Happy New Years!

    New Year's Eve, we went over to Steve's house for a party! It was such a great time. We loved seeing everybody! We all played "Catch Phrase" and ate lots of delicious food. I love spending time with Steve and Sara. That whole group of kids are just amazing to hang out with.

Wedding Planning

    Life is so amazingly amazing right now. I've been living at home this past week (no crazies, free parking, no walking in the snow, food galore) and working at Beacon Recycling (yay!) for the past week. It's been so amazing. I absolutely love it. It feels like a flashback of my old life, and although I love GR and my school and my new job, it is so great to come back here and fit in all over again. And be reminded at how great my life is.


    Brett and I are busily planning away. So far, we have the church reserved for August 12. We talked to Pastor Glenn Shelton (amazing man!), we booked Portobello's Grand Hall for Sunday evening. We also have quite a bit of money lined up for us. So we're so excited. I've been planning so much with my Mom and Dad lately. And at first, I thought they were going to be so mad at me, but they understand marriage is really important to me, and I've always wanted to get married young. (Brett has too.) And we'll be poor for a while, but I think it'll be a lot of fun. Brett's parents said some of the best years of their lives, were when they were young, poor and married. =]


    Life is amazing. I love Brett so much. I still cannot believe I'm wearing this beautiful ring, given to me by this boy I'm completely head over heels for, and I'm going to be a wife in less than a year. Brett and I have wanted this all of our lives. I'm so glad we chose each other. <3

The Start of Tall Ships

    Brett and I went over to Peter's apartment tonight to hang out. They showed me the new band they are working, Tall Ships. They recorded a few songs with Damian, but it's definitely not at all like The Family Line. It's a lot more serious; and a lot better. Brett is drumming right now, but would so much rather do vocals, but it just all depends on who they can find for the band. He is just so excited about it. He was dancing around to it.

We're Engaged!

    We're engaged! Yesterday, Brett was being entirely sneaky and I could definitely tell something was up, but I had NO idea he was going to propose last night. Well... we came back to Grand Haven and he was driving, and I'm like "What are we doing?" and he goes "Driving." And then he turns into the parking lot and we go on the pier (it was freezing!) I thought it was suspicous but still didn't think anything. We got to the end and he was like, "You ready to go" and I'm like oh... and then I'm like, "Yep are you?" and he goes "no..." and I turn toward him and he gets down on one knee and gosh I don't even remember but it was something like,"I love you. Will you marry me?" or "I want you to marry me." or gosh, I don't know. It seems like everytime Brett says something it just all blurs together because I'm not believing it and I'm just so overfilled with happiness. It was so dark behind the lighthouse, so I didn't see the ring box right away, but I touched my hand to it and was like "Really?! Yes!!" and then we hugged and kissed and were like, "Let's get out of here, it's cold!" I giggled the whole way back on the walk. And giggled some more. The ring is so delicate and pretty and simple. I love it so much.


    We went back home and we walked in the door and Brett goes, "Well, guess what" and his Dad instantly looks at my finger! And then Brett goes, "We're engaged!" and then Brett's Dad gets up and hugs me and says congratulations and then Brett's mom gets up from the couch and looks at my ring and hugs me! They were smiling and it was so cute. I couldn't even sleep last night I was so excited. Sarge came up and slept with me all night. I'm inheriting two kids! =] Brett also called Jeff and Tiffaney and Tiffaney was like "I love Tieka!" and then Jeff told Brett that the first day he met me, he knew I was the one for him. I love Brett so entirely much. I honestly cannot believe this. AT ALL. <3

Happy Halloween!

    There was a big lunch, pumpkin carving and costume contest at Kendall. [go figure, art students!] and it was amazing! I totally loved it. I love my school so much. It's totally perfect that our whole school can have one lunch contest, so unlike any other big huge school ;] Oh how I love it.. Life couldn't be any better. Seriously. It's perfection.

    After my final class let out, I ran home quick to 5 Lyon to grab my scooter. I scooted so fast down to the parking lot to grab my car! All of the business men were staring at me crazily. I mean c'mon. Haven't they ever seen a cat riding a razor scooter before? I drove so fast to Grand Haven to go to Brett's house. We watched movies on the couch and passed out candy to the kids. It was such a blast.

The Family Line @ The Park Theater

    Brett and I headed over to Peter's apartment, to pick him up and get some photos of them in their paint! They dressed up like zombies for The Family Line show. We drove out to Holland to the Park Theater, so they could play. It was pretty nuts. They all had fake blood in their mouths that they spit out. Sick!

Carving Pumpkins

    Brett and I got pumpkins from his Mom, and carved them in his parent's kitchen! We played halloween music on their cable channel, and sat and carved. I always create the same pumpkin face. Brett is a bit more creative than I am!

