dustin and i have tied the knot, officially :)  married life is pretty amazing.  i was dustin's little "homemaker" up until this past sunday.  that (getting married) was my first life changing experience.  now, to the second.  you see...sunday february 11th marks a different special point in my life.  that point would be the one where i first experienced vikodin and muscle relaxers.  that day was filled with fun, laughter, snow, ramps, and a med clinic.  i learned one thing that day, my friends, my back was not made for ramping.  i have now been bed-ridden for 3 days...i took my first shower yesterday since the whole incident.  still waiting for some other...important things to happen since the accident...but i won't mention what.  so, folks, i leave you with this tale, hoping that you have reaped something of value from it.  until next time, be safe and don't sled over ramps if you are weak in the lower back region.

the end.

so.................. dustin proposed!!!!   i'm going to marry this man, dustin andrew canfield.  yeah, you see that guy i'm with in my profile pic?  ok, yeah, he's the one   you have no clue how excited i am- no clue whatsoever.  i could try to explain it, but i just can't do it justice.  to know that there is a man that i am completely confident is the one for me and that i want to spend the rest of my life with and will love as much as God allows me to for "as long as we both shall live" is quite an amazing feeling.  i can't wait till january :D  i have more to say...buuuuuut...i'm not sure anyone even reads this at all, so i'll just leave it at this and i think everyone has heard anyway.  i just wanted to proclaim it to the world...
