So this is Life.

So yeah this is Krysti updating this because somehow I think brandon forgets about this...lol. Okay sothis is life....I am working 2.5 hrs away from where Brandon is so it stinks a little. He has been able to come down the past few weekends however we are going to miss this one....which this weekend makes 9 months that we have been together....and I must say they have beensome of the best months of my life so far...I love him so much it amazes that somebody can be everything that you wanted and yet everything you never knew that you wanted and that is exactly what Brandon is to me. Other than God he is my rock. He is one thing that I know I can keep and will never leave or do anything hurtful to me. Isn't that so awesome to have sombody like that? I never ever thought that I would have that but I am glad that I have found it.
So now back to life....I work down at Fort Caswell in Oak Island, NC. It is a Jesus Camp...lol. I love it. However I do miss Brandon..so babe if you read this you know its the truth. This job amazes me however I can't wait to be home where I can see him more often.

Our First Blog....a little background.

Well let's just start this blog off by saying that I am absolutely thrilled that me and Brandon are going to be blogging about our lives together starting now before we even get married. I just think that this will be a great way to keep people updated with what is going on in our lives since we don't see a lot of people on a regular basis...plus this is a good way to keep people involved with our wedding up to date on the details that way everybody can stay organized because I know that it can get crazy....lol.

Me and Brandon have been together for 8 months as of May 28. We have been engaged since New Year's Eve. So yes....we dated for only 3 months before we got engaged....hey when you know their the one why wait. The proposal was kinda funny. A few days prior to New Year's we had made plans with our friend's Heather and Justin ( who also are engaged to each other) to go over to Justin's house to ring in the New Year together. Then just a couple of days before New Year's Brandon texted me and said "I can't wait to see you Wednesday"....I told him I couldn't wait either and then he said there was something that he needed to tell me. Being the curious person I can be I tried to pry out of him what it was and he just proceeded to tell me that it needed to wait until wednesday. Eventually I was able to pry a couple of clues out of him....they came in texts..."always and forever...I guess you'll have to figure that out before wednesday"....and "it will make you go OMG". I kinda thought that it might be a proposal but I didn't think so because I mean after all we had been dating for three months. New Years comes around and I had asked a couple of friends what they thought his clues meant and they all concluded what I thought too. The four of us just hang out and watch Supernatural until he finally decides that we need to talk....keep in mind he kept pushing back the time that he was going to talk to me...he said I was bugging him about it too much...lol. It was 11:30 pm and he decides to take me downstairs into Justin's room to talk to me in private....(btw he is sweating bullets by now and his heart was beating so fast I think that I could almost see it beating out of his chest). He continued to stall for like 15 minutes and then he sit next to me and he started to say "you know I love you right?" and of course I say yeah and he then was like that was what I wanted to tell you....then he kinda just stared at me and started talking again " What would you say...." then Justin came in to see what was going on and Brandon signals to him to get out of his own room...lol. Justin leaves and Brandon says "What would you say if I were to ask you to marry me?" I just kind of looked at him with a weird grin and said " Ummm....are you asking me?" then of course he says yes but see he just kinda starts nodding his head and going uh huh.....he was tearing up....and I just looked at him and said " Yes!" and then I grabbed him and hugged him. After that we proceeded upstairs where we left Heather and Justin and I snuck down on the floor where Heather was and whispered.." Looks like we both are going into 2009 engaged!".
