it's alright.

alright alright alright
boys will be boys.

so i was being a little tongue-in-cheek 

{actually i think it was more like BITE ME}

'bout  rhett's lack of memory

of our first little moments together,

but you girls are right...

Men = bad memories. 

Wait.  

bahawhahaha

correction!

Men have bad memories. 

So he doesn't remember our pre-dating date days.

...he remembered to remove the AC unit from the main floor last night so I didn’t have to look at it and get depressed that last weekend the sun was beating down at 89 degrees and now it’s not.

he remembers to get up and make coffee every day. Bless him.  

he remembered Mother’s Day and gave me the best day ever...  

me.  on mother's day.  i smiled all.day.long.

....he remembers that I get easily overwhelmed and sometimes I just need him to be there.  And he is. 

he remembers and gives me cards and tells me and shows me that he knows we are lucky to have found each other and that he’ll always remember...

"i've never loved anyone the way i love you"

...he remembers to kiss me goodbye.

he remembers to tell me he loves me every single day....

he remembers the important things.  

Rhett and I.
At the Black Eyed Peas/U2 show
In Vancouver, B.C.
October 29, 2009
18 days after we met.

all the important things.

the things that matter.  

and that's what matters.

i love you babe.  ;) 

-m-

bite me. i am so annoyed right now.

I wore this on my first date with Rhett.  well, not the pink plaid pajama bottoms, I wore that shirt. I know.  I'm pretty sure I picked it up in the height of my Team Vampire stage. Tonight I went upstairs, opened up my drawer, saw it, and got all sappy and nostalgic. I put it on with my pajama bottoms and went prancing down the stairs and skipped up to Rhett and said "baaaabe... do you remember?? I wore this shirt on our first date!"  He kinda glanced at me and said "oh, ya.  ya, I remember that babe."

"What else do you remember about our first date babe??"

I was so freaking giddy.  oooooh, a moment was coming!  what were the very first things he was thinking, what does he remember about our first weird awkward "non-dating" date moments? eeeeek, what would he say???  Honest to god, I almost told him to hold his thoughts so I could grab a pen and jot it all down.

and then He said: "well, I remember that shirt".

"well, ya babe.  I just said that."

He threw me another glance.
so I threw him a bone.

"well babe", I said, "I remember we met at that restaurant that I don't like and I didn't eat a thing"...

and..

"I remember that the guys in my office told me to wear a lacy pretty top cause I had met a guy that I actually said I liked, so I did, and then after we left the restaurant, I changed my shirt and I asked you if you thought it was weird that I changed my shirt (to the Bite Me shirt.  It was just in my handbag.  Don't ask, I don't know) and you stared at me and said "no, I don't think it's weird you changed your shirt, but I think it's weird that your shirt is on backwards."

AND.. 

"I remember that you took me to your brother's spot and then we went upstairs and I saw some guy I vaguely recognized but couldn't place so I cut a hard left and disappeared behind the other side of the bar and hid, frantically trying to plan an escape, and you found me and said, "hey, my buddy is here, you know the one that was with me last weekend."

I think my hands were on my hips by this point.

"What do YOU remember babe?"

"Um, well, I remember all that."

THAT'S IT.
I asked him 5 times.
He remembers what I remember.
That's All.
I am sooo annoyed right now!
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN.
That is what I want to know now.
I mean.  Seriously.
His first date with the girl that changed her shirt mid-date to a vampire toothed winking Bite Me shirt and he doesn't remember anything??

Bite me.  :P

WIW ~ The Day He Proposed

what I wore ~ the day he proposed.



[ps.  that Beautiful Preggo girlie to my left is the One and Only Fabulous Rindy Mae.  She's my Real Life blog friend, and she is Hilarious and her food is to DIE FOR.  She made a Crackly Pear Cake (find it in her post today right here) for the xmas party and it was pure mouth Heaven.  She's Amazing! And her diy projects.. don't get me started.]

me.  at my 3rd Kiknbaque Xmas party

Last Saturday was the "Kiknbaque" Christmas party thrown every year by Rhett's closest friends.  We eat food, play games, and have a gift exchange.  Every year Rhett's BF Sherwin, "Alex T", hosts a Boys vs. Girls Jeopardy game.  The categories include Math, Geography, Name the Song & Artist, Current Events, Physical Challenge, and a new category this year: "WTH".  Sherwin picked up a Suzanne Somers Thigh Master some where along the way, and this year's Physical Challenge was reps of thigh crunches. It was completely unflattering, but completely hilarious.  And, I'm just going to go ahead and say it, and you will see for yourself at the end of this post, I killed the thigh master challenge. ;)

jeopardy went to a whole new level this year. 

The last round of Jeopardy this year was the "WTH" column.  "Alex T" was in charge and dictated who sat in the chair and was blindfolded by their significant other and had to taste, touch, or smell something and guess what it was to score the points.

I was the very last to sit in the chair, and the score was Boys: 7,500, Girls 7,400.  I was so friggin worried that I was going to blow the game for the girls.  You have no idea.  I whispered to Rhett when he was blindfolding me "omg babe, what if I blow it".  He said "don't worry about it babe".  Ya.  Easy for him to say.

I was sitting there blindfolded, waiting for some foreign tasting food to be put in my mouth, and fretting the entire time that I won't guess what it was, and that I would blow the game for the girls, and it will be my fault for the entirety of 2012 that the boys won and the girls lost, and I'll admit, I was very caught up in my dark, blindfolded world where I was in between worrying and praying I'd get this right, when some piano music came on [Edward at Sunrise ~ Twilight. Click Here to listen, it is absolutely Beautiful] and I hear someone joke about "what's this music- someone bring out a ring" ....

.... and all of the sudden I hear Rhett's voice start rolling sentence by sentence and my frantic worrying thoughts about losing the game for the girls crash to a stop as I start frantically trying to figure out if this is part of a joke, or if Rhett is really saying what he is saying, and then I hear him say "will you Marry Me", and I said "can I take my blindfold off, I need to take the blindfold off... "  and then I saw him, and saw the ring, and I about died and hung on to him for dear life and finally my mouth caught up with my heart and I answered, "Yes. Yes. Yes!"  

what?!? 

take this off, get this off!

babeeeey !?!?!!!

sweet happiness.

told ya.  ;)

And that is What I Wore ~ The Day He Proposed.

My Wild Running Mate



In the Beginning

"Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed.
Maybe they need to run free
until they find someone just as wild to run with."

Carrie Bradshaw

I was one of those.  

And then I met my wild running partner.

And the crazy funny thing is-

 it completely tamed me. 

And Now. 

We are going to get Married!!!!!!

Rhett proposed this weekend and I am on cloud nine.  Or Ten or Eleven.  Or whatever, wherever the highest cloud out there is-  that's where you'll find me.

the king of my world
