365 days ago was the greatest day of my life up to that point. my incredible boyfriend asked me if I would spend my life with him, and of course, I said yes. he totally surprised me with it {something I still can't believe} and we spent the remainder of the day smiling giddily and calling everyone we knew :). here are some photos of our happiest day in 2010.  oh, here is the proposal video he sneakily took! thank you husband for being the most amazing, romantic, caring, smart and {sexy} man in the world. I love you with all my heart!  Happy One Year Engagement Day!! xxxxoooo

Reason # 893 why I love husband: He makes me amazing  delicious breakfast when I'm not feeling well {and by not feeling well of course I mean when I'm grumpy}. xxxxoooo to you husband.

I have a new blog name! I feel like my blog is more of a journal,a place where I write about what's going on in my life, things I am working on and everything I enjoy..and duh, I've been married only 8.5 months. I'll still consider myself a newlywed for the next 4 years or so ;). I'm so excited to have more of a direction with my blog! I've been brainstorming and taking notes like crazy to keep track of all these new ideas! Have a great weekend everyone!

My friend Alex has a dog named Matilda. Tilly is an English bulldog, the only one I've ever met in person. Even tho she has bad breath, licks a lot, pants like crazy and leaves hair everywhere, I kind of like her. Don't tell my husband tho, h has alway alway always wanted an English bulldog..I just don't know that I want all that licking and panting around me at all times. But look at these dogs, aren't the cute?!
