Warning!

This is an article I found on Snopes.com. Its a place that proves or disproves legends, current stories, or rumors. This is definately something you want to let everyone know about!

Its about the dangers of opening your door for strangers who say they are in distress. PLEASE let everyone you know get this link or at least hear about it! I'm glad I found this stuff out!

Save The Date cards

So since Dustin and I have some out of state family, we are going to send out Save The Date cards to those out of town (and if you want one, just let me know).  I'm going to try to see if we can get a good, cute picture of us this weekend so we can send them out before Thanksgiving to give some good ticket buying time to those travelers.  I'm going to need all my readers help, which will only be like two people, to decide which pic looks the best!  So hopefully we'll get those done this weekend.  Keep your eyes open for those! :)

This is Rebekah! The newest Edwards gal! Erika and Jeff made a baby and on December 6, 2007! She is so cute and funny and lovable and just sweet! I will definately be posting more pictures of the little fat head soon!

The Beginning!

So Dustin and I met online. We started talking on myspace on December 19th at about midnight and didn't finish talking until about 5am. :) If you couldn't tell, we kind of clicked right away! We went on our first date on January4th. We went to Sweeney Todd and later I found out he doesn't like musicals! He sat through it just for me!! :) After the movie, we hit Applebee's and had chicken strips. Which I've never seen him eat since. He was so cute! We talked and talked and talked. And I couldn't stop smiling! I still can't! By January 5th, we were planning our second date! I Am Legend and Bowling! It was just four days later! I totally kicked his butt the first game, but the last two, he walluped me! It was SSSSOOO much fun! After that, we spent every waking, non working hour of the week together. Then on January 13th, we decided neither of us wanted to date anyone else! We'd found something wonderful! It was instant love. And its grown so much since!
I was lucky enough to finally have someone around for Valentines Day! Its even better that I know my first Valentines Day was spent with the guy who I'm going to spend my last Valentines Day with!
Then on our 3 month anniversary, Dustin took me out for a surprise dinner. My mom took me to buy a nice dress and when I got to his house, I looked fantastic! We got in the car and drove downtown to The Melting Pot! That place is one of my favorites! We sat down and ordered and ate our meal and talked and laughed and did all that fun anniversary dinner stuff. Then the dessert course came! MMM!! Chocolate fondue! And he scooted up next to me and pulled out a little box and PROPOSED! After only three months, we both knew it was right! It was a wonderful night!
Its been nine months so far, wedding plans have started. I'm so excited and can't wait to marry my wonderful fiance!
We've had our ups and downs. I will admit most of it has been my craziness, but throughout it all he's been right by my side!
