...being engaged, so far.

DEAR, SWEET,

WEDDING OF MINE...

I wish to write you a little note wedding, to tell you how much fun you are to plan. Also however, I wish to tell you that you are tad bit stressful... and ask for your help from here on out. Let's have everything work out? yes?

Thanks wedding, sure do love ya!

So it's been about a week now that we have been engaged! The plans are coming along nicely, after a few road blocks (one of them being a 4700 dollar wedding dress, that I so childishly thought was acceptable to even desire.) I however found a dress yesterday, that was not only VERY similar to the other, but cost 4000 dollars less! I will now shamefully admit, that my mother wins. Way to go Cammie D, another victory has now been obtained. I love the dress (which is even harder to admit to my mother ha ha) and I am so happy to have found it.

We set our temple date!

March 10th, 2010.. and we will be sealed for time and all eternity in the Bountiful Utah LDS Temple

this temple is really special to Patrick. He works for a soccer club that is based in Bountiful, and has spent many hours coaching in the parks in the city many of which can be lit by it's glow at night. It is truly beautiful!

The girls have ordered their bridesmaids dresses, I think they're stunning. I hope you girls all like them...if you don't.. I will buy yours after the wedding ha ha.

The hall in booked in Michigan! I am beyond excited about this, my amazing parents have booked us Petruzzellos banquet hall for our ring ceremony and reception. This place may just make every girls dreams come true, just throwing it out there. Not bragging, just trying to express how gracious I am for my wonderful parents and their exceptional attention to detail and high end taste. Believe me, when they showed me this I asked them if they were playing a joke. PS- if you are playing a joke...Dad....you've crossed the line.

As for us, we are two happy love birds. I am so happy to understand how "it" really feels.

So let the coundown begin...

ENGAGED!

We're engaged!

Patrick asked me to marry him on Sunday, November 29th!
and of course I said yes! It was a total surprise and I think I'm still in a little bit of shock...I can tell you I have been on cloud 9 ever since Sunday morning!
The proposal was perfect and the time we spent at home with my family was all that I could have hoped for.
I am engaged to the most wonderful man in the world. I feel so incredibly blessed, and I could not be happier. I can't believe I get to spend the rest of FOREVER with him! I will write a longer more detailed post soon but I just wanted to get all the family filled in!

Love you guys!
Danielle Dudek Muhlberger

on my mind...

This week has been a great one, interesting, busy and amazing. I have things in my head right now that I must jot down.

1.Patrick Stefan Muhlberger, I love you.
I don't know what I did to deserve to be blessed with such an amazing man, and I pray and thank the Lord every single night because of it. We are going to Michigan tomorrow to spend Thanksgiving with my family. I can't explain the amount of joy and happiness he brings to me with everyday that passes. He is my soul mate, who fulfills every dream I have ever had. I know he will never probably read this, but in case he does I want him to know. I love you babe, you're my dreams come true and I can't wait to spend forever with you. You make me who I always hoped to be, and accept me for who I have been, and who I have become.

2. MICHIGAN!
We will be landing at 9pm tomorrow in Michigan, and I can honestly say I have never been this excited to go home. I wish more then anything that we could move back there. I would have never in a million years expected to hear that come out of my mouth but, it's true. Michigan is just, home. I can't even think about how amazing it would be with be living there again with Patrick and have my life back with Mandi and Alyse and be all "grown up" Ahhhhhhh....I can dream!

3.Job
I got a job (full time) at The Utah Department of Occupational and Professional Licensing. I started Monday and so far, so great. It's an amazing job, one i'm not sure I'm really qualified for but will willingly take! I will be starting full time after the semester is over and then trying to sqeeze classes in at night. I think it's a good step, and the right thing to do. I have a feeling I should be working next semester and saving money...maybe something is in store for me ;o)

4.Grandma
Grandma Betty has started to undergo her chemo for her colon cancer. She went to the hospital today to have a port put in, so they can administer the chemo. It breaks my heart knowing she is going through this, and especially more that I'm so far away. As I said, I would give anything to be living at home again.

