Jeeze, where has the time gone?! It feels like Christmas should still be a week away... am I right?!
Life has been sooo crazy lately I have barley had a second to breath!
Anyways, I have lots and lots to update y'all on so I hope you're ready!
First of all Christmas was absolutely amazing! Jude and I spent lots of time with our family and
truly enjoyed every second. I got to watch my nephews open their gifts on Christmas morning, and it was so sweet seeing them get so excited!
Jude and I agree to not get anything for each other for Christmas, and I have to admit I definitely gave him a hard time when he actually didn't get me anything for Christmas. Little did I know...
The next weekend I planned and hosted a dinner party at my sisters house so we could use all of her fancy china. We had so much fun eating and just enjoying some celebrating.

Later that night, I got my sweat pants on, tied back my hair and laid down. Jude said he ended up getting me a Christmas present and he handed me a medium sized black box. He thought I was going to think it was a ring.. but I truthfully didn't. So I opened this box and it was the cheapest white watch I have ever seen (actually it was from Walmart). I just looked at him and said "Jude, I already have a white watch...why would you waste your money on this?" I then yanked it out of the box and a big shinny thing came flying at me out from under the watch. Of course I jumped up and started having a panic attack. It hit me...omg he was proposing. He got down on one knee, in my bedroom, and told me that it's been 4 years and he's never stopped loving me.
I think he thought I was actually hyperventilating because he started to try to calm me down. I know I didn't have an extravagant proposal but I can tell you this, Jude surprised the shit out of me. Never did I expect it coming at that moment. And if he would have tried to take me to a fancy dinner, a nice hotel, anything extravagant, I would have known it was coming. Because for the last 2 months every single time we did anything like that I thought it was coming!
I actually didn't believe the ring was real at first because of how beautiful it is, I made him show me the appraisal papers ;) So then of course we had to go tell my parents (my dad already knew because Jude asked his permission a few months ago when he bought the ring), and then everyone else in the world we care about! Everyone is so excited and I cannot wait to be the Mr & Mrs Smith!
We're planning for a wedding on 9-5-15 and I cannot wait to marry my prince charming :)
After all of this we got to celebrate Jude's birthday! Our first celebration as an engaged couple! I threw him a party at my house for his family and my family and we all had so much fun!
