WEEKEND TRiP TO FLAGSTAFF :]

Timmy and I had SUCH a great time in Flagstaff this weekend!

Here are some pics...

HAVE YOU HEARD THE RUMORS...

Meet the man in my life, Timmy James Nystrom. Isn't he just handsome? :]

just a little about him...

-he is 24 yrs old
-he's a real estate agent working for a company called Keller Williams
-he LOVES bowties!
-he has type 1 diabetes
-he is the only man i know who will admit he likes Zac Efron
-he drives a beautiful mustang named Carroll
-he does custom paint work on cars
-he is the only man that can make me laugh more than my brother Brian
-he knows how to play more instruments than i can name
-he spends more time worrying about his hair than i do about mine!
-he's a wonderful painter
-he has the most beautiful blue eyes in the whole wide world!
-he was adopted
-he knows how to cook better than me (doesn't say much though)
-he might be the only man i will ever meet that enjoys shopping just as much as i do!
-he's working on writing his own novel
-his idol is Frank Sinatra
-OH! and he loves me :]

That's him in a nutshell. He's mine, and he's wonderful. He treats me better than I could have ever imagined. As I've grown up over the past few years and dated my fair share of men, I always ask myself if the guy I am dating is anything like my Grandpa Coggins. If the answer is no, I won't waste my time. Since I was a little girl, I knew I wanted to end up with someone JUST like Grandpa. Someone who will treat me the same way, with the same respect and love, that my Grandpa treated my Grandma.

Well, Louie, there's no doubt in my mind that you would be proud of this one :]

God's precious little gift...

My best friend Michelle had her 2nd baby boy on Sep 16th. She named him Braydon Parker Puckett :]

I can't help but share this picture she sent me today! It doesn't get more precious than this.


Brothers Brody and Braydon

MiLES DAViS... our puppy :]

I'd like you all to meet Miles Davis... the cutest puppy around! We had a great weekend with him! He thinks he's a little person and it cracks me up! We couldn't love him more :] Tell me those little puppy dog eyes of his don't just melt your heart! I can't wait til winter time so we can put him in all his wittle puppy sweaters! He's so spoiled!

Blogging... I'm clearly new to this...

So I'm new to this whole blogging thing. Not quite sure how it works yet, but it seems cool. Guess you could say I'm technilogically challenged.

I will take a min to let everyone know what I've been up to lately. I am 22 now and counting. Pretty scary to think about. I am working at Praxair Inc and been with this company for almost 5 years! We are a logistics company in the Semiconductor Industry and my current title is Associate Buyer. I started with the company as a Material Handler which was the fancy title they gave me when I was loading and unloading boxes off our dock for a pretty paycheck that barely paid for the roof over my head. Since then, they have moved me from there into the receiving dept, the shipping dept and now in the purchasing dept. I am quite blessed to have moved up so quickly. I like to think it had a lot to do with my wonderful work ethic and great professional attitude, but who am I kidding? :) I am very happy with where I am in my career. The company is great, the people are great, and the hours and the pay aren't bad either. I have been very fortunate in this area.

I am not currently in school, altough I have been very dilligent in my efforts to find some fincancial aid out there so I can get going on that. I took a couple classes at the community college in the summer of '07 and found that paying for school all on my own was gonna be way harder than I thought. So that is a work in progress...

Now that I think about it.. work is really all I have really been up to lately. So sad. Hopefully this blogging thing will be fun, I lead a pretty boring life.. so we shall see what comes of this...

To be continued...
