I Said Yes

Ty had a rule for many years. He wouldn't think about marriage until the year and a half mark. His reason for this was all his past relationships had fallen apart at the year and a half mark and where he had thought about purposing to a few it never turned out.

Our year and a half mark had come around December of 2013. This was a major time for us but not because marriage was on the table. We where knee deep in buying a house. But that is another story for a different time. Christmas came and went. Moved into our new home. New Years came and went with no sign of a proposal on the main front.

Part of me had given up hope of that special day, well that was a lie I knew it would come when it was right and that it wasn't up to me. I knew I loved Ty and we had already entered a very legally binding contract that was a mortgage. We where happy and that was all that mattered.

Fast forward to Valentines Day 2014. One of our favorite bands where playing a show at a local bar- The Royal. We where both fans of Royal Bliss and where excited to celebrate this "holiday of love" together. We where going with a group of friends and Ty's Dad (Mike) and Step-Mom (Jaime) where even able to come. I had no idea what was about to play out.

That day was just like any other day except this depressed feeling I had that Ty would not do anything special for me on this day. I cried at work to my coworkers. My manager Michelle (also one of my BFF's) had reassured me that everything would be fine and that we would have a night to remember because we where going to party at the bar. Little did I know that she was in on the big surprise.  She sent me home from work a little early so I could be sure to clean up and look amazing before our fun night.

When I got home I got my special gift for him ready. While at work I had posted all the reasons why I loved him on sticky notes. A coworker had cut out little hearts that I then taped to our door. It was cute and cheesy.

Ty was late coming home, he said that he was working late but really he had devised a plan to make a special trip to my parents house to talk to both of them. He told them of his nightly plans and asked for their blessings. They where ecstatic!

When he made it home he brought me a dozen roses and a pack of Snickers, this was Michelle's idea to throw me off.

We got to the club around 8 o'clock and the place was packed! Our good friend Tess and her boyfriend Nate, were able to get a table on the patio which was cold but perfect to chat with friends. Ty got a call from his Dad and Jaime that they where outside but the tickets had just been sold out. Ty went into freak out mode trying to get his dad inside the building. They where finally able to talk to the lead singer of Royal Bliss, Neil, into putting them on the VIP list and saving the day.

The night was filled with drinking and laughing spending a good time with people we love. At one point Ty told me "You know what's sad? I was reading online no one ever buys shots for the band. They work so hard to entertain us and no one ever buys them a drink. By the end of the night Babe we will buy them a drink!"

I said okay without thinking twice about it because once Ty gets something in his head like that there is no changing his mind. Even when he took me to the bar to buy 6 shots of Jameson Whiskey I didn't think twice about it.

I could explain the rest but I like the video better. Please don't mind Jaime screaming. She was a tad bit excited.

Dog Shaming

I have always thought Dog Shaming was hilarious. Dog shaming is when your dog does something naughty you caption is with a little note/saying what they did wrong from the perspective of the dog. Here is a great site (dogshaming.com) with a ton of hilariously naughty dogs.

You will find out that Jilly and Dozer can be very naughty dogs. From shredding the carpet in our second bedroom to chewing up my favorite spatula and eating our left over wedding cake. He knocked it on the floor when the lid fell off he ate as much as he could in the matter of 30 seconds.

I could never get the right picture for shaming. I am usually to upset and don't think about it until after I have cleaned up the mess. Until one day when I came home to this!

Jilly likes to sleep with a pillow. She will curl herself up in between the pillow case  and pillow and make a nice little nest. During a naughty day when Ty and I where at work they pulled out her pillow and un-stuffed it. It was too funny to miss.

 Ooops!

 I took my separation anxiety our on the pillow.

And my favorite- "It was too fluffy."

When it Rains

The past few days have been filled with rain. I love rain storms and so far the fall ones have not disappointed me. It's nice that the weather is finally cooling off and I can wear my sweaters again!

Yesterday as Ty go home, his truck broke. Apparently a caliper rubbed on something and it broke spilling break fluid all over. I don't know all the details on how or what broke- just that we are no short one vehicle and Ty was upset that it had to rain/hail on his way home from work on his bike.
