Proposal From the Best Guy Ever!

Today in the life,
I am finally able to just hang out at home and relax. After the USHER concert I still had to go back to school and finish 2 projects. Needless to say I got back home at 5am. Woke up at 7:30am to get my son ready for school, dropped him off and headed to school myself til 5pm. I crashed out for 3 hours and had to write up one more report. Man it was a tough week haha. I didn't even get the chance to post about how amazing my man was on Saturday!

So I took my son to my mama's and because the whole family was home, we decided to put up Christmas decorations outside the house and put up the tree. Well my man called and decided he would come over and help. Well that was awesome all on its own.

Anyways he an I left back home and my son stood the night at my mom's. We hadn't ate dinner yet so we left to get something to eat. Well he started driving farther than usual (I was like that's weird) but I hadn't really been able to hang out with him alone in a while so I just went with it. So he pulls into a parking lot by our favorite hotel and said he wanted to walk around. Well they have a beautiful large pond with a water fountain and lights all around. It is a very romantic place. Well he reminded me that one of our first dates was when we walked around this pond (it's right next to the movie theater), and I immediately remembered how much fun we had at 16 here (laughing and not knowing where our lives were going to take us).

He said," we have been through a lot, and I think we could go through a lot more." I smiled and looked towards him as he dropped down to one knee and asked me to marry him. OMG it was sooo exciting and meant so much!!

See he had proposed to me back when we were 16 after we had found out we were having a baby. I said yes then and 9 years later I said yes again. He said I deserved a real proposal and that he still felt the same as he did back then. He is the best, and being teenage parents and going through high school and college and entering the workforce, it has definitely been an adventure. I am so grateful to have such an amazing man in my life, who supports me in being a chemical engineer and never doubting me and my ability to go to college and still be a a great mom and wife to be.

I hope all you ladies and gents find an amazing partner that will go through the thick and thin and will always support you and your dreams!

Mines Football

Today in the life,
My fiance, best friend and I went to watch the Colorado School of Mines football playoff game. It was awesome. I have attended this school for 5 years and have never had the chance to go to a college football game. So I was estatic this morning lol. This was one of the things I wanted to do befor I graduated and I did it. Item crossed off the bucketlist.  Oh and you bet I actually have a bucketlist, do you? I don't plan on wasting my life on things I hate. So I have things like bunji jumping, jumping out of a plane, and riding a hot air baloon to name a few. Other include traveling all over the world! Life is amazing, don't take it for granted :)

BTW we went to see MockingJay Part 1 and I was a little dissapointed. I mean I know they always save the amazing parts for Part 2 but still. Anywho Peta looked crazy! Let me know what you guys thought of the movie and if you have anything on your bucketlist that I should add to mine lol. Have an amazing day!

Brrrr...It's Cold Outside

Today in the life,
I had two exams for one class. A written portion on enzymes and heat exchangers, then a computer portion using Polymath. Grueling day,  except that Golden, CO saw it's first snow today of the 2014-2015 school year. Boy did it come down. Soft, white snowflakes drizzled down outside the window, falling graciously until it stuck to the grass outside. Such an amazing site to see. I love the snow and everything that comes with it. Wrapping up in a blanket, cuddling on the couch and watching netflix all day with some hot cocoa....amazing. From the forecast, looks like it's going to be chilly all week.  I guess I better buy a scarf and gloves :)
How is the weather in your city?

Have an amazing week!

The most exciting time of the year!

Tree of Color: Fall, when the colors of change are upon us.
By: Crystal Lobato

Today in the life,

I have been thinking about Fall and what that means... my son will be turning 8 this year!!!OMG 8 years OLD! Which means I will be 25! Hmmm... a quarter of a century this year. To be honest I was a little sad that I was already going to be 25 and my little boy is growing up before my eyes everyday with his own personality and likes and dislikes. It's absolutely amazing to watch your child grow into an amazing little person. Well... I was first sad and then realized that the last 25 years have been such an adventure! I can't remember ever having a dull moment. I lived my life happy in those 25 years and I can only wait and see what the next 25 years has in store for me!

Many people love that I am so optimistic and I love it too, because nobody wants to live a sad boring life and honestly it will only be sad and boring if you see it that way.

I was pregnant at 16yrs old. I graduated high school in the top of my class. I was accepted into one of the best engineering colleges in the USA. I have been with my fiancé for over 8 years! I am a senior preparing to graduate with my bachelor's degree in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering in May of 2015. So all in all I have to say I have had an amazing ride so far. Thanks to my friends and family, life has been absolutely excellent! Now your homework is, to list at least 7 things that are amazing in your life 😊 Why 7? Well because 7 is my favorite number.

Anyways, besides birthday fun and madness, my anniversary is coming up and who can forget Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas! My favorite holidays ever! Super excited for Fall and Winter.

*Side note: nervous for career day at school next week. Eeeeeeek 300 companies looking for engineers and everyone practically tackling the recruiters for their attention haha. Wish me luck!

Much love,
❤Crystal
