Concerts and Birthdays

Last night my mom and grandma went to the Toby Kieth Concert in Evansville. It was her Christmas present from Steve and she was more than excited. Grandma loves Toby Kieth! In her words "he's such a rebel and pure sex from his head to his toes!" Whoa Grandma! They Both enjoyed the concert and made it safely home by 11:30. Mom had to to work today so she's going on only a few hours of sleep :( BEWARE!! Today is also Jacquelyn's 21st Birthday!! Yea, she's finally legal. Andrew and I will be going out tonight to help her celebrate! Once again Happy Birthday Jacq!

Grandma def. had a good time!

Happy Birthday Jacquelyn Ann!

Back to Normal....Well Almost!!

Well, we all returned to our normal lives for the most part today! Everyone went back to work and made it safely back home. Steve finally has electricity and we are all very grateful. The roads are finally starting to become clear and drivable. I stopped at CVS on my way home to get a magazine and something sweet to eat and it was a madhouse! People with power are grouchy and even more so when the store doesn't have batteries to put in their flashlights! Hopefully the snow and ice move out over the weekend, I'm counting down the days until Spring!

In the wedding department, we have somewhat agreed on a date. It's not official by any means, but we are thinking October, 9, 2010 (10/9/10). I would like to have a fall wedding and showed Andrew some examples and he seems to be ok with it. It seems like forever away, but at the same time I think, oh my I have so much to do! We will let everyone know when we officially decide on a date so stay tuned!

We hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!!

We thought this would give everyone a good laugh, apparently Andrew didn't know the picture was being taken!

Winter Wonderland

Well we have been without power since 2 o'clock this morning! We lit some candles and turned the radio on WIKY, they said it may be the weekend before it is back on and Posey County is under a state of emergency. Andrew drove down the road to work and came back, and said if we're going to grandmas we've gotta go now! So at 6:00 this morning we called grandma and told her we were on our way with dogs in tote! Everyone packed a bag for a couple days, in case we aren't able to go back home. So here it is 7:30 in the morning and we're all up watching it snow! Hopefully I can catch some z's later, as of right now I'm just grateful to be safe and warm. I'll post some pictures later of the winter mess, until then stay warm!


*update--- Our power came back on yesturday afternoon!!

We're Engaged!

Well after 5 years and 3 months of dating Andrew and I are officially engaged! Friday night we went to the movies with friends of ours (Josh and Ashley). We saw the new mall cop movie, which I don't recommend wasting your money on, it just wasn't that good. Anyway, we got home a little after 11pm and mom was staying at Steve's so it was just us. We were standing in the kitchen and I was messing with something and Andrew asked me if I wanted my Valentine's Day present. I started to turn around and say I don't care and as I turned around he had my ring in his hand and said, will you marry me? I said Oh my god, are you serious, do you promise? He then proceeded to tell me that the two diamonds on each side of my original diamond are out of my grandma's engagement ring that my grandpa gave her. I started to cry like crazy. Andrew knows how much I miss my grandpa and to have something like that from him means the world to me. Not to mention having my grandma's diamonds. The diamond in the middle was Andrew's great grandma's diamond and is over 100 years old, they don't make diamonds like it anymore. Needless to say I have the most gorgeous, sentimental ring ever and the best boyfriend, oops I mean fiance! I decided since our families are scattered around everywhere having this blog would help keep everyone up to date on the wedding plans and such. Right now we're just soaking it all in and enjoying being engaged. The only thing we know thus far is we are thinking about sometime between September and November of 2010! Well I'll keep you posted! We love and miss everyone!
