Oh, I have a fiance now.... no big.

:) TJ proposed to me!!! On the Ides of March. :) He is adorable. So here's the story:

Well. You need the back story first. On our second date, we went on a scavenger hunt to find all of the Omaha Push pins. The first place we went was Boys Town. We could not find that pin anywhere! So we went on and looked for the others. Through out our relationship we have found more and more push pins. It's our ongoing scavenger hunt. We have gone back to Boys Town to find that pin several times. We have never been able to find it.

He picked me up from my house after work. We went to his house so he could change. I wasn't really feeling to well so when he asked if I was ready to go out for dinner I really didn't want to go. I could tell he was sad about it, so I said for us to go anyways. On our way down to Boston Market, he asked me if I wanted to find the Boys Town Pin since it was daylight. I said sure but I said we should do it after dinner since he was hungry now. He turned off anyways. We drove right to the pin. When we got out of the car, I started walking towards it. I reached out to grab his hand and he spun me around and got down on one knew and asked me to marry him. :) Of course I said yes! We took pictures with the ring and at the pin. It was an on going scavenger hunt to find the ring! haha.

The ring was very big so we took it right in to be sized. Since we didn't have a ring then, we didn't feel like we were engaged so we went to Walmart to get a fake ring. Don't worry. The ring pictured here is the real ring. He did so well! He picked it out all on his own. :)

I love him so much! I am so lucky to have him in my life. He makes me so happy. I cannot wait to spend eternity with my best friend!!!

ZOO!

Dr. Suess's Birthday!

In honor of Dr. Seuss's birthday, we made green eggs and ham! ok ok, so bacon isn't ham... but it IS from the same animal!

Dancey Dance

Weird Faces. hahaha. We went to P.F. Changs for dinner. We felt like we were in highschool going to prom again. haha.

At the dance.

Chicken Cordon Bleu and Interventions

We made chicken cordon bleu roll-ups. They ended up looking funny. But they tasted great!

We decided to have an intervention. :) This is a How I Met your Mother reference. Here's the clip. Sorry, It's all shaky. But it's still SO FUNNY.

This is his reaction. So funny.

Star Wars

We went to Star Wars Episode I in 3-D. The 3-D Glasses were epic!!! They had darth maul on the side!!! TJ and I bought our tickets at the kiosk so we didn't get the cool glasses. And I was really sad about it. So after the movie, Lorin went into the recycle glasses box and found some for us!!! :)

Another Lancers Games

We got another buy one get one deal for a lancers game so of course we had to do it!

The bird came right up to our section!!!

Favorite Picture

This is one of my all time favorite pictures. And here's why:

1. It's a picture of my brother and I, which believe me, there are not very many of those.

2. He and I spent six years together without our other siblings around. I feel we became much closer in that time despite our age difference.

3. Even in our later years when we were actually friends, in all our pictures together we look like we don't like each other. (Even though we mainly just did it as a joke)

4. I love my brother so very much. And This picture is so full of love. (I love my other siblings just as much)

5. This is the FIRST picture taken that he actually likes me. In every other picture before this he seems very upset that I exist.

I love him so much! He is an amazing man. He is such a great example to me in all that he does. He really is amazing. I am so grateful to have such wonderful siblings.

Hangin' Out

Sunday's are the best days. We get to go to church and feel the spirit and then we have the whole day to just relax. On this particular sunday, we spent time looking through some one photo albums.

Then we played our regular sunday game of Killer Bunnies!!!

Blue Man Group!

Before we went to Blue Man Group, we decided to go to Fudruckers for dinner. Fudruckers is SO delicious! We tried it in October and fell in love with it. It's a little pricey though so we don't go very often.

This is a brand new Fudruckers and they have this 100+ flavor pop machine! It's touch screen so you touch the brand you want. And then you pick with flavor you want with it. Or you can fill your cup and add your own Hi-Cee flavoring. SO COOL!

oh my goodness. SO GOOD. Now that I'm looking at it, I'm craving it now.... too bad we won't be having it for quite some time! :(

At the Orpheum. Isn't he so handsome? I love him so much!

The Beautiful Orpheum!!! P.S. If you ever have the chance to go see Blue Man Group, GO!!! It was so amazing! They are so hilarious! Seriously. GO!

Brunch!

We got really into watching the show How I Met your Mother (click for a sample of the show. Ignore the last 30 seconds of the video)..... basically, it's our favorite show. Well, on this show, they often times get brunch. So we decided we really wanted to get brunch. Since I didn't have class until one, we decided it would be just perfect to go!

I opened the door to TJ holding my pair of TOMS that I had ordered earlier that week! Oh it was so exciting! My first pair! BTW, TOMS are a shoe organization that sell shoes one for one. So each pair bought gives a child in Africa a pair. They also now have a glasses one. So you can buy sunglasses and it gives a child a brand new pair of prescription glasses. It's amazing. And wonderful. And I was not expecting these shoes to be all the amazing, but let me tell you, they are my most comfortable pair of shoes I own! I wear them every time I have a long day at work. So comfy! So, buy them! They are a bit expensive. But if you think about it, you a basically buying two pairs of shoes! You just get to keep one of them. Click on TOMS above to go to the site.

We decided to go to Le Peep. I think it's the most known brunch restaurant.

Yum!!!!!

Then he ate mine. :)

My AWESOME sunglasses that TJ bought for me because my old pair broke. These ones glow in the dark!!!

Hipstamatic Disposable Camera

Tj always finds all these awesomely cool apps. This one, is a disposable camera app. You can choose which camera you want to use and they each have different vintage affects. Fun fun!

Lancers!

We found an awesome deal for two tickets for ten dollars on Groupon! Groupon and the Living Social are pretty much our best friends.

This filmers shirt was pretty awesome.

Game.

He is so into watching the game! :) We won!!!!

New Years

We went to Famous Dave's for Dad's birthday. They overheard that it was his birthday and brought him out ice cream for us all to share! When it came out it had sparkler candles on it. I couldn't get my camera open in time to take the picture of the though. :/

We threw a New Years Party and celebrated Ryan's birthday as well! This is a picture of James planking the exercise ball.

Noah's Arc Was a Spaceship

This is TJ's brother's band. It's called Noah's Arc Was a Spaceship. They are pretty good! You should look them up sometime. They have videos on YouTube.

Mike and Careena came with us to watch the show.

This is TJs brother, he plays the drums...

Having fun.

I don't remember what happened to make this picture. But it makes me laugh to look at it!
