Now, my cousins are almost 16 and the other is a freshman in college... but this was 5 years ago... so they were about 11 and 14 ha! My 11 year old cousin was setting me up on a date - oh boy! I told her, well he can be the one to ask :)<br /><br />So, back to Memorial Day weekend 2005... I had a bad day, I had to go to work EARLY to stock shelves (I only worked at that place for 2 weeks ha) so, going to work at 4am and getting done around noon was very tiring. My family made it a tradition of sorts to go to the lake and camp on Memorial Day weekend - for as long as I can remember... not so much anymore though. The last time we did this tradition was this specific weekend (2005)! I go to the campsite - tired and GRUMPY... and my mom said (with a smirk) "well, Aunt Cheryl said she invited Derik to camp this weekend" (haha) I said "Oooookkk?" she said, "well - what do you think?" and these were my exact words "Mom, whatever will be, will be" - little did I know :)<br /><br />We saw each other every night after that weekend except one. He called me that night and said, "I wanted to know if I could take you out on a date tomorrow?" ummm YES! I still remember our first date. Awkward ha! We went to a restaurant and ate dinner, then we came to my parents house and watched a movie. He went to Texas Tech while I lived in Belton at my college (University of Mary Hardin-Baylor). We continued our relationship through the 6 hour drives and flights. And, the rest is history :)<br /><br />We met ON Memorial Day weekend 2005<br />He proposed ON Memorial Day weekend 2008 - May 24, 2008<br />We were married ON Memorial Day weekend 2009 - May 23, 2009 :)<br /><br />When we planned the wedding, that was not the specific reason why we picked Memorial Day weekend... but, once I figured that all 3 of these major events were (and were going to be) on Memorial Day - I knew it would be a perfect weekend to Marry my love :)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/185/02757F82AE12F5EA384983B8A894B161.png" style="border: 0pt none ! important; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;" /></a>Brittneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11013790814367836077noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6285731911415494470.post-54537396174997944122010-04-19T20:21:00.002-05:002010-04-19T20:23:08.500-05:00NEW BLOGSITE!<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);font-size:130%;" ><a href="http://www.brittneymelton.com/">www.brittneymelton.com</a></span><br /><br />come check it out - this will eventually be my new home...

YUM sour gummy candy - my fav :) really!<br /><br />He actually <span style="font-style: italic;">made my day</span> because it didn't start out that great, I've been really emotional about everything lately!!! No good! So it was a welcome surprise. And you bet I ate those little heart candies... I let Derik have the others, because, I'm not a glutton or anything.<br /><br /><center><a href="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/02/15/1010.jpg"><img src="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/02/15/s_1010.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" border="0" height="446" width="310" /></a></center><br />Then... While I finished up work... I started looking at puppies :) we really want a puppy, but right now Derik doesn't really want to pay for one :/ boo! So we're waiting until my Aunt and Uncle's dog has puppies. She said they'll give us one for free! YAY! :) They're little Shih Tzu's and that's what Derik grew up with, he loves them :) Look at what our future puppy <span style="font-style: italic;">could</span> look like:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTd235GjNwU55BCudTup2MUkt7I8bIRxbm4-iREcFoQlSkRRvwtJWJYPgfBPr4VrCuvKK2dYK-wm13pGKt3hU6ctS7XQ29kV1hTp3x1y_8hPusTk2TKJVqmEdYePpPW3GunyDZ8XLSHec/s1600-h/shihtzu_brown.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 361px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTd235GjNwU55BCudTup2MUkt7I8bIRxbm4-iREcFoQlSkRRvwtJWJYPgfBPr4VrCuvKK2dYK-wm13pGKt3hU6ctS7XQ29kV1hTp3x1y_8hPusTk2TKJVqmEdYePpPW3GunyDZ8XLSHec/s400/shihtzu_brown.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438645882290379922" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;">photo found: <a href="http://puppydogweb.com/">http://puppydogweb.com/</a></span><br /><br />BUT these are the ones I found online on <a href="http://www.austinpetsalive.org/">Austin Pet's Alive</a> (GREAT organization!)<br /><br />These aren't free...

