Engagment!
This is slightly delayed in announcing but my cousin Melissa and her boyfriend Kent got engaged on New Years Day! We are so happy for them and thrilled to have another wedding in the family to plan! We all knew he bought the ring so we were anxiously awaiting for him to pop the question. She was surprised and we couldn't have been happier. We can not wait for their June 2012 wedding up on Washington Island and all the planning and fun that this next year and half brings! We love you guys and congrats!

Happy Sunday!
Well I finally decided on which two frames I wanted. I got both of them in a french vanilla color with a brown vintage glaze to it, which is what the bigger frame looks like. I can't wait for her to order them for me. These are the two different styles we got. Not the same sizes though.
After long talks Jeff and I finally decided it is time to start attempting to search for a house for us. There is no rush because we rent the house we are in from my parents, but with interest rates and the housing market so low we thought we mise well start looking. Jeff sat down with people at work and got us all pre approved so now I am going to just start looking. We have a pretty specific area we would want to buy a house and I have picky taste so we will see what we come up with. So hopefully time will tell if we find a house or not!
I hope everyone has a great Sunday. We are off to babysit our favorite girl Camdyn! Then I have football practice and ending the day with a cook out at my parents. Enjoy your football Sunday!

Valentines Day
I cant believe Valentines Day is right around the corner. I think I may make some heart shaped brownies for the kids in my class. They are cute.

Julie Paisley Photography
This great photographer is doing a give away. If you post on your blog or facebook you can enter and win a surprise gift!
Giveaway
I have been talking back and forth with her because she offers this awesome product that only photographers have access to. It is these beautiful picture frames.
I am going to purchase a large one just like this picture and possibly a smaller one and put some wedding pictures in them.
I am obsessed with these. They come in different styles and colors.

Recap of the weekend!
We have had a great weekend just hanging and being with friends and family. I feel like all we have done is eat, but we will get back to working out and eating healthy this week. .
Friday we had a football game which we won! We were playing David Garrad's wife (if you aren't from Jacksonville that is the Jaguars quarterback). He was the coach and they had microphones, i-pads for their plays it was a tad bit ridiculous, so it was nice to beat them. He was a very nice guy though, his wife on the other hand was a little crazy. We went out to celebrate with the team after.
On Saturday we went shopping, I knew I was going to buy Jeff a nice fishing pole and reel, since my dad bought a boat for all of us all he has wanted was fishing gear. So I took him with me to buy exactly what he wanted. We went to lunch and then we went and picked up the top tier of our wedding cake.
Saturday night we went and had dinner with our closest friends, Allie Brandon and Camdyn. Had to throw a picture of Camdyn in here because she is just beautiful and growing up so quickly...
On Sunday we went to Church and out to lunch with my family and cousin. Then we came home and believe it or not cleaned the house. We went out to dinner at Ruth's Chris for dinner, it is our favorite steak place! We showed up and they had our table decorated with rose petals and a little card. It was absolutely delicious. They even let us bring our cake there so we could cut it at the restaurant.
We decided we would give gifts for our anniversary but we would also do the traditional gift.
Here is the list of what you are suppose to give for every year. For your first anniversary you are suppose to give paper.
Anniversary Gifts by Year
So that being said I opened up my card and was reading all the stuff he wrote then there was a piece of paper. I opened it thinking it was probably a gift certificate of some sort and this is what I found
I was super surprised and excited. It was a map of Italy and in my card he said we are going to Italy! I've always wanted to go, but Jeff finally agreed. I told him before that I have to go to Italy before I have children because we will never be able to get there for two or three weeks while we have kids. So he said he promises we will go. I want to try to start having kids in three years and Jeff says 4 years, so at least we know we will be going sometime before then! We just have to find a good time that will work with both of our work schedules. I was thinking next summer since I am a teacher and we are out for school, but we have my cousins wedding up in Wisconsin that we will be gone for a while in June then we go to the Keys for a week or two in July. So I am not sure if that will work out so we may have to postpone it to the next summer. Either way I am starting to do some research and I am super excited!! If anyone has been to Italy and has any great advice or recommendations for me to start looking into that would be great. It helps my sister and cousin have already been so they have the places I should absolutely visit and some I shouldn't bother with. But I have plenty of time to plan my trip out as we have a year or two before we will be going!
So it was a fabulous first anniversary. We are going to celebrate with my family tonight and then we will call it quits with all this eating out! We are going to go enjoy our day off on a rainy day and watch a movie on the couch!
