Oh yeah I'm engaged! :)

So I have been bad about blogging as of late, 
mental block or something. 
Or just being plain busy with working full time, grad school, doing an internship and now planning a wedding!

So I got engaged!!!!!
On December 17th, 2010.
Best night of my life, so far!

Jen, I and carey on the night we got engaged 
James and I retelling the story to all of our friends, of how exactly we got engaged.

James, Carey, and I

Real smiles of joy!

James true smile, not his fake cheesy one

James and I walking into where all our friends where,
a surprise to me,
but planned out on James and Melissa's part
So we pull up outside there house
and all of our friends were inside waiting.
It was so much fun to be able to celebrate with them
right after we got engaged.

Cheney and I

This was the self portrait we did, when I am still in shocked that we are engaged!

The ring!

The story of our engagement was perfect.
The words james spoke to me that night, are words I will never forget.
He made me cry and touched my soul in a way no one ever has or will.
He is the love of my life and I feel blessed beyond
belief that I get to spend the rest
of my life with him.

He is the man God made for me!
That night will be one that the details will never escape my mind.
Unforgettable!

Valentines Day!

This was the set up for my Valentine's Day
James made me dinner.
Got me an orchid.
and bought me a journal!

The boy did good. 
My orchid, with the wonderful wine :)
This meal, you should be jealous of!
It tasted like heaven in my mouth.
Steak Diane in a delicious mushroom sauce
Potatoes Croquet
and perfectly cooked asparagus.

Topped off with homemade Creme Brulee
and james taught me how to cook the top
with my own torch gun!

All in all it was a wonderful Valentines night.
I feel so blessed to have the man I do
beside me.

Really for the rest of my life (God willing)
That's a thought that brings a smile to my face.
I got a good one folks :)
