so.

i'm not a pro at cooking.. i burnt dinner tonight and had to start from scratch.. i was bummed and told my sis and got this response : "at least you didn't feed your hubby enchiladas that fell, the glass container broke, tried to salvage in another container and bite fulls of glass! good thing he loves me."

ohhh how she always makes me feel better.

she's right at least i didn't do that..

i love that

"once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life.

LOVE gives us a fairy tale. "

& that's exactly what happened.

lately i've been so grateful that he came

into my life when he did and how he did.

he was worth every day of heartbreak

and everything i went through to get to him.

in december i get him forever.

i might be getting teary eyed right about now...

my lindsey and scott tied the knot

so happy for them. they are the cutest.

notice: i'm the only "non blonde"

congratulations to a wonderful couple!

they deserve eachother

so much to do, so little time

photographer, videographer, dress, colors, hair extensions, place, date, bridesmaids outfits check check check.

still have to..

-get somewhat caught up on headband orders

-work hard to pay mister off in 2 months

-find a time to visit the fiance' in ohio
-oh ya .. and plan everything else in three months from today.. no big deal.

-- today was a day full of cramps. i knew it was bad when i found myself texting my man..

dear dr. pattee

i'm curled up in a ball in pain and feel like crying and throwing up at the same time.

with love, your least patient, patient -me

sometimes i hate being a girl.

my favorite jamba juice saved the day.

future mrs?

yes, it's official. i'm engaged to my very best friend.

words cannot express how happy i am.

i'm on cloud nine and get to stay that way always.

justin was so smooth..

he came up to the cabin in pine and had talked to my dad without me knowing it, and had g bring up the ring from gilbert. we always go on sunday drives, so i thought nothing of it when he wanted to go. . we passed a beautiful valley of mountains and i was like can we stop? he said "yah!" so we parked, and walked our way into the woods to be able to see the view. . i was sitting on a rock and he was squating down beside me. we looked at the view for not even a second and he got on his knee and said, "i have a question".. i said, what? he pulled out the ring and said. "will you marry me?" i was so shocked that i didn't know what to think, my jaw dropped for atttt least five whole seconds and the first words that came out of my mouth were "is this a joke?" he said. noooo, so i screamed YESSSS! i had no idea he had asked my dad. i put out my hand, he put on the ring and the funny thing is, i didn't even take a good look, i just wanted to hold him. i said wow at least twenty times after. i was so happy.

best moment of my whole life so far.

i love my ring and the man that comes with it. they were shocked.. they had no idea..:)
mitch gave us a toast, literally.
this is the spot {picture taken day after}
geez, i love him.




i can't wait to be joslyn marie pattee.

forever. and. ever.

{i'm so lucky that i get to marry the most amazing guy i know.}

my dad was right when he told me that:

"my future is so bright, i'm going to have to wear shades."

p.s

dear future hubby of mine,

1.you are all i've ever wanted.

2.i'm so glad you found me.

3.i can't wait to marry you.

the end.

"hey baby, let's go to vegas.."

justin is now on his second rotation [half way there] in vegas.

my aunt lives there and we decided it would be fun to take advantage of his 4 days off. my parents gave me a plane ticket for my birthday. best. present. ever.

i sure do love being around my jpattee.

highlights:

got kicked out of a few casinos cause they didn't believe me that i reallllly am twenty two.

nearly knocked over a handicapped lady.

had a homeless guy ask if he could write a song for us.

held my mans hand the whole day walking around.

somehow let him convince me that the big shot on the stratosphere wouldn't be that bad.. my feet were sweating; it was scary regardless.. but FUN.

people watched and discussed with eachother what we think their story is.

got asked if we were married many times.

learned how to breathe through my mouth in the smoking sections.

had a very very silly waiter who forgot my napkins while i was eating messy wings.

loved window shopping/looking at all the amazing buildings and lovely architecture.

laughing my head off while spending time with just.

realized that carrots and mashed potatoes can be gross at buffets.

asked people how old they think i am.. guys would say 16-18, the girls would nail it and say 22.

loved when we asked someone and they said i looked 22 and justin looked 19, she felt dumb when we told him he was 28.

the eiffel tower at night was so beautiful. we went to the top and got lucky because the water show at the bellagio was going off.

louis vitton.

suuuch a cool building.
the balligio took my breathe away..
and so did the fountain show
strike a pose..
newyork-newyork. just always had the ideas of going on rides. we went on the rollar coaster that went through these buildings.

and another one that was outside of the strip. 250 foot drop... scurry! you better believe we did it twice and the second time, justin videoed the whole thing. i yelled his name and screamed the whole time.. by the time it was done BOTH of our hair was sticking straight up and our mouths were oh so dry.

uhh-mazing

the eiffel tower at paris during the day

m&m world. our favorite water fall wall. i'd like to think its our new spot.

GQ? yup. he's mine and i love it.

FUNNY STORY.

we got out of the car because we wanted a picture with this huge guy..

take one.

take two

we wanted one with both of us in it.. so we decided to ask a guy near by that didn't speak english.

he literally took a whole entire minute to attempt to take the picture. just scared me and said, "he's going to run" i got so scared, thinking he was.. turned out, the screen was black and he was trying to figure out how to take it.

well, we got one.. however the man's head is chopped off.

he insisted we take a picture of him. haha wow.

vegas, ill see you again in less than two weeks. til we meet again..
