The Love of My Life

I was asked to see more pictures so here they are! (I even included pictures from our engagement shoot) Our good friend Tina did both of these for us and I loved how they turned out :)

We got married on December 5th of 2009. I'm gonna include how we met even though it is kinda a long story. When I was about 14 years old I knew who Trey was and had thee biggest crush on him ever, because I had a friend whose older brother hung out with him..but I thought there was no way in hell he would ever talk to me, I mean come on I was just a baby then. When I turned 15 I started going to shows all the time. One day I was feeling really down because the boy that I liked at the time started dating a new girl and so my two best-friends were like we need to get you out of the house. We all ended up going to a show and I couldn't even bring myself to get ready so I wore a stupid t-shirt that didn't match anything else that I had on. When I got there I saw Trey and I was just stunned by how good looking he was. I was sitting down on a bench outside and he walked up and sat down next to me. He started making small talk with me but I was so nervous I was actually tongue tied for once. Eventually we ended our conversation and he said he would see me later but I left as quick as I could because I was so scared of him. A week or so went by and I got up the courage to add him on myspace (so lame I know) and we started messaging each other a lot and he told me that he had been thinking about that night and that he had wished he would have gotten my number. Only at the time, for some reason I didn't have a cell phone. I didn't even want one so when I told him that, he thought I was totally not interested and lying because what 15 year old doesn't have a cell phone. About another week went by and my my girl friend Taylor asked me if I would go on a double date with her and a guy she had only been talking to for a little bit. I was totally not interested because I had this fear that a blind date would always end tragically and I would have the worst night ever. She finally begged me for so long that I said yes. The day of the date came around and I walked outside of her house and when I turned the corner I saw Trey get out of the car!!! Of all people I wasn't expecting it to be him. Neither one of us had any idea that our friends were talking. That night we went to get Hawaiian ice and walk along the river and I spent the night with him later ;) (I was so bad.) From then on we literally hung out everyday after. We definitely had our ups and downs and we suffered through many 3 day breakups but now we have both grown up so much and we are so close. He is my best-friend ever and I honestly don't know what I would do without him. I love you Douglas Russell. I can't wait to start a family with you.












AH!

My weekend was such a good one! I have such a busy schedule this week though my head is spinning. And right now I want an ice chai soooo bad :( Friday night I went out with some high school friends, Alison, Taylor, & Kyle. It was so much fun and Kyle now has the nicest house ever where we had some drinks and played with sparklers until we went out for some much needed partying together. Saturday Trey and I went to see the roller derby team that I want(ed) to be on. It was incredible to see them skating in real life. It is such an action packed tough sport. And while there the team captain and I got to talking and I told her that I had always wanted to try and she told me she would love to have me come to the tryout the next day! My stomach was instantly freaking out but I was so excited!



Sunday I hung out with my mom and sister. We shopped all day and I got some cute dresses. Then at 6:30 I went to my first Roller derby practice with the Black and Blue girls. I had so much fun, it was a crazy workout and I was so proud of myself for going all alone and not even chickening out. I had so much fun and I already met some new interesting girls. I think that I am going to love the sport. (I actually already do!) And incase you're wondering what the picture is above...well it is my first official roller derby bruise/knot in my knee! I was cracking myself up that I was actually excited over it.

How was everyones weekend?
& I had a request for some more of our wedding pictures so I will be making my next post all about the wedding :)

Thank you God for the weekend

I finally got the haircut that I have been dying for, for about year now. I wanted to shave the right hand side of my head. I didn't buzz it because of work but I shaved a lot of it off...AND I LOVE IT! I'm so happy that it is the weekend. It was much needed and I wanted to see my boy real bad. Tonight we are going to party at my dear friend Kyle's for his birthday. I am so excited, I'll be celebrating with some woodchucks ;) Tomorrow night I am going to roller derby!!! Yes how fun will that be and then Sunday me and my mother are going to the flea market and then to take my little sister back to school shopping.






I haven't taken these boots off lately. And I'm loving all of the things I've bought so far with the money from my garage sale. I got this skirt yesterday at Urban Outfitters and I got some great jeans yesterday as well that I can't wait to wear.
I hope that everyone has a good weekend.
Yours truly,
Kate :)

A Trillion Dollars

Lately I have been feeling like a million dollars. I started a new diet yesterday and actually worked out for A WHOLE HOUR! I was so proud of myself. I've been working a lot lately and I'm getting much better at my job. I went to the doctor for check ups and everything! Today Trey and I went up on our roof for a bit before he had to leave for work. I miss him so much our schedules have been pretty crazy lately I'm working from 10-2 and I work a half hour from home and he's working from 4 to 2am so we literally only get an hour together a day, monday through thursday.


Trey also took these silly pictures of me in our comfy bed as he was walking out the door. Good grief I love him.


You can finally see my honey pot I got tattooed on my leg a few weeks ago!
Don't forget to comment for my giveaway : )
I'm ready for the weekend. I have a lot of house work to get done that I keep putting off so I'm gonna go start on it and maybe later on paint my nails and watch Little Children.

Weekend Away from Home

Friday I went shopping and I got these great boots from Forever 21!! I am so excited because I've been wanting some like this for so long. I splurged and got another pair on saturday too. Friday night Trey took me out to dinner, it was really nice. Then we spent the weekend at Treys parents house while they were in mexico. We rented a movie and played board games with his brother and brothers friends. Saturday I went thrifting with Trey and we found a lot of good finds. I felt very productive this weekend because today I had a garage sale at my house with my friends Chandler and Becki. I made a pretty good amount of money. I'm ready to buy some new ones!!


Trey took these photos when we went thrifting. I got this shirt at a thrift store for 75cents! It fit like a glove. I'm not at all ready for the weekend to be over. I have to work bight and early tomorrow morning. Trey and I are in the middle of praying for Trey to get hired on at work. He would be making enough money that I wouldn't have to work and I could just keep the house clean and make dinner! Sounds sooo good to me.

How was everyones weekend? :)

I love Surprises

Trey planned a date for me on friday night because we were thinking about it and it has been a really long time since we've surprised each-other with a really nice date. So because I love him so much tonight I made him dinner and peanut butter, banana cookies and a strawberry banana smoothie. I lit candles and set it all up on this little table on the balcony off of our bedroom. I can't wait for him to get home and see it!





I love the dress that I'm wearing in these photos its from h&m and it was only $5! I couldn't believe my eyes.
My sister has been staying with me the past few days and it is so great to have her around, she is also my bravest friend due to the fact that she always lets me cut her hair! I did yesterday and it looks great.

Tomorrow I'm going to stay at my moms house and then we are devoting our friday morning to going shopping :) Can't wait. And then Treys special date night for me is friday and who knows where the rest of the weekend will take me!

Absent

I have been really busy and feeling really happy.
I had an awful week and my computer isn't working right now but I'm taking it into Apple tomorrow to get looked at.
But I feel really really good.
This week is just about spending some much needed with this boy.
I love you Trey.

Every Thought A Thought of You

Heres a little peek at what my weekend was like! Friday and Saturday all these great boys stayed at my house. We had a great weekend. And then Sunday I went to see Mewithoutyou in Louisville Kentucky with my best-friend Becki Young. We stopped at the cutest dinner ever and ate. I got fried green tomatoes! (probably the best thing I've ever had)

Mewithoutyou was one of the best experiences in my lifetime. I loved it.
