20 & Engaged.

For my birthday, I wanted to get in touch with my childhood home, and camp in the spot where I've camped a million times since being born (seriously); however, that spot was all booked up - so we settled for something a little closer to Jamestown. I had hoped that Aunt Jenny, Lex, and Sean could camp also, but they couldn't, and we drove to them..
Saturday morning, Matt packed up the car, snatched Tori up from her deep sleep - loaded her in - and picked me up from work. I was so excited, that I seriously didn't go to sleep until 10 that night. The drive didn't seem as long as I had remembered it, probably because we all talked the entire way.
First, we checked out our campsite before heading over to Aunt Jenny's.. where we spent the entire day just hanging out, talking and enjoying each others company.
Once we returned for the night, we swam quite a bit, then watched Matt attempt to start the fire for what felt like nearly two hours. It was pitch black when he decided to ask the neighboring campsite - who allowed us the use of their blowtorch.. hah
The very next day, we packed up after eating breakfast just as it was about to pour down on us. We stopped at Forbus for some fudge and ended up with 1 1/4 lbs. Deliciouuuuus, until we left it at Aunt Jenny's. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Before we went back to Aunt Jenny's, we stopped back off at Alvin C York Park, where we waded in the freezing water, ate lunch while it poured, and oh yeah I got engaged :D I was so incredibly stunned that my initial response was 'Really?'
I just couldn't believe it, it was out of nowhere..
But of course, the realization of the moment kicked in and I gave him a quick yes.
Oh, did I mention he was kneeling in that cold ass water when he asked me?
It was so beautiful and fantastic, I love it. And at one of my most favorite places as a child. I never forgot that park. I always remember the green bridge and the tiny little dam. Its gorgeous there, and I can't wait to go back.. And eventually take my children there (:

Currently, I'm planning my wedding and getting everything figured out. I'm also apartment hunting still, so my schedule is overfilled. I'm so excited though, so it's not so bad. Jade has pretty much become my wedding planner, haha. She doesn't know what realm she has just fell into.

Well, until I have more to share later on (:
Anddd, if you're interested in following along with my wedding plans n all that, you're more than welcome to check out my blog:

Right Here

What's new :D

Welllll I've been working at Amazon for a little over a month now. I am loving being with Matt so much more often. And sometimes he picks with me (: We share fifteen minutes of lunch together every single night, too. Which is awesome! Anddd since tomorrow is my day off, and Thursday is the fourth of July, I have two days off, work Friday night, and another two days off (given that we don't have overtime). I have been beasting it up though, in picking - so we better not have any damn overtime :D And yeah, sure my feet are killing me constantly, and the hours are super lonnnnnnng, but it's good money and money is what I need to get my life on track. Anddddddd I just applied to be hired on full-time so that I can begin to have full time benefits and all that jazz.
My Jadey-poo will be gracing the great state of Kentucky with her presence once more while Brandi-Joe graduates from basic. She and little Zach will be hoppin' a plane over here. I'm hoping to see the both of them (although, not Brandon, I don't believe).
In a couple-o'-weeks, I'll be turning twenty. And what this girl wants for her birthday is to do some primitive camping down in Tennessee with my family down there (: I found the place, got the (free) permit, and plan on taking the trip down there with Matt and Tori! Aunt Jenny, Sean, and Lex are supposed to camp with us, too. I'm so excited and I can't wait for that weekend. Again, overtime betta not ruin my plans. It shouldn't, though. Since I started here, we haven't had overtime not once. Luck or coincidence?
More or less 'recently' I've decided to clean up my life and straighten some things out. Firstly, no more fake celebrating religious holidays. I'm not religious, I'm not celebrating. That means you, Christmas. And tou-tah-lou Easter! If I want to show someone how much they mean to me through the embodiment of a 'gift' or 'present' I'll do it at whatever time of year I damn well please. I will; however, be greedy and shop when it's cheapest bwahahaha That's the American in me. Oh, wait, sorry... 'Murican.
And just this passed weekend, Matt and I drove up to my mammaws house in Indiana (200 miles that felt like 2,000). I enjoyed it a lot more than I had expected to. The drive is what killed me. No working stereo........ 'Nuff said. Got home around midnight (practically on the dot, lol). I got some veggies to bring home with me that are suuuuper delicious and straight out of her and Ed's garden, too!
Well, I'll be definitely posting pictures later.
And I mean a shit ton.
Boat loads.
Too many for this site to handle, possibly? We shall see.

And for anybody interested, here's my friend Jade's blog:
