The fiances 32nd Birthday!

May 9th was Joe's 32nd Birthday! Sometimes it's hard to believe that he is such an old man! just kidding! Or am I???? I remember the days when Joe and I first started dating... he was 29 and I was 23; I was so worried about the fact that we are seven, yes seven years apart in age! Now it's just comforting to know he will never need to leave me for a younger woman... muwahahaha.



This year we celebrated by inviting all of Joe's friends and family to play Frisbee at the park and then head to dinner at Fox and Hound Rock Bottom Brewery. Joe kept joking that he was "gonna get smashed hammered" and we all encouraged him to. People (Including myself) bought him many beers and shots throughout the night but he kept his composure well. You really couldn't tell the alcohol was affecting him at all! Darn him for not being a crazy, funny drunk person! It was only at bed time that I realized I had allowed and encouraged (strongly encouraged) him to drink a little toooo much. I made him drink a few glasses of water (despite his protests of, "I don't want it, I'm not thirsty") and crossed my fingers that the hangover wouldn't be too bad.



We are so blessed to have such great friends and family around us for special occasions. We truly value people that take time out of their busy schedules to show their love! oh, can't forget to thanks those that also brought a gift.... love those too!!!!

Engagment Pictures!!

Engaged!

Thats right friends and family!! we are getting hitched!!

On Sept 18th Joe and I went on a hike at Puplit Rock. We 1st went on a hike here almost two years ago when, little to my knowledge, Joe was going to tell me he loved me for the first time. We as some people know that didn't happen because he wanted to tell me at the very top and I was to scared to climb up!!! Well this time I climbed up there. I knew something was fishy when Joe asked me to look and see if we could see the air force academy from where we were at, I turn around and I hear the "crrreeck" of Velcro. When I turned back around Joe was on bended knee with a big shiny ring in a box! That's when Joe asked me to be his wife and not surprisingly i said "YES YES YES!"

So WERE ENGAGED! We have set the wedding date for July 9th 2011 and are soooooo excited. We have a photographer, a venue and a photo-booth! we are in the process of securing a videographer, florist and DJ in the next 2 weeks. I found THE DRESS last weekend and its perfect. everything is soooooo real- once we get our engagement photos from our photographer AMYMICHELLEPHOTO.COM we will send out save the date cards.

Here are some pictures of the day we got engaged :)
