The Begining...

Hi guys, My name is Samantha Shepard, I am new to Blogging and super excited to begin. Lets start with a little bit of History about little old me :)
I am 20 years old and love my life, I have amazing friends and family. I love softball, and miss it dearly, but the true love of my life is my Fiance' Mr. Kyle Gannon. we met when I was a freshman and he was a sophmore in highschool, we began dating on October 27, 2006.

Me and my friends made some decorations and decorated his truck.. haha, it was a lot of fun we were young, and we had been "talking" for what seemed like a long time, and I thought he knew that I liked him, but I guess you can never  be too sure, so I wanted to make sure that he knew.

He finaly got the hint. hahaha, and like I said we officialy began dating on October 27, 2006. Since then we have enjoyed five years together, it wasn't the easiest five years, but we love eachother and our love got us through a lot.! : ) We like to spend our pass time riding four wheelers, hanging out with friends, and sometimes just being lazy together.! On our 5 year anniversary Kyle got us a hotel room in Galveston at the San Louis Resort. it was beautiful.

This was the view from our balcony. I can honestly say Galveston had never looked so pretty, God must have made it look pretty just for my anniversary.! : )
Kyle's manager had told us about this really "good" restraunt that was down there off the seawall.. and we went there, but it looked really sketchy hahaha. So we went to the Reinforest Cafe' instead:

It was both our first times to eat there, and we loved it, it was soo much fun, and our waitress was awesome.! We sat right by the elephants, and I smiled everytime they started to move, I felt like a little kid at Chuck E. Cheese hahaha.
That night when we got back to the hotel, Kyle Popped the question it was beautiful, and completely unexpected.. he tricked me by giving me my "anniversary present" at the restraunt, which were charms, and they were beautiful... but after recieving my so called present, I remember thinking that I was just going to have to propose to him one day ; )

We have been happily engaged now for a little more than 2 months hahaha.. no big plans yet, I did go to the Bridal Extravaganza with my Bridesmaids, and we all like the wedding date: April 27,2013 but nothing is set in stone yet, me and Kyle would like to get a house and settle in a little bit first, but I will deffinately keep everyone up to date on wedding plans and more.!
