We're Engaged!!!

Hi all I am so excited to tell everyone that Chris and I are engaged!!! It happened yesterday December 5, 2008. Chris and I decided to take Tuck to shadow cliffs to go for a walk, like we normally do. My brother called and wanted to go fishing so Chris thought he would just bring his fishing poll to join in. Then Melissa called and wanted to come to with Tate and Bauer. So we all met about 2:30 and went walking down to the water. We were all just talking have a good time while the dogs were being more annoying than usual. Kyle and Chris started fishing and then Chris offered me a turn to try. He told me to hold the poll for him while he put an easier bait on so I could actually catch something. And I did....he told me to reel up the line so I did and on the end was a dangling little red box. I seriously thought he was kidding so I gave him a look...(the you better not be playing a joke on me look). He told me to open it and when I did there was a perfect diamond ring and Chris down on one knee with tears in his eyes. He asked me to marry him then I started crying and of course said yes. It was the best moment of my life. God has truly blessed me. After Melissa took a few pictures Chris had one more thing to show me. He had carved A+C with a heart around it and December 5, 2008 in a tree by the water. I will post picture as soon as I get them from Mel. Until then here is what I found when I opened my big catch.

I love you Chris!

"tis the season."

That's right folks...tis the season to be jolly. It is the holidays and I love it. I feel like it is finally acceptable for me to start listening to Christmas music!!! I love Christmas music! Yes I know it is not thanksgiving till Thursday, but still...tis the season! Here is a picture I found that is oh so flattering and oh so seasonal! Can't wait till tacky Christmas colors and decorations are back!!! Hopefully Mel-Bo, D-Bo, and T-Bo will have another fantastic tacky sweater party! Oh yeah....2 more weeks of school!!! Wooptydoo!!!

Good Morning Charlie.... Good Morning Angels!

Halloween....better late than never. I finally will post some Halloween pictures. The Wednesday night before I went to the high school ministry's Halloween bash at Tim's. All the leaders were encouraged to dress up so I was one of Charlie's Angels. The others were Kori and Jen. We made a fine trio. People would ask who we were and we would tell them to ask Charlie. He would tell them... "They're my angels."

FFL hello!

Terrific Trio

Charlie and his Angels

We love you Charlie

Friends with the paper boy.

On a mission.

Kristy:)

Boss wasn't happy.

I met Cinderella.

This was Charlie and Jason's Birthday Dinner.

Sarah that is not a silly face.
Why am I the only one who looks retarded?

Crap.

Obama won.....SERIOUSLY!?!

It's the little things in life.

Can I just tell you how wonderful my brother Kyle is? He might have you all fooled by his silliness but he is in deed a wonderful guy! Growing up he wasn't so wonderful he used to play nasty smelly tricks on me and Chantal, but he has certainly come a long way.

I got home from school Thursday evening and left on the kitchen table were three dozen pink roses and a note that said: For my girls, Love Kyle. I was so blessed by this random act of sweetness that I seriously almost cried. I just appreciate little things in life that are so filled with love.

I love you big brother!!!

Aren't they Lovely!?!

Nobody puts big Tuck in the corner.

Life has been busy lately with dance recitals, birthday parties, and school. Luckily I am halfway done with the quarter!!! Wohoo. And Tuck just got his last shot!!! Now he is going to get fixed...so sad yet wonderful. Tomorrow is Halloween for the high school ministry so I will be dressing up. I will give you a hint. It involves Me, Jen, Kori, Charlie, wings, and guns. I will post pics later. Here are some pics from my phone of Big Tuck.

Just learned to hop on the bed.

This is how he asks for me to rub his belly.

Watch big tuck lay.

Watch big tuck sit.

That freaking camera!!!

So guys my camera is still broken, but I have found some extremely random pics for you to enjoy..

Not many pictures with broken camera.

Sleepin' is what he does best!

Catchin some more zzz's.

A new dog tag.

A little frustrated with my stupid camera cause I can't take pictures to post. I need to get that thing fixed but with school and work and everything else that goes along with it getting the camera fixed is challenging. Hopefully this weekend it will happen.

So school is good but busy this quarter. I have five classes on Tuesday and Thursdays and am there from 9:30 to 9:30. Long days but fun classes. I have officially applied to graduate in the Winter of 2009 and am all set to do so. Very excited to get a real job and not be so poor.

Tuck is growing (22 pounds and counting) and getting smarter. These are some things he can do now.
~Sit
~Stay
~Shake
~Lay down
~go potty only outside
~Walk beside me with out a leash - if I get too far in front of him he cries!! So cute!
~He comes when I call him - he finally knows his name!

I love my boy Tuck!

Take me out to the ball game..

Friday night I was lucky enough to go to the A's game for free with Chad, Jen, and Allison. Chad got the tickets and was kind enough to share the wealth. We appreciate it. The game was fun we sat super close and there were fireworks!! I love going to baseball games!! So fun!! As you know the "couzo crew" birthday bash was Saturday and was very fun. I will post pics of that soon. My camera was tweaking out so I had to use D-Bo's.
