WDEngagement

It's official! Hannah and Josh are engaged and as I like to coin the weekend as " War Damn Engagement!" For those of you who aren't from Alabama, WAR EAGLE is our Battle Cry! Read here for the full story! Anyway, lots of speculation was going on if Josh would propose this weekend or not. Reasons why it was the best weekend for Josh to ask Hannah to marry him ever....

1. Auburn and Clemson played for the first time since 2007. Hannah is an Auburn graduate and Josh is a Clemson alumni. Auburn and Clemson played a great game and AUBURN WON!

2. Hannah Warren...soon to be Chapman...LOVES football. Living with Hannah for officially two years and unofficially four, Hannah would wake up every Saturday morning to watch College Game Day. She can spit out Auburn Football history like it is her job. She loves Auburn football and college football in general.

3. All of Hannah and Josh's family were in town "for the game" and the weekend included a engagement party tailgate.

4. The last and the best is that Hannah was completely surprised! Josh really talked it up that it wasn't happening until next spring...needless to say..Hannah believed him!

I love these two and truly can say that they were made for each other. Congratulations you two!

I never thought the day would come that I would work in a bar...don't freak out I still am working for Auburn but I needed something else to keep me busy on the weekends.

Weekends have been the toughest part of this deployment. That was the time that I would spend with Wyatt and with most of my close girlfriends in Birmingham or really just not in Auburn, I would spend most of my weekend nights at home. At home, watching shows like Supper Nanny or Project Runway and talking to Ranger… like he can even understand me. As much fun as that is... (Kidding) I am happy to be doing something more social. Plus having a little extra cash NEVER hurts!

So, I know, how did I even think to work here? Well if you read my Trail Mix post from last week I had mentioned that I went out with a coworker to this great place...8th and Rail! Well what I didn't post was that when I was there I inquired about being a cocktail server! By Wednesday they contacted me and I had my first night on Friday! It was so much fun. It is an adjustment for me. I haven’t been up past midnight well since Wyatt left and apparently know nothing about alcohol. Here I thought that beer choices were Budlight, Millerlight and Bud Heavy. I couldn't be more wrong. Beers like White Hawk, and PranQster are commonly ordered. Who would have thought…needless to say I am learning!

I like it for now. I guess only time will tell! I am sure that it is going to provide for some funny stories! If you are in town please stop by!

On a way more exciting note Katie and Colin got engaged this past Friday! Three days later I am still freaking out and so excited for the two of them! Next plan of action is to find a way for Colin and Wyatt to be at the same base so we can live near each other! For those of you that don't know Katie, she is my "army friend". Our friendship started with a phone call during Ranger School that had both of us tearfully thinking that the guys had fallen out of love with us due to a lack of letters. It is funny to think about now...definitely NOT funny at the time. It is such a blessing that God has given me a friend like her. There are just some things that only she can get! Congratulations you two! I am so happy and excited for your future!
