I decided it was time to start up a Journal!! I have read through a few and they are so neat and interesting to see how everyone met and how the planning is coming along!!

How we met:

Kyle and I met at work..we worked different shift him 3-11pm me 11pm-9am..I did not care for him the first time I met him. He made some smart comment to me without evening knowing me. Then I started relieving him at work and we would chat and end up talking for hours before he would leave. Come to find out he was almost 2 years younger then me. He eneded up moving to a differnt location then I was working so I didn't get to see him much. myself and a friend found him on AIM and started chatting with him. ended up calling me and came over and the rest is history. We have been together ever since..that was 4 years ago. We have had our ups and downs but in the end it was all worth it.

the proposal:

It was 7:30am( I did not know the time at first)..I was sleeping really hard.. we didn't get to bed until after 1am. I felt my dogs jumping on my bed and I woke up to yell at them ( I am not a morning person).. I saw Kyle standing at the end of the bed playing with my dog and started getting upset with him, telling him to stop I was trying to sleep. I then noticed that there was something hanging around my dogs neck. (I did not have my contact or glasses on so I didn't know what it was) Kyle came around the bed and got down on one knee and took the ring off the ribbon around the dogs neck. Kyle then asked me If I would marry him. Well I GUESS, He had to ask me twice because I WAS to busy asking him where and when he got the ring hahaha..and of course I said yes!!!! I then realized what time it was and couldnt even call my mom because she was on her way into work! I had to wait a whole hour before I could start making Phone calls!!!

Wedding plans:
We are getting Married Oct. 3rd 2009. We are getting married in the church my parents got married in, We booked our reception in the Grand Ball room at The Comfort Inn..it is soooo beautiful..I haven't been able to find pictures of it yet but when I do I will put some up. I have my bridesmaid dresses picked out and have 2 maids of honor and 8 bridemaids, 3 flower girls and 1 ring bearer. FH has 2 bestmen and 8 groomsmen. Our colors are Pink and brown.

Well that is it for now..I am sure there will be more when I can think of it!! welcome to my Journal!!:D

Your ring looks alot like mine which is a true 1950's vintage (It was my grandmothers). I also love your bridesmaid dresses, have you found your dress yet??

I haven't even looked for dresses yet really..I have a few Idea of what I do like but..I have started Weight Watchers and don't want to try on dresses until I have reach 1/2 my goal...don't know what size I will be by then!! So..I will hold off on that for a few more months..I figure if I find something by January I will have over 10 months for it to get in! :D

I can't even imagine how fast a year goes by!! We have been Engaged over a month now and it feels like just yesterday!!!!!I feel like I am WAY ahead of the game! People keep saying..." your going to get everything done then be bored way before the wedding.".! Umm Hellllo...I don't want to be stressing before the wedding!!! there is still plenty of things I can't do right until close to the wedding so I am sure that I won't be bored or sick of wedding planning!!!!

Also, I am in 2 of my best Friends wedding next year...one in July and one in August...really that takes 2 weeks out of my planning for the wedding so I need to get what I can done and be able to enjoy and have fun at their weddings!!!!!!!

what do you guys thing of this hairstyle. I really like itt!!

So I haven't been on in a little while...only for the fact that life has been totally crazy in the past 2 weeks! My sister had her baby girl on the 21st!!!! So I really haven't been home much to get on and browse and comment!! I was able to experience the whole birth which was amazing!! So hopefully I will be able to be on more!!
