Tis the season!!!

Wow there is so much to talk about... I haven't posted in such a long time! So long in fact that I was single when I posted last and now I am ENGAGED!!! yup you heard right as of December 23, 2009 I got engaged to Shawn Gregory Orton! He actually asked me on November 27th but swore my family and I to secrecy until he put a ring on my finger... It finally happened and I love the ring he chose for me!

Then during Christmas Eve Shawn got to have his daughter Madison over so that she could open her presents! Her and her dad had a fun time and they even came in to vist me at work! I found out that Madison missed me and that she missed Harvy (our dog) alot more that her dad! kids are so silly. Madison loved her polly pockets and Shawn said that she really loved the polly pocket bag that I bought for her!

Then Christmas day came and I had to work until 4 at Dennys which was a real bummer, but i guess it wasn't too bad. I was kinda sad to go home because i wasn't going to be able to spend time with Shawn on Christmas but i was VERY excited to go home and see my family! We were opening our gifts and Shawn showed up at my house!!! What a surprise! I was so happy to see him and it was great to spend the holidays with him by my side!


The next day Shawn decided to take me ice fishing for my very first time! It was awesome!


We got to Otter Creek and loaded all of the stuff up and walked out on the lake. Shawn went to drill the hole with the ice ogger (i have no idea how to spell that) and the stupid thing didn't work... luckily there were others on the lake so we just borrowed one. We got all set up and it was pretty slow to start out. I even started to fall asleep when all the sudden my pole jerked and I caught the first fish of the day! I was super excited!


After that I was wide awake and couldn't wait to catch another fish! I went to someones abandoned hole and told Shawn that I was going to catch a fish fromt that hole! after a little bit of a wait I caught another!


Soon after my second catch it started to get pretty cold so we pack up with Shawn empty handed and left. We decided to stop at Piute Lake to see if we would have any luck there. We got on a pretty snowy trail and decided we better not go any further... it was too late to decide this cuz we were already stuck! We tried to get out for about an hour and by then it was dark outside! So we decided to dress as warm as possible and start walking to the main rode to get help and hope we would get a signal on Shawn's nearly dead phone along the way. We found a signal about half way through our walk. We got a hold of my mom and tried to tell here where we were, but the phone died! We continued to walk and freeze! We finally got to the main road and I am pretty sure it was 5 mile until we got to that road. We waved down the first car and they help us get the car unstuck! When they picked us up we found out that we had been walking in 3 degree weather so we are lucky that they picked us up other wise we would have froze. We got unstuck and got a hold of my mom to let her know we were safe! It was a crazy day but it was still a blast and I am glad that I got to spend time with my future hubby and my family!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and that you all have a wonderful New Year!!!!
