Corey & I Are Engaged

As must people know Corey and I got engaged on Sunday September 6, 2009. We are beyond excited to move forward in our relationship and become husband and wife.

So how it happen, we had been talking about getting married, for months and months, then before the start of summer we talked about a possible summer engagement. Well summer went by, and Corey decided he was ready to make the step. So, that Sunday, he asked me to go return the redbox movies to 7-11 so I went, although not without questioning why I had to go out at that moment and return them...well if I didn't ask 4500000 questions then it wouldn't be me. He knows that and loves that. haha. So he said so we don't forget too later, which we are KNOWN FOR. So I said fine and went, the 7-11 is about 10 minutes from us, so 20 round trip. When I got home he had his camera around his neck, and said why don't we go upstairs. I said ummm okay. So we headed upstairs he told me to sit on the bed, then he said lets play an old fashion game of hot and cold....so I started looking around the house, as he snapped pictures and was so into the picture taking that would forget we were playing hot and cold only for me to say "hello am I hot or cold." I looked all through the upstairs bedrooms and nothing, went downstairs and started looking and nothing...then I decided to look in the chocolate jar, because anyone that knows Corey knows he loves his chocolate. So I opened the lid, only to find the ring box in there and open. I started crying before I had even got the ring out of the jar, once I was holding the box, he said to me as I was crying, "So is this a yes you will marry me." Well I of course said yes, we hugged over and over while I sobbed on his shoulder and that's how it happen. The boys are very excited especially Nathan who has more understanding of a wedding and knows he is going to have a special job of being a ring bearer. I am very thankful to have the boys in my life and Corey.

Everyone has been asking what date we are looking at, we are looking at an early Spring wedding 2010, March or April really depending on the reception places we are looking at and their availability. We are looking a place I really love on Saturday so we will go from there and see what happens. We will definitely keep everyone posted, thanks to all our wonderful family and friends for all the well wishes and nice messages. We are glad you are all in our lives, and we look forward to celebrating our marriage with you all in the Spring. LET THE PLANNING BEGIN...Oh wait it already has. :o)
