<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Being a recent college graduate who lived in dorm housing and my husband being a Air Force Officer who had become accustom to living out of a bag for the past few years; we never accumulated a lot of furniture and the furniture we did commandeer isn't exactly in pristine condition....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I decided to give our dining room table a face lift!</div>

This table apparently belonged to Stu's old college roommates grandmother. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After they moved out of college...somehow Stu claimed ownership. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I would like to say thank you Grandma, for your precious contribution to our </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
humble beginnings as a married couple. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The chairs are not even matching pieces to the set. The table top is actually two wing pieces.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can drop the wings down or prop them up to make the large table top surface you see in the picture. The problem, obviously, is that both chairs can't slid-in comfortably under </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the table (as shown, because they hit the table legs) and the chairs can't fit under/between </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the legs at the facing end (in the picture). But we will work with what we've got!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
the awful stains on the fabric. gross.</div>

December - My husband embarked on a 70 deployment. My parents came to New Jersey to spend Christmas and New Years with me! We watched the ball drop in Time Square to celebrate the New Year. Megan, one of my dearest and oldest friends, came to visit me and we spent 2 days in New York City to see the Broadway show of Wicked!<br />

With Stu's passion, excellence, and ambition in what he does every day, I'm sure we will go far. He is the most amazing man I have ever met. He ALWAYS has a smile on his face and a positive attitude, no matter his circumstances. He always strives to be the best, never turns down an opportunity to learn something new, and constantly looks for way to improve himself as a man of God, a soon-to-be husband, a pilot, and a friend. Can you tell I'm obsessed with this man? ;) Throughout our travels we have quickly come to realize that we must be able to count on each other, lean on each other, and balance each other. Which I think we do an excellent job of all the above. :)</span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #134f5c;"><br />

</div><div>She was the sweetest old lady. She stopped me while walking out of church on sunday morning to compliment my hair. She walked slowly with my fiancé and I out to the parking lot; and explained the damage on the back bumper of her car. She told us that she thought the pole was supposed to move; didn't it know that she couldn't see it. </div><div><br />
</div><div>She loves her car, even though it is old and faded, with a couple of dings and dents. She even said with a smile "it kind of looks like me", and sure enough, her blouse matched the color of her trusty ride. </div><div><br />
</div><div>She looked at our young faces and told us how she had lost her husband 16 years ago. Her instructions to us were to smile a lot and love each other every single moment, as if it were our last. </div><div><br />
</div><div>She was a tiny little lady, standing next to me she only came up to my chin, and I'm 5'3". Her little boney hands grabbed mine without any hesitation. She was precious. She was radiant and even though I had just met this woman, I loved her as if she were my own family. She had wrinkles on her face and soft eyes. She was the sweetest old lady. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Sometimes people come into our lives and they don't stay very long, but they have an impact on our day. </div><div><br />

