Said Yes Pictures...

Stealing His Last Name.. Yup..Engaged.

Yesterday.. January 4th.

Was just a typical Wednesday.. aka Hump Day. You are finally over the hump of the week.

I had known for awhile that Kelly had the ring and I just was itching to finally get to wear it. Although he was nervous about it.. I mean come on who would be nervous of asking "Marry Me?" ..thinking.. okay probably the whole male population..

but anywho.. I was off to work at Dance Image. It was a long day of teaching and the girls were kind of driving me batty. In between my classes I looked at my phone and Kelly had texted me. "Do you want to go to Cafe Rio tonight?" I just was thinking yes something good is coming from this day.

He picked me up after work and we headed to Cafe Rio. But on our way he said we were going to Ice Skating after which I thought was odd since it was a weeknight that he was doing a date. He has a friend who's family owns a Sod Farm in West Point. When we pulled up I could see someone and a fire burning.. I was begging not to go ice skating. Of course he made me go up there to check it out.

Once we walked up there. There were flowers leaning on a rock and he was saying "Well these flowers are for you." ...I just kept saying no. So I walked to the fire.. then saw that he was kneeling down and digging in his pocket for something. He was trying to hold the flowers at the same time.. He then said. "Just like the fire illuminates the nighttime sky, I have been looking for someone to illuminate my life for eternity." ... I then looked down and saw him open up the ring box.. and inside wasn't a shiny ring there was ABSOLUTELY NOTHING...

He then frantically said. "You took the ring didn't you." ...i said uhmm ...no! I had no idea it was with you.. His heart sank and he was wondering what happened to the ring.. I then saw something shiny on the ground and asked what it was he then picked up what was the ring and asked "Will you marry me?" ... The four best words any girl can hear.

So remember that person that was standing by the fire when we pulled up well that was Kelly's friend Brad Zolts.. He was hiding in a bush once we got up there and then he jumped up and snapped some pictures of us right after i said YES! :)

New Years Eve

I will be completely honest and Kelly will agree. But I was hoping that he would of proposed at midnight...

Yeah but just like Cinderella losing her shoe at the ball.. I lost that battle.

Instead we spent the night at Bull Wars..I had a horrible attitude and didn't want to be there. Afterall, I bet half of my cousins were there and I didn't know it. It wasn't my idea of a New Years Celebration..

I finally got into a discussion with Kelly about it while we were stopped for gas because he knew I wasn't happy about it. So we went back to my parents and hung out with them. Unlike last year I was at some Single Adult Party. At my parents Marci & Landon, Kelsey & Curtis were there... We all had someone to kiss when the clock stroke midnight!

The night slowly turned around it was fun to be with my family and my lover boy.
