CHILI'S!

We got the keys to our apartment today! We only moved a few boxes but it's already starting to look like home. After an hour or so of organizing part of our stuff, we decided to celebrate. Of course, for us, we found our new Chili's restaurant.

 

Deliciousness!

 We aren't sure if it is because this Chili's is new but it was delicious. It was probably the best Chili's meal we have ever had. The best part is we live 12 minutes from it. :)

 

I will put pictures of our new place on here once we have furniture and some things to make it look like someone lives there.

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!



Gillespie Holidays

Well the Gillespies have celebrated Christmas a few days early and while I was downloading the pictures off my camera I saw Thanksgiving and so I decided to combine them both into a blog. Christmas this year was at Matt & Erin's and was a lot of fun!

I caught him off guard. haha

 Thanksgiving was at my parents house and grandma and grandpa Haupert and Neil joined us this. Family times are always the most fun.

The dogs know who to go to for food.

Caught him helpin in the kitchen.

Aww they are buddies

Makes me laugh every time.

Our Engagment

So many people that will read this may already seen these pictures, but I thought I'd share some engagement photos. Here is a photo from the night we got engaged.

Yay! So the story of how he proposed is actually funny, which fits us. He came over on April 2, 2012. We had previously said that we were going to celebrate Easter early, I just didn't know we were going to that night until he came over. I had a night class on Monday's so he surprised me by coming over after my class. I was in a terrible mood because I hated my professor and she had really made me mad that night. Anyway, he said something like "I have something that will cheer you up" and told me that he brought my Easter present. It was an Easter basket with candy and chocolate so I immediately started looking through it. Inside toward the bottom was a key that I had given him in high school, it was supposedly "the key to my heart" (so corny right?!). I actually handed it to him and said "I think you dropped this in here". I heard what he said afterward but didn't process it. He had said, "I was going to ask for your whole heart tonight". Me, not paying attention said "Oh no you can keep it". Well I meant the key and now realize how oblivious I was. After that was when 

he stood up and took the ring box out of his pocket. All I remember after that was me saying "Are you serious" and him asking me to marry him. I actually had to ask afterword if I said yes. Haha I still laugh about it because I was way too focused on my candy at first.  Well this is my beautiful ring! I love it!!!!! It is so perfect for me.

The band is so gorgeous with it too...only 10 days till I get to wear it!!

 

 

 

Now fast forward 8 months and we are only 10 days from the wedding. I think everything is done or planned, if not we will figure it out as we go. I am doing my best to not worry about every detail because the memorable stuff is always the unplanned, went wrong things. Now for some engagement photos! I absolutely LOVE our photographer. She is very nice and it wasn't awkward for a moment. Even Curt said he was glad I chose her (Never thought that would happen). Taking engagement photos is not his thing, probably most men are like that. Afterwards he actually admitted that he had fun taking pictures. 

All of our pictures were taken at Curt's parents land in Brook, IN.

Her ideas are amazing.

Probably my favorite :)

This one is a favorite to most. It definitely suits us. P.s. bringing the guitar was his idea.

Now that you have seen some of her photos, her name is Samantha Mitchell. She lives in Rensselaer,IN and will travel anywhere. Her price doesn't even go up for the travel, yet. I assume if she gets more popular she will have to charge. Her website is http://www.samanthamitchellphoto.com/. Like I said, she is amazing and you won't regret one penny!

GRADUATION!!

Today was my college graduation. I am so happy to be done with school forever. No more studying for exams, having terrible group members, or walking to class on ice covered sidewalks. I can now own an umbrella and not have it break (hopefully).

The wonderful fiance and I graduated today!

My brother, Matt, and his wife, Erin.

Freshman year roomie, Carly Cecil. Love her!

My dad bought me a dozen yellow roses! Love them.

My happy parents. They no longer have to pay for tuition.

CHIRP CHIRP!!

  

Well now that graduation is over I can move on to bigger things. 

Next stop: House/Apartment hunting

The Beginning

So I finally decided to take the blogging plunge. I have thought of doing this for a few months and thought why not. I'm not a Pogue for 15 more days but its close enough right? This way you get all the juicy wedding details. 

This is Curt and I, the almost Mr. & Mrs. Pogue and this blog will tell the story of our life together.
