We did get the house! We've been there 6 months, as of tomorrow. I absolutely love our new home, even though I'm still trying to get it decorated and set perfectly. I don't think Sam understood how home ownership really was until he was having to cut grass every week.
The most awesome thing that has happened since my hiatus doesn't really have to do with the house. On November 23rd, Sam asked me to marry him. Well, it didn't quite go down just like that. We were getting the house set up to host Thanksgiving with the whole family in a couple days (Sam's brilliant idea). I needed to go out and get curtain rods for the guest bedroom so it would look half way decent. I asked Sam to go to the store with me and he complained that his back hurt and he didn't feel good. I went to the store, while pouting, and got what I needed. When I returned home I noticed that he parked his truck on the street so I could park in the driveway. (This never happens.) When I got in the door, I stopped in my tracks because I noticed that there were roses on the coffee table. (He rarely buys flowers) I immediately asked him what was going on and why he parked on the street and why there were roses. He told me to look at Milo (his/our dog). I looked at Milo and noticed that he had a card around his neck. I read the card and it said, " Will you be my Momma fur-ever?" When I looked up, Sam got down on one knee and popped the question. I don't think the proposal could have been any more perfect. I'm definitely proud of him for the awesome ring he picked out!
We got through hosting Thanksgiving and then it was time to start planning the wedding. We picked a date that was only 6 months away. Everything with the wedding planning started happening so fast. Cake tasting, dress shopping, engagement pictures, finding a venue, etc.
Now I'm only a month and a half away from our wedding. I can't believe that next month I get to marry the man of my dreams.
To be honest, I'm just ready for the honeymoon. I'm ready for all this planning to be over with and to just be able relax and enjoy our time together. I'm excited to start this next chapter in our lives together. Navy wife in the making!!! <3
Boss is gone at work today, so I have to get going and run things! I'll be back soon to update this thing again! Here's a few pictures from the last few months!
