WE'RE ENGAGED!!!

Yes that's right folks! Kurtis proposed! I wanted to take this moment to apologize that this is just now getting posted...we've been engaged since Thursday! I was very surprised! I mean, we were making plans, but I didn't have a clue when he was going to propose and even during his proposal I was still oblivious! It was so cute! He put a bandana around our (well more my) dog Dozer and strung the ring on the bandana. Well, I was upstairs getting ready for our co-ed softball game later that night and he came up to the top of the stairs and asked me when I'd want to start telling people we were engaged. Well, I thought it was kind of a random question, but didn't think anything of it so I just told him I don't know and asked why. So then he asked the question again. This time I stopped and still said I didn't know and then asked, "Why, do you have a ring or something?" He said, "Maybe..." So then I was confused but still not really paying attention to my surroundings. The thing was, Kurtis was looking down at the dogs pretty much the whole time we were talking!! So, finally he calls Dozer's name and I look down and lo and behold there's the ring! I was so excited that I didn't even really say yes! I said "Yay!" and then we put the ring on (which is completely gorgeous!!). About a couple hours later, I realized I never actually gave him an answer, so I told him (in case he didn't already know) that my answer was yes. So...all in all it was a very sweet proposal and funny at the same time because I didn't even get what was going on!

I'm so excited!! We don't have an exact date set just yet, but we're hoping for August so this will be a stress filled time while I plan, but luckily have a lot of people willing to help! I can't believe we're getting married and I feel so very lucky to have such an amazing guy that I'll get to spend eternity with!

Weekend Fun

Yes.... we are still alive. It's been a while but nothing exciting really has been going on in our lives much. We play in a softball league on Thursday nights but other than that nothing has really been worthy of blog material. If you ever want to laugh your guts out you should come watch the coed league on Thursday's that we play in. It's amazing. Anyways this weekend was good times in Roy. Every year Kurtis' work does this charitable deal where they choose 5-10 employee's to go to Guatemala and build a school and get some school supplies for the kids. To raise money for the deal they have a bowl-a-thon and it gets a bit crazy. This year we made our own shirts. We went and bought some white shirts from Walmart and a tie dye kit and went at it. We bowl once a year at that so it's obviously for fun. It was really fun though. We got a TON of great prizes including Kurtis getting a 3 month pass to Gold Gym.... and a few coupons for some dry cleaning... so the raffle God's think we are fat and dirty... awesome!

Pearson

Christina gave me the good idea to create a shrine for Lil P. Those of you who know my sister Kasie will enjoy this one. Those who don't... well... just enjoy the pic then. Pearson Hadley was born on April 3rd and shares his birthday with Nicole!! yeah!!! He was born 5 weeks early and weighed 4 lbs 10 ounces. He is still in the NICU but doing much better. No offense to anyone but usually I think babies are UUUUUUUUUUUUUUGLY... but check this kid out! He is rad...

When Dogs Attack PT 2

Nicole got those punching balloons for her birthday and so she brought them home from work and we went out back with Daisy and Dozer.... Good times

Every once in a while Dozer our American Bulldog gets in this mood where everything and anything that Nicole does bugs him so he repeatedly jumps on her. We were watching either The First 48 or Intervention and we had to take a little break because Dozer went psychotic. It was pretty entertaining.

Fun in the sun

We got back from Europe on the 11th of November and left on Nov 18 to Maui with Nicole's family for a week. I really don't know of any better way to spend Thanksgiving. It was rad. The week we were back was a week from hell. We were buying a condo in Perry and we were going to be doing our own flooring. We had to get the floor done by the time we left on the 18th. It was a crazy week but with the help of Rich who did our ENTIRE tile and with Nicole's brother and dad we got the wood done. It was so nice to finally be able to sit and relax on a beach for a week. November was an exciting month for us!!


THIS is why I'm hot


Getting ready to go up. I am pretty much soiling myself at this point

Cruisin Times

One week in our singles ward (yes..... singles ward... yuk) a beautiful spirited young lady stood up and said they were going on a cruise to Europe and needed a big group to go with so they could get some sort of group discount. So we thought about it for oh......3 minutes and decided we needed to go.... BAD..... Europe half off... it was a no brainer. Well long story short.... the entire group backed out except for us and we still got the big discount. So we went on our Mediterranean (?? I went to box elder so please excuse the spelling) criuse which began in Spain and went on to France and finally Italy. We went from Nov. 2-11th 2007. It was my first cruise and it was awesome. All except the final day of cruising. We were cruising back to Spain the entire day and it was windy and well..... you get the picture. We can forget that day. It was a good time had by all though!
