didn't even notice til after eric pointed them out to me)
and i was phased!

i totally was content with just getting flowers!
after i grabbed them..i turned around
and there was eric holding the ring box heading down to the one knee position.......

"shut up"
that's what i said as soon as i realized what he was doing. haha

he popped the question
and i {finally} said yes
after he asked,"so..is that a yes?"
taken 10 seconds after i said "yes." :)

i totally didn't expect it at all!
but i am SO excited to be engaged to the most awesome guy on the planet!

First Comes Love.....

remember this cutie?

well... HE PROPOSED!!

That's right, this girl is ENGAGED!!!

(all details to come this weekend)

There's This Girl I Know....

So..
I apologize for not updating my bloggity blog...
my creative juices just aren't flowing like I want them to lately

there are a few things I guess I should update you all on.

some things never change...
I still live at my Aunt Leisha's house (my poor aunt).
I still {hate} work{ing} at The Buckle..


so, there is this girl i know..
and she {some may say-FINALLY} has herself a boyfrien
she told me his name is Eric.
and he is {seriously} SOO awesome!!
she thinks it's getting pretty serious..(her words not mine)

Here is the first, and ONLY picture of the couple..



Here is Eric.
isn't he just super cute?!
i think...i mean, this girl sure thinks so :)

*he's perfect*

480-Bound....Once Again

That's right folks
This girl is moving back to Mace-izzle.

I am working at Buckle (for the 2nd time).
But I'm so excited to get out of {awesome} Cottonwood.
Even though that means I'd no longer see my family everyday.
I am A-OK with that. Honestly. (Sorry fam)

For the people I've told-
I hear there are bets going.
Like ones about me getting married in the 2k10......
4 words: I. Don't. Think. So. :) (Eric...)

I promise I am going to school in January.
MCC baby!
I can't wait to get my booty down there. Cottonwood just doesn't have anything to offer me anymore-I don't even know if it did to begin with. haha
Plus the 15 minute drive to and from work-slash-into town gets old real fast.

I'll visit. Probably{not}often, but enough.
And that's ok cause I don't think anyone would miss me that much anyway :)

Moving day is October 7th.
a.k.a in 5 days! :)

Sooo..Peace out C-wood!
I probably won't miss you.
