His & Her

One of my favorite bloggers has been doing this link up the past couple of weeks and I always love reading it. I thought it would be fun if The Mr. and I filled out these questions too even though he thinks it's kind of funny and asked if it would be like truth or dare....oh gosh, such a man! So here we go, our first week of His & Her Q&A hosted by Love the Grows and Chapter Something.

What is something weird your spouse does while asleep?
His: Ummmmmm, sometimes when you're just falling asleep you moan and groan.
Her: You move your legs alot and sometimes you let one of your legs slide off the bed and it will wake you up....but you have no clue.


Which of the 7 deadly sins are you? (anger, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and gluttony)
His: I dunno....ummm, anger...only when I'm suddenly woken up.
Her: I'm envy and probably gluttony because I find myself wishing I had it like other people and I find myself over indulging in things, especially when I'm really into them.

What was your favorite hiding place as a kid?
His: Under the bed.
Her: That's weird....why under the bed? Anyway, I used to like to hide in our shed outside.

What music artist do you love that your other half hates listening to?
His: Metallica (he's right, I hate them)
Her: He doesn't like anything I listen to. That is something we really differ in, I'm a 90's girl and he's an 80's boy. I like today's pop music and he's just stuck in the hair band phase.

What has your other half recently done that made you love them more?
His: You brought me a pumpkin spice frappuccino before anyone else could have them. (One of the perks of working at Starbucks)
Her: Cooking and having dinner with me when I close at work. I love that we get to be able to sit down and have dinner together, even if it's at 9pm.

What is your favorite hole-in-the-wall place to eat? (or favorite restaurant in general)
His: HOOTERS (he screamed!)....or any place with hot wings.....
Her: Thai Spice, a super yummy Thai restaurant here in town.

What do you admire most about your significant other?
His: You have a big heart, you love me, you take care of me, you give a rats ass about me, you treat me well, you feed me, you.....(I made him stop.)
Her: You are always willing to listen and even when I'm wrong you find a way to kindly tell me that I'm wrong and bring me back to my senses. You always bring me up when I'm down....

Ideally, where would you like to be 5 years from now?
His: .....at the park, playing with the little ones. (AWWWWWWWWWW!)
Her: Considering it's 10:30pm, I'd like the little ones to be asleep, but anyway, I'd like to be wherever he is because that's where my heart is. ;-)

Who wears the pants?
His: Rambo. (that dang dog!)
Her: I'd like to think I wear them, but he thinks he should wear them. Ugh....power struggle!

What is your favorite/go-to YouTube video? (embed for all of us to watch!)
His: Any of the fake Apple commercials.

Her: I watch a lot of music videos on YouTube. Here's one of my favorite cover songs:

Date Night

Last Friday, The Mr. and I decided to have a date night. It's not that we never go out on dates, it's that when we do, they are normally double dates with some of our favorite friends. So when it's just the two of us, it's a big deal!

A few months ago one of my coworkers son was selling tickets to a local minor league baseball game (Tri-City Dust Devils) and since I always like to help a kid out, I picked up two of them. The season is coming to an end here soon and we needed to use the tickets, and it just so happened that there was a home game that night. So we made date night into a baseball night but first we started night with wings at Wingstop.

The Mr. and I are always down for some good wings and Wingstop never disappoints and the baseball game was fun! The Dust Devils lost but that's okay, the game was still good and spending time with The Mr. is always nice!

I can't wait until the next date night!

The Proposal

When I woke up on Saturday morning, I had no clue that by the time I went to bed my life was going to change and that I was going to be a bride-to-be!

It was a typical Saturday morning, The Mr.'s parents are in town still, so we hung out, had breakfast and just relaxed all morning. I had to work at 3pm, so eventually I got ready for and headed to work. We had planned to have a little get together at our place for New Year's Eve with my parents and Loryn and The Mr.'s parents. I was excited to have our families together for the first time and I could not wait to get off of work!

Fast forward a few hours: With it being New Year's Eve, work was really slow and we were able to get our tasks done rather fast, so we got out about 10 minutes early. Knowing that everyone was already at the house, I headed right home and didn't bother to call The Mr. (I almost always call on the way home!) When I walked in the door, I noticed he had a book in his hand and when I asked him about it he said that he had made a book for his parents and was going to give it to them at midnight. I thought it was a little weird, considering I didn't know anything about it, but I didn't want to bother him too much about it, so I just went with it. I got a little suspicious about the book but quickly my suspicions were nullified when I asked my mom if The Mr. had something up his sleeve. (Little did I know, he did!)

