the BIG 100!!

Yes.

It's true.

Only 100 more days 'til I get to marry the love of my life!

Just scream a little bit..AHH!!

This last week has just seemed to be so stressful for me. Between jobs and bills I can't seem to even come up for air. It seems like it will never end and I'm starting to stress about how we're going to pay off everything by the wedding. But I know things will all work out. Last night I just felt so exhausted and overwhelmed with everything. I try to keep my emotions inside because I'm rather crazy and frightening when I let them out. Tyler and I spent an hour just cuddling on the couch listening to songs we're going to play at the wedding. When I'm with him I feel safe and that nothing can ever bring me down. I know that he will always be there for me. I love him so much and am so grateful that I've weathered the storms I had to find the love of my life.

In the life of.. - updates!

Oh golly.

There's so much going on lately. Between jobs, bills, money (or lack there of), health of our pups, and wedding planning, we are starting to go a little crazy. ^^'

But even in the craziness life has to offer we still love each other.

*echo* [ awwww! ] *echo*

We're both looking for work these days. We're hoping to find something that is more stable; where we feel like we are going somewhere with the company. And with these ridiculous gas prices, something close to home would be exceptional!

[ I've got my fingers crossed on one that's close by, walking distance and it's what I WANT to do. ]

[ [ wish me luck! ] ]

As for our bills, it will take awhile but our main goal is to get rid of our debt ASAP! It is horrible feeling trapped by not having money for things you need.

Yes I have learned, WANT vs. NEED.. Needs win the battle.

We took our pups in for a little vet visit.

Bentley is all rabies vaccinated and his puppy shots are up to date. He's been limping a bit so we were concerned about that. We figured "growing pains" because they're known to the short stubby legs of a basset. When we discussed it with the vet he said it could be that or a problem with the cartlidge in his joints and to keep a look at it for 2 weeks while giving him inflammitories. Luckily the drugs have helped and he's acting like a normal puppy.

As for Gabbit, he was due for his annual. He also has had a lump on the left side of his stomach for the past few months. It has been freaking me out since I've noticed it. I love my Gab and would be miserable without him. The vet took a sample and told us that it's just a fatty tumor. It's not dangerous to his health unless it changes and becomes hard so we'll have to keep an eye on it.

And for wedding planning, we're pretty set on everything, just gotta make the payments on it all! It's coming so fast and we're extremely happy! It took sometime getting a date that worked for our friends and family, and I do find it as a blessing for the day that finally worked. It's a holiday weekend which will make it easier to take a honeymoon and less time off of work. I can't wait!!

We have our engagement photo session with Sharon from Smiles on April 11th. I'm so giddy!!

With everything going on we still make sure we have time to spend with each other! We're happy the weather is finally starting to warm up so we can take our kiddos out for walks!

Well that's the scoop of our lives..

Life couldn't be any better & we love it!!

Valentine's Day!!

We had a fun Valentine's Day!!

I know, super late in posting.

Here's the delicious cake we got.

With tasty chocolate covered strawberries.

Coconut cake with caramel filling.

The Proposal

Tyler decided to surprise me on Christmas night..

I had gone off to my room for some reason or another.
(I remember a migraine, Tyler remembers me having a fit.)

He came in and got on one knee with one of my moms QVC rings. I seriously thought he was joking because he had been teasing me about it for the few days prior. I rolled my eyes and he went back out to the living room. I followed to find Tyler holding our puppy, Bentley, with a big black and white bow and flower.

He then knelt on one knee where I saw the ring we had looked at prior in the month tied to the flower..MY ring!

He then asked me to marry him!!

Of course I said yes!!



I'm so ecstatic!! And can't wait to marry this amazing man!!
