well here it goes....
and yes it has a story behind it :)
Joey and I were 'boyfriend/girlfriend' through middle school and the first part of high school. then i broke up with him for the millionth time and we went our seperate ways! we reconnected about...6 years later (wow..jeez) and fell in love. the thing was- we hadnt seen eachother since that last break up in highschool! we (or..really ME!) found eachother on FB and started catching up. FBing led to emailing, emailing led to IMing, IMing led to phone convos, and that lead to webcam. OF course we thought there was just no way we could be together- he was in germany, still had another tour in iraq- and we hadnt seen eachother (at least in person) since 9th grade! after a couple months it was obvious- we were a couple. a long distance one, but a couple no less. so we embraced it not caring if people thought we were NUTS! This picture- is the FIRST moment we saw eachother after 6 years. We'd been officially together for 3 months, talking for longer- and Christina dropped me off at his house as soon as he flew in from Germany. I cannot tell you how nervous I was this night! I was so excited, but so scared he'd see me and RUN! I knocked on his door, he flung it open-grabbed me and then? well see for yourself ;) best kiss of my LIFE. and Im so grateful Christina was there lol, she managed to whip out a camera and catch the whole thing :) That night was the night I met his sisters for the first time- who are now my bestfriends, and also the night he gave me a promise ring! which little did we know then- that only a year and 2 months later we'd be married :)
The rest is history :) THATS why this picture makes me smile :)

well last night was a blast but just insane. Vicky came over and we watched movies, had dinner, and THEN decided we wanted to make the Neiman Marcus cookies. WELL we needed to go get all the stuff for it. long story short- i locked us out of the house. we always joke about needing a reality show and THIS is why lol. We called Matt and he came down and tried to help us for about 30 minutes, no luck. My dad said to call a locksmith but thats expensive! then right when I called Brittany and Zach to rescue us- my neighbor across the street (who Ive never met) walked over and did it! no problem! he had a Bud Lite in his hand so I told him I owed him! (later when we finally did go to Kroger, I brought him back a 6 pack and took it to him!)-- come to find out he's an army man (infantry too!) as well! so we chatted for a bit and it was nice to meet him. we've only met two people on our street so far so Im glad even though it took me being locked out- we got to meet!
so vicky and i finally baked our cookies even though it was after 10pm! THAT was an experience as well! but they turned out great- I hope if you tried the recipe you liked it!
and just a few minutes ago, someone from the neighborhood came to welcome us on behalf of HOA. Melissa- and she was SO sweet! brought me flowers, a candle, and brownies!
Im really hoping we start meeting more neighbors, and find some other couples to hang out with! :)
Now I'm just doing some work from home, baking cookies, and getting ready for Neen to come over for girls night- my friends rock, her and vicky have been so great about coming over and keeping me company while joeys gone!
one week down, one more to go- and i am SO ready for him to be home!
*cheers!*
