Autumn light fading fast

This autumn has had its ups and downs. There has been struggle and loss that noone wants to face.. but through it all we have both managed to keep going and smiling. We have had our good times also(ahem the ring). So now as I prepare myself for an autumn walk in the park.. I can't help but look back over the past few months and smile. I'm the happiest I've been in my entire life. Not to mention a lot wiser. Whatever the future holds for me, I'm ready.

Fall Fun

What a weekend! Well Technically it is now the week but its been a continuation of the weekend.

Friday:
I picked Dakotah up and luckily he wanted to see Twilight too! YAY!! After we talked Garrett into going, we set off to the theatre. I wasnt to impressed with the movie. I mean I loved it, but if you hadnt read the book, you would probably get lost during the movie. The imagery was beautiful though... and I'm still a fan. Bring on New Moon!!

Saturday:
Garrett had to work until Noon... and I kinda sleptuntil Garrett woke me up. We set off to try a new sammich place here in Plano called Lemmys. Their Philly Cheesestake was alright but I've had better. We then went back to the house and chilled until it was time to leave for the Stars game. We had killer seats, third row behind the Star's bench. After we arrived, got our seats, and the Stars came out, we realized that we had secound row behind the Ducks bench. Woo we were closer!! but we were behind the freakin wrong bench! haha. I soon got over this and enjoyed the game. I think Dakotah did too. We lost(*sad face*) but it was still a great game. I got to witness my first face off so that was fun.
Once we got home we decided that, in the spirit of hockey, we would watch Slapshot. That movie was soo great. If you like hockey you have to see it.

Sunday
I woke up early to spend time with Dakotah. In the spirit of niceness I let Garrett sleep in until Dakotah and I couldnt handle our hunger anymore. After I woke him up we set off for Nikkis! I love Nikkis. They have the best French Toast EVER! Later that evening we took Dakotah to the Purple Cow. I love that place.. I had a peppermint shake and it was freakin Delish! We then set off to see Role Model. That movie is NOT children appropriate.. I guess thats why they rated it R. haha. It was still funny though.

Monday
We didnt do much... I took Dakotah to Toys R Us.. We ordered Pizza and stayed in. Dakotah had to work on his new legos set all night and then we decided to make hand turkeys! yay!

I forgot the zoom was on... haha.
Tuesday
We didnt do much.. just sat around and finished the Legos project. Then I took Dakotah home. I already miss the kid.


Wellp its now time to make Thanksgiving Pecan Pie!

The awakening of a sleeping giant

°Metallica Concert kicked ass
°I'm home.
°Twilight premiers tonight.
°Don't want to go to work tomorrow.
°Stars Game Saturday.

*Screen goes fuzzy, music ques, time travels back to Tuesday night, BOK Center.*

As the lights go down, I cant help but hear the most primal scream escape my lips. I see James step up on stage and they automatically go into perfomance. The crowd is going nuts. The light show is unexplainable.. each light coming from huge steel coffins hung from the rafters. The vibe is insane and I can't believe I'm there to witness it.

Every song they played was amped with energy and furiosity. I couldnt believe I was seeing "Metallica". The band I had made fun of so many times for selling out and sucking ass. I couldnt believe I was actually enjoying myself.

They put on one of the best shows I've ever seen. 2'nd best in my lifetime..(you wont catch me putting Metallica before Slayer, sorry)... and I'll admit I half expected to see Lars coming onto stage driving hover-round, James toting a cane, and Kirk to be sitting in the yoga position center stage. They really blew my perception of Metallica out of the water.

I plan on seeing them again and the journalist who compared this tour to Russia taking over Georgia was dead on.. This is the awakening of a sleeping giant.

*Screen goes fuzzy, intro of The Day that Never Comes is on. Faze back to now*

I'm home, sleepy and not wanting to go to work. I'd rather go see the Twilight premier tonight at midnight... oh Twilight with your one liners that make me melt and be thankful for my own Edward(ahem Garrett). I'm quite excited about tomorrow and seeing it. I dont care if I have to drag my 11 yr old brother and 25 yr old boyfriend along! I'm seeing it!!

Saturday we're going to see the Stars play. Third row behind the players! I'm sooo stoked. =]

Well I guess I should end this and go to bed.
Blah, work.

So what do ya say?

As I walk in my door, happy to be home from the Danzig concert, I notice somethings not right. I look up and see a pumkin sitting right in my view. "Will you marry me?" carved into it.

"What?" I say.. more confused than anything. I look at Garrett and he has a white box open with a ring and he says "So... what do you say?"

Still confused but starting to get the idea of whats going on I say "huh?" and he repeats "What do you say?" holding the ring in my view.

"oh!!!! of course!!" Then we kiss.

So... Garrett and I are engaged!!!! We've haven't set the date just yet, but are planning on late September or early October of nexty year More details soon. We're very excited.

There are those who thought it would never happen, but, as I'm discovering, not too many who thought it shouldn't. =]

Before I ever met Garrett I had told 2 close friends that he was the one. As I waited in the parking lot to meet Garrett for the first time in person with my dear friend Koldee Kong, I told him that Garrett is going to be the guy I marry.. and not to call me crazy for spending a weekend with a guy I've never met. haha.

Luckily throwing all caution to the wind finally paid off.. because I am the happiest girl on earth. Every day gets better and I've learned what love really is. I could get mushier.. but I dont want to make anyone throw up.

Next fall, you better be there!!!

love,

Tiffany
