WEDDING UPDATE!!

So we finally picked the date we are getting married!!! It is going to be Saturday July 10, 2010... has an awesome ring to it huh!?! We decided that we are going to do the ceremony at Daniel's Summit so we can have the pretty waterfall, flowers and trees in our pics. Then we are going to have the reception at Strawberry resevoir which is only 15 mins away. That way we can have my pretty ceremony and then have the fun, party, outdoorsy reception, it will be AWESOME!!! We are going to have a joint bachlor/bachlorette party, but have one night away(which will be the Friday before the wedding). My girls and both moms are going to drive up to Daniel's summit on the 9th and have a girls night and get massages and the guys are going to drive up to Strawberry in the trailers and have their own little party up there then get ready in the trailers and drive down in the morning for the ceremony, while the girls get ready in the nice, fancy rooms at Daniels. I have looked at cakes, dresses, and everything else online but not in person yet. I don't want to plan too much stuff and not have anything to do when it gets closer except get anxious and want to speed time up so I am planning it slowly. I REALLY want to go try on wedding dresses, but don't at the same time because I want to lose more weight first. It still feels like a dream that I am actually engaged and am supposed to be planning a wedding :). I look at my ring ALL THE TIME just to make sure that it is not a dream. It is sooo weird too, whenever I look at my ring I can't help but grin ear to ear. I know Dave and I were meant to be and we will be together for FOREVER. He is stuck with me now BWAHAHAHA. Well wish me luck on my wedding planning!

He Proposed!!!

The ring

So on Thursday Dave and I went camping up at Vernon. I was sooo glad to finally get a break from work! Thursday we got there at 7:30 PM and just sat around the campfire with Dave's parents. On Friday (best day that weekend) we went on a couple rides on the ranger, but came back to camp to hang out by the fire cause it was cold. At around 1:30 that afternoon Dave asked me how much I loved him and if I wanted my surprise... which I thought was a movie or CD for Easter. He went to our truck and pulled on Jason Michael Carroll's CD, it has our song on there and I have been wanting to get it for ever now but keep forgetting. Kaylene(dave's mom) was like "I have never heard of him before, you should go turn on your song". Then saw another song on there she wanted to listen to so I turned that one on first. Dave was like "this isn't our song, you should go turn on our song", so I walked back into the trailer and turned it on. I sat down next to the fire and started singing the song to myself and Dave asked me again how much I loved him and if I would love him forever, then he got down on one knee, pulled the ring out and asked if I would marry him!!!!! I was SOOOO shocked, I even asked him if he were serious LOL. The ring is beautiful! It is one that my mom and I looked at and I told Dave about but never thought he would get me. He later told me that he had been planning this for a couple months and had bought the ring a week and a half ago, but was going to do it up at our friends' property next to a waterfall on memorial day... but he knew I couldn't wait that long and neither could he. He was supposed to wait till later that night to propose when both his sisters came up, but he was too excited and couldn't wait any longer!!! I am sooo exstatic and can't wait to start planning the wedding. We don't have a for sure date yet... we know either june or july of NEXT YEAR (so I can lose all my fat!!) We want to find a place first and ask what days they have available in those months and make a decision from there. Wish me luck and any advice would help

Pics

pics from our Easter party!

Early Easter-Egg hunt

So on Sunday my mom had a family easter egg hunt. It was so much fun! We got there at about 4 and were the last ones to get there even though it started at 4:30. My family ALWAYS runs late so that was weird for everyone to be on time. My mom had two of my three brothers come, my neices, and my aunt and uncle. She had us a play a couple little games that everyone loves LOL!! She made a really nice prime rib and bake potato dinner.... YUMMY! Then after that the kids went outside and looked for those plastic eggs that she had filled with candy, quarters, or paper that said a prize one it. Then after that they painted a couple eggs and we ate eclairs and everyone went home. It was a lot of fun even though she played those cheezy games!

Trouble on the road

Have I ever told you that I love my truck... except for the fact that the windshield wipers pick and choose when they want to work, and today was one of those days. Dave says the motor is going out on my windshield wipers and has been wanting to fix it, but I told him not to worry about it because I thought that it was going to start warming up... boy was I wrong!!! It was a blizzard when I woke up this morning and there was already an accident outside our house. So I waited till about 9:40 AM to take Kruz to his daycare which is seriously 5 mins away. I let the truck warm up and scraped off the snow and ice and turned on my wipers to get the rest of the water off... and of course they didnt' work, so I pulled on them while they were on and they started working. So I got Kruz in his carseat and left. I turned my wipers off before I pulled out just cause they didnt' need to be on anymore. Started driving and the snow from my hood started blowing on my windshield and making lots of water and slush build up, so I turned my wipers on again... guess what THEY DIDN'T WORK! I couldn't see anything out of my windshield so I looked for a good place to pull off to see what I could do. A split second later the car on the side of me started honking to get my attention. I looked out of a little part of the windshield that didn't have water on it and saw a semi truck making his way in front of me, almost clipping the side of my door and hood. I slammed on my brakes and pulled off immediatly. Kruz was freakin out and so was I! I opened my door when all the cars had passed to see if I could get my wipers to work again, and they didn't. An off duty cop pulled off and asked if I needed help and I told him what was going on, he couldn't get them working either, so he told me to roll down my window and follow him to kruz's school. I waited at Kruz's school for 10 mins to let the defroster get all the slush and ice off the windshield and headed home. The way back wasn't bad since all the snow from the hood was gone. Dave is going to fix the motor tonight so I don't have another near death experience. I know I am probably being over dramatic, but I don't know what would have happened if that car next to me didnt' honk. I drive a big truck, but a semi could do major damage and could have seriously hurt me or Kruz. Lets all think warm thoughts so this weather starts warming up... Summer needs to come and fast!
