Engaged =)

November 20, 2010 was the best day of my life!

When i woke up that morning i was quite angry with Drew. He made me think that he didnt have anything planned for our big date that night except dinner at Magianos...so i was under the impression that I would end up planning the whole night and that was not gonna fly with me. I ended up really ticking him off and when i met him at sonic he told he that he had had a plan for that night for the past 3 weeks. Oops! I felt extremely bad. Afterward i went to target to meet my sister and somehow she ended up dragging me to the nail salon begging that we get french manicures. Even this gesture didnt make me think twice about what was going to happen. (Oh p.s my sister knew about what was going to happen that night. though she made me think that we were only going to a movie). When we got home Linds helped me get dressed and do my hair all fancy! Im so glad she was involved in making this night so special. Drew came to pick me up around 6 because we had reservations at 7. He came over with the most beautiful pink roses i have ever seen! (I am going to keep them forever btw!). We ate dinner at Magianos! It was delicious! At the end of dinner he informs me that we were going to the Parthanon to take pictures and walk around. And so we did. We were hanging out by the parthanon when he grabs my hand and says "Lets dance". So we slowed danced for a few minutes while he whispered sweet things to me. Then we decided to go so i turned to head toward the car and i notice that he wasnt behind me. I felt a little tap on my shoulder and when i turned back around he had the ring box out! It shocked me so much that all i could say over and over again was O MY GOODNESS! He got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! I SAID YES! Obviously. The ring is absolutely perfect! I love it! Its been two weeks since the proposal and i still will sometimes just stare at its beauty! Back to the story. When i got back in the car i immediately called my family! We went by to visit them too. I am so glad they are 100% behind us in our decision. I am also glad that my future in laws are supportive too! We went to visit them after seeing my family! I loved his moms reaction! She is so sweet! Im so lucky to have a future mother in law like her! Overall it was by far the best day of my life! We havent set a date yet but we plan on getting married December 2011. I cannot wait to be Mrs. Lauren Whitfield!

love love love.

LT------> soon to be LW.

im lovin it =)

seeing as my last blog wasnt that happy i think i should start over. well its been awhile since i last blogged and its definitely because i am so busy these days! i work 3 days a week and school/internship 2 days a week. then when i am free i am obviously spending my time with Drew and my friends/family! its been a great semester and i am so glad i decided to stick it out by staying in school. its hard to believe that the first half of the semester is over! it has flown by! i found out that i will for sure graduate next fall 2011! that makes me soooo happy! i am also getting really excited about my internship this summer too. haha definitely a different attitude than i had just a few months ago. its funny how i went from hating school and not caring to really enjoying school and excited about getting a degree! anyways, lindsey comes home thursday after being away at college for 9 weeks! i cant wait to see her!

so yeah. life is great for me! im loving it all!

love love love.

but she got a tan and i got a sunburn

Hello! Welp this is the last week of summer. I cant believe school will be starting a week from today! It really flew by! Im ready for it though. I gotta powerthrough it in order to be done by christmas 2011. Its been a great few weeks since i last wrote here! Been spending most of my time with my best friend DW. Oh and the boys turned 1 on saturday! YAY! I also got a fabulous new SLR camera! Still trying to figure it all out still but i love taking pics with it!

Anyways besides working im trying to take it easy this week. Today i spent most of the day at the pool with Sobe!

loving my life =D

just for now

got my huuurrr done today. not sure how i feel about it. my family loves it. actually thats an understatement. my dad applauded me and said that i dont look like an alien anymore. whatever that means. haha. my mom and sister freaked out too. but you know though, hair is hair. the color will come out eventually. or i can fix it if i decide that i hate it. it honestly doesnt look all that different to me anyways.

so i met the most interesting old woman at the hair place today. she was full of the most random stories that went on for what seemed like ages. i barely got 2 words in. but i didnt mind. she kept me entertained. especially the story about how she got bit by a brown recluse spider on her boob. yep. not joking. i thought they were like super poisonous though? hmmm who knows. LOL

its been a good week so far. a ton better than the week before. im so glad i dont feel all depressed anymore. thats a relief. ha. saturday night me and dw went to the fair. it was fun! and sunday after taking charley to the park we went floating down the harpeth again. haha floating fail #2. lets review: 2/1/2 hours of floating. spilling our drink 2 minutes in. spider infested, low hanging tree. climbing an embankment. trekking through a horse farm. discovering that LT has major issues dealing with direction, time, and distance. PRICELESS. there are some fun things that money cant buy. im still laughing about it all. i know im gonna get made fun of for awhile, but thats ok. gotta love adventures. =D

im still reading eat pray love. ive decided its overall a great book, but there are some parts that seem to really drag on. all of my favorite parts of the book are the parts where she it feels like she is talking to me. parts that literally scream out "hey la this is meant for you. take it and learn from it." i had one of those moments yesterday. it was so...whats the word im looking for? enlightening? maybe thats it. i literally laughed out loud and thought to myself, o dang that is so true, and so dead on... anyways...

ahh school starts 3 weeks from today.

the twins turn 1 next week!

"It's that time of year. Leave all our hopelessnesses aside (if just for a little while). Tears stop right here. I know we've all had a bumpy ride (I’m secretly on your side)"

new angle

day 2 (getting happier and not letting my mood affect anyone anymore).

yesterday was a good day! ok semi good day but better night! the boys were easy and didnt put up a fight when i put them to bed, which was a relief for me. so i put on my favorite UT sweatpants (thanks dw!) and got comfy on the couch and finished "Charlie St. Cloud". let me just say that it was such a wonderful book! even the ending was a happy one! im so thankful it didnt turn out to be some sappy and sad love story! it was the kind of book with adventure and romance that made you never want to put it down but at the same time you wanted to stop and savor every minute of it because you knew it would eventually come to an end. i cant wait to see the movie. but judging from past experiences i bet i will like the book better. i really think that DW will like it! maybe this weekend we can go see it!

at borders today i found a new book that i think i will love just as much. since i seem to be reading books with major motion films to go along with it i chose the book "Eat Pray Love". so far-just like the last book i read- i am already 7 chapters in.

yay for good book finds!

o and yay for the people who are coming to fix our washer/dryer! i can finally start washing the dirty clothes 'mountain' that has been pilling up in the corner of my room for weeks now!

i think i may go to sonic in a bit and enjoy happy hour while reading my new book.

tonight i get to hang out with my best friend. possibly gettin some krispy kreme? who knows.

im really liking this whole live your life and be happy attitude thing. its working well for me. lets hope i can continue this way. =)

hahahahahahhaahahahahahah gahhhh i love old pictures. seriously my day just got made. i found old pics from my 21st birthday (not to mention the crap ton of hilarious videos we made), blakes party pics (AKA jimmys 'revenge' pics), summer ohhh 9 pics anddddd the first day i moved to the boro pics! i literally just laughed out loud for a good 10 minutes. i love laughing that hard. wow! im so glad i stumbled upon these. good timesss. i wish everyone could have seen how char char was looking at me while i was laughing. he had this look of "what in the world is wrong with her" which made me laugh even harder.

thank the good lord for laughter. what would i do without it?

"what in the world are you doing?... im talking to my twin brother justin bobby"
