And Then......

Travis went to the grocery store and brought me home flowers.  =)  Purple ones.  What a great husband!  

SO ROMANTIC!!!

So.....tonight Travis and I decided to go running outside in the heat!  It was so hot and I was super dehydrated as the last thing I drank was diet dr. pepper.  
We were about finished up and Travis caught up to me (not because I was running fast but because he ran way ahead of me then all the way back).  We then started walking and  I said we really need to get this running into gear.  He said ya especially since we are running 6 miles in two weeks.  I said you are cause I haven't signed up yet.  He said we will sign you up and I am running with you.  I said you don't have to because I will slow you down.  Then he told me that he was running the half marathon with me.  I said no way dude I don't want to hold you back.  Travis then said no I want to run it with you that way we can run a half marathon together.  That really made me smile so I thought I would share this with everyone.  I hope this is my last post on this blog (hint Travis hint).  I hope all of you have had a great week.  And I hope you have a great weekend!

We have clear TV!!!

I will talk about our wedding however I am waiting for more pics to post.  Also I think Travis and I are going to have a joint blog so our wedding would be a perfect opening blog.  =)

So I didn't have cable in my apartment because I don't watch TV that much and the shows I do watch are on the regular stations so cable would be a waist of 80 bucks a month.  Not having cable was fine but the stations were always really fuzzy and we were always adjusting the antenna.  Well....Travis =) got a digital converter and hooked it up and all of our seven channels are clear!!!!  Thats right guys!!!!  This means in September we can watch the office in clear picture.  

Next weekend I am getting Baptized.  Travis is going to be the one Baptizing me and also doing my confirmation.  Travis' parents are coming in to town for this event as well as my parents and my friends.  

It was rough going back to work after our Utah trip.  I really wished we had scheduled more time to stay because we were really enjoying spending time with family and it was nice to be somewhere different.  My first official day back was Friday and it was horrible.  I have training the rest of this week so tomorrow I am going to go with a smile and take a few deep breaths.  I think my new position and everything that has been going on with the wedding and getting ready for my Baptism has been a roller coaster of events and emotions.  Not a bad thing but it can really cause one to loose focus.  My goal this week is to gain some stability back and incorporate my happiness with that so I can stay positive.  

I have not been running in one week!  Thats right a whole week.  I feel so lazy and am anxious to get back into our routine.  My official half marathon training starts tomorrow so I need to get with it!  We live on the third floor of our apartments so the past few days my body has been telling me get to running!!!  My legs are about to fall off haha.  

This is all for now...there are pictures on super blogger Lori's page of the wedding.  Hopefully next time I blog it will be on our joint blog.  =)  Oh and we will have pictures.  Till next time I hope everyone has a fulfilling week!

My hair is a mess
It matches my dress
It is literally white as can be
I called my friends
They told me Trendz
And I am still not happy
They open at nine
This is just in time
To make my white hair blonde
I will give them a second chance
And hopefully a victory dance
Will come and I will be fond

Only a few
Till I'm on flight two
Then all the fun will start
I hope things go well
And nothing will fail
And Travis won't start to fart (sorry dude I wanted to rhyme hehe)

I'M ENGAGED!!!!!!!!

Yes that is right I am engaged.  Travis really put a lot of thought and love into his proposal making it unforgettable and so romantic.  

I got home from working my sixty hour week and Travis had cleaned up my apartment and put flowers on the table.  He had Cheesecake Factory's Chicken Tostada Salad with the best spinach artichoke dip ever!!!!!  We ate dinner then talked on the couch and let our food settle before we dug into the Chocolate fudge Brownie with Vanilla ice cream.  He wouldn't let me go into my bedroom so I was curious the whole time.  The time then came when he let me go into my bedroom.  When I opened the door there was a red carpet laid out which ended at a standing floor mirror that I have wanted for a long time!  On either side of the red carpet were stands which held pictures and candles on the right and purple flowers and candles on the left.  He sat me down and had our three favorite songs playing.  The first picture was a picture of us and people from work before we ever really hung out or anything.  In fact at that time we didn't even really know each other that well.  He related that to one of our songs and told me what the picture meant with our songs.  He then went on to the next picture and each picture with what he said to me was like a timeline of our relationship.  I could recap our whole relationship and feel how strong of a connection we have always had as well as how happy we are.  
On the other side he had all the cards and poems I had written him as well as what he had given me.  
When I first told Travis I loved him I felt so strong about it I had a little trouble just coming out and saying it.  Because I was so nervous I wrote down how I felt and went through the pages and had him read it out loud.  Well....he had those papers that I wrote and had me read what I wrote to him.  He then made his own papers which he read to me and at the end he asked me to MARRY HIM!  Of course I said yes.  I was so happy and filled with so much emotion I am getting teary eyed right now.  Then....he bought two mirrors because he didn't know which color I wanted but anyways it was part of his plan hehe.  He put the mirrors together and told me to look into them and asked me what I saw.  I said well the mirrors keep going.  He said well this resembles us for eternity!  I was so moved and completely touched.  He then said we are unified in which he brings this box and it's a DIAMOND NECKLACE!!!!!  I could not believe it.  He wanted to surprise me with something!  The spinach artichoke dip was a surprise to me that evening I couldn't believe he did all this and then bought me a necklace!  Travis then put the ring on my finger.  The ring is absolutely stunning!  He recapped so much and made me feel so special.  I am so blessed and super excited for our future.  I prayed for my husband since I was fifteen and I believe that God gave him to me in the most extraordinary way.  I have always believed in prayer and now I am blessed with a spouse who will pray with me, go to church, raise a family with values and a healthy spiritual home.  I get to share my life with someone who is appreciative for everything he has, loving, spiritual, smart, and ridiculously good looking hehehe.  I am so excited.  
With all the excitement we decided that the best time for us to get married would be at his family reunion.  Soooo.....two weeks from tomorrow I am getting married!  Tomorrow I am going to look for a dress and then Travis and I are going to go to the movies =).  Well well.....Ohhhhh I almost forgot.  The Sunday after Travis proposed he spend all day making a book with pictures and everything he said to me.  We now will have a book which we can share with everyone so they can see just how incredible it was.  

I hope everyone has a great weekend!
