The Granites Done!!!!!

The granite for our new home is FINALLY done!!! It looks soooo beautiful! There was one thing that we both really wanted that would be a somewhat big expense and I am so happy we invested in doing it cause it totally makes the house look AMAZING now!!! We are so excited to see the house as it progressively gets finish piece by piece... We are still working on the painting, carpet, etc, but we are having so much fun as we do it! :) Love to all! Ho Ho Hi Ho its off to work we go!

FaLL tiMe - YaTEs ciDer MiLL

Yesterday after church, me and Brandon headed off to Yates Cider Mill with his family. We had so much fun taking pictures and talking. Since me and Brandon have been dating we have been going to Yates as a yearly tradition together. It was nice to get in the swing of things to kick start off Fall!!!Fall is me and Brandon's favorite time of year.. yes we have lots of traditions in the Fall but we LOVE LOVE LOVE doing them!!!

FALL is going to be so awesome this year.. out last yr together during fall as a "dating couple" not married.

Painting OUR HOME!

Yesterday I got off of school and headed towards me and Brandon's new home! When I was gone on NY last week he started painting.. Everyone has been so awesome with helping us.. His mom, brother and aunt came all last week to help and Uncle Mike came on Monday to help with the trim! I love Uncle Mike so much!!! He is HILARIOUS! Yesterday it was just me and Brandon painting time! Everyday I see him I fall more and more in love with the man I am going to marry! I see a new side to him every time I am around him. It makes me so much more excited and happy when I know Brandon is THRILLED about something - like our condo. He has been working so hard to try to get the painting done last week and this week I love it! He is sooo adorable! We have lots to paint still but its getting there! We had a blast last night together painting the whole bathroom... I never realized how long one little room can take.. but we had lots of fun so I guess it was ok!

Off to paint tonight too!!!

Registering!!!!

So this past week me and Brandon started registering for our shower. It was seriously so much fun!!! I love the fact (most of the time) hehe that Brandon is so easy going about what colors I want the kitchen, the and the living room, but also he is very very adamant about things too, like the bathroom things and the bedroom colors lol. Watching him with the scanner gun, I could only smile and laugh at how cute he was when he scanned an item. Or how when I REALLY didn't want the snow cone machine that he did, that he would just settle on something else he REALLY wanted like the magic bullet :) He loves me so much and I know would give up anything for me, as I would too! I hope that our marriage will be the kind that complements each other, that is understanding - the way we were when registering, and SOOOO much fun like that was!!! :) haha


Love to All

Birthday Bash!!!

This weekend was my new brother Gabes 29th Birthday!!! It was sooo much fun! Early Saturday monrning, a bunch of us went to Ann Arbor to go 2 person kayaking (Gabes request) I later found out why he loves it so much - Hannah paddles the whole time while Gabe sits back and enjoys the view hehe :) NO - We had a blast though, had lunch, and then headed back for a birthday bash dinner at PF Changs with all Gabes Friends!

We had such a great time that we had to continue it with the family the next day after church! Wow Hannah is an amazing wife - She not only planned the whole day on Saturday, but she also bought all the food Sunday and did tons of planning for Gabe!!! She is adoreable. My mom is also sooo amazing! She help make all the food, and hosted the party at our house!

Me and Brandon are so grateful to have such amazing family!!! I cant wait to be the awesome wife Hannah is to Gabe to Brandon!

Happy Birthday Gabe!!!

Condos - Deal or No Deal

Yesterday I had an extremely hard day at school, no breaks and a 13 hr day there!!! While I was off at school Brandon and my mom were working hard on looking for a house or condo with an Aunt Bonnie ALL DAY!!! When I got home Brandon was VERY excited to show me a condo that he really was interested in for a VERY good price :) So we went and saw it - it was extremely nice.

Me and Brandon got home were both getting so excited.. Everyday that we do something for "planning for the day we get married" we fall in love all over again and cannot stop smiling!!!

We ended the night watching our favorite show together - "Deal or No Deal" with Danny!

I love spending time with Brandon, I know that whenever I have a bad day or am stressed out, I can always go to Brandon and feel relaxed and happy!

Bdubs With Friends

Last night was an awesome surprise.. I got out of school a little early and was able to go with Brandon to Buffalo Wild Wings last night with some friends... It was so much fun to get to see everyone, catch up, and for once just hangout..

That night I just stopped and realized that sometimes we need to just take a few min out of each week and put all our worries away, and our "list of things we have to do" and just appreciate each other, family, and friends. Brandon made me realize how important it is to do that. I love him so much, he has given me more than friendship...he is my one and true love.. he is my everything! :) "A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart, and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words."

Happy Campers/Ann Arbor Day!

We had so much fun this past weekend... WE WENT CAMPING!

I went up with my family on Friday to celebrate my dad's birthday. I was so sad that Brandon could not come up Friday and was so excited to hear that he would be coming up on Saturday night. Finally he showed up all cute in comfy camping clothes.

We had so much fun with my family, the Piccolos, and Grant. We roasted marshmallows, snuggled by the fire, played banana grams, had hobo pies, and talked all night. Then we went to sleep in what I call the deluxe way to go camping. In the old days we slept on cots on the floor but these we springy bunk beds as you can see in the pic :) 5 star compared to what we used to have :) It was such a fun weekend!!!



Then we went to Ann Arbor to see the newly weds Hannah and Gabe! We spent all day there having lunch, walking the town, talking, playing monopoly (which I won :) hehe), dinne, pinochole, and then finishing the night with a movie. IT WAS SOOOO Much fun!!!!
We are so blessed to have such great family and freinds to be with and spend time together!



AWESOME WEEKEND - Don't you think?

Newly Weds - The Moons

Yesterday me and Brandon drove over to the newly wed Mr and Mrs Moons house awaiting their arrival. We couldn't wait to see them. After me and Brandon had spent some time with Bethany and Mike and went out to dinner, the whole ride home we talked about how cute the two of them were and how much more excited it made us to get married when we saw the two of them together.

500 Nights Of Summer

So yesterday me and Brandon celebrated our 5 1/2 yr. Its funny to think that the next time we celebrate another milestone in our relationships we will be getting married 9 days after :) 

We went to Luciano's for dinner and then met up with my mom, dad, and emily to go see 500 Nights of Summer!!! It was one of those movies you rent when your at home and you WANT to fall asleep. haha but it as still fun!!!!!

Love to all! 

Wrestling!

So last night Around 10:30pm My amazing fiance surprised me and came over. We had so much fun talking and laughing all night. It was such a perfect night! He ALWAYS helps take my worries away! We decided to have a little arm wrestling war since Brandon always acts like he is much stonger than me which is VERY unlikely. After loosing MANY arm wrestling matches with him (even when I was putting all my weight on his arm with both hands and still not winning) we decided to keep the theme of our "wrestling night" going by ending the night watching "Rocky" :) It was the PERFECT end to my night and SOOOO much fun!!!

House Viewing/Bathlorette After The Final Rose

Yesterday was the real "first day" I got to see Brandon since I got back from Cali. I have been so busy with Hannah and Bethany's wedding coming up!!! Me and Brandon had so much fun together. We went to see the house that we bought and Bethany, Mike, and my AMAZING dad came to give us their input on the house.

We then went back to my house to watch the Bachelorette After The Final Rose :) Brandon is such a good sport! I love him so much and he loves to do anything I love to do!!!! I cannot wait to spend everyday with my best friend starting next Feb.
