Holiday drama
So I know it's not just me, but why is it that once your married everyone completely freaks out around the holidays? If you don't spend the holidays with one family they are upset and they try and make you feel guilty about not being with them or not caring enough about them... It's actually kind of silly. Because what it should be about is what's best for the couple. Sometimes you can't do the "every other year" thing even if you wanted to. And my mother bless her always tells me Erica it's fine if you want to go with braydon's family I won't be mad because she wants it to be easier on us. Well, why can't all families be like that? I'm not saying it would be easier to have her say come here we want you with us, but That way we could just pick what is most convenient for us or in some peoples cases pick which family they would rather be with. If anyone has mastered the whole family holiday drama please let me in on your secret. I"m about to bag the whole going to families house and just have our own holiday. Someone HELP me. And maybe it's just because i feel like i would rather be with my family when i know he doesn't really care where we are. Who knows if it will ever change for me or the rest of the world who is getting married or is married. All I know is holidays are suppossed to be about familes right? So why does it matter if you are with the "other" family... like MY family. So i'm wishing everyone luck with their picks on who to spend their holidays with. Chose wisely!

Prayer
So today was a very special day for many reasons. Today I discovered again that prayer works, and if people put their faith in our Heavenly Father he will help is the best way possible. I know that things happen for a reason, and I know today was a tender mercy for a lot of people. I know that the things that happened today was the miracle of God. I'm so grateful that we have a chance to speak to him and tell him our desires and to allow him to help us with things that we want, don't want, and things we need. I know that today was a miracle and hope for two special people and one little angel. Today is a day of hope and happiness. Today is the beginning of a future.

Cleaning Teeth
Solast week I had to do a Dental and the sweetest shih-tzu dog with the sickest mouth in the history of all the dentals i've done. I had to pull 36 teeth and on most of them i had to drill done to the bone of this dog's jaw. It took me about two hours to get all of the teeth extracted. The dog was going into kidney and liver failure because teeth that are that bad cause a lot more problems to the dog then just "bad breath" So in a sense i had to do a two hour oral surgery on this dog and i'm not going to lie it was pretty gross pulling hair and food from underneath the teeth, but this dog is and will be so much happier and better off. We ran lab work today on the dog and the kidneys and liver are starting to get back to normal levels... yes i am just saving lives(animal lives) one day at a time. Just a small taste of what i do on a daily basis. Brush your teeth:)

Well we walked across the bridge and I went to get in and there were roses and i turned around and he was on one knee. He said "Erica will you marry me?" I said "it's about freaking time."

I took him and his brother tyler in his room and he held my hand so tight I think it made him feel better because he was trying not to cry. I think at that point I had cried so much that there wasn't anything left...
12.Do you get along with his family? Yes He has the sweetest sisters and his brother mat and I call each other valentine. I love his aunts and uncles... Not to name names, but me and his aunt (I hope are she thinks so) are really really good friends and i love talking to her. She is like my sister. He also gets along great with my family. My dad and him are like best friends and my mother adores him. My siblings say that they don't think of us as married weird i know, but they think of him just always being their brother.
