We Wiped The Floor W/ Peoria!

Dan and I went to a Chicago Wolves game yesterday w/ his little brother Jeff and his girly friend Taylor, we had a great time! andd we were ON THE ICE! yah baby! So awesome! I love Hockey!

Randomness :)

I had my time to be miserable and negative and that sucked so here are positive things in my life~

1. Dan is amazing and I have a time frame 12-25-07 ~ 03-31-08 and that my friends is VERY exciting!
2. I'm enjoying the quiet minus Broo Broo snoring however it's almost surreal...
3. I am warm and toasty inside and cozy under my Nemo blanket/shield.
4. I had a wonderful early Christmas with my family and Dan and my brother (Dan) and his girl friend (we went to see Phantom of the Opera and it was AMAZING!!!!)
5. I have a new book I can read!
6. I GOT an A in my class!!!! :)
7. I have sugar free cherry Jell-O calling my name!

8. I may have a promotion opportunity this up coming year!

9. I have a new ring tone on my cell phone for Dan! (What a man what a man what a mighty fine mannnnn!)
I think this works for now any negative things I have here are some pics some from early Christmas :)

My Honeyyyyyy Bunches O' Oats! :)
Me and Dan my Bro

Plans Have Changed ♥

So Friends!
All of Thursday and Friday were spent RING shopping for the entire day it was so much fun!! I honestly have not had that much hope and excitement in a long time!!! Dan is amazing! Oh and there is a new ring because when I actually put the other ring on that I posted... it looked like my finger was eating the ring... I have large hands and it was just not as amazing in person however! this one was!!! and this is the one we're going with! EEEE I can't wait!!!

Wife Material

Hey Ladies!!!

Right now I am being the very essence of wife material... I'm sitting in my apron waiting for my next batch of Ghirardelli dark chocolate chip cookies to finish baking in the oven , now you tell me that's not wife material! :) I love cooking and baking and Dan seems to enjoy it too! we had his dad and wife over on Sunday and I made lasagna! homemade with beef, Italian sausage, 5 cheeses and hang on the oven just beeped! Okay I'm back! Anyway Dan and his dad seemed to enjoy it and I made dessert which was not pumpkin pie (that's this weekend) but I made a nice light jello salad to compliment the heavy meal :)
Today is wonderful, I'm just enjoying some me time which includes sipping hot coffee baking and listening to Christmas music (as much as Dan is opposed to Christmas music in November) I feel I am entitled to at least 2 months of Christmas music! I mean seriously if Target can display all the glittering lights and tinsel certainly I can have my Christmas music! I did pick up the new Josh Groban Christmas CD which is awesome! :)
On another note Dan and I went to a jeweler to have a quote drawn up my ring (YAY!) it was supposed to ready today as promised by the woman with blue hair behind the counter (it really was blue) but such is not the case either way I am ecstatic that he's REALLY pursuing my ring! :) YAY!!!!! I just need to be patient! which sometimes is easier said than done... much easier said. On the upside I will be married sooner than later (I hope) so I should keep
practicing my baking and cooking skills which is what I am doing! :) I also made chicken and dumplings last Thursday (Dan wasn't a fan of the carrots... note to self) I've also made 4 pumpkin pies already and 2 more on the way for Sunday but instead of evaporated milk I use sugar free french vanilla ice cream :) it's really good! Anyway back to baking ladies! here is my ring! the real deal :) just looking at it makes me all giddy with happy thoughts!

Innocence Unveiled ♥

This is called my innocence picture, my bible study for healing encouraged me to take a picture and think of nothing but my favorite innocent memory as a child and as an adult.
My favorite memory as a child would be sitting on my daddy's lap watching The Andy Griffith Show and sharing a root beer float. My favorite memory as an adult would be the first time Dan said "I love you" both are priceless moments and here is my picture of innocence. :) There you have it friends Innocence Unveiled

A Little Grrr With A Whole Lotta Happy! ♥

So allow me to explain, I hate the sound of my name currently because the name Heidi has every opportunity to sound winy Heiiiiiddiiiiiiiiiiiiii see what I mean? This is what I have experienced all day today and most of last week. It was by far the most frustrating moment when a grown man stuck out his lower lip ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!??? do you have a shitty diaper? what in the world are you poochy lipping for?!!? the only person who has any pull by whipping out the poochie lip is Dan, he's so cute when he does that! but not Lester the 48 year old man who can't walk to the cafeteria by himself! I was trying so hard to be nice and I accomplished that but freakin crap!!!!!!!!! GROW UP!!!!! Now I understand there are new people (18 to be precise) and I want to just scream to the top of my lungs and hide under my desk with a double shot light coffee from Starbucks but such is not the case. Anyway I'm done complaining now. :)

on the upside I have really struggled with being patient and waiting for my ring,but God has really given me peace with this and I could not be more thankful... I know this is stupid but I love Dan more than anybody in the whole world, he is my best friend my partner in crime. I feel safe and truly loved when I am with him. I laugh until I cry, when he kisses me my whole world seems to light up like the skies on the 4th of July, he can hug me and make my walls of fear and confusion crumble to the depths of the earth, he motivates me to become a better person. I feel treasured , with him I can completely be myself, his shoulder is the best to cry on and his arms are the best to fall into after a long day, he holds me up when I feel like I can't keep going and he encourages me to be the best person I can be, he puts so much into understanding me and what I am going through and how I am feeling, I can talk to him and have a good conversation.... sometimes farting works its way in there but hey more reason to laugh

I can't wait to marry him! I know I'm a dork but I am so excited to wake up next to him every day and live life full of love together :) YAY I'm all excited I know it's a while away but so worth the wait :) AND we've been looking at rings, well I have but he's not being crabby about it he's actually accepting the pictures and actually asking for specifics :) Very exciting! I know I'm pathetic.... but if it helps me to be patient and excited then I don't care! :) so that's that I also bought a picture frame for when he actually does propose :) actually I have a whole bunch of trinkets for when he proposes....

On another topic, Il Divo is amazing and if you have not heard them tell me and I will burn you a CD! they are phenomenal I also am becoming quite fond of Josh Groban both of which I would loveeeeee to see in concert but that will probably never happen anyway I just wanted to blog before I went to bed :) oh! School is going awesome I have a 98% average in my class YAY! I'm so happy about that :) I love school I feel like I am actually accomplishing something here! okay bed time night friends I love you all!!!!

heres a cute pic of Dan and I we took it Sunday when we did our Bible Study together at Starbucks!

Definate Awwwwe Moment ♥

Okay Friends,

So first of all let me say Dan is amazing!!! For my Birthday, he sent me the most beautiful flower arrangement I've ever seen! AND he had it delivered to me at work!!!! I had some very jealous co-workers! They all said my HUSBAND is awesome, well as of right now he is not my husband BUT he is a phenomenal boyfriend and my very best friend! But I got all giddy and excited. I know it's not for a while but he's going to propose to me sometime next year!!!! how exciting is that!?!?! I can only imagine what he will have planned for that day!!! :) I found myself tearing up as I read my little card that came in the flowers and to say the very least, I was beaming! I could not stop smiling for the life of me not that I want to stop smiling!

Not only did he send me beautiful flowers but he also encouraged me so much on Saturday and Sunday I was so nervous and he stood in the back by the entrance and smiled at me and cheered me on the whole time I sang!!!! He told me he was proud of me :) He's so amazing I just can't stop saying that! Be prepared when he does propose it's gonna be 22 page blog I'm sure! :)
He's so sweet!!!!
