WE GOT ENGAGED!!!!

Tim proposed!!! He surprised me sunday morning by telling me that I need to pack my bag cuz we were gonna be going somewhere and would be gone all day and all night. An hour later we left and 3.5 hours after that I found out where we were going when we arrived at the Elk Creek Vinyard in Owenton KY. We had a house all to ourselves and a chef came to make us a steak dinner that Tim had arranged. He proposed within an hour of getting there lol, I guess he wanted to get it over with :) It was so sweet, he did it by this pretty trellace in the garden overlooking the grapevines. I am SO HAPPY!!!!!!! I cannot wait to marry this wonderful, amazing man :) and here I thought he'd either propose with a puppy or at a Phish show... he pulled a fast one on me!

Easter

We spent easter sunday at tim's grandma's farm with the whole fam, it was nice! dinner was amazing and we had an easter egg hunt for the kiddies. bev even set up an easter egg hunt for the adults with lottery tickets inside each egg but surprise surprise, no one won anything :( well, larry got a free ticket but that doesnt really count :) right now i'm watching american idol and they have quintin terintino as their mentor as they choose songs from movies to perform. this show is great, everyones been doing pretty well so far. I also started to teach Bev how to do digi scrapbooking... I hope she keeps up with it! we'll prob need a few more lessons but i think she'll get it pretty well eventually.

Last weekend and other recent things

Well I havent written in a while so I will sum up the last few days as quickly as possible: Friday got some new things at ruehl, went to cinci. saturday tim went camping with cam, taylor, and kenzie; I went to dinner with missy at hugo's where danny works as a chef. had the most AMAZING fois gras, got drunk with crazy restaurant employees. sunday i enjoyed the nice weather and waited for tim to get back only to find out he sprained his ankle camping and has no idea why seeing as he was blacked out drunk when it happened. poor guy is hobbeling around now! work has been insanely busy and i have been finishing up bootcamp at the same time. i have to do 4 days of bootcamp this week cuz its the last week and i still have to make up a day i missed 2 weeks ago. i have been at work til almost midnight every day this week so far, last week i was here til 10 most days, and hopefully tonight wont be as late tho it might be. depsite all that i am still getting up at 430am to work out like a crazy person. good thing bootcamp's fun! good news: dar is moving home in a few weeks! that will be great to have him around again. i dont know if i will do bootcamp next month, i dont think i can afford it, but really want to continue! we'll see.

UPDATE: Phish pre-sale lottery results will be in TODAY!

and i am freaking out!! please oh please oh please let us get the tickets we want! of course, if we dont get them we can always try for the public sale starting this thursday but that's even more stressful than this is!! these shows are going to sell out in a nanosecond and my summer happiness depends on them!! also, if we get the presale tickets they are much cooler than normal ticketmaster tickets. they have sweet art on them and all that jazz. adds to the collection :) i just love tim's idea of driving out west and making a vaca out of this, so i hope we luck out. i will update with the results! tim and i both entered the lottery individually and our parents each entered for us too in an effort to boost our chances a little. thanks mom and dad and ump and hum!!! results to come soon......

UPDATE: just saw this post on a phan blog i follow, this guy has alot more experience with me so he has quite a bit more insight into this situation than i do... he def shares my hatred for ticketbastard, brokers, and douchbags who turn around and try to resell tickets at a million times face value. wtf is wrong with those people???

The Sixth Challenge

I saw this on another blog so decided to try it. Here's how it works, i post the 6th picture from the 6th folder in My Photos on here and invite 6 people to do this as well. Well, I dont know 6 people on blogger yet so I will just leave this open to anyone who wants to. In fact, I think I will try to start this on facebook since that will probably get a much bigger response. I just love these chain activites, so fun!

and its a pic of tim and little jerry on the "dog's couch" at tim's house, awwww so cute!!
