Christmas / New Years and Wedding

Christmas /
New Years and wedding

Well
Christmas has come and gone for the 2010 year and what a year it
was. Had a good Christmas and New Years with Family and Friends. I
also had a good time with Lori’s Family and Friends for Christmas
and New Years. I got a lot really cool gift’s this year from my
Family and Lori’s Family. Lori and I got a new Pre-lit 7 1/2ft
Christmas Tree this year. We also put out our Christmas lights.

My
Family got us

My parents got
Lori and I a Fire Pit for the back yard. I hope to have that
together Wed or Thursday this week. My Aunt Kim and Uncle John got
Lori and I stuff with the Letter “M” on them and some wine stuff.
They also got us each a bag with our initials on them.

Lori’s Family
got us

Lori’s Parents got us
(me b.c I will use it more) a Blower for the yard / Black Crocs
that I have been wanting. Lori’s Aunt Nelda got me a short sleeve
Polo shirt and a Fleece Vest / a lot of Ranger stuff (b.c the
Rangers beat the NYY) / $10 to Starbucks. Lori’s Aunt Roselyn and
Uncle Fred and cousins got me a short sleeve Polo shirt / Wal-mart
gift card and an Outback Gift card. Lori’s Sister got me a 4 glass
drinking set with the “A Christmas Story” them on them. I love the
movie “A Christmas Story”. Next year I am thinking about getting
the blow up Leg from the movie “A Christmas Story” and stick it
right in the front of the front yard. 🙂 For New Years: Lori and I
hung out with her sister Julie and Julie’s Friend Kyle. We went do
dinner at Shoguns (such a good place to go eat)! After dinner we
wanted to go Bowl but both bowling alies had a private party going
on and wanted $100 to even play while the party was going on. (It
did include shoes / pizza and a lane) I guess that was a good
deal… “If you didn’t have dinner yet”. So we ended up going back
over to her parents house and watched the new movie Robin Hood.
That about does the Christmas and New Years run down.

Update on
Wedding Stuff

I think Lori and
I have decided on a place for our Reception just right now we are
trying to get our # of guests down to where everyone will fit and
also I think the date we are set on will be 11/05/2011. That date
will be set I (we) hope Wed or Thursday. We are both looking
forward to our wedding that is only in about 11 months away… Man
where does the time go??

Lori’s sister Julie will be flying aC-17

The “Question”….

Since the last post. I had been talking about saving up for a ring for Lori. Well I got it just before Thanksgiving. I was wanting to have it before the weekend before Thanksgiving. Lori and I took a weekend vacation to Austin and San Antonio. We had a great time getting away from the busy schedule up here in Denton… (i.e. Work). The only downside the that weekend was that I didn’t get to do what I wanted to do… The ring didn’t come in before we went out-of-town. So I went and got it when we got back on Sunday from Austin and San Antonio.  She did not know that I went and got it that day and came home with the ring she really wanted. Well on Tuesday 2 days before Thanksgiving I popped the “Question” to her and She said “YES”. We have been engaged for almost 1 month. We have been looking around at places to get married and have our reception. We have not yet set a permanent date yet.  But she did love the ring and here is what the ring looks like….

I will post more later down the road with and update of the wedding planning and if there has been anything new…

Me, Lori and her Family did go to Mississippi this past Thursday – Saturday for Julie’s graduation from the Air Force. She got her wings and is now a Pilot for the United States Air Force.  We are so proud of her!! She will be flying the C-17 at the Travis Air Force Base in Cali. We are already trying to figure out when we can go and visit her when she is their full time. After all her extensive training.

The Big move and more…

Well, I got someone to take over my apartment back in March and moved in with Lori. We have been having a great time since I moved in. I do the things I need to do around the house and whatever else needs to be done. I am saving up my money to get the Engagement Ring that Lori and I have found. I should have the money to buy around November. I am also taking care of other stuff that needs to be payed off that will / should be done soon…

I have also picked up another sport. Its called Disc Golf, I did not realize how fun that sport is. Just have to watch out for snakes and bee’s. My friend Jeromy, got into Poison Oak and is having a hard time getting rid of it. His wife is having a baby girl and the baby room looks wonderful! I think they did a good job on the painting and decorations! I can not wait till they have the little girl. I just love baby’s they are fun to hold and to watch while they sleep.
