Our Engagement Story

Tuesday, February 17, 2015

I haven't posted much about Brenden and my relationship so I figured I would share our engagement story! One day I will share about when we met and things we did before we got engaged but this is where I wanted to start. 
**We were only together for four months before we got engaged!**

On Monday, August 18th, 2014 after work Brenden said he wanted to go to dinner, I sighed and said "can we just stay in bed pleaseeeee, I'm tired..." He said no get your butt up and lets go. So I did and we had a really nice dinner at TGI Fridays. After dinner Brenden said we were invited to our good friend Brittany's house for a bonfire and we really should go (at this point I am thinking he is crazy, 1. its a weeknight and we have to get up early the next morning, and 2. I am super tired, enough said! Haha). I begged him to just go home and let me go to bed early but he was very persistent, which is odd for him. 

After we got to Brittany's and we all had a couple beers the guys went inside to get everyone more drinks (after he proposed I found out that when they went inside he was filling them in on when to take pictures and record it). A little after the guys brought the drinks back it got super quiet then our friends turned the lights on their phones on. I was SOOOO confused and had absolutely no idea what was going on! Then Brenden got down on one knee right in front of me and asked me to marry him! I was so excited and surprised that I didn't even say "yes" until Brittany yelled "so what do you say?!" then I did say yes. I guess I thought that I said it before but I was so shocked that I didn't.



So that was a short summary of our proposal.

The Guy Behind The Blog

Saturday, January 31, 2015

http://www.betsygettis.com/2015/01/the-guys-behind-blog.html


1 // have you ever had a blog, or have you ever considered starting one?

The only blog thing i have ever had, was probably the little blog thing on MySpace.

2 // if you could be a member of any band, which one would it be?

Thats a tough one, but it would have to be Brantley Gilbert just because hes my favorite music artist.

3 // valentine's day is on the horizon...are you the date-planner type or do you fly by the seat of your pants?  do you have anything planned for February 14 this year?

Honestly, I just do whats comes to mind, I do however get her presents for it but this year she has it planned out.

 4 // tell us about a date-night-gone-wrong for you and your fiancĂ©.

I don't think we've ever had a date night gone wrong.

(He might not think so but I think our "date" the other night snowmobiling didn't go as planned at all... To elaborate a little Brenden's friend invited us to go snowmobiling with him since he has an extra one, we show up and the guy is an hour late, he had to have Brenden help him fix one of the snowmobiles and the other was at a friends so we have to take turns riding it and it wasn't running right so we only got to ride for 5 min [if that].)

 5 // and let's cover all the topics...sports...who are you rooting for in the superbowl and why?

Im not really a fan of football but i feel as if the patriots will take the win. 

(He's a hockey fan.... go Penguins!!)



xoxo,
Courtney and Brenden

Specialist

Tuesday, January 13, 2015

I am very happy to announce that my love is now a Specialist! I am soooo proud of him! He has been working so hard lately and now he got his promotion! Now we have mixed emotions on the schooling he will be going to.... I am sooo excited for him but yet I always dread when he isn't at home with me! I get so lonely at home and hate not having him right by my side at work. But once again I can't say enough on how proud I am of him!!!






xoxo,
Courtney

Goals for 2015

Monday, January 12, 2015

Instead of New Years resolutions I am going to have "goals". I never end up actually doing the resolutions that I make so maybe if I have goals then I might actually accomplish "some" of them! Here is my list of goals:

1). Be healthier. I would like to start eating better and healthier instead of just quick premade frozen foods that are so much easier after working all day. I  love healthy foods just too lazy to spend a long time in the kitchen after work. I am going to get more fruits and veggies and hopefully convince Brenden to spend more time in the kitchen helping me with meals. Hey a girl can only hope, right?! Also I really want to start working out again but I HATE going to the gym, there's just tooo many people and I get anxious! So I pinned a bunch of at home workout plans. Hopefully I find one or a few I like!

2). Have a better relationship with God. I really would love to start getting involved at a Church that I just started going to (Okay I've only been there twice so far). But I would like to find a small group to be a part of. I also would really like to find a weekly Bible reading plan (daily Bible readings have been too hard for me to keep up with in the past so maybe weekly will work better for me).

3). Keep having date nights and strengthen my relationship with Brenden. We have really been slacking on the date nights lately, we plan on dinners or other things but when we get home to change we end up just staying in. We are always so exhausted after work that we like to just cuddle up on the couch and watch a movie. Heck, on week nights we normally eat dinner right when we get home then go straight to bed! So I would really like for us to set aside at least one night a week to go out for dinner, a movie, or something.

4). Be more organized. Let me elaborate on this a little.... I am very OCD and organized *normally* but lately with trying to be organized at the office and at home I have started to let my house slip a little.

5). Read more books. I love to read! I just don't make time to do it anymore. I would love to start reading at least one book a month (and hopefully blog about them when I am finished).

I hope to stick with these goals this year and hope blogging about them will keep me motivated to stick on track with them!

xoxo,
Courtney
