This whole wedding this is gonna be a dream untill the day of the wedding! I cant wait to start my new life with Chad. He is such a wonderful person, friend, and fiance, and I know he will be a fantastic husband, and later down the road a dad. I am so grateful for his love and friendship. I know he will always be by my side supporting me every step of the way.

Oh and by the way we do have a change of plans, we are not going to Washington, But we are still leaving Arizona. We are going to Colorado. Chad and I have talked it over, and my mom and dad have given us some advice and counsel about washington. So thats what we have decided. We wil miss you all but we wont be to far way compared to living in Washington.

Hiccups

Just Remember I Love you!

He is so Handsome

I love my best friend so much!

Isnt he a stud!

Before I tell you what happened let me tell you what I have been through since Iv'e dated Chad Carton....

Our first Halloween together we decided to carve a Mickey Mouse pumpkin. Chads really artistic so we thought...aw what they heck lets give it a try and see what it looks like. So I let Chad cut the top out while I held it still for him...BAD IDEA....let me descridbe how he was craving it....it was like it a in and out motion, so he would stab the pumpkin then take it out and insert it back in ( I hope this is making since) Remember I was holding the pumpkin...well Chad kind mistaken the pumpkin for my fingure....Yes he stabed me only like a month into out relationship. Great way to say this is how I care about you! LOL I give myself credit cause I didnt cry! It hurt but I didnt cry, go me! So I told him, I think we should take a brake from this whole craving craft. He felt so horrible. So we just poped in a movie and untill I recoved and was ready to go back to carving our pumpkin. Yes I still have little scars from it....it makes me laugh now a days.

Next, I dont even remember when this was, it might have been 2 winters ago but anyways. I was laying on his couch and he was teasing me that he was going to drop his snowboard on me. Well then it accually slipped out of his hands and smacked my forehead. I had this HUGE goose egg after. His mom couldnt believe it, she made some kind of comment like havent you done enough yet...You think I would have had enough right?...

Since that last accident thigs had been going pretty good...untill last week Saturday ( So a week ago, the night of my bridal shower) To me, it doesnt get better then this...painful but funny all at the same time. So this is what happened...ready?

Early saturday evening Chad and I went over to my brother and sister in laws apartment to hang out with them. We were all hungery so we went to a great resturant called Abuelos (Grandpa in spanish) Its so good! Anyways after that we went to Chandler mall since it was just on the other side of the street. So we walked through Sears to get into the mall. Well there was a bathroom right outside of sears as you enter into the mall and my brotehr had to use the little boys room so Becky, Chad and I we just looking around in Sears while we waited for him. While we were looking I got the case of hiccups. (It seems that every time I get them chad way to get rid of them is to scare them out of me) well while Becky was off looking at towels Chad and I went looking at bed stuff ( we were bored) What I didnt expect was for chad to scare me. Well I was walking behinde Chad when out of no where chad grabed a bundle of sheets and tried to scare me with them. What Cha didnt realize was how close I was behinde him because when he went to swing his arms around to scare me his first came in contact with my nose....thats right he punched me in the face...(on total accident) He swung so hard I thought he broke my nose. I started bawling, it hurt so bad! He quickly imbraced me and kept repeating himself that he was so sorry. He felt horrible. I was so startled I could barely breath. It was so scary. BUT the thing that makes this story so darn funny is that... He Got My Hiccups To Go Away! (Thats what I ment by it was painful but funny all at the same time.)

Hopefully thats the end of my painful stories, cause I dont know how much I can handle! LOL I still love him even though he might cause pain, cause he always makes up for it with his love! I love you Chad!

Count Down

There are only...46 Days left till I become Mrs Ashley Ty Carton. I am so excited! I can't wait to marry my best friend in the whole world. He makes me so happy and I so glad he picked me! I am such a lucky girl. I just wish it would come faster, but I am learning to be patient among all this though.

But there is one thing that is literally right around the corner, My Bridal Shower! Its on Saturday! Only 5 day left. I can hardly wait, its like christmas all for me! Yeah! I am so grateful to my sister, sister-in-laws, mom and Chad's Mom, and Aunts for making this all come true! You guys are truly amazing! Love you! Cant wait till Saturday :)

Playing a Joke

So my sister, her kids and my mom met Chad and I at Hobby Lobby today to get some ideas for the reception. And once we were done looking we waited in line at the register to check out. Well while we standing there Logan spotted some silly string and asked mommy if him and Janae could have some since Chad had previously let them play with some that they got from the $1 Tree. Sheena gave in, and we took it home. When we got home Adam, Sheena's husband, was waiting outside for her. After being home for a little Sheena asked the kids to come out front and told Adam to close his eyes and come outside....(What Adam didn't know is that Sheena and the kids were gonna play a little joke on Daddy.) As soon as he came outside the kids and her covered him with silly string and this was the result...

Happy Birthday Lindsey!

Last Monday was my sister in law had her birthday. And this last Sunday we got my family together to celebrate her birthday. I was so much fun. We grilled burgers, had cake and ice cream and played games together. It was nice to have everyone together spending time as a family. I love my Family! Lindsey, hope you had a great birthday!

Singing to Lindsey

Lindsey's cake that Trevor and Becky made

Enjoying our cake and ice cream and janae is showing off so nicely

Playing games, like the wii. Logan totally loved playing it even though is was kind of hard to do. But with the help of Uncle Trevor it wasnt as hard.

Lindsey opened her presents, we got her two cute shirts, 2 pairs of earings, a scarf, and a cute pair of sandels

See isn't that cute!
