WE'RE ENGAGED!!!!!

Yes we're engaged and we are so excited!

So here's the story....

Eddie a few weeks ago talked to me about going away for the weekend. I was a little hesitant because we've been wanting to save to buy a house, but of course I wanted a little getaway. So, we decided to go stay at his mom and step dad's place in Lake Chelan, which is always fun and relaxing.

I took Friday off and we headed over. Saturday it was 38 degrees out and Eddie really wanted to go mopeding. I am always up for an adventure, so I put on 4 layers of clothes and got ready.

We went down to his parent's property and got on the mopeds and started riding around. It was really fun at first, as it always is riding around on the mopeds, but once you got over 30 MPH you were FREEZING! My fingers were pretty much frozen to the handle bars.

I told Eddie that we had to stop and take a break or go back because I was pretty much an ice cube. So, Eddie and I went to one of our favorite parks called Willow Point. It is a small park that you walk down stairs to and it has a beautiful view of the lake, you can actually walk right into it from there. Each time we've been to Lake Chelan we've always stopped there and hung out.

Once we parked, Eddie told me that I should open the bottom compartment under the seat of the moped. So I opened it up and there was a present inside. I at first looked at him and actually I was kind of mad. We weren't supposed to get each other anything for Christmas. Eddie told me it was just something small and he just wanted to get me something while we were there. So we took the box and walked down the stairs to the park.

We sat on a bench right in front of the water, and I opened the box. There were a couple great ornaments and a fantastic scarf. As I was closing up the box, Eddie told me he had one more thing to give me. I wasn't paying much attention because I was boxing everything back up and he pulls out a little box!

All the sudden he gets on his knee and opens the box and I immediately start crying! He proposes and it was so great! It is weird when something so exciting happens to you. Eddie and I both seemed to have blacked out. After we finally started to come down from the happy moment, Eddie asked me if I said yes. I screamed, "Yes! Of Course!"

After we calmed down a bit we got back on our mopeds and went back to his parent's property. He had champagne in his moped compartment, so we drank champagne and called our families. It was such a fantastic experience. We both couldn't have been happier!

After the champagne was gone, we went back to his parent's place, got warm, and got cute. Then we went to the Tsillan winery which we always go to when were at Lake Chelan and went wine tasting. After that they served dinner so we stayed for that and had a great time.

We had a fantastic weekend. It was like a dream. Eddie made it perfect!

It also doesn't hurt that the ring is fantastic! If I went to pick it out myself I know I would not find a ring that would be more of a fit for me than that. He did great!

Getting rid of the clothes...


As most people know, about a year ago I have had quite a life "overhaul". 

I have been eating well and working out practically everyday. So far I've lost about 35 pounds and I have about 15-20 more to go. 

The weirdest part about this process is losing all my clothes. I was okay with having "saggy butt" for a little bit, but it got pretty ridicules looking. So, I decided to go through my closet. All I can say is I got rid of 3 full bags! It was crazy! Someone at the Goodwill will be wearing designer! 

And I finally bought myself some new jeans, and they were 2 sizes smaller than the last time I bought jeans!

Seattle Aquarium Trip



Eddie and I decided to go to Aquarium today. Lots of fun!

We saw a lot of fish and starfish. They have a lot of seals and of course otters. Yes please! 

It is a great way to spend a Sunday!


Kathy Griffin!!!


On Friday, I went to watch comedian Kathy Griffin at the Paramount. 

My mom, Breanne, a family friend Michelle, her daughter Karly and I went together. We had some great pre-show dinner and beverage-ing then the show was hilarious! It really could have gone on for about 2 hours longer. 

We all had a great time. Nothing is better than Kathy Griffin and some dick jokes to make your night!

Seahawks game!


Today we went to the Seahawks game against the Cardinals. It was super fun as always, even though we didn't win. But I don't want to talk about that part.




Eddie's Birthday!


Eddie turned the big 2-6 on Friday! 

I took the day off work to spend the day with him. He was on shift the day before and was on the next day, so this way we could have a full day to celebrate.

First of all, I made a cake. If anyone knows me, cooking (especially baking!) is something I never do. It really shows how much I love Eddie, I will tell you that. It was a special cake because I made the cake with white cake mix and diet sprite. That's right! That was it. Just mix the two contents and cook accordingly. It was actually REALLY good! I suggest anyone trying it and it has half the fat! 

That morning when he got home from work I cooked him pancakes and bacon. Then we were ready to go to the zoo! We went to the Woodland Park Zoo and I will tell you, it is way too much fun. They have giraffes, hippos, and so many monkeys! I love monkeys so I was a little too excited. Pretty sure I was more excited than the small children next to me. I can't wait to go again, I could be there for like 10 hours!


Nothing's better than a giraffe and a hippo's ass!

After the zoo, we went to dinner at Eddie's Mom and Step Dad's house.

It was a great day!

Heather's Shower


Last Saturday was Heather's baby shower! 

We went to a cute place and had a high tea. That was my first high tea and it was pretty fun. I love tea, so I say yes please! 

It was great to see everyone and celebrate Heather having twins!
