HITCHIN IT

So as I am sure as most people know I got engaged this week. Figured I outta tell the story/post the pictures. So Richael picks me up Sat to take me to Maddock (my fav place to eat in the entire world). It is my birthday on the 14th and due to conflictin schedules he decided to take me out this weekend instead. So we go to Maddocks...I am on cloud nine eating the most wonderful steak and we chat it up and enjoy ourselves. Before we left the house he also told me to bring warm clothes. I thought to myself..proposal for sure. And I figured that he would take me to Ensign peak because that is the only place we have actually hiked together. Sure enough he drives me right up to Ensign peak and we start our hike in the snow. Richael isn't the type to just bear the cold weather so I figured something was up. We hiked up to the top in about 30 min. The snow was up to our calfs and still coming down. When we got the the top of course we were the only ones up there. So we just talked and joked like we normally do. It wasn't until a good 15 minutes had passed that I realized he was NOT going to propose! I thought to myself....this little punk is just stringing it out!! He has NO intentions of proposing!! He knows EXACTLY what he is doing and he is just stringing my along!

So after I reached the above conclusion I just gave up on the thought. The fog started getting really heavy so we decided it would be best ot start heading back down the mountain. I turned to leave when I heard Richael call out my name, " Ronnie" he said. I turned back around and he was on one knee. I put my hands up to my face in surprise. Then he continued, " I have snow on my boots" and he dusted it off and stood back up.

YOU ASS!! I yelled at him. (yes I cussed at him) Then I gave him a two hand shove. Because this kniving little punk we just being a jerk and he VERY well knew it!! He was just leading me on! But I admit it was funny as heck and I was laughing my head off. We continued to joke and laugh as we walked back to the car.

By the time I got home it was 1220 and late so Richael said he was just going to drop me off. He walked me to the door step and kissed me goodnight. I walked back into the house and thought to myself....he did something to my room. Then I decided to stall just like he did. So I went to the fridge and dropped my leftsovers in the fridge and ate a few more delicious rolls EVER SOOOOOO SLOOOWLY. As I was eating I thought....I bet he is still in the driveway waiting for me to go to my room. SO I ran to the front window and peered through the blinds....but no car!! I was surprised and thought....oh well...I will just have to wait a bit longer to tell people.

So I walked up to my room..opend the door and gasped when I saw this. ....

Sixteen dozen roses all over my room. It smells SOOOOO good and it looked gorgeous!

I called him back on the phone to thank him. He said he was at my front door and I opened the door gave him a huge fat hug to thank him. His legs were shaking like crazy and then he got down on one knee and proposed. I said yes. THe ENd PS Special thanks to my roomies Shayla and Liz for putting all the flowers in my rooom while I was gone and making it look AMAZING. And another thanks to LIZ for making my bed for the picture. lol

april fools day greatness

I would like to be sure to first give FULL credit to my sister chewy for this one. But it is GREAT for april fools day!! She sent me a picture text o this and I laughed so hard I just had to do it.

So I did this at my house and scared the crap out of my roomates and myself more than just a few times. TO do: syran wrap toilet...place scary mask atop. Close lid.

The finger

Was on my way to the shop when Richael called to see "how far out I was...because he cut his finger." I knew exactly what that ment. It means it is a bad deep cut and he wants me to tell him if he needs to get stitches or not. I arrived to find this. He completely sliced through his finger AND the top of the nail. But I knew the ER would cost a butt load and we could probably do a little patching together to fix it. The next day I lavaged it and let it air dry before I glued it back together. While it was drying I wanted to protect it from getting hit ...and I came up with this ingenious contraption...the finger cone. It was designed after the well known dog cone. lol. I think I am so funny. Speakin o Richaels hands..here is a great one. We came out of the movies one day and his hand was completly BLUE. Couldn't figure it out how it got all blue. (picture below lacks actual blueness). The only place his hand was during the movie was on my leg..then we figured it out. I had new jeans...he rubbed the dye right into his hands.

find of the day

Gotta love the Sandy clean up time....cuz than I find little gems like these. Free wooden boxes..and a wooden ladder (not pictured).

Car bumper meets its match

My car bumper met its match a month or so ago. I decided to hurry off to work and in the process back into my roomies boyfriends car....his car won...mine didn't. Good news it has since been to the shop and Richael helped me fix it. All she needs is a coat of paint and all evidence is gone.

And I got a ticket last week.....just a month of being short of a 2 year clean streak. Good thing biking season isn'too far.

" I'm a little teapot"

Every once in a while I get a nice little piece of art work from Chewy. Ah the beauties of everyday life. Chewy entitled this one "I'm a little teapot."
