WE GOT ENGAGED!

Just got back from Vegas and I am officially engaged. On the first night out there Greg and I went up in the Eiffel Tower and he purposed to me. He got down on one knee and asked me to make him the happiest person for the rest of his life. I was shocked and said YES. So we are planning to get married on May 8, 2010. We are playing off of Mom and Dad's 50th date and May was the first 8th that fell on a Saturday. So save that date and come celebrate our happiness with us.

Got to play Dr.

I guess issues with fingers must be running in our family. Greg sliced open his finger the other day and the minute that I saw blood on the walls and floor I KNEW something wasn't right. So I check on him at the kitchen sink and there is blood everywhere. I mean everywhere and it is getting worse. It was POURING out of his finger. So I hop to....I don't even remember what all I did but he said he was proud that I was his girlfriend.....Keep in mind when I cut my own finger I thought I needed to lay down and pass out. So I try to convince him that we need to go to the ER and have his finger sewn back together. BUT (if you have a man in your life you know what comes next) he doesn't want to go. "It will be okay" is what he says, as he pulls this stringy thing out of his cut and I get the scissors and cut it off. I don't know what it was and I don't think I want to. So I get it all cleaned up and we head to the store to get more stuff to keep it together. Now is when I start feeling light headed and a little sick at my stomache. So I say to him "I think we need to get out of this store."

All said and done I have butterflied his finger back together twice and I was okay both times. The smell of blood though is horrible and it took a long time to get the smell out of my head. Today the slice opened up again and I begged him to go to the Dr. Again you know what I got...."NO it will heal on it's own." So there I was butterflying it back together again. So I'll keep Doctoring it as long as I can and hope to God that it heals like it should.

So Excited about Vegas

Well it's almost Spring Break and if you teach you know the importance of this week :) Greg and I are going to Vegas over Spring Break this year. I am so excited. We are meeting two other couples out there and are just going to enjoy being away from real life for a while. We have been saving for like 8 months. We are staying at Planet Hollywood with a view of the Bellagio fountains (my favorite part of Vegas). I could spend hours and hours just sitting at the Bellagio watching the fountains and laughing at the people. (There are some very funny people in Vegas)

I just realized the other day that we will be there for St. Patty's day so that would be a very fun and exciting time. I'm praying for great weather and a fun time had by all. Look for the many many pictures that I will take and post when I get back.