I am engaged to a truly remarkable man. He is the man I have dreamed of since I was a little girl and he makes me feel like a princess every single day. He is an amazing </span></span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">man of God, a pilot, and a Captain(sel) in the United States Air Force. He is currently on a temporary duty to Altus AFB, OK for C-17 pilot training. This man is my hero and never does anything short of perfection; so why would the day he asks me to marry him be any different?<br />
<br />
Friday, March 4th 2011, I was awoken at 7:30 a.m. to a good morning kiss from my sweet boy. I look down to find a perfectly placed single stem red rose in my arms. He looked at me and smiled saying, "I want to give you this rose. I love you because I think you are perfect!" My heart melts and he continues to tell me that throughout the day I will be getting a total of seven roses. He next surprised me with breakfast in bed. After we cuddle together for a few minutes, he informs me that we have a busy day ahead of us and I need to get up and get ready. I jump up out of bed and immediately get showered and dressed for the day. He tells me we are doing something special today, so I should dress in something warm, something I could get dirty, something that I would be comfortable in and of course, something cute. As we are ready to walk out the door I notice that my phone is missing. Starting to panic, he eases my mind and says that we will look for it when we come back and that I wouldn't need it anyways. So around 9:15 a.m. we head out together to see what he has in store for us!<br />
<br />
We drive about 15 minutes from the Air Force Base and park next to a large building that looks like a warehouse or something. I have no idea where we are or what we might be doing until we pull around the corner of the building and there is a sign that reads "Aviation Rental." My stomach drops and my heart starts pounding even more! We walk to the front of the building and there is a small one propeller engine airplane; later to find out its called a Cesna 172. He looks at me and says, "We are gonna go fly that!" My mouth is gapping open as I can not believe what we are about to do! All I can think is … my mom is going to kill me when she finds out what we did! :) We walk over to the aircraft and Stu opens the passenger door and on the passenger seat is a single red rose (rose #2). He turns around, hands me the rose and says "I love you because you have faith, in God and in me." With my life literally in his hands, we board our aircraft after running through all the preflight checklists and safety checks. The rental operator comes out to the aircraft before starting and hands Stu an envelope and says, "It might be a little bumpy up there…" Unbeknown to me, it was a puke bag, luckily, I did not have to use it! We are sitting side-by-side in this itty-bitty cockpit, practically bumping elbows. We have our head sets on and are able to talk to each other as well as other aircraft. He pulls the airplane out onto the runway and we take off into the sky (wild blue yonder)! It was the most thrilling experience ever! From the cockpit, you could see for miles in all directions; the sun was bright that morning and the clouds were lightly scattered around us. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; color: #0000ee; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: normal;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588633932301110642" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEEfSKYps_2F0J7ToOzFZGRNapfWtIOkZDVciYBksdtBOKO5poJEtYtDhySnMU3UEsN5hkQc4h8bnt0-5yd6cmWLbgit4rDeydPBOD6q9r6yCCPfMZQIr4yi0WbmPUk_FmrcNiSLmuHn4/s320/SUC53316.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 240px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /></span>Suddenly, the air-traffic-controller comes over the radios and notifies us that there is a heavy aircraft that just departed a nearby airfield and to be advised of its direction and altitude. Stu and I look over and flying right next to us is this triumphant, glorious C-17 Globemaster III pointed nose up with a steep banked turn. Stu yells "That's my plane!” It was so cool to be sharing the sky with such a fantastic looking aircraft that completely dwarfs the size of our aircraft. Soaring right at eye level with it was unbelievable. During our flight, Stu even let me take over the controls for a little while. With his guidance, I was able to fly the plane in a couple circles and maintained my altitude all by myself! Wow! It was unreal! The next thing I know we are flying over Lake Altus and he asks me to look out the window and to see if I recognize anything, and I did stating, "That is where we had dinner on Valentine's Day!” I can see the Lake Altus Quartz Mountain Resort and the bridge leading across one of the bays to the concert hall. He continues to fly all around the lake and asks if I see a trail that is along the water. I think I see the path he is talking about, as we further clarify which one, it is going out to one of the peninsulas on the lake. He asks if I see anything down there just off the trail… I begin looking more intently, but I'm not seeing anything out of the ordinary. He is now acting determined to go investigate and see if we can discover what he has noticed off the trail. After about an hour and fifteen minutes airborne, we decide to head back to the airport we had taken off from. We landed about 11 o’clock, and after a quick post flight inspection, we hopped into the Tahoe and headed out toward the lake to check out that trail.<br />
<br />
We arrived at Lake Altus, parked the SUV and could see the water directly in front of us near the resort. Getting out of the Tahoe, I exclaimed, "This is exciting! We are going on an adventure." (Such is our lives). We saw some cement stairs that lead down to the water and decided to wonder down to take a look. As we headed down the stairs, I saw on the last step near the water was a single red rose (rose #3). He picks it up and we take a seat on the stairs. Stu hands me the rose and says "I love you because you go on adventures with me!" <span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; color: #0000ee; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: normal;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588634384010381138" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO4x-oUlXuDtp4MOsVwyQTKVhqGia7dVLG4QtqcO5azjm38TElJJRcLRCW03Lm_O91fRcsLc-hW6ogpjZq8t7MCRJTCSY9hRHg0Vl5gm-OckFIK4gIY_wHO_xG-RluAlJn16hAJ2ddyNU/s320/SUC53349.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 320px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center; width: 240px;" /></span>We enjoy the moment and the scenery, and I remember that we still have to check out that trail. We then start to make our way across the bridge to find that mysterious path. We find the trail entrance and walk down a paved sidewalk that hugs the side of the mountain surrounding the lake. The trail is lined with trees and greenery making our walk very private and very beautiful. We continue our walk until the path reaches a dead-end. Stu insisted that if we venture off the path a little bit we might find what he was looking for from the air. Holding my hand and taking our time so that I didn't trip on the rocks or step on a cactus, we slowly made our way through the shrubbery and trees. We came upon an opening in the trees and when I looked up, I saw our hammock hung between two trees with a blanket spread out and a picnic blanket on it. I started crying because it was such a precious setting that he had somehow set up for us. In the picnic blanket was our lunch and champagne glasses with sparkling cider. Also inside the basket was a framed picture taken of us at Valentine’s Day and of course, a single red rose (rose #4). We stroll pass the hammock to venture down to the water’s edge. Stu says, "I could have sworn that I saw something reflecting down here." He is looking around for a little while and when I was adjusting my hair, I noticed Stu was bending over like he was picking something up off the ground. He said "I found what I was looking for, let’s go back to the hammock." I knew that something was happening as this day was just too perfect to not suspect that he had something up his sleeve, or rather, in his pocket. We return and got into the hammock and just relaxed for a little while enjoying the view and our time together. He asked if I would like something to drink and he hopped out of the hammock. As I sat up, I noticed that he was on one knee. Instead of grabbing the sparkling cider, he grabbed the rose from the basket and my hearts began to race. He gives me the rose and says, "I love you because I know you'll say yes…" He pulls out the most amazing ring I have ever seen in my whole life and says "Brittany, WILL YOU MARRY ME?" I manage to get the words "Yes, of course I will," out as my eyes are blurry with joyful tears. He places the ring on my finger, sweeps me up in his arms, and we share our first kiss as an engaged couple. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; color: #0000ee; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: normal;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588634639443707410" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOoWvvdz-nZo65lEzGdktSbuAz1ntXFGY8YEJqid-gmLB9ItJ_fYKPDStLt9qf7Sc5kBx_rsTVJAsNPpuobXJka5dosvfy7MP5tyqA3bP_lKj3WAIyaxV05IYdpq6zNXI9_lDJqViGNnk/s320/SUC53351.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 241px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /></span>My heart is beating so fast, I feel like it is about to explode out of my chest. I can't stop looking at this dazzling ring and this gorgeous guy of mine! It is a beautiful one carte marquise center diamond with two pear shaped side diamonds. He goes on to explain the significance of the ring. He points out that the ring is three pieces and in the shape of a cross. The large center stone is symbolic of God being the most important part and the center of our relationship. The two smaller side stones represent us and how we are brought together by God. Everything is so perfect in every single way. He says "This ring is flawless and unique, just like you." It is breathtaking! It was so emotional! It was perfect and unforgettable! I am still in complete shock and the ring is even more beautiful, knowing what it represents, than anything I could ever imagine. As we enjoyed our picnic for a few more moments, Stu reminded me that there were a total of seven roses and I still had three left! We packed up our picnic and head back to the apartment to get ready Stu told, "We have reservations at fice-thirty in Oklahoma City;" which is about a 2 and a half hour drive away. Once we get back to the apartment, I immediately put on one of my cutest dresses with a light cover-up, I'm ready to go! …after spending another hour on my hair of course ;) Before we walk out the door I again ask Stu if he has seen my phone because I want to share my excitement with my mom and all my girl friends! He says he's not sure where it is, but that we could look for it when we got back because we needed to hit the road if we were going to make our reservations. So I forget about my missing phone and around three o’clock we are on the road toward Oklahoma City.<br />
<br />
I have the unbelievably gorgeous ring on my finger and I can't stop looking at it! We spend the two and a half hour drive talking about our future and making plans for our BIG day! As we near Oklahoma City, I didn't really notice that we were driving toward the airport. As we drive into the airport parking lot, I look up at him and say "Baaabee…why are we at the airport?” He parks the car and says, "You haven't gotten a rose in awhile so I would like to give you another one now…" he opens the center consul of the Tahoe and inside is a single red rose (#5). He hands it to me and says, “I love you because you let me be sneaky…" I laugh because the whole "sneaky" thing is an inside joke between the two of us whenever he tries to surprise me. He reaches up to the dashboard of the SUV and pulls out two boarding passes and asks me, "How would you like to go surprise your parents in Phoenix? I told you that we had reservations!" I'm now literally in shock! How in the world did he pull all of this together? I'm overwhelmed and so excited to be able to go home and see my family! What a joy to be able to tell them the BIG NEWS in person!? Stu reaches behind my seat and says, "Well, my bags are packed," as he grabs his backpack. I wasn't upset because i have too many clothes at home as it is. We start walking through the airport security and I have nothing with me but the clothes on my back. Then I asked him…."Do you have my phone?!"…"Of course I have your phone Babe, and don't worry I packed your charger, too." Now I know even more just how thoughtful he is!</span></span></span></span><br />

