Engagement:

I was totally surprised by it. We had looked at rings a little bit, but it was more for fun than anything. DH and I had taken a Monday of for a Seahawks game but it got moved to Sunday. We decided to keep that day off and hang out. He mentioned walking to the park by our house and lunch at a nearby cafe since it was sunny. It was something we did so I still had no clue.

He was acting strangely all day and ignoring me and playing video Games so when it came time to leave I was a brat and made him wait. We eventually walked up there though and I began to get a little suspicious when he took me out to the dock.

He said all of the right things and I said oh shit! And that was it. We went to the little cafe to celebrate and had champagne at home.

It was private and we still love going to those places all the time. That is actually where we did our e-pics.

Inserting terrible pic of me, I hated wearing my glasses but needed to do I could have eye surgery

Wedding:

It was perfect! I never thought I wanted to get married then I thought we would elope on a beach somewhere but our wedding turned out to be very "us".

The location was Broadmoor golf club and it was so beautiful there. My uncle is a member so we were able to use it.

I planned everything and was OCD but really enjoyed doing it.

We wrote our own vows and ceremony and one of our friends married us.

The reception was a giant party and people had ties on their heads by 7:30.

It makes me smile that other people still talk about it...

Last one I think:

I was classy and walked around with this a lot of the night. It became a communal beer though.

I loved watching my parents friends chug

How long did you date before you got engaged? 5 years

What made you decide to blow air into people's eyes? chance. I got a job through a temp agency to hold me over until I got a real job after I graduated. 5 years later I still love it

When we beat USC when they were ranked #3 and everyone rushed the field. I had the swine flu and almost bailed. So glad I didn't!

[madDawg228]

How would you rank all the schools in the Pac12, with the first being the most awesome and the last being the worst? (Arizona, ASU, Cal, Colorado, Oregon, OSU, Stanford, UCLA, USC, Utah, UW, and WSU)

[madDawg228]

What is your favorite UW Sports-eccentric Sports Bar?

[madDawg228]

He went, I didn't I always wanted to but I got a scholarship and independent research at UPS that I couldn't turn down. If all goes according to plan I will be a husky soon

I would push B's sister to have twins.





But really they are too cute not to love. We would just not talk football or basketball.

So...

Why do you want to go to nursing school? I love working in health care and I am passionate about helping our patients. It just fits me.

What kind of nurse do you want to be? I am not sure. If I can hack it maybe ARNP at some point?

How long does that take? If I stay on course I will finish pre-reqs in a year and then wait a year for the program that is 2 years. So forever!

Are you still going to work full time? Yup

Does blood every make you squeemish? No

What about poop? No but I hate mucous
