It happened!

Well girls, I can finally say it. The beau proposed and I said ...

YES!

It happened on Tuesday, August 21st. I was definitely NOT expecting it at all. 

Brian and I had been emailing & calling each other all day just about some stuff that was going on. The last time I called him, he sounded really irritated. He told me he got slammed with some work stuff and was just really busy. I thought nothing of it because his work can get extremely busy a lot of times. 

5 o'clock rolls around and I book it out of work. I was just ready to hurry up and get home and get some stuff done. I get home and am rushing to get in the apartment so I can let Gopher out. I do this everyday without fail. So I unlock and open the door and it is dark in our apartment. There are candles EVERYWHERE. Then I notice that there are glow in the dark stars in like a path on the ceiling to my room. I walk into the hall way and all the love notes/cards I had ever written B are on the walls and doors. I knew exactly what was happening and was FREAKING OUT in my head.

I opened my door and he was there with Gopher (who helped him out with moral support -- he was nervous). He gave me his shpeal and got down on one knee. I started crying of course and freaked out!! 

It was a whirlwind that night. We had lots of calls to make and lots of texts to answer. 

To say that I am excited is an understatement. 

I will be sure to keep y'all as updated as possible with everything. I am already freaking out trying to figure everything out. I may or may not do things out of order sometimes. Oops!

So I know y'all are dying for pictures so here are two. The camera phone does not do my ring justice. I may be biased, but I have never ever seen something sparkle so much. 

That's all for today, ladies!

We are off to a wedding in Clemson tonight. Lord help us with all those Clemmie's! J/K

Can you tell we're both Gamecocks??

One week from tomorrow...

I will be turning....

.....

I think 25 is going to be a great year!

I hope to be indulging in some of these.

I already told the Beau that I wanted cupcakes instead of a cake.

YUM!

Hope y'all have a wonderful week!

Ready!

I am patiently waiting for B to get home. His flight leaves at 8 from Cincinatti. He should be home by about 9:45!! It was only a night, but I miss that man something fierce.

Catch Up Time

Hello everyone! Hope you all have been doing well. It has been an interesting few weeks. We have had a lot going on and have been BUSY!

A few weeks ago, I went to my sweet friend's baby shower for her little princess who is due practically any day now! We are all very excited and anxious as this is the first little baby girl of our group. I know I can't wait. Girls are just so much fun to buy for. I mean, who doesn't LOVE PINK!?

Doesn't she look just AWESOME? I hope I look half as good as she does when I get to that point in my life one day? {Sidenote: this is baby #2! Does it make you even more envious???}

YUMMY cake & cute to boot!

Some of you who keep up with me on here (as much as you can) or know me personally, might know that B & I have added an addition to our family. That addition is black, has four legs, and a long tail. His name is Gopher! It has been a long process for us starting in May. We rescued this baby from Lowcountry Lab Rescue. We (me) had a lapse in judgement and thought "I can't do it!" so we decided we would be his foster and help him find his home. He went and saw one family and then another family fell through. It was at that point I decided I could NOT give him up. It also didn't help that Brian was IN LOVE with him. He told me that if we had adopted him out that he would have cried. My boyfriend doesn't cry. And ladies, he was dead serious. With that being said, we have a sweet black labby who we LOVE. He is our fur baby. We are still learning his in's and out's. I grew up with labs so I am pretty knowledgeable on the breed. We are very happy with him, and we think he is pretty in love with us too. 

Last week, we headed to Charleston on Wednesday about 4. I hadn't been home since Father's Day so I was really looking forward to going home and seeing my family and friends. I also had surprised Brian with PGA tickets for our 3 year anniversary back in July. We went out to the PGA Championship on Thursday for the first round of play. We had a great time. Brian was SO excited and was smiling from ear to ear. We got to see everyone we wanted to see: Jason Dufner, Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Phil Mickelson, Bubba Watson, Hunter Mahan, Rickie Fowler (one of Brian's FAVORITES), Jim Furyk, and many more! It was VERY hot & humid out there at The Ocean Course, but it was great! I did not take any pictures with myself in them because it wasn't long before I was a sweaty mess. The hair went up in zero time. 

The beau!

We spent the rest of the weekend seeing friends and just hanging out. It was nice to actually be able to spend some time in Charleston instead of packing everything into one day and leaving the next. I am not sure when I will be back to Charleston. Hopefully soon! 

B is out of town for the night in Cincinatti for work. Me and Gopher are missing him something fierce and are ready to have him back already! I don't know how I thought I could ever live by myself. Crazy talk. 

I think I filled y'all in on everything. It seemed like a lot. I just have to make myself sit down and compile a blog post for y'all! Hope y'all have a great week! I am already ready for the weekend!
