Guess I haven't been *too* naugty

Merry Christmas to you all! I hope everyone is enjoying this GLORIOUS day and remembering the true meaning behind Christmas.

Addam, the girls, and I went to my parents house this morning to have our Christmas breakfast and open presents there. My older sister was there as well. My parents surprised Addam and I by getting us a really nice 46 inch flat screen tv for our bedroom, since the tv we originally had ended up in the girls room... so if we wanted to watch a movie at night, we'd have to do it on Addam's desktop computer. This tv will be a wonderful addition to our room, that's for sure! My parents got the girls a few little gifts as well that they are enjoying.

Our breakfast at my parents was really nice, although anytime Addam and I are around them things get to a be a little awkward (long story). It would be really rude to say we were glad to leave, but we were just ready for go to Addam's moms house where we both knew the atmosphere would be a little better.

From my families house to his moms house is about a 2 hour drive and within 15 minutes in the car, the girls were asleep which gave Addam and I some nice quiet time to ourselves. When we got to his moms, we watched the girls open the rest of their presents then his mom took them outside for a little scavenger hunt. While they were out there playing, Addam and I were sitting on the floor by the fire place drinking wine and listening to Christmas music when we pulls out a jewelery box that had "Kay's" written on it. You know you're getting something really nice when you see the world "Kay" lol. He had special ordered me a GORGEOUS diamond horse shoe necklace. With money being so tight for us, it shocked me that he had spent so much but I am definitely grateful and put it on right away.

It feels so nice to finally be a family again, and that alone is the greatest Christmas present anyone could have ever given me!

We will spend the rest of today at his moms where we will have a huge dinner with the rest of his family and then spend the night. We may go back home tomorrow or stay another night. We aren't sure, but we're just enjoying family time. There is truly nothing better!

Happy Holiday's everyone!!!

Life... Life is GREAT

As you all know, I've been going down a pretty rocky path with Addam for about the past 6 or 7 months. We basically 'split up,' I moved out, and yatayatayata. Any who, things for the past 2 months have gotten pretty great. So now for my BIG announcement...... Despite the fact that we are already married..............







ADDAM PROPOSED (again)! I'm such a happy lady right now, and I couldn't have asked for a better Christmas present! We were laying in bed the other evening after I had just gotten back from a rough day at work. He kept staring at me ALL EVENING (creeeeeeeeepy!). Finally, after dinner he went to his room. I followed him so I could relax for the first time all day. He started talking to me and asking me a couple of little questions, and then sat up above me and said, "Will you marry me?" I just sort of looked at him before asking about 30 different times, "are you sure?" Of course I said yes. So we are going to plan a second wedding. Our first wedding was just at the court house, so this time we're going to do the whole "wedding dress at the chapel" thing.

So what do you ladies think of these 2 fancy numbers? I am in LOVE!

It'll probably be more than 1/2 a year before we actually have the wedding, but it's gonna happen (even if I have to drag him by his kahunas). Oh! And we're back to living together too. :) Ahhh yes, I am one happy gal!

On another note, I really hate ignorant, no good, dirty rotten people. So for the last 2 years I have been trying to find those reindeer antlers for your car that come with the little red nose for the grill of the car, but I never could find them. So this year I ordered them for $25 off of amazon. Any who, the other night I was at Addam's and when I went to go to my car one of the antlers had been snapped in half and the nose was completely gone. I'm FURIOUS! I told Kalie and Madelyn to find out which one of their little friends did this act of crime but I doubt I'll ever know. So thanks little rats, for ruining my lovely and very cute Rudolph car decorations! I hope Santa brings you nothing but a little lump of coal... frankly you don't even deserve that.
