Bridal Shower Time! :)

Saturday February 16th I was spoiled :)

I was so blessed to have so many family and friends show up to celebrate with me! We played a crossword about Michael and I, we had a purse raid, we made wedding dresses out of toilet paper, we opened gifts and then... Everyone's favorite part in pretty sure, I was tested on my knowledge of Michael and each time I failed I had to put another piece of bubblegum in my mouth. Random fact: brooke has a very small mouth. Needless to say I was literally gagging at one point I had so much in my mouth. Watching Michael reveal the answers on the tv was so much fun, I was so glad all the girls got to see the hilarious man I'm marrying :) he's quite the character! Here's a few pics from the day, thanks for all the love and support girls! 

The New Fort

After searching all over town for a place to live Michael and I were blessed with this little home. My dad's friend had this little guest house on their property and told my dad about it. Thank goodness he did, we got such an awesome deal and its little but we love it! Can't wait to start my life with Michael in our cozy little home :)

The Best Scavenger Hunt Ever!

My day started at my favorite little boy's dinosaur birthday bash! Afterwards I was planning on meeting one of my best friends from high school for dinner at PF Changs. However I soon found out I would be going everywhere downtown but inside that restaurant. Emily and I showed up at PF Changs and to my surprise we were greeted by Michael's best friend Austin & his wifey Hannah. Their message for me was that my reservations had been cancelled and I was to go to the place that my brother skates. Besides the fact that it took me a moment to figure out why they were there in the first place and how they knew about my reservation with Emily, I very quickly realized what was going on and immediately grabbed onto Emily, I was in shock. I really didnt know what to do I was so excited but also super nervous! A bunch of our friends gave me clues after clues sending me on a scavneger hunt that ended at the capital building, where I was surrounded by a bunch of our family and friends & in the middle was Michael :) As you probably guessed he popped the question! I could barely get out the words yes because I was so excited so he asked me once more are you sure? & Now that I can reflect on this moment and have the ability to speak clearly... I could not be more sure I'm so excited to be Mikey's wifey!! Let the Wedding Planning Begin 

& It all begins

I decided I need to be like all you other married people and start a blog of this new journey I'm about to undertake. So here goes nothing. I apologize in advance for any spelling errors, sappy posts about how much I love my soon to be husband, and all my posts that may not be very exciting to you. It's my life, I hope you enjoy it & if you dont... well at least I helped you find a way to waste away a couple minutes of your day :) 

I guess I will start by catching you all up:

I'M GETTING MARRIED <3 

i know its crazy... im still taking it all in

MY VICTIM: michael brent mcbride

& Let Me Tell You, I Scored Big Time! 

Although I'm a tad embarrassed to reveal where I met this fine lad, our journey began around thanksgiving in the year 2011. We had mutual friends who convinced us both as well as about ten others to have a night out of bowling and then... drumroll please... MERRITTS. For those of you who are fortunate enough to not know what or where Merritts is I provided a picture of this hole in the wall country cafe down below. They are famous for scones. Have I ever had one of these scones you ask? Yes im guilty. They are good I guess, if you can get around the fact they are covered in a pound of butter and sugar and are definitely no where near good for you, then yes they're good. Since Michael was too cool to meet us for bowling, this lovely-famous-scone-hole-in-the-wall-country-cafe is where I met my husband for the first time. 

& you thought I was kidding.

After about four months I accidentally added Michael on Facebook. Yes accidentally is the key word here. I really wasn't interested in him and thought he was still dating someone else. Which is why I was surprised to see a friend request from him or so I thought. Facebook had this new way of tricking you by putting people you may know under your friend requests. And so after "accepting" like ten different peoples friend requests I realized that I truly was not this popular and I was actually requesting to be all these wonderful peoples friends. 

Well thank you facebook because for the next week michael would not leave me alone. I got a facebook IM everytime I logged on from him and apparently I didn't get on facebook enough so he then started requesting to play me at a game called words with friends. After many games of words with friends (that I may or may not have cheated on), and then another game we decided to play called draw something he finally got the guts to call me. We talked on the phone for about two hours give or take. That was the first time I found out that michael was a chatterbox. Within about a half hour I had been told his whole life story and much much more. & I guess I liked it cause I then agreed to hangout with him.

Our first date consisted of dutch bros, mario cart & yeah more mario cart. 

So between greasy scones, social networking, & mario cart I discovered my husband.
