Surprise!!! Happy Anniversary!

For those of you who didn't know....October 14th is our Anniversary!! This year I wanted to do something BIG, something out of the ordinary, and really fun! So....with some help from my family and Justin's, I flew out to Bozeman (unannounced) to surprise Justin!!! This was very hard for me to keep a secret for 3 weeks....but it worked! Justin's face was priceless, and he was speechless for the rest of the night :) He was coming home from a trip with his parents to Utah visiting his brother Troy. I flew into Bozeman at 1pm (Justin didnt get back til 8pm) so I hung with his roomies (who are very nice) and saw some friends, and grocery shopped (boys have no food in their houses) I hid behind the front door and Justin walked in....had NO idea I was planning this....and it was unforgetable. Very much worth the secret scheeming and tricky phone calls :)

For our anniversary dinner we went to Cafe Internationale (one of our faves) and pretty much had the entire place to ourselves :)
This is the morning after the big surprise....and what a sight to wake up to. This was taken standing on Justin's front porch. I'm going to miss this place....
This is Justin's house! Lots has been done to it since he's moved in. The shrubs, the new deck, and grass and irrigation system! He's very handy...
We had such a blast together over my 3 day visit. Strolled downtown, ate at our favorite breakfast nook (cat eye cafe), went to campus to feed my college- wear addication, went to the public library, saw some friends i graduated with, ate some good grub, saw Justin's parents, cleaned his room and car (very much needed!) and spent time with his roomies....such nice guys. This is a trip I will never forget- and it will be one of my last for a while. I find myself missing Montana more each time I go back. Who knows....someday I may call this place home again.
While I was out in MT...Justin (not knowing i was flying out) had already sent these GORGEOUS Vera Wang flowers to my house (luckily my sister was there to receive them). You did well Justin! Happy 6 Years.....to us. *love*

The Big Move

Well, Justin has officially accepted the job here in TC! He already gets one week paid vacation!!! How awesome. He has been contacted by the management company and will be starting his new job on November 3rd! He has alot of moving plans to figure out within the next 30 days....

I am so excited to have him back in Michigan!


As for me:
On a sad note- I do not have a job right now. My store suddenly was closed last Tuesday due to my companies bad management and financial issues they never disclosed to their employees. My boss shut our doors (Good Harbor Coffee and Tea) and said she was locking it up for good. She and her ex-husband have been fighting and unfortunately brought their personal lives into their business.....and employees lives. I was furious when this happened. I have been unemployed now for one week...its rough I must say. I have no money coming in, and its scary. My job right now is finding a job. Frustrating to say the very least. Boring also! But on the flip side I am taking this as an opportunity to find something BETTER, a company to appreciate me and show I am worth more than what I was shown previously. Thanks to everyone who have been my support group through this time. I am confident I can do this! This is a sign that something better is on it's way :)

As for Rob & Linds:

They are currently in Grand Rapids to obtain their work visas for London!! Lindsey got her work permit yesterday. They are scheduled to leave Oct. 13th to make the official move together to London. We shall see if that holds true! Only 2 months and 25 days left til our big trip across the pond!! Stay tuned for more!
