We're Engaged!

Aubrie popped the question Christmas morning at his parents house in Roanoke, TX. It was a complete surprise to me! I couldn't be more happier! We are so excited to get married and continue our lives together as husband and wife!

Even though we had discussed getting married and Aubrie has already given me a promise ring (aka practice ring) I was not expecting a proposal Christmas morning! When I realized what was going on, I didn't know what to do! Of course I said YES!

Our families are more than excited for both of us. I am super duper excited to be getting more sibling in-laws!

We had a fabulous Christmas with family. We didn't ask a lot in gifts due to fact that we are still trying to get into our new home and do not know what we really need for the house yet. We did what we could this Christmas! It's not about gifts, its about spending time with family.

Ginger is recovering so well and improving everyday with her 3 legs! She still has a lot of learning to do, what she can and cannot do, so far, there is not a lot that she cannot do! We cannot wait to get her back home with us! Our home isn't the same without Ginger.

Our year has been a whirlwind of ups and downs! Thankfully more ups than downs! I can't believe that 2014 is right about the corner. In January we will be official home owners, have our family all together (again) and start planning our wedding!! I foresee lots of wedding planning and parties in our future! I look forward to spending lots of time with family while we plan our special day together!

Future wife to be!

Cultivating relationships

Maintaining relationships demands effort; it's a mutual journey. Each party contributes, and amidst this exchange, bonds form—be it friendships or deeper connections. Some relationships necessitate more investment; sometimes, it feels like you're carrying the weight alone, striving to sustain the connection. Personally, I've struggled with nurturing friendships; perhaps due to youthful ignorance, where life felt boundless, consequences seemed distant, and self-centeredness prevailed. As age brings maturity, many friendships naturally drift away amid life's chaos and the challenges of adulthood. Reflecting on my past interactions often astonishes me; how did I manage any healthy relationships back then? Truthfully, I didn't. Those who I once considered friends, or who considered me as such, have vanished, leaving behind only fragmented memories—thanks, memory loss. Although forgetfulness might seem a blessing, the impressions we leave behind persist. This notion unne...

I'm being selfish

This week has been a whirlwind of emotions that I struggle to articulate. Attending the funeral of a childhood friend's father, who passed away unexpectedly, opened floodgates of nostalgia and sadness. We shared a bond through our mutual love for horseback riding, receiving our first ponies almost simultaneously. While we've drifted apart as adults, the news hit me hard. Our parents, similar in age and pursuits, faced the unimaginable loss of a husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. Witnessing my friend's grief and contemplating my own future in their shoes brought tears of empathy and fear. The inevitability of losing loved ones, a reality we often push aside, looms ominously. Reflecting on my relationship with my family, I realize how it's evolved over the years. From distant ties to a profound dependency, I now find solace and support in them daily. When my father suffered a heart attack, I was thrust into a surreal state of emotional numbness, only to cr...

Wow, it’s been a while since my last post in April! This year has been a whirlwind—it’s incredible how time flies. Big milestone: I turned 40! I still can’t believe it. I don’t feel 40, though; my mind says 20, but my body sometimes feels 70. 😅 I was lucky to celebrate with my family and closest friends, and my parents surprised me with my very first Louis Vuitton. She’s stunning! I also completed my MSF course, which means I can legally ride my motorcycle now! I recently took my Triumph Bonneville T120 on its first solo ride to work. It was nerve-wracking but exhilarating, and I’m hooked! My next dream bike is the Triumph Scrambler, so I can join my husband on some dirt road adventures. Unfortunately, I got hit with a really bad bug and was in bed for a week, which wiped out all my PTO for the year. This year marked our 10th wedding anniversary, and my parents gifted us a trip to Italy! With no more PTO left, we’ve had to push it to next year, but honestly, I feel good about having ...