For the next few hours, we just hung out, watched the ball drop is 3 different timezones, enjoyed some delicious Chinese food and I had a few glasses of wine! As it got closer to midnight, we all sat around and got ready to watch the ball drop! We also all had a glass of 12 grapes; with The Mr.'s parents being here, they taught us that it's a tradition to eat 12 grapes at midnight, and for each grape you make a wish (one for each month). Once the ball dropped, we rang in the new year, and started to eat our grapes. I'm not sure how far into my grapes I got before I realized The Mr. had disappeared.

He came back into the room with the book and handed it to his mom, who then handed it to me. The cover had my favorite picture of us and was titled: Pablo & Abigail, Two Years in the Making. I was completely surprised and I'm pretty sure I immediately started crying. I flipped through the book and got to walk down memory lane of our relationship; there was also a letter he had written to me and few poems. While I was looking through the book, The Mr. had gotten down on one knee and as soon as I got to the last page, which had typography that had I love you and Will You Marry Me? written on it, he pulled out the box that had the ring in it. I was 100% completely surprised! I'm pretty sure I said "Yes" before I took my next breath! At first, he gave me the box so I could look at the ring, and then he put it on my finger. We had a good laugh when I pulled my hand back and said "Wait, did you ask my dad first?!" I should have known better though, of course he asked my dad and he did it all without me knowing!

We spent the next few hours letting people know, sitting around and talking and enjoying the moment. I am so glad both of our parents were there and that they both got to witness the moment. It was a perfect moment and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I still can't believe that I'm engaged, I still can't believe that I'm going to be planning a wedding and I still can't believe I have my dream ring on my hand. I find myself looking at it from time to time and I'm blown away.

There isn't anyone else in the world that I want to spend the rest of my life with. I love this man so much!

So here's to a new year and lot's of planning!

Happy New Year!

I figured I would start the year off right and blog! I hope everyone had a wonderful New Years Eve and that you are enjoying your New Years Day! I had a wonderful New Years Eve! I spent the evening with my family, The Mr.'s family and my new Fiancé. That's right friends, I'M ENGAGED!

The Mr. totally surprised me last night and asked me to spend the rest of his life with him. I, of course, said "YES!" I'll eventually write the proposal story, but it was very sweet and romantic and I wouldn't have had it any other way!

We are planning on having a long engagement and have not set a date yet, but I'll keep everyone updated!

Here are a few pictures from last night and today! Enjoy!

 

And yes, I already went out and got a wedding planning book! I'm so excited!

Weekend Wrap Up

We had a very fun but busy weekend and all we've done today is relax. I'd like to think that I'm always busy but we did a lot of running around this weekend, and it just wore me out. This morning afternoon when I woke up, I rolled over and realized that it was 1pm. I have no clue why I slept in that late, or why The Mr. let me sleep in that late, but it felt good.

I took the weekend off to celebrate The Mr.'s 31st birthday, which he had off as well. It's been really nice to have the last 3 days off of work, I've been able to spend time with my boyfriend, family and friends!

On Friday, we hung out at home and waited for The Mr.'s truck to be done at the shop (he has his windshield replaced) and just enjoyed a little R&R before heading out. Once his truck was done, we headed out to Hobby Lobby to look for home decor stuff and to check out all the Christmas stuff. We found a few things we liked, but are waiting until after Christmas to really start decorating our new place, otherwise people won't be getting presents. We did find Christmas cards though, and we got them for half off because all of their Christmas product was 50% off!

We headed to the mall and did a little bit of window shopping and waited for my sister to show up so we could do go to dinner. We decided to go to dinner at Tony Roma's because we felt like having a good steak kind of meal, and we all had exactly that! My lovely sister treated us to dinner, it was great time and the food did not disappoint! After dinner, The Mr. and I came out and relaxed, we ended up having friends come over and hang out for a little bit, but it ended being an early night since we knew Saturday was going to be an early and late night.

On Saturday, we headed to Othello to spend time with my family and to see the high school football playoff game. We had a great time cheering on my alumni and catching up with old friends. After the game, we hung out at my parents house and headed home early so we could get ready for The Mr.'s Birthday Hangout! The Hangout was a success and everyone had a blast! The Mr. had a great time and loved having all his friends together for his birthday! We even brought a cake into the bar and sang Happy Birthday to him really loud!

Here a few pictures of The Mr.'s Birthday Hangout! Enjoy!

He loved his Elmo plates!

The Mr.

For obvious reasons, the first person that I am most thankful for in my life is my handsome boyfriend. In the short 2 years that we have known each other, he has done so much for me. I can not even begin to tell you what all he has done or even how much it means to me because there are not enough words that will amount up to it.

He loves me when I don't think I deserve to be loved, he makes me laugh, even when I don't want to laugh, he is always there to lend a helpful hand or to give helpful advice. He loves and enjoys my family and most importantly loves to spend time with them.

There isn't anyone else I would rather spend my time or hopefully the rest of my life with because he gets me, he understands everything about me and yet still loves me.

I am so thankful for my Mr.
