Goodbye!

I honestly have no time to run a blog while I've got work, updating my facebook and the family website, spending time with my loved ones and planning a wedding so I think I'm going to shut this blog down. It used to be enjoyable for me but honestly now it's just another task on my to do list and so this will be my last post. If you really want to know how I'm doing....call me once in a while and I'll tell you. :)

Bye!

I'm Engaged

With so many people asking me for the story of my engagement I'm all out of minutes on my cell phone so the rest of you get the story here.

Cory and I met in Kindergarten when we were 6 years old. He became best friends with my twin brother when he was 7 or 8 and I became "Nick's sister" to him. When we hit 6th grade (12 years old) we became friends. We played together at recess and had class together. Through Junior High and High School we stayed best friends and grew to rely on each other for relationship advice, laughter and growing experiences. Cory was always the friend I took for granted and he was always the friend who's shoulder I cried on after a break up or a hard day. Cory did they same thing with me. He would come to me for advice on girls and come to me for comfort after a messy break up or when he needed to relax.


Cory left on his mission to Taiwan and I continued to date other boys. When he came home I noticed the change that had taken place in him and fell head over heels in love with him. He unfortunately had already decided not to date any of his old High School friends so we resumed out friendship and I went away to Washington DC. After a some soul searching and a self transformation I came home to Cory who was still on the dating scene.

He would go on a date on Monday, hang out with me on Tuesday and Wednesday to "recover" from the disappointing dates and then go out again on Thursday. This happened for about 2 months before Cory realized that out of any person he knew he wanted to date me the most.

About 2 weeks ago we started to date and realized that it was SO much fun. We would go to Nickelcade, BBQs and have game night. It only took about 4 days for him to be in love with me as much as I already loved him. About a week ago we prayed to know what we should do and both of us got the green light from the Lord to get married. About 4 or 5 days ago he asked my mom and my twin permission to marry me and then yesterday he proposed.

I've never been so happy, so stressed and so in love before in my life. I'll be posting updates here on wedding plans and key events so stay tuned. :)
