I hope this month FLYS bye, I wont be mad at all ;)

I LOVE YOU BABE!

XOXOXOXO

Catching UP!

Time has and is flying by!!!

Catch up time on whats been going on past few months.

A.) WEDDING PLANNING- The joys of wedding planning and all that goes with it. Lucky for me I have my mom to help me with every little step of it and thats her job so it makes it very very nice!

Planning showers, receptions, wedding, honeymoons and soo much more :)

B.) HOUSE HUNTING- Logan and I have spent countless hours searching for the perfect house! I must say it is HARD trying to find a house, theres soo many out their but I think we have a little bit more picky taste to find just the right house. We have placed a numerous amount of offers on houses and have been lucky enough to have not ONE...but, TWO offers accepted. Once we went back through the houses and really looked at everything we decided against both of the houses that had accepted our offers. Which, in the end ended up being a very smart choice, the first one I think we were just excited and ansy to get a house and were placing offers on any houses we just "liked" not "loved". From the first house to the second house that accepted our offer their was such a HUGE difference in value of the home and the looks of both the inside and outside. So, I am more than happy that we declined both of the homes because they just got a little better each time. we are so thankful we have both of our parents to help us out in this process and give us their 2 sense on what they think about each house we like. So, the search is still continuing and hopefully we will find a home that we fall in love with sooner than later! :)Were hoping for the saying... "3rd times a charm!!!"

C.) MOVED- I moved home last weekend. I decided that moving home to save as much money for a house down payment and other things would be a very smart move. So, I am back living with my parents. Man, do I feel like I am back in highschool.. I haven't lived at home since right after I graduated in 06'. Crazy!!!

D.) WORKING OUT- I am getting back into my work out scheme and trying to reach my goal and shred a few pounds before the wedding!! I ran/fast walked my first 5 miles since over a month of no running with my mom this week. I felt great after!! I started off telling her I would only be able to go around once, because a month or so ago when I was running I was only doing a mile to mile and half...and suprisingly enough I did her whole 5 miles she does daily with her :) I havent done 5 miles in a year or two years straight... so, I was very very amazed and man am I sore today!!!!!

E.) ENGAGMENT PICTURES- We have been taking a couple shoots of Eng. pictures. We are lucky to have a good friend of ours do all of our ENG. pics for FREE for us :) So, Lucky for us we have had some great pictures already, Free of charge, Can tell him what we like and dont like, can do as many different shoots, places, clothings changes as we want! We have had a lot of fun with it. We are doing out last set of them this week so we can get the pictures sent off for our wedding video!! So, Eng pics soon to come :)

Thats about all thats new with us lately! Life will continue to be pretty dang busy for the both of us for the next few months, but busy in a good way!!

Ok so now for the fun stuff... 7 facts about me. (In no particular order)

1. I AM A CLEAN FREAK! I honestly have no idea how I became such a clean freak. I seriously think im a crazy women sometimes when im cleaning because every little thing out of place or dirty BUGS THE CRAP out of me!! Many people laugh about this, one being Logan. I didn't use to be like this. I remember when I was younger and even while in highschool I was a PIG. My mom was always yelling at me to clean my room or make my bed or dust the house and do my chores, I dreaded it, seriously gave her attitude and dreaded it... she would always say "YOUR ROOM LOOKS LIKE A PIGSTYE." haha I think I have my mom to seriously thank for my clean habit. I am a cleaning freak but I wouldn't want it any other way. :)

2. I have been skydiving and loved it. I somewhat can be scared if heights at times... But, I went with a big group of friends and I am so happy I went. I am STILL working on getting Logan to go.. He cant justify the fact of jumping out of a completely good plane.. ha! I still am too scared to go bunji-jumping and he has done that and liked it.. hmmmm....

3. I dated Logan for 3 years.... some of you who know me know I wanted to be married when I was really young..And some will say 3 years is a LONG time to date someone... Well 3 years later I can honestly say I wouldnt have it any other way! I am so happy and thankful that Logan and I dated for 3 years before getting engaged. I truly know we are meant to be together and we know each other like the back of our hand. He is my best friend forever!!

4. I LIKE to cook a lot... Do I always cook NO. But, I do like to cook.

I hope I will start to cook more when im married.