We find our seats on the airplane and the man sitting next to us leans over to Stu and asks, "Are you guys newly weds?". Stu tells him "Actually, we are newly engaged"…and I pop in and added, " . . . as of today!" The man smiles at me and says "I can tell, because you are both glowing, neither of you have stopped smiling, and she has not stopped looking at that ring!" An older lady who is sitting behind us overhears us talking and we begin to tell these people bits and pieces of our day so far. In our conversations they ask more about us and learn that Stu is an Air Force pilot and recently returned from a deployment to Afghanistain for six and a half months while we were dating. The lady says "Well if you've been to Afghanistain you have my heart too!" Bless her heart, she starts crying and, of course, I start tearing up, too. The people around us are all smiles and congratulating us on our engagement. It was another wonderful moment of the day as we continue our celebration with strangers.<br />
<br />
We land in Phoenix, Arizona at 8:30 p.m. Stu asks me if I think my parents will still be awake, since we plan to surprise them. I told him that they might be asleep, but that they were going to get woken up regardless with our exciting news! My mom and dad will both be so surprised to see us and hear all about everything. I ask Stu how he plans to get from the airport to my house and he says that we will just hail a taxi. As we walk out to the curbside I see a man holding a sign which reads Mr. & Mrs. Renz. My mouth drops open because the driver is standing in front of a big white stretch limo! How does this day continue to get better and better!? The driver opens the door and sitting on the seat of the limo is a single red rose (rose #6). We get into the limo and my tears start flowing again. Stu hands me the rose and says "I love you because you are beautiful!" We sit right next to each other, even though we have this entire limo to ourselves! :)<br />