Baby Ava is Born!

    So I was at the hospital waiting with Brett and his family, to see Jeff and Tiffaney's new baby girl that was born tonight. Ava Debolt Dierolf; 6 pounds 11 ounces. It was seriously so beautiful, to see Ava, to hug Jeff, to see Tiffaney all worn out, to see tears in Brett's parent's eyes and to hug Brett's dad,and to hug Brett. [who is now an uncle!] It makes me tear up just thinking, about how someday that family, will be my family too.

Chicago Trip

    We left for Chicago on Saturday morning. Went CD shopping and got a couple of CD's on sale. Went over to see Millenium park, the fountains weren't spitting that time, I was kinda disappointed, but we got some neat pictures there by the mirror blob thing!

    (cloud gate, chicago!)

    (millenium park)
    We walked over to Shedd Aquarium, waited an hour in line, it was so entirely packed in there. It wasn't exactly what we were hoping for, but it turned out alright after we got to see the penguins. We walked all the way back over, finally got a cab and went to Ed Debevic's. Crazy oh man, but it was quite an experience. Hailed another cab, and went shopping at Nike, Pottery Barn, H&M and all around Michigan Ave. We had to walk back to the car and almost died, we were so tired.

    On the way home, we just talked about everything and stopped to BK, and got service by a totally crazy lady. Then I was like sleeping, yet still talking to Brett. I don't really remember, haha. I just remember how happy I felt to sleep next to him in my bed after that night. Soo tired.

Brett's 22nd Birthday

    Brett turned 22 today! I went to Grand Haven for his birthday. I got him a hoodie he really wanted at Modern Skate Shop! He was excited. Then, we went to Clover Bar with his parents, brother, sister and Grandma Cook. It was fun; plus Brett loves Clover Bar!

Cider and Grand Haven

    I absolutely love driving on Lake Michigan Avenue from Grand Rapids to Grand Haven to see Brett. Sunday, we walked to downtown Grand Haven. We got some hot cider at "The Coffee Grounds" and walked down by the water. Perfect autumn weather!

    (brett and me)
    He showed me the Imagination Station and I loved it. It's like this huge wooden playground. We played around on that for a bit, took a lot of fun pictures together.

    (me on the playground)
    Afterwards, we just went back to his parent's, so we could watch movies in the basement, in his amazing bedroom I love so much. I swear it's the only place in the world I feel like being lately. School has been so challenging and I'm having a hard time adjusting to college, and Brett just makes all of those bad feelings go away. I love him so much.

Goodbye, Monroe Piercing

    I just have to stress how sad I am. I took out my piercing tonight, now it's half way closed up. I had to for my new job at Beaner's coffee. I'm sure I could push it back through, but I can already tell it would hurt so bad. It's time to grow up anyway. Ugh! It was finally starting to heal perfectly, and I am seriously so in love with this piercing.

Tiger's Game

    Brett's brother, Jeff, and sister-in-law, Tiffaney, picked us up in, so we could all drive out to Detroit to watch a Tiger's game! We had to stop along the way so Tiffaney could throw up (she is 8 months pregnant!) The game was really sweet. Our seats were so high up; I felt like if I were to fall forward, I'd fall down hundreds of feet. I love going to night games; they're definitely my favorite.

Celebration on the Grand

    Saturday, Brett and I went to Celebration on the Grand in downtown Grand Rapids. It was really cool because we could just walk, right from my apartment at 5 Lyon. We walked down to Big Boy and ate dinner, and walked back up to watch the fireworks. It started down-pouring. It was insane! The streets were flooding; it was raining so hard. We bought a blanket from someone for $5, and held it over our heads as we ran back to my apartment. Such a great way to end summer.

Van Andel Museum

    It was really cloudy and gray in Grand Rapids, and Brett and I were pretty bored, so we decided to go to the Van Andel Museum downtown. We sat through this astronomy show which was fun, and then walked all around looking at the exhibits. I loved the replica of old time Grand Rapids. It was my favorite part of the museum!

    Our apartment at 5 Lyon is gorgeous. All of our girly things combined make this place look awesome. All of the walls are exposed brick, brand new everything. My bedroom is tiny, but I love it. I got all new sheets and bedding, and my new Macbook looks so cute in there!

Moving to Grand Rapids!

    Brett and I packed up my entire room at home into our cars. My mom helped me move everything the next day into our new apartment. I cannot believe I'm now living in Grand Rapids, MI! I've waited so long to get out of Muskegon. The only bad thing about it is that I'm further away from Brett. But I'm so excited to have him stay at my apartment with me. I LOVE GRAND RAPIDS!