Not possible!<br />The <a href="http://www.austinpetsalive.org/">Austin Pets Alive</a> site shows you where certain puppies will be if you want to adopt the next day... and there were 4 available Friday... Saturday night, 2 were gone... I said <span style="font-style: italic;">"Derik, you let 2 of those puppies get away!"</span> hahaha!<br /><br />oh - and - I JUST looked, and now they're all gone!!! <span style="font-style: italic;">"Derik, you let all 4 get away!"</span> :) haha!<br /><br />**<br />VDAY! (presents)<br /><br />I came home that night to a candle lit living room and these on the coffee table :)<br /><br /><center><a href="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/02/15/1013.jpg"><img src="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/02/15/s_1013.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" border="0" height="446" width="310" /></a></center><span style="font-size:85%;"><br />This picture was taken after the fact...</span><br /><br />Derik chose these flowers because he recognized the <span style="font-style: italic;">"green flowers"</span> from our wedding :) <span style="font-weight: bold;">LOVE</span> him! I then told him they were green hydrangeas if he wanted to know the real name :)<br /><br />Regardless I LOVE them!!! :)<br /><br />We then watched the 2010 Olympics opening ceremony - AWESOME!<br /><br />**<br />VDAY! (dinner)<br /><br />Saturday he planned a surprise dinner. That in itself is a feat for him... not that he can't plan things, but he can't keep things a SURPRISE! He's like a little kid and wants to tell me, or wants me to guess... He even drove down a street and did some loops to confuse me - hahaha! He siad <span style="font-style: italic;">"haha tricked you!"</span> then we passed a Boston Market and he <span style="font-style: italic;">"pretend"</span> pulled in and said, <span style="font-style: italic;">"this is where we're going!"</span> This I did not believe, because he chose my outift and had me dress up, I don't think you get dressed up for Boston Market... haha! :)<br /><br />I had an inkling of a fact only because every time he talks about wanting to go to somewhere nice - it's always <a href="http://trulucks.com/">Truluck's</a> :) but hey, I'm not one to complain!<br /><br />We didn't realize we needed a reservation - duh! what were we thinking :) So, we waited in the lounge and got a table within 10 mins!!! If we had put our name on the list for the main room, it was 1 hour 45 min wait! <span style="font-weight: bold;">GO US!</span><br /><br />It was an eventful dinner... I ordered something that I thought was something else... it was Shrimp Cocktail, but I thought it was more like Fish Daddy's Shrimp cocktail - if you've been there then you know... BUT it was just the REGULAR shrimp cocktail... Which, I know what that is, just not what I was expecting... Derik says <span style="font-style: italic;">"you know each of these shrimp is like $3"</span> (the appetizer was $15...) this made me sad, he should not have said that... (remember, VERY emotional this past week) and I was kind of in a bad mood cause I thought he was mad at me... he wasn't, he just wanted dessert over appetizers... I told him that when he takes me out, he should just make the decisions so I don't mess anything up... I don't eat <span style="font-style: italic;">fancy</span> a lot :) haha!<br /><br />I also told him we need to discuss our <span style="font-style: italic;">"plan of action"</span> before we order... then we know what each other is thinking...<br /><br />Lesson learned :)<br /><br />We then went home and watched the Olympics :)<br /><br />TODAY - I had <del>made</del> Derik come do a Gold's Gym Body Pump Class with me... (it's weight-lifting to music) I think he thought he'd do good... but all day long he's been complaining of his back... I don't blame him, my back hurts too. BUT - now he can't get mad at me for not working out - that class is HARD! Now he sees what I do! He was proud :)<br /><br />Lesson learned :)<br /><br />haha<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/185/02757F82AE12F5EA384983B8A894B161.png" style="border: 0pt none ! important; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;" /></a></div>Brittneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11013790814367836077noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6285731911415494470.post-6258944255733736292010-02-11T16:13:00.002-06:002010-02-11T16:37:07.780-06:00I don't know what it is...... but I have not been having a superb week... I have been in a FUNK!<br /><br />I hate throwing pity parties, but that's what I've done almost all week long... I don't know what to do about it, but it is DRIVING me nuts!<br /><br />I just am trying to get my thoughts in writing (typing) in hopes that it makes sense. Maybe someday I will look back at this and realize how far I've come...<br /><br />It has been a week of up and downs for sure... crying - lots of it... the kind that leave you with a lump in your throat and if you don't just let it all out... it hurts! So, I let it all out... each day... and I probably will again today.<br /><br />Mostly I'm afraid of failing. That I'm not "good enough" if there is such a standard made. A lot of where my headache/heartache is coming from is my photography business.