Finally have a date!!!

Well folks...it's about time, we have finally set a date. April 28th, 2007. That is when Zac and I will be getting married. I am so excited. FINALLY!!! Dude, you have no idea how much stuff I have to do. Poor Zac has been, I guess you could say frustrated, stressed, etc., about trying to find out when he would be able to come down here and get married. The poor guy! I love that boy so dearly and I am so glad I am marrying him. I couldn't imagine myself with another man and I can't imagine me being happier with any other man either. Zac I love you baby! We will be getting married in my church with my pastor. It will be elegant and formal and absolutely gorgeous! Yeah! The dress I absolutely want is breathtaking. I have been dreaming about this dress since I was a little girl and I have found it. But the only problem...$549!!! EEEKKKK!!! But you know what, it is worth every penny. I'm praying that there will be a sale sometime soon where it will cost me like $99, you know those great sales David's Bridal has all the time.
Italy was what we were going to do for our honeymoon, but not right now. I mean, we are going to be a newlywed couple, and we don't need to be spending over $6000 right at first. I told him it is ok, we don't have to go to Italy yet. We can wait until an anniversary or something. Wow, anniversaries. Crazy! September 2 will be two years for me and Zac. We have been dating for 2 years already. Time flies when you are having fun. And we really have had fun. I mean, we have had our share of fights, well it was always me starting them of course, but Zac is so level headed, better than I am and he knows how to put out those fires I start. LOL. Thank you God for Zac. I don't know what Zac sees in me, but God bless him for deciding to spend the rest of his life with me. lol! I can't wait. Have I mentioned that! have I mentioned that I am extremely happy too? lol, yeah definetly becoming a giddy school. yuck, all of a sudden thinking of brittany squeers stupid music video...'oh baby baby...' YUCK!!! Ok, changing subject, or better yet, going to bed. More tomorrow, so for now, good night all and a pleasant night sleep!

I'm ENGAGED!!!

Well ladies and gentlemen, it is official....I am Engaged! Zac proposed last night at the Space Needle in Seattle. It was sooo romantic! Zac and I had reservations for the restaurant for 8:45pm. Well we got there on time and they said our table wasn't ready yet, so they gave us a pager and sent us to the observation deck to have a look at the city at sunset. Talk about GORGEOUS!!!! Well anyways, we get up there and I try and take some pictures of the city with a digital camera (which of course, doesn't like to work with me, lol) and took some pictures of me and Zac with the city behind us. Well, we walked around the deck a couple of times and then he asked me if I wanted to sit down, so I said sure. We sit down, and he tells me to put the camera in my purse. So I did. He looked at me and told me he loved me, I replied, then he asked me to hold the pager. I was going to put it by my side, and when I looked back over at him, he got up and got down on one knee. This is what I said, "OH my gosh, what are you doing?". LOL. I think he said will you marry me, but I didn't quite hear him because I think I went everything went silent at that moment, so I said, "What?". He laughed and then clearly said, "Kristen, will you do me the honor of being my wife?!?". So of course, how did I reply, while crying my eyes out....."YES, YES, YES I'LL BE YOUR WIFE!!!!!" And of course kissed him and cried some more. It was perfect.
I can't believe I am engaged...I am getting married!!! YEAH!!! I couldn't be happier and I couldn't be with a better man. Zac is so incredible and I am lucky that he chose me to be his wife. :o) I haven't stopped smiling since last night.
After dinner, we picked up our friend Nick and went for Starbucks. Umm...hello, I am in the Starbucks capitol! Why wouldn't we go for Starbucks?!?! lol. Anyways, we got coffee and talked abut the wedding. Zac asked Nick to be his Best Man...Nick said yes. Yeah! I asked my sister to be my Maid of Honor. She said yes, and she is also going to be preparing a song to sing at my reception. I can't wait to hear it. I also asked Red to be my Bridesmaid, and she said she would be tickled! That is great! I love ya Red, if you are reading this. I miss you and can't wait to see you on Sunday!
I called my parents this morning, b/c I couldn't get ahold of them last night...tee hee....and they have known about this for weeks. I was like, dang! Apparently, Zac called my parents a couple of weeks ago and asked for my hand in marriage. From what I was told, they said they would be honored! SOOOOOO....I think we decided in April sometime to get married!! Me....MARRRIED!!!! Yeehaw!!!!! lol
Well, gotta run, more later!

It is over!!!

Thank goodness we are finished!!! The King and I is over and done, etc., etc. etc. *giggle* I am so glad I did it though. I had a blast with my friend Red and she and I got to know a lot of amazing people. I am so thankful for that. But no more coloring my hair black every single day, and trying to wash it all out in one shampoo every single night (which is actually impossible, it takes about 2 or 3 tries). But I think I still have black residue from that mousse we used. YUCK! Never again....well, not never again, it depends upon the role I guess. *giggle*
Here are some picture of us during the play:
(will post later)


This friday is my vacation. I am flying to Seattle to see my baby! YEAH!!!! Zac is so excited and so am I. We haven't seen each other in like 3 months and it is driving us both crazy! eeekkk!!!! Oh well, I know God was preparing us for this. He started him in Waco, 30 minutes away from me and only seeing each other once every week or two weeks. Now he is in a different state and we have gone 3 months without seeing each other. That is, to me, RIDICULOUS!!!

I took this quiz today on Red's site and thought it was kind of funny, so here it is:


Your Linguistic Profile:
65% General American English
15% Dixie
10% Yankee
5% Upper Midwestern
0% Midwestern


I'm just all of everything. LOL!!!

Pride and Prejudice is now my absolute favorite movie now. It is sooooo romantic, and of course it makes me cry everytime Mr. Darcy says,





"...Mrs. Darcy....Mrs. Darcy....Mrs. Darcy..."
AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Man, that's good!!!!!



But, it was such a compelling story.
First, she is intrigued, then bored, then torn, then hates him, and then falls in love with him. And everytime she says something dumb, especially when he proposes to her the first time and she refuses him and lets her foolish pride get in the way, I end up screaming at the tv at her, "STUPID GIRL!!!!" I end up asking Red if she can 'thump' Elizabeth Bennett in the head for her stupidity. lol.
Oh and who can forget the part where they are dancing at the ball...

"Do you make it a rule to talk while dancing?"
"No, I prefer to be unsocialble....."

Lol, that is great!

If only our society was like it was back then....If only!