The limo pulls up to my house, all the lights are off and only my mom's minivan is in the driveway. I'm sure that my parents are in bed by now because it is now 9:15 p.m. As we walk toward the front door, Stu grabs my hand and says "What would make this day even better?" and I say "This day is perfect, I couldn't ask for anything more." He says "But if you could have it all, what else would you want" and I looked at him and said, "…for everyone to be here…" He opens the front door to my house and ushers me inside… the lights flip on! Everyone jumps to the their feet and yells, "CONGRATULATIONS!" Everyone is there! My mom and dad, my brother and his fiancée, my best friends and their husbands, my sorority sisters, my grandparents, and two of Stu's brothers flew from Washington State to be there! I was speechless. I was full of emotions and so happy!! I couldn't even make words come out of my mouth. I was in awe! I hugged my wonderful fiancé and squeezed him as hard as I could. He has just made my every dream come true. This day was remarkable and a day that I will NEVER forget.<br />

We walked into my house and my Mom and girlfriends had the whole place decorated. We had cake, food, sparkling cider, and desserts everywhere! It was the best engagement party a girl could ask for! We sat down in the living room with all my friends and family and told the most epic engagement story ever told….but wait! There is still one more rose left! After the night started to wind-down and everyone had gone home Stu pulled me upstairs into my bed room. He asked me to sit down on my bed. He pulled out a single red rose (rose #7). He sat next to me on my bed and said "I love you because….you're mine." I cried again… my heart is overflowing with love and happiness! This man, Stewart Joseph Renz, is now my fiancé and I am his! I'm the luckiest girl in the whole world and I'm so blessed that he would do all of this…for me.<br />
<br />
7 is God's number. It is a Biblical number of perfection, I see now why there was a total of 7 roses. This was beyond the most perfect day of my life. It was as if every dream came true all at the same moment. I am head-over-heels in love with this terrific guy and I am so excited to be able to share our story with you. It is only the beginning…of an amazing life-long adventure. Wherever he goes, I'm happy to be his cute and adoring co-pilot. :)</span></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

