E-N-G-A-G-E-D!

that's right ladies and gents....or the two followers i have....brett and i are engaged!  it was wonderful and perfect and we are so excited.  i'm pretty surprised to see how interested he is in plans...not interested in the color scheme, mind you....but just wondering what i'm thinking.  so here's my plan: new orleans-y, brickwalls/courtyard, candles everywhere, casual, laid back wedding/ceremony  at the same venue type of night.  right now, i'm thinking latrobe's on royal, rosy's jazz hall, and board of trade of new orleans.  i was NOT aware of how much venues cost.....yawwwza!  anyways, i'm really feeling like i need to fly home soon and book a place asap.  that way everything else can just fall into place.  if anyone has ANY suggestions, feel free to speak up.
so that's what's going on now....
other than that, brett and i are making the move to augusta, ga april 1st for his army career course.  i'm excited but so sad to leave my job.  i love it and the girls that work there so much.  definitely ready to know where we're going to be after this...i'm mean, who doesn't know where they're going to live in 6 months!  yeesh! oh well, its an army life for me :)

hurly is doing well....and by well i mean acting out like a 15year old girl.  sometimes he is so good and does exactly what we say, and 2 hours later he ignores us and runs away and forgets everything we've taught him.  hopefully once we have a yard for him to run around in, he'll calm down.  ahhh, wishful thinking.

2010

HELLOOOOO! ( to those seinfeld watchers)
wow, it's been awhile...i'm very sorry for abandoning the.....2 followers.  i'm sure life was hard to deal with during my absence.
am i the only one who is baffled it is 2010....and FEBRUARY!!  its going to be summer by the time we blink.  i sound like my grandma when i say that but seriously.  we just had a huge snow storm and the novelty of playing in the snow wore off about 1/2 into day 2.  hurley loves snow....eating it, rolling in it, digging in it, etc.  brett and i along with a couple neighbors used the tops to long tupperware containers to sled down the hills at our apartment...very fun.  again, it wore off after about 1 hour.  i guess i should get used to it b/c its supposed to snow again this weekend.  yay.

in other news, we're trying to prep for our move in april to augusta.  i'm started to gather boxes from the winery....and oh did i mention, brett wants us to move ourselves.  i thought he was joking but no.  it sort of makes sense but i'm hoping having friends will come in handy!  pizza and beer for everyone who helps!!!  this way our stuff arrives with us when we want it.  if the army moves us, we could be sitting on the floor playing battle for a couple weeks.  yikes.  stay tuned for what's sure to be an adventure.

speaking of adventure, brett and i went skiing over xmas.  we decided after a 10hr drive to and from louisiana, we wanted to drive another 10 hrs to snowshoe, west virginia.  it was so fun and i missed skiing so i'm glad we went....but 40 hours in the car in a little over a week is not the best idea.  we both made it out alive though!  i guess we are made for each other :) and i'm not the easiest person to be with on a road trip.  i like to sing and dance to stay alert while driving....this trip lady gaga was on the radio a lot!  i loved it.  brett was less than enthused.  i also like to stock up on gas food yummies like gummy bears and coffees and icees (i.e. like the many trips back and forth from houston to BR/NOLA with jaime and co.) this also leads to more stops than a man would like but to each his own!!!

on an ending note.....is anyone watching project runway???  can i just say Ping is a complete weird-beard crazy pants!  ok i'm done.