<br /><br />I SO want this to be something that can finally be my full-time job... someday... probably not anytime soon. I've been trying to figure this whole "bid-ness" thing out :) What are these steps? What am I supposed to do next?<br /><br />I feel lost... so, how do I know what's next?<br /><br />As <a href="http://www.jasminestarblog.com">Jasmine Star</a> said... "<i>It's just that I feel lost and I don't know how to connect the dots"<br /><br /></i><span style="font-weight: bold;">EXACTLY, Jasmine!</span><i><span style="font-weight: bold;"> EXACTLY!</span><br /></i><br />It's all so scary and freeing. The unknown.<br />Stressful really.<br /><br />I wish I had the words to describe what I'm feeling/thinking at any given moment right now but, I don't...<br /><br />I've taken an excerpt from <a href="http://www.jasminestarblog.com/index.cfm?postID=768&the-value-of-soap-operas">Jasmine Star's site</a>... someone I admire and look up to because of her heart and her business... I love her... and when I feel down or feel like I'm about to fail... I hope I remember to come back and read this!<br /><br /><blockquote><span style="font-weight: bold;">"The Value of Soap Operas:</span><br /><div class="dropcap">Yesterday I sat at my desk and spoke into the phone while [her husband] sat on the floor typing away at his computer. That's when it happened. The quiver in my voice, the sting in my eyes. My nose turns red right before I'm going to cry, it's a dead giveaway. There I sat like Rudolph the Reindeer and tried to keep my ish together. I thanked the guy on the other end of the phone for his time and hung up.<br /></div><br />I leaned my head back on my chair and fought the tears. I was fine until [her husband] reached up from the floor and touched my hand. Much like touching a full sponge, I leaked. As the tears fell, he promised everything was going to be okay. Not like all dramatic and soap opera-ish (cue the soft lights, the stringed music and please throw in a line that starts with <i>By God I shall never leave you...</i>). It was more like we've been here before. <br /><br /><i>It's just that I feel lost and I don't know how to connect the dots,</i> I said.<br /><br />...for the first time in a long time, I feel like my world is rocked. Strangely enough, this is how I started my photography business. And I'm feeling quite the same way. Lost, frustrated, worried, overwhelmed. I'm posting this blog entry because I want to remember. Remember the emotion that comes with risk and being on the cusp of success. Or failure. Oh that blurry line I so strongly detest.<br /><br />I know there might be a few others who know how I'm feeling right now. Oh, Internet, I get you. I tangibly know the feelings of frustration and worry ... but I also know the emotion that accompanies risk: joy, excitement, and fear. I hope this post makes you feel less alone. Or, really, makes <b>me</b> feel less alone. Because if I was totally being honest, all I really want is for a random blog reader to find me in the street today and say <i>By God I shall never leave you...</i><br /><br />I kid, Internet, I kid"</blockquote><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/185/02757F82AE12F5EA384983B8A894B161.png" style="border: 0pt none ! important; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;" /></a></div>Brittneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11013790814367836077noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6285731911415494470.post-77068960305354484472010-02-04T21:24:00.004-06:002010-02-06T18:50:07.395-06:00Temporary Home...<div style="text-align: center;">I absolutely love this song...

WHY!?<br /><br />I am not doing WW for MAJOR weight loss - I want to hopefully (*hopefully*) loose 10-15 lbs. That would make me very happy :) but 10 would be just fine... mostly just want to gain muscle and tone...<br /><br />I visited the doctor for my yearly check up in August - and he said for my next appt (um hello, 8 months) he wants to see me with more lean muscle. Since becoming a newlywed I have probably gained a good 5-10 lbs. but I've lost 5 or so here and there.<br /><br />I started WW and did it for like 1-2 months this time last year... it definitely helped, I probably lost 5 lbs. within the first month... BUT (big BUT) I need to incorporate working out like I did last year... I've been going to the chiropractor a lot these last couple of weeks and those days - I just don't feel like working out - know what I mean?<br /><br />Will you be there to encourage me? I'm not starting out so hot on the working out part...<br /><br />But no excuses - including yummy thin mints from cute little girls...<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/185/02757F82AE12F5EA384983B8A894B161.png" style="border: 0pt none ! important; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;" /></a>Brittneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11013790814367836077noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6285731911415494470.post-81363826018184275162010-01-16T12:15:00.001-06:002010-01-16T12:15:00.284-06:00...More Than You Could Ever Possibly Want To Know About MeI saw this over on another <a href="http://jenthenewlywed.blogspot.com/2010/01/more-than-you-could-ever-possibly-want.html">blog</a> and thought it'd be fun - thanks Jen! :)<br /><br />1.
