Other news, I just got a call from the doctor’s office, my biopsy results are in and finally showed up normal! No news was good news, YAY! I’m so glad; I didn’t want to have to go through the next procedure again! Now if only I could take better care of myself and drag my butt to the gym. Ha!

here comes the sun, here comes the sun, and i say...

It’s another beautiful day here in downtown Minneapolis! I’m stuck looking out the window from the 31st floor wishing I was outside doing something FUN!

My view…

I don’t have much to talk about today. Last night was very low key although I did get to enjoy a trip to my favorite TARGET! I returned home around 7 got everything put away, I grocery shop at the SUPER TARGET! It’s dangerously located a few blocks away from my home. I decided I better get going with dinner and it was mmmm mmmm, good!! We had beef enchiladas with Mexican rice and chips and a bean dip! Here are pics that might make you drool! haha! That is if you love Mexican food as much as I do!!

BEFORE THE OVEN

FINISHED PRODUCT WITH THE MEXI RICE!

TABLE SETTING WITH CHIPS N' DIP!

This week so far has been fab because Billy didn’t have hockey Monday or Tuesday night! We were in bed last night by 9! I heart sleep! I also heart my puppy who was a love bug at bed time. I went on the comp for a few minutes and when I crawled into bed 15 minutes later my Billy was already out cold. Gussy and I cuddled up to him tho ;)

Oh and one more thing, my car goes in to get fixed today, FINALLY! I bought my first brand new car, well leased it, and within 2 months it already had a big boo boo on the front fender! A guy backed into my car on March 5th that was almost 2 months ago! I had so much drama with his insurance company. After this long wait I’m really looking forward to get it back and it will be in perfect condition again, yay!!

p.s. SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE IS ON TONIGHT!! (addicted)

Any one watch Real Housewives of New Jersey? I missed it last night but have it on DRV, can't wait to watch that tonight with no commercials! ;)

Ups and Downs (rollercoaster of life)

5-27 Wednesday....

Ever go to the doctor for one thing and end up finding out they have other plans. Ugh, not my idea of enjoyable and who likes the doctor's office in the first place!? I went in for a check up and ended up having a biopsy, it was painful and I felt as if the doctor and nurse I normally have were in such a rush they didn't even care to ask how I was after the fact. When they walked out of the room I felt incredible lightheaded and just sick to my stomach. Once I got to my car I did all I could not to cry but just had to let it out, felt much better once I did. I came home to an empty house which made it worse. Billy had to work late, once he was there it was comforting and I also felt better after I told him what happened. He ended up having to leave right away because of hockey but came home with good news. The other guy he coaches with, his wife's dad is a doctor in our area so I think I"ll be switching docs after that episode. I couldn't tell Billy was at all worried about me when I explained to him what had happened but knowing that he went to hockey and told his friend let me know he was concerned. I'm very thankful to have him in my life as my best friend and fiance. Now I'm just waiting to hear back from the doctors office, hopefully it's nothing.

5/28 Thursday....

I spent 3 hours last night sitting on the computer working on a photo book I'm making for my parents anniversary. When I started the project I thought it would be about 20 pages and it's turned into 60 so far and I'm not even finished. It's so much fun to make although quite time consuming, it's something that will last forever. I'm making it on Shutterfly and they have a special right now for 20% off the books and free shipping, woo hoo! I'm excited to give it to them for their 27th anniversary! I love my parents so incredibly much, they are always here for me in any and every way possible.

Who should happen to stop by last night?? My most favorite little boy, my nephew Dominic. He is 22 months, almost 2! Crazy how time flies by! He used to live with me so it was so funny to watch him run around my home and get into all the same stuff he used to. Such as getting into the kitchen drawer that has all of the kitchen utensels and lining them up on the floor. He is adorbale, love that little smile of his :) This picture is from Easter!

Billy was home from coaching hockey around 8, he took off on his bike quick to go catch a little bit of a lacrosse game. I continued working on the book and finally called it quits for the night around 9. Billy was home by then and we had a long talk about his upcoming weeking in Fargo for the hockey team he has been coaching the past month. They are 10 year old boys and he's anxious to see how they do. He is competitve so I'm keeping my fingers crossed all goes well! It's going to be really weird not having him around the house these next 3 days. We haven't been apart for this long in a year or so. I have a weekend planned with my sister, family and my baby Gus. He will definately be getting a lot mommy time the next 3 days.

ENGAGED!!!

May 8, 2009

I've picked our engagement night to start a story on our life because it is the beggining of a wonderful new chapter in our life! We are so exicted to announce that we will be spending our lives together :)

The sweet and short story of the proposal night....
It was a very heartfelt casual proposal at our home. On Friday he went to my parents house and asked for permission while I was out running errands, he had my mom, dad and Lex all in tears. Of course they approved. I had no idea he went over there or was planning to ask for permission. I got home around 6 and him and I talked and had a drink and snacks until about 8 and then he brought me downstairs where I have a "vision board" which is a poster board is a collage of pictures of the goals and dreams you want in your life. He talked about it and how thankful he was to have me all the while fighting the tears, it was very emotional, then he got down on his knee and i started crying, then he asked. I of course said yes ;)
It was very sweet and couldn't have been more perfect in our house. We are home bodies and we put pretty much everything we have back into our house so there was no place better for him to ask me. After we went to my parents house for champagne. My mom met me at the door right when we walked in. Everyone was right there to congradulate us. The night was perfect!

We don't have any dates picked yet. We just know we would like to be married on a beach, somewhere very warm with white sandy beaches!

The night was by far the most memorable night in my (our) life so far. I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful man to spend my life with. I know we have so much to look forward to together. My ring is absolutely beautiful, Billy did a wonderful job picking it out! He told me he was on a mission the day he went to get it, he spent over 4 hours at the store picking it out :) I'm very happy and excited for everything that is to come in our future!
