This is very long, but very exciting for me!!! :)
So, I have the BEST fiance in the WORLD! We got our taxes back and we had some ideas about what we needed/wanted to do with them. We ended up using some of it to pay some bills, put some of it aside to take Kenzie and Allie to Splash Village (a hotel with a huge water park inside-we went last year at this time and had a BLAST!), then we had some money left over to kinda just do whatever with. Well, she bought me a car! I am sooooo excited and I absolutely LOVE it! Two years ago when we first started dating I was driving a 01 Cadillac. I ended up selling it for a peice of crap 97 Nissan Altima. It was when all the gas prices went sky high and I was driving a good 45 mins to work just one way and then another 50 miles to school 4 days a week. So I figured to help me save some money, I would sell my car and get a gas saver. Big mistake. The Altima ended up blowing a head gasket 8 months after I got it, had other problems, and then eventually just stopped working. So, for the last 9 months or so we have been using just one car (Jamies 02 Jeep Liberty). Well, I had mentioned that I would like a car with the tax money this year and I ended up finding one that I LOVED and she bought it for me! It's a white Grand Am GT with two pink racing stripes going from the front of the car to the back spoiler. It sounds weird when I type it lol, but it looks so good. Annnnd I love love love the color pink, and I'm so girly, that this car fits me perfectly! I will take pics and post them soon. I am so excited right now! 
So then, after getting me a car, I'm home yesterday and I get a knock at my door. Its the UPS guy with a box from Victoria's Secret (which I also am obsessed with). J got me a cute nighty and a comfy soft robe and a make-up kit. It was so sweet! My heart just melted. She is the best! After I get my package she comes home and says "lets go to the mall". So we go and she ends up buying me a ton of things from American Eagle and Aeropostale. I haven't gotten clothes in so long, because I have been so self consious about my weight. I have lost 50 pounds in the last 8 months and I haven't bought myself a pair of jeans since the weight loss because I didn't know what size I was. I was scared to find out lol. When her and I started dating I was a size 14. I had gained a lot of weight when I was preggo with Kenzie (100lbs) and then I got preggo with Allie and gained 16lbs. I never really lost the weight so I always hated shopping because I felt so ugly. Which was very dissapointing because I LOVE to shop! J would always try to make me feel beautiful, and she loved me just the way I was, but I still hated shopping! So when we went to the mall,I was scared, but excited at the same time about finding my new size. I found out my size has dropped to a 3/4. I was so happy! So, she got me a bunch of new clothes that fit me and she bought me some new shoes. Then yesterday, she took me to buy me a new cell phone. It's pink and I love it After we got the phone, we went and got tattoos. J already has 11 of them and I only had 1. It is a tribal thing with Makenzie's name in it, up on my left shoulder. I ended up getting 4 of them and my first one touched up, and Jamie got 3 of them. We got 8 all together for only 300 dollars! I got a tribal sign for love on my right wrist and a tribal sign for marriage on my left wrist, and I got the same one as my left shoulder on my right except it has Alexandras name on it. Then I got a tribal thing with Jamie's name in it on my lower back. It is really cool looking! J got both the tribals as me on her left arm with my name in between them, with a little design around my name. The guy did an awesome job! I never thought I would get anyones name besides my kids on my body, and I'm not gonna lie, I was nervous about getting J's name on me, but in the end, it just felt "right". I love them!
So, I got very spoiled these past few days and I appreciate everything my baby has done for me! Jamie is the best thing to ever happen to me and I could not imagine my life without her. It doesn't happen very often that we can go out and splurge on anything, but when we get a moment to where we can, she always puts me first. I love her for that. She is my best friend, and I would give my life for her I'm sorry this is so long, but I just wanted to share with you my fun last couple days I will post pics soon of the tats and new car!
