The New Camera! :)






I'm so glad I finally got a camera! It's just a simple point and shoot but it's handy dandy:) I've had lots of fun with it and I've only had it for a couple days:) The effects are fun and everyone enjoys having their picture taken:)

The Many Faces of Khimanie:)

I bought a camera this week, FINALLY, so I'm snappin pictures all the time. Khimanie LOVES the camera and everytime I pull it out she goes, "Cheeeeeessseee!!" And makes this face every time:) Then IMMEDIATELY after the picture is taken she says, "I see I see I see" and reaches for the camera. EVERY TIME without fail:)


She's definitely adorable and so much fun:) She's going going going all the time and she's very smart! She's 17 months old and always says please and thank you, AT THE RIGHT TIMES... Wow right? She cleans her messes and sings, "Clean up, Clean up, Share" :) She counts to three and she dances like NO OTHER.. She's definitely a black baby:) I have a video of her dancing and I'll put it up soon:) She makes me want to have a baby... but I can DEFINITELY wait don't you worry. More to come soon!



The Ring:) and The Dancing Babe..

So I know these two things have nothing to do with each other, but I finally got a good picture of the ring, so here it is. He let me have the wedding bands but said I couldn't wear them until I was officially his:) I'm making an exception for a picture:) Hehe:)


And.. I said I'd post Khimanie dancing but everytime I brought out the camera she'd stop and smile.. So here's what I got:)

Popping the Question:)

So blogging about Christmas and New Years is going to have to wait because
SCOTTI PROPOSED!!!
It's kind of a big deal:)
I met Scotti November 4th 2009, on my 17th birthday while Scotti was on his mission.
He started writing me when he got transferred to Pleasant Grove and the Salt Lake mission was split in two.
He asked if he could call me his "girl back home" on August 9, 2010... 8/9/10:) I happily said I'd be delighted:)
I traveled to North Carolina on August 12, 2011, a couple weeks after Scotti got off his mission.
We played the long distance game until December 19th, when I made the move to North Carolina:)
I got to spend Christmas and the New Year with the love of my life, and got my very first true love's New Years kiss at midnight:):)
On January 3rd, my sister Kylie's birthday and the day that Scotti's sister had her baby boy, Dallin Cole, Scotti took me to the place where we went to dinner on our first real date, Texas Steakhouse in Smithfield, NC.
We were seated in the perfect spot, right before we ordered he stood up, and shouted, "Excuse me everybody!" My heart jumped and my face turned the color of my hair. All the waiters and waitresses surrounded the area we were sitting and customers around us turned to get a peek. After he had everyone's eyes, he got down on one knee and said, "Jaycie... I want the whole world to know how much I love you and that it's strong and that I'm so proud of it. I know I screw up a lot, but I love you and I want to spend the rest of eternity with you. Will you marry me?" As I'm bawling my eyes out and girls are awwwwing and cooing, I kissed him on the lips and all I could do was nod my head. He slipped the ring on my finger and everyone applauded:) Someone screamed that we should get a picture but both of us had left our phones in the car... Haha ironic right?! So a random, wonderful woman took our picture and we gave the my phone number so we could get the picture.

We ate our delicious meal and compliments of the manager, they brought out a delicious dessert for us to share:) He took me bowling after, and it was our lucky night because it was 25 cents a game!!! We played 8 games and sat in massage chairs together at the bowling alley:) BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE:)
Thank you Scotti for creating the perfect start!
(Plus the ring is beautiful:))

The CHANGE.

Because most of you know about my missionary (for those of you who don't... He's my tall, blue-eyed, blonde-haired, dream boy:)) I'm gonna skip the explaination for WHY I moved out here to the east coast. Yes, call me cliche', love struck, or what you will, but I'm very very VERY happy where I stand:)


I moved out here just before Chirstmas and got to spend it with Scotti:) I loved every minute but missed the fam a bunch. I wanted to make sure the move was for myself, and that this would be a huge growing adventure for me... so I found a cute little family to be a live in nanny for:) I babysit an (almost) two-year-old named Khimanie who is CRAZY BUSY all day long! I now know the meaning of terrible twos.... but she's ADORABLE.




My room is comfortable, roomy, and cute:) The house is very nice and they feed me well... Sometimes a little TOO well.. This southern food is going to make me CHUBB-AAAAA. Mark my words... Especially with Miss Sally makin all her chicken and mashed potatoes:) I've found out my favorite part of southern culture is how children always answer to their mother with a "Yes ma'am.." :) Gotta love southern hospitality:)



Everything is a LOT different and I still have a lot to get used to.. but I'm getting the hang of things! I will give some more DEETS about Christmas and New Years when I get a moment:) I miss you all and am stalking everyone on Facebook so I can keep tabs:) Happy New Year!
