Music is Medicine to the Soul




In the past few months I have went to several concerts! Chris and I rocked it out at Van Halen! They came to Houston in January to the Toyota Center! Chris LOVES Van Halen, so I surprised him with tickets to celebrate our 2 year dating anniversary! I too have become a fan of Van Halen!!! It was quite a show and pretty amazing to see those guys still dancing and prancing like teenagers! Go ahead and JUMP!!!!

It is now Rodeo time in Houston and have went 2 times so far! I love going to Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo every year to see the brave cowboys risk their lives! Some of the events I enjoy, and some just scare me! My favorite is the calf scrammble and chuck wagon races!! Of Course!! I got to see Tim McGraw on opening night with two of my kindergarten team members! And saw Sugarland with my family ladies! We have been going as a girls night out the past couple of years! This year, Nana, Aunt Jeanie, Aunt Lisa, and Mom joined us. We were missing a few cousins and Aunts, but still fun! It is always fun to be surrounded by ones you love, and theses ladies are amazing!!! I am looking forward to next year!!!

I will know it when I see it...

We spent a few days wedding dress shopping! I tried on several but found the most perfect, beautiful, gorgeous dress! I could go on and on, but I won't! I can't wait for Chris to see me walking down the aisle in it! I am glad I got to have my Mom, sisters, future Mother-in-law and future sister-in-law help me out! Don't worry...there are no actual pictures of the dress! I can't risk Chris seeing...now that's BAD luck!!!

GETTING MARRIED!!!!

WOW! I haven't posted in a long time...so much has happened since November! We are engaged and getting married August 2nd! I can not wait to marry the man of my dreams and spend the rest of my life with Chris! He makes me feel so safe and loved! I love that he loves me for me!

We got engaged on December 13th! It was the most perfect day! This is a long story...but wonderful in my eyes! Chris gave me a hot air balloon ride as a gift for my birthday in November. I have always wanted to go on one. We had it scheduled for December 13th, but the weather was very cloudy so we were unable to go. It was actually a blessing in disguise because everyone kept telling he was going to propose to me on the balloon ride, so of course I was thinking of it! You know how a girl thinks...Haha! We had found out the night before that we weren't going to be able to go and we both already had the day off, so Chris suggested that we go ice skating at The Galleria around the huge Christmas tree. Chris said he has lived in Houston his whole life, but never went ice skating there. I had never ice skated at all, nor had I been to The Galleria during the holidays to see the tree. We went for lunch to The Cheesecake Factory and then went ice skating. We skated for awhile with me holding onto the edge mostly! Chris wanted to skate to the Christmas tree, but I told him I was good at the edge where I am safe and can hold on! He said he would hold my hand, so he did and we eventually made it to the tree. We took some pictures of each other and together, and when he was putting the camera back in his pocket he got down on one knee (on the ice and wearing skates...very impressive) and proposed! I said YES with tears! We didn't notice anyone else around us until people started cheering and clapping. It was wonderful! I seriously never even thought about getting proposed to the whole day, which is exactly how I wanted it. It was perfect! Here are some pictures of our magical day!!! Enjoy!!!
