ENGAGED!!

I officially have to add December 17 to my list of favorite dates! After 4 and a half years I can finally call Travis my fiance!!!!

This past weekend Travis & I went home to Ashland for a couple of days.  On Saturday Travis and I were about to go to Travis' family Christmas party, when he said he wanted to look at the Christmas lights around the park.  He knew I wanted to do this while we were there (because we do it every year) so I didn't think anything about it.  We also, took our puppy Lola.  As we got to the corner of the park we stopped and looked at a particular light display.  Travis kept saying, "This is new"...I said, "I know, this is where my favorite one used to be, but this one is really pretty too."  I got my phone out and decided to take a picture of it (coincidentally the only lights i decided to take a picture of ;) Travis was walking me out closer to the lights, and then suddenly he turned to me, got down on his knee, said some sweet, precious words, then asked me to marry him.  I was so surprised!! At that point I just remember saying yes, yes, and repeating I love you!! We were both so happy!!!  It was perfect!!! Travis mom was hidden to take pictures of the moment!

In the moment <3


Sooo happy!!!! & So in love.

Holiday Time

The semester is over and it is finally winter break! Student Teaching begins next semester! I am so excited for 4th grade at Liberty Elementary!


                             I turned 22 a few weeks ago.  A few pics from my birthday...


 Travis surprised me with a BEAUTIFUL necklace :)))

The day after Thanksgiving we put up our Christmas tree & decorated the house! Although this is our FIFTH (hard to believe) Christmas together, this was our first tree :)) My favorite ornament is from 2007..."Our 1st Christmas"


We recently added a new addition to our family! Travis wanted one thing for Christmas and one thing only...a puppy! So, of course I wanted to fulfill this wish. We spent hours and hours straight looking for a puppy and we finally chose to rescue a puppy from the Mercer Humane Society. We are already SO in love with her!

Meet our sweet girl, Lola :)

They said her mom was boxer/beagle mix but she looks JUST like a greater swiss mountain dog, so we're thinking her dad had to be one!

Daddy loves her!



Our family :)

We are heading to Ashland this evening for the Compston Christmas party tomorrow. I'm happy we get to visit our families for a little bit, and introduce everyone to Lola.

Merry Christmas!!!