5.Happiness
I can't remember a time in my life I have ever been this happy. I have always been a happy person and for the most part tried to not let the bad things get me down, but I think inside I struggled with some of my own hang ups and depressions. I have felt totally alive in the last 2 and a half months (much due to a certain someone) but all in all my happiness level is beyond what I could have hoped for. I am finally being myself here in Utah. For the frist two years I wore a fake face, I pretended to be someone I was not and I wondered why I was so so depressed all the time. I decided i'm going to stop hiding Danielle Dudek and let her be heard, if people in Utah can't handle it or don't like her then too bad so sad. I no longer believe I have to hide behind a mask just because I decided to be a member of the church. I was raised different, my family is a bit rough around the edges, so am I. I make jokes that people here probably would judge me for, go ahead and do it. I know what is in my heart and that is pure love for the Savior, my boyfriend, family, friends, and finally...myself. Amen, and glory be to God!

6. NEW
New hair color, thank heavens. While it was fun being a blonde for a month, I much prefer my hair brown.

alrighty, well bed time it is. And tomorrow...Patrick enteres the point of no return. Meet, The Dudek's.

love you all!

SWOOOOOOOSH

Rush U14 Swoosh!

This past monday his U14 girls got down to the last game of the outdoor season

which just so happened to be the "A" (Nike team) Verse the "B" (swoosh team)

Patrick had really been worrying that it would come down to this situation. Worrying because it's a horrible situation to be in. If any of you have experience with club soccer there are sometimes A and B teams. The A team is commonly known as the "better" team, by soccer standards but I don't really agree. Anyway, Patrick is the coach for the swoosh team. This year was their first year in the league ABOVE division 1. They had an amazing season, I would know because I came to almost every practice and did attend all games but one. The Nike team, didn't have too great of a season. It happens. In the end the last game came down to Nike V Swoosh. 

AKA- a soccer clubs nightmare. 

The Nike team needed to beat the Swoosh team in order to stay up in this league, if they lost OR tied they would be moved down.

Loong story short, 

Patrick's team kept the game 0-0 all of the first half (way to go girls) in the mid of the second half, they scored! we knew this would make the Nike girls turn on the heat, and it did. They scored with four minutes remaining in the game. As I said earlier in the post all they needed was to Tie, and the Nike girls would be moved down and they would stay up in the league. After the most intense 4 minutes of soccer I have ever witnessed the game ended

In a tie!

To be clear it's not that we're happy about the Nike girls moving down, it's never good in a club to have contention. I am simply happy with the success of the girls. Whom ever they would have played, and the end result been them staying up after all their hard work, that would have been just as happy. I am just so proud of Patrick's girls, and of my amazing boyfriend. They have worked their butts off and they played that game at their absolute finest. I was so impressed.

It's safe to say soccer has taken over my life and I love it!

Hi! I'm Danielle, and I spend my Friday nights blogging and facebook stalking!

It's Friday evening, 

7:35 PM to be exact

and

Patrick is asleep on the couch 

Which I am absolutely fine with, 

just as a disclaimer :o)

He has had a pretty stressful couple weeks

He and I have both been SO tired lately.

For those who know me best, you know that me being tired is rare however as I grow older my sleep patterns are becoming more normal (glory be to God) I'm even starting to nap! I know huh! amazing.

Anyway, he's asleep so I took this time to tend to a few of my many addictions, ever so fervently.

1. Facebook stalking

2. blogging.

3. obsessing over anorexic skinny celebs. 

...YES, I am aware there is something wrong with me

I am still going to tend to Gossip Girl, don't worry.

I have a website I look at all the time, don't judge me (or do) it's called the skinny website. I mostly look at it for the glorious fashion of todays hollywood elite BUT, the random malnourished girls at times catch my attention as well.

Again, I'm aware I'm not normal.

Lindsey Lohan was spotted at LAX Wednesday, wearing a somewhat see through shirt... and an absolute haggard head of extensions

mmmmkay?

 Love the colombine boots, oh oh and the stunna shades very..grungy chic? 

(do note sarcasm)

Love ya Linds....

(I really do love Lindsey Lohan)
