"Will You Marry Me?"

"Of Course!" that's what I said after crying for a solid minute when he asked me. I was so surprised. Seriously. He did it! He managed to side swipe me with it. No hints. Nothing. I always thought I would know days before he would ask because I told myself that he will be nervous and secretive and drop silly hints. Not to mention I figured I would know the moment he said something silly like "Let's go on an air baloon ride" or something equally random and outrageous. That was until last Friday (Yes...we kept it a secret for a few days so that we could tell family in person this weekend instead of over the phone.)

It was a normal week and normal day at work. I came home and as I walked up to the door I noticed a rose attached. As I got closer I saw that there was a custom note behind it. "Have I ever told you that I will ALWAYS love you?" (I thought: How sweet a little love gesture after a long week!) That was until I opened the door and saw dozens of roses and rose petals throughout the house. White rose petals led me to the first arrow made of roses, Beneath each arrow made of roses another note...after a dosen rose arrows and vow type love notes/letters, i reached the last arrow which pointed at the bedroom door. The rose on the door held the last card that said "Because I will."

I opened the door. Brian was standing there all dressed up and spent a few minutes proffesing the reasons he loves me and wants to spend the rest of his life with me..
then he did it!!!!! Bent down on one knee, and opened the ring box. "Kailen Lee Hogan, Will You Marry Me?"

Of course I said Yes! I was so excited I reached out and tried to snatch the ring out of the box (standard for me) so he swatted my hand (standard for him) and explained that I need to be patient while he places it on my finger. Bahahahahaa. Can't tell you how suprised I was. Can't even explain how much I love him.

Let the planning commence!!!!

To us. To 6 years of perfect love. Cheers!

Took a trip to the beautiful, wonderful Sedona for our Anniversary. Celebrated 6 years of bliss with three solid days of wine tastings, hiking explorations, great shopping and breathtaking views from the balcony in our suite. Total relaxation. Just us.

Sunburn Aside....Really Loved the Cruise!

Brian and I took a cruise. It went from San Diego to Cabo then Ensenada then back to San Diego. It was 5 days! Brian ate an impressive amount of food...ordering 2 aps, 2 meals (Steak and Lobster as well as Chicken Pasta) and two or three deserts every night at dinner. Why? Because he could. The only negative for me was going without soda...I am seriously getting a soda pass next time. I almost died without it. The cruise ship was beautiful inside and out! There was a golf course, two pools, a few hot tubs...and our room was surprisingly large! Take a look...








A sunburn can seriously put a damper on the day!

Before I tell you the great parts about our cruise. Check out the sun burn!!! I had to wear clothes (head to toe) on the beach to cover up in cabo. :( CLICK ON THE FIRST ONES FOR A CLOSER LOOK!







San Diego Cali (Before the Cruise)

We took a ride around town to see the sites!

TWO love birds, ONE map and FOUR az lakes to visit in ONE day.

Brian decided to surprise me this morning with something he had planned. It took me off gaurd a bit because he doesn't do that. For those of you that know us, it comes as no surprise that I am the official event cordinator in our relationship. He is the master of V-day's, anniversaries and other special occasions but when it comes to the everyday stuff and weekend plans...I usually do the dirty work. But today was different. When we woke up he told me to put sneakers on and grab a sweater because we were leaving for the day. I was really excited until we went outside and I saw that the truck was loaded with outdoorzee stuff like his camo packpack, guns and cardboard targets. (Not exactly my idea of a romatic set of goods, ya know?)

Once my eyes caught the shovel laying in the back of the truck, I looked at him and asked if he was planning to kill me. He assured me it was a necessary safety precaution for any road trip to an unexplored area and we hit the road.

To make a (could be excrusiatingly long) story short, we enjoyed a 5 hour road trip together. Visiting multiple lakes allong the way, we ran into a cactus mountain, a full blown rainbow and even a few waterfalls. It was seriously amazing and we both found it to be really relaxing. And, just when I though it couldn't get any better-he took me to Cafe Rio for dinner!

Take a look at some of the pics I took today!
