We're Engaged!

Okay, so this isn't a big shock to people who know us well, but it's true!!! Charlie proposed tonight! Here's the details....We were at Chris and Krystal's house. Chris and Charlie had plans to play the guitar. I had a terrible day and was not happy, on the verge of tears. Then...Charlie said he wanted to play a new song for me that he had been working on, a church song. My first thought was, "will I ever get a song?" (selfish, I know). So Charlie started playing this beautiful song about me and him! If you click on the song on the iPod to the right you can hear it! Then he got down on one knee and proposed. I don't know what he said though! Of course I said yes!!! It all happened so fast! Luckily, Chris and Krystal video taped the whole thing!!! Hopefully I can post that soon!

We are so happy and look forward to be married to one another. God truly has blessed us!

Boston Market

I was reading through old emails between Charlie and me tonight. I found this little gem that I have been meaning to post!!! One of Charlie's favorite things about me is that I get really sleepy when I am driving. (Ha!) This leaves him to be creative and keep me entertained on the cell phone in between Durham and Fayetteville. Charlie does a great job narrating movies or just being silly! And then there was Boston Market....

One night while driving back to Fayetteville, Charlie and I were talking about how Fayetteville sucks! So, Charlie typed into Google "Fayetteville sucks". He wound up on someone's blog about Boston Market.

So Charlie started reading this blog to me. The best part about it was all the hilarious comments people were making. Charlie decided to comment as well:

My girl is going to try BM.

Yo, my girl is goin back to Fayettnam and I wuz reading her this joint. We have never tried the BM. I toll her she needed to try it, since the one in Fayettnam is spossed to be fingar lickin good. I toll hur that she should tell dem dudes behind the counter that Daryle sent her there. My lady likes chicken and gravy. She also likes a good sweet tater. Yo, them black plates was gangsta. I think they should bring those back. Thanks for this page Meek. I like to go to McDonald yo, because it's cheap and they Monopoly now. My girl keeps telling me that stuff will kill me, but I just need to get a couple more pieces and then I can get some more benjamins. I don't think that have a BM in D-Town, else I would go.
Char-Dogg.

We made it our mission to find a Boston Market in Durham. One Friday night we probably had one of the best dinners ever! I'm not kidding, it was SO good! We visited the one in Fayetteville and were disappointed! So, if you haven't tried Boston Market, we recommend the one in Durham!

SNOW DAY!

It snowed today!!! I convinced Charlie to come back to Fayetteville with me last night since he can work from home on Tuesdays. I had a snow day from work, but poor Charlie had to work all day on the laptop. We didn't get out much in the snow, but it was nice to be warm inside! I baked Charlie's favorite cookies...Oatmeal Raisin. The best part was being together all day! Charlie is snowed in here and isn't headed back to Durham until tomorrow after work. I have a work day. The extra couple days together is so nice!

Weekend at home

We had a very exciting weekend in Leland. I say Leland because we only crossed the bridge to go to church! On Saturday, we all went shooting. This is hilarious because Paul has been trying to get me to shoot a gun my whole life! Well, I finally gave in! Everyone had a great time! I learned to shoot a handgun, a shotgun, and a rifle. Of course the men enjoyed it!

We are so lucky to have a talented photographer follow us around where ever we go!

Christmas, Birthday, New Years...

Okay, so not really much to post! Charlie and I had a very busy Holiday season. We spent a weekend in Charlotte, a weekend in Wilmington, and rested for a few days in Fayetteville. We also scattered in some visits to his family and friends along the way too! We had a great Christmas together and were very thankful for the time together. I had two weeks off and Charlie only had to go into the office one day out of the whole 2 weeks!

I had a fabulous birthday...25 (crazy)!!! We went to Maggiano's for dinner with Chris, Krystal and the kids. It was delicious and a lot of fun! If you haven't eaten there I highly recommend it!

Charlie was sick on New Year's Eve. We ended up spending the night resting. We watched "When Harry Met Sally." I watched that last year with my friend Toni on New Year's Eve too! Then we watched something about torture machines and death penalties on the Discovery Channel. I know that sounds depressing, but it actually was interesting (and a little disturbing). Charlie was asleep by 11. SO, we did not ring in the New Year together :( Luckily, he felt better on Thursday.

.

It is weird to be apart this week. When you see each other everyday, you don't know what to do with yourself! And poor Charlie actually has to do his own laundry this week! We are headed to Wilmington again this weekend for some time with my family. I will try to post something a little more intriguing next time!

Posing in our Christmas PJ's!
