Mud Run

So back in November my best friend and I did a Mud run. It was my first and her second.

It truly was an amazing experience I plan to continue to do. It pushed me physically and mentally. I didn't do as well as I wished but I finished and that's all that matters.

The next run is in May and I cannot wait. I've been working hard to stay in shape and hopefully have a better time! I want to push my self even harder this time and do better with some of the obstacles!

 

Here are some pictures enjoy!!

 

 

We did it and had such an AMAZING time!

 

The Dentist Made me Cry!!

Yes I'm almost 26 and the dentist made me cry yesterday.

I've always been a good brusher and rinser ..

HOWEVER when it comes to flossing .. I don't do it.

Well it finally bit me in the ass ..

Last August, yes in 2012, I went for my 6 month cleaning which was a few months late. I had a few cavities and one that the Dr said was pretty bad. I didn't "have the money" to pay to have them done right away. I know that's no excuse but I sure as hell used it!

With the wedding coming up ill be getting off my moms AMAZING insurance so I needed to get them taken care of.

I went in to have the bad one done, I knew it was bad and if I left it alone for too long I might have to have a root canal (I'm even cringing as I write this) but it never hurt .. Ever .. So I figure it was still all good!

NOT .. She was doing her thing while I lay there with my mouth open trying not to have a panic attack .. I dislike the sounds and vibration of one of the drills .. I hear her say "oh no" and she hands me a mirror to look in my mouth (no damn idea why) and there's blood EVERY WHERE.

I burst into tears. I was scarred cause I knew what that meant but I was also mad at my self for allowing this to happen ..

Thank go my mom was there (we just picked up my wedding dress together) she came to the back to comfort me and assured me I'd be fine!

THANK GOD for my mother .. Xoxoxo

{Wednesday Wake up}

Dear Marcus snuggles on the couch last night melted my heart.  You are truly a blessing in my life and I'm so grateful I get to marry you.  Dear Tank you gross me out when you eat dog poo outside, but some how I still love your hairy little self.  Dear morning cup of coffee .. you warm my body and my soul.  Dear family you seem to amaze me every day with how generous you can be. I cannot thank you enough for the help of this wedding reception.

 

 

Happy Wednesday my loves.

An Engagment

*Read Fall Creek Hike first!*

We get to the top and he says:

"see wasn't it all worth it?"

I look around and say:

"yes"-however i am searching for a place to sit my ass down and take a break for a moment

With my back turned to him -spotting a giant log that looks like a good seat

I hear "Nicole!"

I turn around and ....

I turn around quickly to see him 

down on one knee in front of me 

with the ring in his hand!

I scream "STEVEN" and instantly cry!

As I look into his eyes,

He tells me he loves me and that he is lucky to have me.

(however i feel like the lucky one to have him)

He says "i know you have waited a long time for this

I just hope its been worth the wait"

(3.5 years and the purchase of our home is more that worth the wait for this man)

He tells me he wants to spend forever with me, he even used my whole name

(that will be the last time for that!)

*at this point i still haven't really looked at the ring i couldn't help but look at him*

I of course said "yes" between all the tears!

He truly is my best friend, my one and only.  I've never been so happy in my whole life.

even though he made me hike for an hour and a half for this it was completely romantic and more than i could have ever asked for.

Due to the fact that i had barley put any make up on and was red in the face and sweaty we didn't get any amazing pictures but we did get a few.

He did an amazing job picking out the ring.  its exactly what i have always dreamed of.  its simple but completely gorgeous! and i had no idea this was gonna happen! 

*good job surprising me baby!*

I would not change a thing about this day.  I normally don't give him enough credit when it come to planning things or being romantic.  he bus be getting soft in his old age!

i just want to thank all of our family and friends for all of their kind words with our announcement.

Now its time for the planning to begin!! 

Here are a few pictures of the ring i cannot stop looking at it
