Soon to be Hubby...

(by far not the best pic of me but he looks really cute and we had a blast at Brazos Bend that day!!)

So in rereading my whole 3 blogs.(Yes I know I suck at this I'm really trying to get better. This makes 2 blogs this month!!) I realized that I really have not discuss how Calvin and I met and all the juicy details that are leading up to our wedding.

So here is the beginning of how we met...

This story actually starts a bit before we started talking and dating. I have worked with a girl named Brittany for 3 years now and have been going to all of her family functions since the beginning of our friendship. (a little background information) Well in February of 2009 Brittany's uncle Travis was turning 50 so they were throwing a huge suprise party for him. Of course I was invited but I was going to be Donna's date. (Donna is Calvin's Aunt and one of my good friends. She also worked with me at Brannen and we got to be very close) I had met Calvin before but he had a girlfriend the whole time I had been coming around this family. We were at the party and Brittany had to leave because she went into laber with Lucas. So I of course kept Cody's beer because I was drinking it. :) At this time I had no idea that Calvin and Kelsey (his ex) were having problems. My soon to be mother in law decided that Calvin needed to dance with me. So we danced the whole night. I of course thought that Calvin was my age I had no idea he was younger. I found this out when I tried to get him to take all the beer back to Cody and he informed me that he could not do that. (yes I am marrying a youngen!!)

Calvin later informed me that this night he started having a crush on me.

I never heard or saw him again until June. Emily, Lori and I had decided to have a girls night out and went to the armadillo.

(I have to say that we looked good that night and had lots of fun!!!)

I danced all night with him and was way drunk...:) After that night we started talking on myspace. It wasn't soon after that, that he started a shutdown. He was working nights and had to stay up all night one night to get ready for the next one. So we talked all night and then on that Friday he met me and a huge group of girl going to see The propsal. He sat through the whole movie like a champ. From then on we have be inseperable. It was by far the best summer I have ever had. At that point I was hooked and had told me mom I was done...this was it!!!

We went out for Calvin's Birthday.

To be continued....

It still hits me....

This is a warning not a usual post....

So I have been reading people’s blogs and sometimes they are not funny or cute just something they need to get out.

6 years ago on April 28 I lost two of the world's greatest men. My cousin's Johney and Kevin were killed in a car wreck just a few miles away from their parent’s house in Oklahoma. I was in college at the time and it was actually dead day (how ironic). I remember Lori (my roommate and best friend) asking me over and over what was wrong while I was on the phone crying as my mom told me the news. I don't remember driving home; I don't remember anything until the funeral. I say all this because sometimes I fear that I will forget what they sound like and everything else that was them. I don't have older brothers and these two stepped up and took on that role. There are times even know that I wish I could pick up the phone and hear their voices and have them tell me they love me and that it’s all going to be all right.

I have decided that God does things for you when you need it most. It has hit me that in less than 2 months I will be getting married and they will not be a part of this very special day. They won’t get to tell me how beautiful I look and dance with me at the reception. As I sit in my house writing this and crying I can't help but smile, because I had one of those dreams last night (or actually this morning), the ones that feel so real and you wake up and wonder if it really happened. In my dream Kevin was there and he hugged me like he always did, kissed my cheek and told me it was all going to be okay and that he loved me so much. (Making the dream a little shorter for you guys to read). I woke up and could still feel the hug, remember his voice and his face!!! (In all his goofiness :))

I know that this is not a normal post and that some might think I am crazy but writing it down is helping to calm me down, and if you think I am crazy that is just fine. It’s also a good possibility that it doesn't make much since. I really wish I could find the word that would describe how I feel at this moment...

(I will try and post again later something a little more happy but until...)
