A trip to the moon

Tonight we were supposed to go to a dance lesson and beginning learning more than just the basic steps to the Waltz. Before our lesson though, we decided to go hang out with my mom and her friend at a place called The Moon since we were going to be near her home anyways.

It was a blast and we ended up losing track of time and not making it to go dance. It was okay though, we will make it next time.

Sometimes you just need to goof around a little and forget all stresses in life.

This made me think of my G-Pa

And now, back to reality...

Today was quite the little day.

This morning I got to start my diet for the Bridal Battle of The Bulge Contest. I must say I was suprised that I actually stayed full, for the most part, throughout the day. Also, one of my worries when starting was that I would not like the food that Natural Weight provides you during the course of your diet and if the food is gross it would be super hard to stick to it. Luckily though, they got these new bars in when I went to go pick up my food for the week and they taste delicious. It is almost like I'm eating dessert all day long. I have no complants. I am really excited for this and hope I can stay strong and stick to this. Dustin has been a great support from the moment that he found out that I was going to do this and that makes me happy because this would be hard if I didn't have him supporting me and making sure I don't cheat. Hehe.. I love him! I can't wait until our wedding! It cannot come soon enough!

After work Dustin and I went with my sister to try this ballroom dancing class at the Fred Astaire Dance Studio (click here to learn more). I will admit that at first we were a little skeptical about it and talked ourselves into just watching, but the class was a lot of fun and the instructors were amazing. The class is designed to teach you a little bit of everything there is in ballroom, but we started to learn how to Waltz and we learned the basics of the East Coast Swing. Those are our favorite for the most part and we definately plan on continuing. I can't wait til we are good enough to go try it out in public. Hehe..

The Yucca Tap Room

Saturday night we met up with a couple of my friends and went to the Yucca Tap Room to watch some local bands play. It was a blast!

Slurpee for two, please

I'm the king of the world er.. queen

So, maybe I wasn't on a boat and I wasn't looking over the beautiful blue waters in the ocean but it was windy and I am positive that the rock I am leaning against in the picture was magically placed on top of this mountain for me to find when I got to the top. -- Leave it to Chelsea to always bring her camera for "bloggertunities." Thank you Chelsea!! --

Please note: While looking at this picture please pretend that all those houses that you see in the background don't really exist; they sort of take away from the peacefulness of the picture.

There is no I in TEAM

For work we got to do a team builder and our team decided that it would be fun to go to a baseball team and that is exactly what we did. Diamondbacks VS. Cardinals; although we did not win the game it was still fun to get to skip a 1/2 days work to watch baseball yet still get paid.

We were waiting for the camera's to be pointed at us so we could do the see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil pose...

we are still waiting...

A little bit ago I had entered this contest for 104.7 Kiss FM's John Jay and Rich Bridal Battle of the Bulge courtesy of Natural Weight for Optimized Living.

Save the date

Originally when Dustin and I have been talking about what date we would like to have our wedding we thought that November 21st would be a good date. It lands on a Saturday and the weather is beautiful here that time of here. However, last night while talking about it we decided it would be fun to have it on our anniversary which is 09/21. So, that is what we are going to aim for.

September 21st, 2009

Some of the positives are that we would be able to keep the same anniversary date instead of getting confused because that would totally happen and the weather is also beatiful at this time of the year. Plus, it is a little further away from those major holidays so it won't be as hectic. The only thing we thought about is that this happens to land on a Monday, so I think we are going to try the Sunday before which is 9/20 and just see if we can make it official and sign the papers on 9/21. I don't exactly know how that stuff all works, but we will see. If, when planning, things seem like they are going to take longer we can always extend it for 2 extra months just to be safe!

It's Official

We have been talking about getting married for a while and have mentioned the idea to a few people but the proposal had not yet been made until now...

My soon to be husband and Me

Yesterday morning while I was getting ready to go see the family for Easter we were just playing around making faces at one another in the mirror (one of our favorite things to do to make us laugh) when he decided to get down on one knee and ask. And of course I said yes!

We are so excited!!

Tonight we are going to finalize the exact wedding date as we have a few dates (sometime this fall) in mind, but want to figure out what would work out best for us.

We are just goofy

Leave it to us to try and make a photo work...

I was looking at the screen while he was prepared for the picture...

Now, I was prepared for the picture and he was looking at the screen...

Caught by suprise! By this picture you would think I didn't like him much, but I do, I swear...

See, I told you. I love him very much!!

Got Milk?

The other night Dustin decided he wanted a glass of milk and there wasn't very much milk left in the carton so I just told him to finish it off and drink from the carton like a bachelor (less dishes that way). He then was looking for a good snack to go with it and he found the rest of our cheerios which was poured into the milk carton to drink, of course!!

He just looked too cute that I made him stop what he was doing so I could run upstairs and grab the camera and take a picture of him drinking cereal out of a milk carton. Being the little model that he is he just had to throw a few poses in there.

These two pictures turned out to be my favorite.

Got MILK??

A Dozen

Free Hugs

I was watching a music video for the song 'All the Same' by the Sick Puppies. I loved it and it totally got me thinking; I mean everyone could use a HUG, especially a free one!! Right?!? I decided that one of these days in the near future I will find a fun open public place and imitate what was done in this music video.

I will hold a sign up in the air that reads: FREE HUGS.

I will offer a hug to anyone and everyone that walks by. I think it will be great, maybe even brighten someone day just a slight bit and that's all I want. Anyone that seems interested can join me and I will keep extra signs just in case someone else would like to try it too. I will try and capture some great pictures and video clips for memories. I truly hope this will turn out to be a successful event.

Wish me Luck!!
