My Dad

My dad went in for surgery today to have 12 inches removed from his bowel. Please keep him in your prayers.


UPDATE: dad is doing great! He told me he has a button to push if it starts to hurt. He was actually very comical because of the pain medication. It will be a great story to tell him once he recovers. :) Thank you all for the prayers!

So true...

We are so proud of our little girl this year.... I need to get better at making posts so that I can brag a bit more. :)

One of the MANY things I am working on

It is my mission to get this book done by gosh! I would like for it to NOT be a 10th birthday present. :)

Posts to come

I have been slacking in many departments lately. I have a lot of things going on at the moment that have been making my head spin, along with being on the South Beach diet for two weeks. I have lost 8 lbs so I am not complaining, and will have more information on that in a future post.

Gymnastics is in full force. Pictures to come.

I miss my friends as well. I will be calling you guys soon to get together as a little girl time is always a sure bet healing procedure. I have sewing to do, organizing, cleaning, finish a long overdue photo book...

I will be talking to you guys soon! Maybe even tonight? ( I know..you are on the edge of your seats now)

We are getting married!!!!!

On my 36th birthday 11-11-11 Mr. Fentiman got down on one knee at the Intercontinental hotel and asked me if I would  marry him. Even though he couldn't hear me through the sobbing tears I said yes. On October 13, 2012 I will become Sarah Marie Fentiman and I am SO ready for that day.

We usually have a get away on our birthdays.. Mine November11th and his November 12th. So when I walked into the hotel room I thought nothing of the rose petals, candles, wine and chocolate dipped strawberries because he always does a phenomenal job of making our time romantic and perfect. So I walked up to the table to look at everything and then he grabbed my left hand... I turned around and  at that point he got down on one knee! I immediately started sobbing. What a great guy. All of the pictures were taken with my cell phone, so I'm sorry for the quality but I wanted to share our moment with you.

He had the rose petals painted the colors I want for our wedding.. Well at least he asked for those colors. :) He also matched the candles and the sugar on the strawberries. Didn't I tell you that he was good????

He proposed using the ring box that my mom's wedding set came in with a loaned ring. The next day we went to pick mine out... I got to wear my diamond with a loaned band until my band was ready. I got my official ring this past Thursday and I can't stop staring at it. It is SO beautiful.



Ignore the old hand and look at the Emerald cut diamond.. much prettier eh?



The assistant manager  at Tivol , Wendy Sight sent me this picture once it was done. She went above and beyond for us and we couldn't have asked for more! Thank you Wendy!!!

News.. to come..

I have news that I have been DYING to tell you... but I have to wait until next Saturday so that we can have a little show and tell. Until then I will leave you with a hint. Remember this dress? More to come.
