3 years ago...

Austin tricked me. We went to dinner with friends. I thought for sure we weren't getting engaged that night.

Then, supposedly there was a bonfire at another friend's house. Definitely was not going to happen tonight (or so i thought...) I still wonder what would have happened if I said I didn't want to go to the bonfire??

We pulled up to the house where the "bonfire" was (still oblivious) and thought, "How nice! His grandparents decorated for us all to come over!" (I had not yet seen the candles and flowers).

And then it hit me. And I made a really strange noise. Austin said it was weird. It all made sense now why he was acting so weird that night. Everyone was in on it (besides me). He had the ring in his pocket the whole time and I had no clue. I even asked him on the way over there when we were getting engaged. (Apparently I was getting a little impatient?) It was the best day of my life...besides the wedding, of course. I sometimes really miss the wedding planning. Is that weird?

p.s. is it just me or do we look much younger in these pictures??

my hopes and dreams...

I found my 4th grade project this morning -- Courtney's Autobiography -- and laughed pretty much the entire way through it. I am pretty sure my dad wrote most of it, but this part was definitely my doing:

"I hope I will get married and have at least two kids. I hope I can pass the driving test when I am 16 and my parents buy me a Honda del Sol."


Who wouldn't want a car where the roof can be taken off and stored in the trunk??

candy...or $100?


Bet: That I cannot go a month without candy.

Prize: $100

This all started last night when I told Austin i NEVER ate as much candy as I do now...thanks to him -- the candy king. Goes to the store for Advil...comes home with Advil, sweedish fish, and sour patch kids. I have turned into that. No Target trip is complete without a trip down the candy isle.

I am determined to win this bet. (Even though we didn't shake on it...I'm still holding Austin to his end of the deal). How convenient that this started the day after Easter with a basket full of candy for Austin to enjoy all by himself??

One day down...30 to go.
