| A week left |
[Jul. 11th, 2006|06:27 pm] |
Wow I cant believe that I only have a week left in bismarck, I move to Burnsville, MN on July 19, 2006. I got a call today saying that I got accepted into my apartment so if you want my address get ahold of me and I will give it to you. the nice thing is that Ash is in the same complex as I am so were not terribly far away, theres a total of 5 buildings and Im in the first one and shes in the last one or vice versa depending how you look at it, but its a very nice place. It will be a very nice change to be able to see her daily rather than once or twice a month too. Once I move I probably wont have internet access for a while being as it costs 40 bucks a month for cable and I wont have a land line phone so I wont be able to get DSL or *shudder* dial-up so you probably wont see as much of me on here. Ash just started school and so far she really enjoys it from what shes told me so thats a good thing. from the sounds of things Ash and I might be coming back to Bismarck over labor day weekend because she has a long weekend from school but not quite long enough to go home so her parents might meet us here. this is getting to be long so I will let you rest your eyes now.
here is a pic from google earth that shows the apartment complex if you want to see it. |

I havent updated this in a while cause I'm usualy using myspace and I realized I never told those of you who arent on myspace or arent on my friends list the big news. A couple weeks ago (May 21, 2006) I asked Ash to marry me and she said yes so we are officialy engaged. We're waiting until were done with school to get married so a date hasnt been set yet. She is the better half of me though she always can make me smile no matter what my mood is like and is willing to drop what shes doing if I'm having a bad day. She means the world to me and I'm looking forward to spending the rest of my life with her. best of all though, she puts up with my pranks, like shoving her face in her graduation cake. Those of you wanting the story of how I asked, well theres not much to it, once she opened her presents, I told her that she had 1 more present to open, she looked at me kinda weird as I got down on my knees and moved towards her and said "I love you" I then proceeded to blank out everything else I was planning to say so there was silence for about 10 seconds after she said "I love you too" then I said "Will you marry me" and she said "Yes" the best part was yet to come though, her brother Dustin (seen hovering over us in the picture) said "What just happened?" those present in the room as much as I can remember were: Ash, Me, Dustin, Wyatt, Her mom and dad, her grandma and grandpa on her moms side, her grandma's cousin, her uncle Steve, and Bert.
Heres pics.
 Here's me proposing to her (Yes I worked up the guts to ask her with her family in the room)
 Here's the ring I got her.
 And of course the cake (It's a good thing she loves me) Heres the video of me asking her if your interested in that. (Thanks Bert) |

Remember back...
Before the Internet or Text messaging...
Before Sidekicks & Ipods
Before Playstation2 or X-BOX
Before the 5 hours of homework you put off every night...
When you rented VHS taps.. not DVDs
When gas was $0.95 a gallon & Caller ID was a new thing...
When we recorded stuff on VCRs & paid $3.50 for a movie...
When we called the radio station to request songs to hear off our WALKMANS!!!
***Way back...
Tag
Hide-N-Go Seek at dusk!
Red light, Green light!
Heads up 7 up!
Playing kickball & dodgeball until your porch light came on.
Hopskotch!
Slip-n-Slides
Tree Houses
Mother May I?
Red Rover
Four square
Hula Hoops
the annoying nano pets and furbs
Playing Street Hockey with the neighborhood friends
Running through the sprinklers
Happy Meals where u chose a Barbie or a Hot Wheels car
Getting the privelage to sit in the front seat of the car
***Wait...
....Watchin' Saturday Morning cartoons in your PJ's still wrapped up in your Garfield comforter...
...Hey Arnold, Doug, RUGRATS!
Gullah Gullah Island
The ORIGINAL Power Rangers!
Or what about...
Legends of the Hidden Temple!!!
The Secret Life of Alex Mac! Ren and Stimpy Global Guts!! Double Dare!!! Rocko's Modern Life! AAAHH!! Real Monsters!!! Hey Dude Wild & Crazy Kids! Klarissa explains it all!
ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK! The Original 'All That' Cast Members! Pete and Pete! My Brother and Me!! Kenan and Kel!!! lol (who loves orange soda)
SALUTE YOUR SHORTSS
Who could forget Snick?! & Nick at Nite! with Bewitched, I Dream of Jeanie, facts of life & I LOVE LUCY!!!
Where every1 wanted to be in love after watching THE WONDER YEARS!
***Not finished yet...
Kool-Aid was the drink of the summer
Giving your friends a ride on your handlebars or spokes
Wearing your new shoes on the first day of school
Class Field Trips
When Christmas time was the most EXCITING time of the year!
When nearly everyone's mom was at home when the kids got there.
When getting high was swinging on the swingset
When $5 seemed like a million, and another dollar a Miracle.
When you begged to go to McDonalds, for dinner...EVERYDAY.
When Toys r Us overuled the "mall"
***Go back to the time when...
nobody had cable & people watched THE BOX on channel 25 & called & paid to watch music videos!!!!
Decisions were made by going "eeny-meeny-miney-moe"
Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming, "do over!"
"Race issue" meant arguing about who ran the fastest.
Money issues were handled by whoever was the banker in "monopoly"
It wasn't odd to have two or three "best" friends.
Being old, referred to anyone over 20.
The chance to skate as a couple at the local roller rink was like winning the lottery....
The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was cooties.
When someone made u mad u would tell them you were going to sue them
Nobody was prettier than Mom
Nobody was cooler than Dad
Scrapes and bruises were kissed and made better
It was a big deal to finally be tall enough to ride the "big people" rides at the fair...
Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for giggles.
When playing nintendo was the hardest thing ever.
When ninja turtles ruled the world.
If you can remember most or all of these, then you have LIVED IN THE 90's!!!
Post this to your bulletin if you remember these days, these days when you had a blast being a kid! |
