I'm Back!!

So Sorry I have not written in something like 3 months!! I just got really busy with life! Not too busy for this though!! This is something that I really like the idea of having to just let people know what is going on in my life!

Well - what has happened since March? I have a new niece, born March 1, 2008. Little Emily Elizabeth - She is so adorable! Her and Luke are a big part of my life!! They are below...

What Else - Oh yeah - I GOT ENGAGED!!! Mat asked me to be his wife on Saturday, May 31 at the top of the tower in Peoria Heights! We are both really excited and appreciate all the great things everyone is telling us! We know there are some people out there who think it's too early, but guess what - It's not your life... am I trying to rain on your parade when you are excited about something? I didn't think so...

The HAPPY COUPLE!! AND THE RING!!!

I am going to Michigan tomorrow with Mat's family to meet his extended family (aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.) and I am really excited!! My family absolutely loves Mat and can't picture me with anyone else! It is awesome to have such a supportive family, both on my side, and his. His dad really likes me too... I THINK!! Ha-ha and that is just so nice when both families get along! We are planning on something to have at my house so his dad and siblings can come and meet my parents and everyone can get to know each other better!! I am excited and think that will be fun!

I also went to Mexico in May!!! That was really fun and it was nice to catch up with my brother on things. Courtney and Mike's friend, Joe, went with us. That was really, really fun. We went up to the top of the ruins again, went SCUBA diving in Cozumel, and ate at Coconuts - TWICE! Very good time!

Oh - and the Kenny Chesney concert - that Jeff talks about all the time - I was supposed to go, but I cant afford it anymore with my new car!!!
Oh yeah - I got a new car too since March!! It's an SUV and it’s awesome! That’s all for now!
