I am creating this blog mostly in hopes of having a way to express my anger, joys, loves, sorrows, and frusterations. Thoughout the last few six months we have literally been on an emotional rollercoaster. As soon as one thing goes so incredibly right, something else goes so horribly wrong. However, we sure have grown up and grown closer throughout our little journey.
Over these last six months of our rollercoaster ride we've became engaged, had an apartment fire, two very sick puppies, and started the process of buying a house all while Cameron travels the contential U.S. for his job.
We became engaged on February 6, 2011. Even though I knew it was about to happen, he took my breathe away by the way he asked me. Conquencidently enough, the day we got engaged I was shopping with my mother, sister, and Cameron's mother for my wedding dress. When we finally called it quits for the day, they took me home and thats when my little follow the sign and rose petal road began. I walked up the stairs to our apartment (which just so happens to be on the third floor). On the door I see a sign saying "WILL". I reached for the door and it was locked. So I unlocked the door and inside the house there was a little trail of rose petals on the floor and candles lite all around. I followed the trail to the next sign which was on the bedroom door. It said "YOU". The trail of roses then lead me to the bathroom where a sign read "MARRY".... as I opened the door Cameron was right there saying "MEEEEEEEEE!!!" He had me a hot bath, candles lite, and my ring in the middle of a tray with fresh strawberries. It was so romantic and amazing. I will never forget that day for the rest of my life.
So, the wedding planning began....
Trying to plan a wedding in nine months is hard. Finding a venue was even harder. Finally we settled with the Holy Shepherd Lutheran Church for the ceremony and the Denver West Marriott for the reception.Thus far, we have all that set, the cake ordered, the photographer book, wedding dress bought, tuxes picked out, save the dates sent, invitations bought, and probably more things that I have forgotten. However, we still have so much to do...and to pay for. Oh and I forgot to mention that besides our flight being cancelled, our honeymoon cruise is booked and will soon have flights to it.
All that all seems fine and dandy, and quite exciting I might add. However, on April 18, 2011, our life forever changed. Our apartment was involved in a fire, damaging our unit making it unlivable. This single event has continued to affect our every day life. It truly has become an uphill battle that we seem to be losing, slowly but surely. We just recently got our belongings back but they are being stored in my parents garage until we have our own place again. We have been going back and forth between his parents house and mine just trying not to get in the way. This has literally been the hardest, most stressful thing we have been through. While, it seems to be a blessing in disguise we are still waiting to see if that is truly the case. A few weeks ago, Cameron and I put an offer in on a hour in Arvada and we are currently battling the mortgage companies to finish this whole process so we can finally have our own home again. Kinley, got stuck in the fire, causing so much stress for her as well as pneumonia. It took a few weeks for her to recover but she is doing well, even though it sure is tough on her to have to move from house to house with us. We are hoping we get everything sorted out with this house so she will have her own backyard to play in. We were supposed to close on our house next Friday, June 24, 2011 however that is not happening because of some troubles. We are now planning to close on it July 8th. So everyone please keep your fingers crossed for us.
We have had so many things go horribly wrong lately, we honestly do not know how much more we can take. Not to mention, its hard enough going through all this with someone by your side, imagine doing it while on the road, or home alone. As many of you know it is essential for Cameron to travel for his job. This adds stress to us during these hard times.... It is extremely difficult. But, we are doing the best we can to stay positive with every low blow, and hit in the face.
I will be updating this as much as possible, letting a little in sight in.
