2013 has started with lots of excitement in planning for the future! On new years day my fiance and I decided on our wedding date! Save the date will be announced in the coming months. We also spoke with our parents and got their approval on our wedding plans. So much to look forward to this year and next year.
Additionally, 2013 will be filled with fun filled trips. Going to Hawaii in 01/2013 and Wisconsin as usual to visit family.
Wow in one year I will no longer hold my 4 letter last name. Instead I will be Mrs. 11 letter last name.

2012 Recap
2012 was not the end of the world YAH!
2012 was a pleasant year. Moved around a lot, sacrificed comfort for finance, and bought my first home.
It was an exciting and stressfull year looking for a home and finally settling down in October. My fiance worked hard on remodelig the home and I worked hard and choosing the style for the home. All that's left to do is decorating and making the home stylishly us.
Happy to have survived 2012 in good health and with great people

Gizmo
For our 4 year anniversary we got a french bulldog: Gizmo!
I didn't think I'd have enough love to share, but it's amazing how love can grow endlessly. I am learning to love both my puppies and share time with them equally.
Being a mom the second time around makes me understand why women change with babies in their lives. I'm learning from mistakes and learning how to be less self fish.

2011 Recap
2011 Recap: What a fun and sad year!
Love and I traveled a lot in 2011 - mainly because he plays paintball and go picked up by a Hawaiian team (love went to Hawaii w/out me). Love won his first national paintball event - hard work and passion pays off. I'm so proud of him and will help him become pro one day.
Places we visited: Huntington Beach, CA; Chicago, IL; Washington DC; Las Vegas;
Waukesha, WI
Job wise I have been promoted and still at the same job. I'm good at what I do and would like a increase in income :)
Nov 2011 we discovered my nephew has cancer. He's only 1 years old, poor baby going through the pain and chemo. My mom and dad are most effected by my nephew's cancer. My mom is an extremely loving grandmother who handles most of my nephew's medical forms and doctor visits. I pray my brother's little family will learn to live better lives with his son's cancer.
Ending of 2011 was a rocky year emotionally with the death of 3 family members in Nov-Dec on top of my nephew's cancer. This scares me as the adults around me continue to age. It'll be hard without my great-grandma, great-uncle, and uncle here on earth, but we'll learn to continue living.
As the funeral ceremonies and year came to an end, I finally was able to celebrate my birthday. My then-boyfriend got down on one knee and proposed at my birthday party and after 3 1/2 years, we are engaged. I'm thankful for my parents and friends who were there to share and witness our happiness with us.
2011 started off well but ended badly. I'm nervous to see what 2012 will bring.

CRAZY Love
CRAZY Love
Love is when you act without thinking. Love is time sensitive and dependent on location. Love is when you go the extra miles to get noticed. Love is when price does not matter. What have you done for love?
Some of my experience with CRAZY Love:
My father picked up my boyfriend to go to school dance with me - my dad later told me he never in his life imagined picking up my then-boyfriend for me - how embarrassing!
I sewed a red heart inside the sleeve of bf's shirt to symbolize he wears my heart.
I dropped everything and made/got lunch for my boyfriend and brought it to him for work every day.
I made a chocolate cake covered with raspberry for a guy's birthday and brought it to his sister's party - it was too obvious I liked him.
I moved out to live with my boyfriend whom my mom hated and now loves.

Luigi
Love bought us Luigi (boston terrier) for our 3 year anniversary. We made a deal to not celebrate since we got Luigi.
Love and I were talking about having our hearts broken in the past. I'm happy that our hearts were broken and that we found each other. Looking back, I wish I could find the one person who's heart I broke and apologize to him.
