October 20th

One year ago today, my boyfriend took me on the best date I'd ever been on. 
He also gave me the best present I've ever received. 
A beautiful engagement ring. [to read the full story of our engagement, click here!]

i can't believe I've had this ring on my finger for a year. seems like just yesterday...

Today, I decided to give him something that he would appreciate. 
maybe not as much as I appreciated an engagement ring... but how can I compete with that?

All weekend, Mike has been gone on a camp retreat. 
I've been cleaning the house, doing constant laundry, making the house look nice for his return, 
AND making his favorite cupcakes.  
I also bought him a few T-shirts, hopefully he likes them.




I know this seems like a girly thing to do, but I think he'll like it.

my love for a boy.

Last night Mike and I had a bit of a scare.
Mike had some funny feelings in his chest for a few weeks already, and it was just getting worse. 
He just needed to know that there was nothing wrong, and give himself (and me) some peace of mind.
So we went to the emergency room. 
Because he's had heart issues in the past, he was a top priority -- which meant we didn't have to wait very long. 
But once he got in, and was laying on the bed, we waited for hours. 
They ran a few tests and figured out nothing was terribly wrong with him.
Phewf. 

This morning, we both called into work and slept in, seeing as we only got to bed around 3 am.
Having scary moments, like not knowing if my husband has something wrong with his heart, makes me appreciate him, and being with him so much more.
We kissed and cuddled this morning, and i loved every minute of it. 
We also took some time to thank God for his miracles, and his mercy.


i love this boy so flippin' much.
