Cheers to the New Year

Happy New Years Eve bloggy peeps. In just a few short hours we are going to be ringing a new year! A brand spanking new year. I have always loved fresh starts and a new year has that written all over it. But first, lets talk 2015.

In my last post I spent quite a few paragraphs already recapping the time that I was gone so I'll just spend a short time recapping the whole 2015.

2015 Recap

- I started my senior year in college

- Our family welcomed a new addition

- I turned 21 ;)

- We closed on 5 acres of waterfront property

- Our family summer vacation to Concan was one for the books

That is about it folks. 2015 was a slow year but we hit some major milestones throughout the year. 

Also 2015 was a really rough year for Law Enforcement. I want to pay my respects to all of the brave men and women who courageously lost their lives this year defending and honoring the thin blue line. I truly hope to see all of the violence and hate come to a stop in 2016. 

As for 2016, I hope you are the best year yet to come! I can't wait to graduate and start my career next year and I look forward to many more memories to come.  Happy New Year!

Love,

Kristy

You got that bow tie, tailored look in your eye and I got that white lace, beaded, thing that you like.

Currently suffering from wedding fever and Tay Swifts song "Style" running through my head.

Hence the long title to this post. No, I'm not engaged (yet) but a little blue bird informed me that it was coming soon. J and I have been together since November of 2010 and I've been dreaming about this moment for a long time. I feel so guilty for knowing that this moment is on the horizon but I wasn't told a specific date, so ha ;)  not feeling that guilty. Just super super super excited. I've already planned out how I want to announce it on Facebook. And since I've started blogging more, I'll probably post all about it on here! So no, ya'll cant know about my super cute idea to announce it. Hopefully I wont have to wait that long to post it! I'm hoping for maybe this summer :) but only time will tell.

And I know I should wait until the ring to start planning but I cant! We've causally been discussing wedding plans over the years and since we both love everything about the beach, we've decided on a beach themed wedding! And I have already found the perfect venue!! I wont reveal that until later too ;) You'll just have to stick around and find out!

I still feel ehh about blogging personal details but that was kind of the point of starting my blog anyway. To document my life through out the years. The good, the bad, the ugly, the crazy, everything. And to share some of life's moments with my readers :)

I also feel like I should open up my blog more and add more of "me" to it but when your apart of law enforcement it's one of those things you have to be careful about. I'm still thinking about it though so it's not completely off the table! Any LEO significant others have suggestions?

Also, If you happen to stop by my blog feel free to leave a comment! I would love to get to know my readers!! And I apologize in advance for constant use of !! but I can't help it, that's just me! :)

I'll be back to blog more soon!
Until next time,

Kristy

Flashback Friday (Spurs Edition)

So here I am on a Friday night, enjoying the peace and quiet. HA! Kind of hard to do when my neighbors dogs wont stop barking. They've been barking non stop for the past three hours, I kid you not. They bark at everything. I'm totally convinced that they can hear me typing inside my house and are barking because of me typing. Like what else would they be barking at, right?

Any way J is working tonight and, even though Js been in Law enforcement for (almost) three years now, I still hate Friday nights by myself. So I decided to post my first #flashbackfriday post in honor of the Spurs playing tonight and to remind me that not all Friday nights suck ;)


Here we go, Spurs game February 28th, 2014 Military Appreciation Night

And yes, those are court-side seats front row if you may ask ;)

And no, we did not purchase them they were graciously given to us courtesy of Js dad!

Not only did Spurs win that game but directly behind us sat THE David Robinson. J got to take a picture with him. How cool!! So see, not all Friday nights stink . Just the ones were I wish I were cuddling with J watching Netflix. Speaking of Netflix, I guess I'll go back to watching Army Wives now ( RIP Claudia Joy. Been crying my eyes out for two hours) and eating my skinny cow ice cream :) Also, GO SPURS!!!

Until Next Time,

Love Kristy

( P.S. After 33 years of service, J's dad retired from the Army last February. We are happy to have him home and glad he is apart of our daily lives now. A special thank you to all of our soldiers that have served and are currently serving in our military. A big ol' hug from Texas. We love you guys!)
