The Proposal

On 12/12/09 we were in Crystal Lake on Main Beach. The plan was to hang out then go Christmas shopping. (Meagan always needs a plan!) Blake came up with a good idea of setting the camera on a timer to get a cute picture of us: on the lake, sun setting, etc. After a few trials, he pressed the picture button, ran over...and proposed. Hence-the picture. It was perfect and even more perfect that we have a picture to never forget it!

So Much To Talk About!

We have so much going on right now. I will try to recap everything but may need to come back and add more!

1) We are having a house warming/ engagement party at our house on Aug. 7th. This is to be a small little get together with our family members who have not yet been to the new place or had a chance to see us in a while. We hope to offer them a nice first experience in our new home!

2) We are now registered at 2 places! Bed Bath and Beyond and Crate and Barrel. We are trying to keep things basic for right now as the seasons and styles will be changing. everyone was asking about our registries, so we figured we could throw our essentials on there for the time being! We do plan on making a small registry at Home Depot in the future... we'll keep you posted.

3) Blake got promoted again! He is now what is called a Service Manager. This is one step away from his goal for his first 2 years at Chipotle.... and he has only been there for a year! Congrats!

4) The Bad- Blake has had a bump on his stomach for quite some time now. We recently went to the Dr. to have him take a look at it. At first glance he did not think much of it but did find it serious enough to send him to a surgeon. So just yesterday we went and saw him. It turns out that Blake has a "Big" hernia above his belly button, a "little" hernia on his belly button, and a deformity of his abdominal muscle (untreatable for males, however it is in no way causing pain or problems). Needless to say this was a bit shocking as we were thinking it would be a nice easy fix.
So in the end, surgery is required on July 29th to repair both hernia's. This is a very common surgery, unfortunately with Blake's history of Hernia's (4), they will be taking extra precautions which will add pain and time to the recovery. He's a big boy though and will come out better from it.

I think that is all we have for now. We will be talking to ya'll soon!

  1. Hi you two! I am so excited to see what you have on your "wish list"! It is so much fun to get all new stuff and enjoy it in your new home! Blake, I wish you didn't have to go through this surgery! I know it will be just fine but pretty please just remember to be patient during the recovery time. I wish I could be there to help with things. I love you both and you are always in my thoughts and heart!
