Something shiny & trees galore :)

Last night Alex finally gave me my engagement ring.  He asked me the third day we were together and every day since then, but when it came to giving me my ring (which we got awhile ago), he kept telling me he had never "proposed" to anyone in that way before and just wanted me to go put it on.  I said I wasn't getting married again after him, so I wanted it done the right way this time...lol.  So, last night in bed (and yes, I'll leave it at that as far as details :X) he gave me my ring and asked me to take him forever *smile*.  I thought it was really sweet, he was chucklin the whole time cuz he was nervous, which I thought was cute...  These aren't the rings we had originally planned, but we're going to get those with tax money.  It was either take the girls to Disney for Christmas or get our rings..so we got these, which are very cool.  Mines a set, his is a spinner-band.  Mine was too big (his will be too, probably), so we put some cotton tape on the back (Walmart was out of ring sizers).  We're both kinda giddy about it..dunno about a date, still working out the kinks on all further details.

When we were at Kim's mom's yesterday, Alex was *kind* enough to offer my services w/ the truck to get Kim and Donald's Christmas tree back to their house.  I told them if Donald would fix Alex's tail-lights then we'd be even.  Well, we picked up mom to go to lunch, then we met them at Walmart to get their tree.  What started out as one tree, turned into 3 trees...theirs, her sisters, and her mothers.  :(  I was a little annoyed (from her sister, to her mom, then wayyyyyyy out to their house..not a quick trek), but they've done alot for me and mine, so I did it.  I kept mom with me and we stayed at Kim's for a couple of hours.  Then Donald said he'd keep all the kids while Kim made the *quick* trip to Walmart to put a go-kart on layaway for the boys' Christmas present.  We had to go to Walmart anyway, so we met her there.  It turned into a 2 hour ordeal for her to get it (it was horrid, f'n idiots working there).  I stayed w/ her cuz I felt bad...she was getting mad at the workers, and Donald was calling every 2 seconds yelling at her and her babies were yelling in the background (which got her upset more). 

Anywho, she finally got it done, then I went to find mom.  I picked up dinner from deli, dropped mom off at home, then went with Kaitlynne and had dinner w/ Alex at the hotel.  Long-ass day, to say the least.  We both agreed wholeheartedly that we are NOT going ANYWHERE tomorrow.  We're goin to piddle around the house, put up our Christmas tree (oh yes we are, Alex....LOL), and VEGETATE!  Sunday, my mom is keeping Kaitlynne overnight so we can go to wrestling ppv at Winghouse. 

Guess that's about it...that's enough!  Whole week has been nonstop and I'm TIRED!
