The New Year

Well it's 2011!! A new year and a new start.
I am ENGAGED!! to my amazing man Seth!!
I joined a gym to get my butt in shape and to get healthy!!
I'm going to try and keep this thing updated more!!
So for those who want to know the story of how we got engaged...here goes.
Seth and I traveled to Dallas to watch Texas Tech play their bowl game. For those of you who don't know Seth and I are season ticket holders to Texas Tech Football...we LOVE it and it's what we do!! This is why we will not have a fall wedding->it's during football season and we watch football!! So back to the story we left Midland for Dallas on Thursday afternoon, we found out the Spurs were playing the Mavs that Thursday night and decided to go to that game as an added bonus!! We stayed at the Hilton Anatole (where the team stayed and got to see a lot of the Tech team!! an added bonus for me - Love those guys). We decided to either take a cab or town car to the game and ended up getting to take a limo there and back for cheap!!!
The Spurs won!! So Seth and I were both excited not to mention we had good seats and it was a fun game to watch. When we got back to the hotel we went up to the room to go potty drop stuff off etc. In the mean time this is where Seth subtly slipped that beautiful ring into his pocket (he couldn't make the box fit plus that would have been way obvious). We decided to go walk around the hotel. We had been there 2 years ago when Tech played in the Cotton Bowl but they had changed so many things. We went to one of the bars and grabbed a drink then Seth kept urging me that we should go walk around some more. We went out into the grassy area...the hotel surrounds this area where there is a walking track, little pond, swimming pool, etc. We walked to the back were the pond and fountain was and we found a bench next to it and sat down. (He had asked me to hold his beer for a moment->this is when he reached in his pocket for the ring, I was completely oblivious to this) Seth asked if I loved him and I said ya that I did and then decided to ask him the same thing. He said 'Ya I guess' (sidenote: Seth and I have a silly sense of humor we're playful with each other so this was actually really sweet) and the next thing I knew he was down on his knees in front of me holding the ring and asking me to marry him!!! My first response was 'No freaking way!! You're kidding me' and then I just hugged him, he had to prompt me to say Yes because I forgot I should respond!! So I said 'Yes Of course!!' He put the ring on my finger and we kissed and cried and laughed!!!
A few side funny stories.
We went to Christmas at my grandparents on Sunday the 26th. My brother's suburban had a battery lapse when they were trying to leave so I said I would jump start them. I pulled the pickup around and got my jumper cables from my toolbox...no big deal right. Well unbeknown to me my ring was under the jumper cables. I went back in the house and told Seth that we had to jumpstart Adam's car and he just knew I had seen it. Apparently he had this freaked out look when he asked me where the jumper cables were. I said the toolbox..and was like duh! where else would they be?! I never saw it!!
Seth proposed at around 11:55 on 12/30/10...He wanted to propose on New Years Eve but I had made some comments about how I think it's cheesy when guys propose on holidays (no offense to anyone who was proposed to on a holiday) If he would have done it on New Years Eve I would have loved it no matter what!! So anyway because I had said that I thought it was cheesy he decided to just go ahead and do it the night before!! Super Sweet and totally unexpected...I didn't think he would propose until around March or April....Love him!!
Hope you enjoyed this and Thank you to everyone who has Congratulated us!! We appreciate it!!
Last note: Wedding Date - April 28, 2012!!!