Brett's Broken Wrist

    So, I got a call in the middle of the night from Brett. He was at the Gorilla Biscuits show; stage-diving. And he thinks he broke his wrist. He stuck out the rest of the show, drove all the way home from Detroit, and finally went to the emergency room back in Grand Haven. And that's what happened! A broken wrist, and of course, he had to choose the pink cast. Ugh!

Last Day at Beacon Recycling

    After being at Beacon Recycling since I was 17 years old, I'm finally leaving to go pursue my dream at Kendall College. I've been working here part-time for more than 2 years; it's so crazy to be leaving it all behind! They have a new girl, Dawn, who is coming to take my place. But I'm definitely going to miss Monica, Kevin, Mark, Steve; basically the whole dirty shop gang I love working for.

The 1st "I Love You"

    We walked the pier tonight and sat down on the end and talked about our relationship a little bit. He asked me if I thought we were going to get married. I told him I'd love that, but I really had no idea. He told me he felt there was a huge possibility we could get married. When we were walking back, we kept talking about our lives when we're older; about our kids, our house, our careers and how everything could work out so great. We walked back to the swings and swung on the swings for a while. We laid down in the sand and dared each other to eat it like when we were kids, haha. We were driving home and he was like, "I feel like sitting out on the trampoline to talk. Not about anything in particular, just to talk."

    (brett)
    (brett and me)
    (us)
    Well we were being goofballs on the trampoline, We were like facing each other, indian style with our legs wrapped around each other and I am being silly and annoying like usual and I'm like "I likee you Brett!" and he's like, "I love you." And he told me later that I looked dumbfounded, but really I was just taken by absolute surprise and I'm like "Do you really?" and he's like "Yes" and I said, "I absolutely love you too Brett." and he hugged and kissed and he kept looking at me so sweet and everything, omg! We kept saying it during the night, but it was just so amazing and I was completely taken by surprise. He said that when I said "elephant shoes" at movies on deck, that if I would have said it, he would have said it back. And he said he was trying to find a way all night to tell me. I'd love to marry Brett because he's everything I ever want in my life, and I love him too. I really do.

20th Birthday

    Today was pretty darn amazing. I turned 20! I went to Dad's house and they got me a comforter and some cash. Shar also made me a peanut butter cake. Mmm. We went out on the boat for a little bit. Brett came out to meet us and he met my Dad and Shar. Everything seemed to go great! Shar said that Brett had a cute smile. Brett and I rode the boat back with them to the dock. I dropped Brett back off to his car and went home to get ready.

    I got all showered and cute! And Brett came over wearing suit pants, a collar shirt and a tie. He looked so absolutely amazing, I could have just died right then and there. He brought me a rose and the Charlie Chaplin DVD collection. He said he looked everywhere for The Kid but couldn't find it. I adore him so much. He drove us to Grand Rapids. We went to Olive Garden and the whole meal was just embarrassing. I knocked over my whole glass of coke and broke a wine glass. Then I was on pins and needles the whole time because Brett told the waiter that it was my birthday and they all came to sing to me. It was so awful! After that, we went to Peter's new apartment to watch a movie. Brett drove me out back home to Muskegon. If he asked you to marry him, it's so sad that you would absolutely say yes right now. He gave me a wonderful hug goodbye and I just.... I just elephant shoes him. :]

Movies on Deck

    Brett and I were amazing today. He drove us to Grand Rapids so we could pick up his paycheck. We both agreed on the way there that we LOVE confetti cake and Long John Silver's chicken planks. He said, "If we ever get married, we should have confetti wedding cake." Hahaha. I love it. We stopped to his house, ate at Long John Silver's and then Peter met up with us and we went to go see his new apartment. Brett had his arm around me and was like "We're getting married". Ugaah!. If only he knewwww how much I like him in THAT way. We saw Peter's new apartment and then headed back to Grand Haven. He was lazy, but didn't want to sit around so I was finally like "Let's go watch a movie on the boat." So we went to downtown Muskegon to watch Pink Panther on the boat.

    (movies on deck)
    (brett)
    We were both so bored and it was just funny how we were thinking the same thing. I mouthed "elephant shoes" to him and he's like what, leaned in closer... what??, whhhat?? and I'm like "elephant shoes." Hahahaha. We laughed about it on the way home. He was like "I don't think she's saying what I think she's saying." We got out of the car and he was like, "You know how you thought I was going to be creeped out cuz you liked me so much?" and I'm like yeah? and he goes "Well now I'm worried that you're going to be creeped out because I'm starting to like you a lot. I mean I liked you a lot before, but now I like you a lot a lot." I'm like "Oh my gosh, dont ever even worry about that." I'd never be creeped out. I WANT him to like me that much. He makes me feel whole honestly. He's my best friend of all time and I absolutely adore him and our relationship. I'm definitely falling in love with him.
