Baylee Bug Ruiz

I thought I would share about our newest addition. :D Justin's parents gave her to me for a Christmas present. Right now she is 11 weeks old today.

She is just learning to potty train. Because we live on the 3rd floor of our apartment, we have been puppy pad training her. OH has it been hard. She is learning, however very slowly.

She is so outgoing and playful. She loves to play like crazy. You know when she is going to crash hard though, because right before she bolts around the house. It is so funny.

She loves her kennel. It is like her own little domain. Whenever it gets quiet, we say... "where is Baylee?". We look, and she is in her little kennel.

We learned though at Christmas, that she does NOT like wrapping paper. She also does not like the vaccuum.

We are so excited to raise her and see her grow. :D I love her so much already!

Chili Much?

So, today I did something I have never done before.

TRIED WENDYS CHILI. 

I was told they are infamous for it! However, never have I took the plunge to try it!

The result was amazing! :D Really good in fact! I will probably get it again! :D

I thought I would share my story.

Christmas 2009

WOW. What a great Christmas this year was. This Christmas was our second one that we have spent alone at our home, however the first one as a married couple. I love waking up with just him and I, on our own time.

This year, he was the one to wake up first. He was actually skipping around the house trying to wake me up!

We opened up the gifts we had for each other. I got a nice digital camera, and a Wii. Justin got clothes, a Carhartt coat, a router and x box live membership for a year. Oh, he also got a hat.

After we were done there, we went to Justin's parents house. They gave Justin a nice Craftsman tool set. VERY nice. We got slippers, bath items and other little things.

Justins parents also got our new family member for me, for Christmas. Baylee Ruiz. Our little blond Shih Tzu. She is such a cute dog. She is so much fun.:D

After that we went to my parents. This year I think things actually hit me with them. My parents have never been well off. Ever since we were little, they struggled to get us anything for Christmas. I have always been greatful, however never really got it. This year, I got it. All I really wanted from them, is to spend time... and eat Joe McMuffins. OH MY GAH..... Joe McMuffins are the best.

They got us a gift certificate to Smiths (which is awesome). And they also got us a new Brita water filter for our fridge. The water tastes amazing! :D

After my parents house, we went to Justin's Gram's house. She gave us a few items and some cash money, which is always helpful. All we really wanted was Grams Gravy. She makes theee best sausage gravy in the world!

This year I was happy about the stuff I received... but I was more excited for the things I gave. I hope every gift I gave this year, brings happiness to each family member!

Justin's birthday was on the 26th. He turned 27! He received boots from his parents. I got him the x box live membership, however just gave it to him a day early. :). All of my family, and his family went out to eat at the Golden Corral. It was a lot of fun! 

That is our Christmas holiday summed up. I cannot wait for New Years. Not really sure what we are doing yet, however I am excited for it all! :D 

WOW! SO much has happened!

Alot has happened. I have had our Wedding. It was perfect. I didn't ever want it to end. Everything about it, went just as I wanted it to! :D
For our honeymoon we went to Las Vegas! SO much fun! I cannot tell you how fun it was to just be away from everything!
Right now life is really good as newlyweds. We are actually trying for a baby. I will keep everyone updated on that! :D

Updates, UPDATES!!!

Holy cow, how things change!!!!
Not too much is going on lately. We are still planning the wedding. I have finally found a photographer! YAY! Things are coming along very quickly! I mean, 111 days left! That is crazy! A little less than 4 months left! I am so stoked though. Justin is such an amazing person and a wonderful best friend. I am truly marrying the man of my dreams. I am so lucky I have him!
On another note..... I am almost 21!! YAY! Finally I am not limited to do things. Justin is 26 and always wants to go out and do things. But we are very limited due to my age. But not anymore!!
A little while ago, we went with Justins family to get family photos done! As you can see.
But, things are awesome lately. I am really loving life! ;)

Pick A Place, Darlin...You Pick A Place

SO, drum roll please?? WE HAVE FOUND OUR WEDDING PLACE! Finally! I am so excited. It is so pretty. It is one of my dads friends back yard, well front yard. I know that sound silly. But... this isnt a home. It is a mansion. HUGE. I am so excited!!! YAYAYAYAY! Finally. It is a big stress reliever ya know?

Welp, I will fill you in on other shizz, as needed. :)

OMG! It is so crazy lately! I found my dress! YAY! I would post a picture up, but I don't want Justin to see it! :) I am so stoked for my wedding. I can't wait!! It is too far away!

Saturday was really fun. We went and I got my wedding dress. Then, my fam and Justins fam ( just the girls) went out to lunch. It was really fun! I loved it! Later that night, my mom and I went to this wedding convention. I got some more crazy ideas for my weddin! ;)

Sunday was really fun also! Justin and I decided to make stuffed mushrooms. OMG, they were to die for. They were so good!! :) Then we headed over to Justin's uncles house. I had to wear all of Justins Steelers gear. ( Yes, I have now been converted to a Steelers fan, I kind of have to!!!) Heheh. It was really fun. I love getting together with the fam.

BIG LOVE was also on. I have to give another OMG! It was so good! I can't wait till next week!!!

Well, Ta ta! :)

Finding The Dress!!

So, I have an appointment on Saturday to try on dresses at David Bridal! OH MY! It is going to be so fun! My Mom, sister, Dawn, Amber, Emily are all coming from my side. Justins Mom, Gram, Aunt and 2 cousins are coming from his side! I am so stoked! It is going to be a fun day! The dress I want is SO beautiful OH my gosh! Don't you think so? So, I will fill everyone in, after Sat about how it went! :)

The Big Day

So, we have decided our date. July 18th, 09! Do you know how early that is?!? OH MY! I have so many ideas in my head. I am so excited for everything. I cannot tell you. I have looked forward to that moment my whole entire life.

I am getting married to the man of my dreams! Seriously, I mean he isn't perfect... who is? But, he is such a gentleman. I love how he cares so much about me. I trust him with everything I have. Living together has been really fun! You find out so many things wehen you live together before you are married! And in my case... I am very happy I have lived with him. I don't care what any one says. This is how I do it! :0) Anywho... everything is goooood!
