He Makes Me Happy :]

The next couple of weeks are not going to be super fun...

Race and I both work at Coldstone Creamery and for the next week and a half or two weeks we are on completely opposite schedules...which means we NEVER get to see each other.

I know this is life but it's still not tons of fun.

This morning I called Race before he opened the store just to say good morning.

He had me get out of bed, walk downstairs and open my door...

And, right outside my door was...

MY BIKE! 

Yeah, yeah I'm sure you were all expecting something super romantic but let me tell you about this.

Race and I decided to have him drive to work in the morning and then I ride my bike there for the evening shift and then he rides it home so I have a car to drive home when I get off at night.

So yesterday we did that except we forgot to throw the bike in the back of his 

truck before he drove me home. 

I was kind of upset because it is a long hot walk to Coldstone in the afternoon. 

So Race brought it over for me and left it outside my door with the key and a cute note taped to the seat.

I love this boy!!! 

And here is the cute note with my crazy morning hair. 

He is so dang sweet :]

Engagement Photos :]

Some of our engagement photos are up on this site! Check them out! We are very happy with how they turned out and we loved our session with our photographer Jessica Downey. She made us comfortable enough to just be ourselves so the shots turned out really natural and fun. :]

Wakeboarding

The institute in Flagstaff does Wakeboard Wednesdays every week. Race and I had never gone to one of them until last night because of work, Race's face, and other things coming up. But, last night we went and it was so much fun! We headed over to Lake Mary around five so that we could spend some time enjoying the sun on the "beach" (it was just a ton of rocks--not too comfy). We laid out on some towels and talked and played DoodleJump (a fun game I have on my phone). Later we headed over to where people from the institute were meeting and we got on a boat with four other people and stayed out on the lake the whole time! (I don't think this normally happens but our boat driver was awesome :]) Anyway, Race went first and it was his third time every wakeboarding. He is so good!!! He made it look so easy and fun, of course. :] Then all of the other people on the boat went and finally I decided to try. I jumped in the lake with all the gear on and they told me what to do. I didn't get up the first time, or the second, or the third...well actually I don't know how many times it took me to get up. Haha. But a few times I did get up but then fell right away. Finally, on my last try I got up and stayed up for about twenty seconds! I know it doesn't sound like much but it was a lot of fun! It's quite the rush once you get up and get going for a while. So, Wakeboard Wednesday was a success for me and I can't wait to go again and work on getting up even better and staying going for a while. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of Race or me so I don't have any of those but here is a picture of beautiful Lake Mary where we went. It was also nice to just be in such beautiful surroundings for the evening.

Race and I will actually be taking some of our engagement photos in an area like this in a week from Saturday! We will be taking them at Lake Marshall, which really isn't a lake but it does have the beautiful trees and sky and long grasses. So it will be very pretty as well. Ten days 'til we take our engagement photos and 71 days 'til we get married!!! :]

Race's Face Day 5

Here's day five of Race's face. It's not nearly as swollen but there is a nasty yellow bruise if you can see it.

Race's Face

First off I'd like to say welcome to the new blog! :) Race and I are excited to share our future with all of you! Now on to more interesting things. Race posted a little bit about his surgery earlier this week. I just wanted to put some pictures up so you could are how he's doing. :) I hope it's not too embarrassing for him!

Here is his face the day of the surgery:





Here is day two:




Here is day three (doesn't his hair look nice?):




And finally day four:




My poor lover. Haha. He's getting better slowly but surely! And I promise I'm taking VERY good care of him. :)
