First Post!

Hi!

A little introduction… after looking around at some blogs for the past few weeks, I decided to make one of my own! I’m currently in one of the busiest, but MOST exciting times of my life right now. I am engaged to my best friend, Dane Knott. and we will wed and become "newly weds" on March 10th of this year! :) He has my heart, and I couldn’t imagine life without him!

HOW IT HAPPENED:

My family, Dane and myself all went on a cruise this past July. It was Danes first cruise so I knew it would be memorable but never did I think it would be this memorable! It was our first night onboard and we had just finished dinner. I was super tired and just wanted to be a grandma and go to bed but Dane insisted to go up to the top deck to walk around. So I agreed and we went up. Once we got up there, we were just walking around and totally off subject, he asked "Do you remember the first time we met?" I looked at him crazy, like duh you don't remember? but then I realized he was going somewhere with that. I said "Yes, it was at Sokol." He then said "And you know that meeting you was very special to me?" Before I even had time to respond, I saw him pulling out a ring box from his boot and getting down on one knee. Then he asked "Ashley Wilson, will you marry me?" My first reaction was "When did you get this?!" (haha...that's kinda rude) but I was such in shock. So after I realized what just happened within those quick 20 seconds, I then said "YES, I will marry you!!"

Later he told me that he had this whole speech memorized in his head of what he was going to say but his nerves got the best of him. Either way, it was perfect to me and I will cherish that moment forever!

As of right now, I’m pretty busy trying to balance
1. Work
2. TONS of wedding planning -which is definitely overwhelming needless to say but I love it at the same time.
3. Trying to keep up with things around the house -it’s a little different when you aren’t just picking up after yourself anymore.. haha!
4. Taking a semester off from school -which by the way...I'm LOVING!
& 5. To be the best person I can be! I take my life day by day keeping Jesus Christ in my heart and live every day to the fullest. <3

This weekend will start all of our wedding festivities and I am very excited! It's bittersweet!
These last 4 1/2 weeks will fly by but I'm READY!
Well I guess this is enough for now! After this weekend, I will post pictures of our Couples Shower and maybe even some of our gifts! ;)

Happy Monday!