5. I love Photography. I have always liked to take pictures. Im always the picture taker in the group and I love it. I wish I would have taken more photography classes than I did in high school and continued on with it. I would like to get a nice camera sometime in the near SOON future!

6. CANDY CANDY CANDY! I love sweets, I try not to eat sweets that much. BUT, if its candy than theres no hope. I LOVE CANDY!!!

7. I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY DISLIKE THE FOLLOWING:

Cats, Mustard, Mushrooms= NOT A FAN! (Luckily Logan dislikes all the same)

EnGaGeD!

Most everyone knows from Facebook or text msg...

But, for those of you who don't know IM ENGAGED and couldn't be happier !! :)

I got engaged New Years Eve exactly at 11:59 P.M..

We went to Mill Ave (which was packed and crazy as could be). The Doobie Brothers were playing at the 11:00-Midnight slot, it was my first time even hearing of the Doobie Brothers but they were fun to watch. At about 2 mins till midnight our good friend Duedter asked me for my camera...Which as many of you probably know I always have BIG purses and it sometimes takes me awhile to find what im looking for... So, I spent almost the last 2 mins before the countdown searching for my camera to take pictures (not thinking anything of it) Logan, started getting nervous that me searching for my camera was going to ruin it.. He than started wispering sweet nothings into my ear and telling me how much he loved me...I than thought in my head he was either just saying it all for the New Year and New Years kiss that comes along with it...OR he was going to propose, I wasnt quiet sure yet.

He than went for something in his coat pocket and I knew right than he was going to propose to me, and that he did :)I of course said YES!!! (So, we do not have any pictures of him getting down on one knee and my reactions and so forth because I found my camera after he proposed haha.)

Logan picked out the ring all on his own and I couldn't be happier with it, its BEAUTIFUL and so me!!!! He always said I wouldn't know when he was going to propose or what the ring was going to look like before he did it..and that I didn't. We have only looked at rings once in the entire 3 years of dating and it wasn't when we were SERIOUSLY dating and talking marriage. So, he did an awesome job and really searched for the perfect ring. When we took the ring in to get it sized the lady that helped him out along the way was telling me how nervous and picky he was on all the rings and how he wanted the perfect one :) I got myself an amazing guy and such a sweetheart. Logan is friends with everyone he meets and has such a fun personality. We have so much fun together and he is my best friend forever! He is constanly looking out for me and taking care of me. I cant wait to spend my life with him and raise a cute lil family of surfers kids :)....someday...someday sooner than he probably wants! haha

The date we have shown is.... COMING TOMORROW!!!

Merek Lee

MEREK LEE

7lbs 10oz
Couldn't be more beautiful- I will say Jenna and Kevin make some beautiful baby boys.
Both Braxton and now Merek have come out sooo beautiful and as you can see Braxton is the cutest 2 yr old I know!!!

I also got to babysit Braxton for the 2nd half of the day and night and we had a blast!
We played in the leaves, which he cracked up every time we threw them in the air, ride his electric bike, go to the park and play on every single thing they had there. (He also LOVED that I went down the slide right after him, absolutely loved it. That was something Momma couldn't do with a baby in her stomach with him. I love my Braxton and already love my new lil Merek! Cant wait to love on him some more this week. Braxton wasn't too sure what was going on at the hosp today and he was a little out of place, but he will soon be use to a lil baby brother and will be such a awesome/loving big brother!!!
CONGRATS LEE'S! I am soo happy to have lil Merek finally here! He truly is adorable.
Love you guys!

Rocky Point 09'- part 2

gRocky Point

After the orphanage we got to stay in a condo in Rocky Point for 3 days. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable vacation. I unfortunately was sick the entire time we were in Mexico. I got sick Christmas Day and it just wasn't getting any better for me. So, Minus my horrible cold and cough I still had a good time in Rocky Point. We played lots of board games...Wii... Shopping by the fish markets... Good food...Suns vs. Lakers WIN-woo wooo... and enjoyed the cold but nice weather.

It was very very dead again this year in Rocky Point. There was no one around and the streets were bare at night. Basically the grungy looking dogs got the whole place to themselves once it hit night time.
Thanks again so much, Antelmans!