Then, I immediately started preparing for tonights dinner. The original guest list was 2, just him and I. And then we thought we should invite Stu's flying buddy Jeremy over... but Dan and his wife are in town to so we should invite them too... this process continued until about mid-morning when Stu told me to expect like 10 people! I certainly did not plan for 10! So I had a little bit of a freak-out moment, going "I don't have enough meat!" -- "I don't have enough sweet potatoes!". To help easy my mind the birthday boy took me grocery shopping again...</div>
<div>
In trying to plan for this little shindig I had managed to take trips to the grocery store everyday for the last 4 days making sure I was fully prepared, and still he throws me a curve-ball-change-of-plans! I was planning to make mashed sweet potatoes with all the buttery and cinnamon goodness whipped up inside the dish, but Stu informs me, that same day, that he wants baked sweet potatoes, not mashed. Another swift alteration needed to be made, but I continued to move diligently, because I wanted everything to be just the way he likes it for his birthday. </div>

Just to make things a bit more interesting/entertaining/chaotic the kitchen in his apartment on base is a joke. It is seriously the size of the playhouse kitchen set I had when I was a toddler. So I have limited space for everything. Oh and did I mention we don't have a oven. Which is an obstacle I knew ahead of time and was prepared to work around, but with more people I needed more space. In an attempt to help fix this new dilemma, Stu asked Jeremy if we could cook and have the party at his place. Jeremy kindly agreed and said that we were more than welcome to do whatever we needed over at his place. Jeremy is also living on base, but his family visits him on the weekends so he has a much nicer and much bigger living arrangements. The best part though...is that for the last week or so Jeremy has been staying in a Best Western in town because the running water doesn't work in his base housing. Awesome. He assured me that the oven and electric and everything works but I just can't wash anything or use the bathroom. :) ha! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I had started cooking my BBQ ribs in the slow-cooker at Stu's apartment around 9 a.m. and after finding out that Stu was requesting baked potatoes I had to flip the script on that recipe a little bit too. I washed the potatoes. Instead of using all the ingredients I had bought to mix into the (mashed) potatoes, I mixed them separately to make a delicious sweet and cinnamon butter, which had to let set and cool after I mixed it. Because we had to run to the grocery store and get more meat I had to quickly cook more ribs on a skillet and toss them in with my already slow-cooking ribs in the Crock-Pot. We had enough meat to feed a small village!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So after shopping for last minute necessities and transporting my entire kitchen to Jeremy's kitchen, I was ready to get this show on the road!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now at Jeremy's, it was about 4 p.m., I started immediately on my sweet potatoes. I coated them in Virgin Olive Oil, wrapped my cooking sheet in tin foil and popped them into the oven right away! These sweet potatoes were HUGE, I'm talking potatoes on steroids! We had six potatoes total and decided to cut them in half before serving. With the potatoes getting all warm and delicious in the oven I moved on to my fruit salad. This was the fruit salad of all fruit salads! At Stu's request this fruit salad was comprised of apples, bananas, kiwi, strawberries, pineapple, peaches, mangos, blueberries, and mandarin oranges, served tossed in a strawberry pudding! It was delicious and I made a ton of it! </div>

Things got a little frantic when I looked at the clock and it was 5:30. People are coming over at 6:00 and in a tizzy to get everything going I haven't even started getting ready! Thankfully I had showered earlier that morning, but I was still in sweats and my hair look like a hot mess! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I popped a couple bags of frozen veggie steamers in the microwave and let those heat up, while I quickly tried to tame my mane, fix my face, and dress myself. While getting ready I continued to check on my sweet potatoes and they were still hard. I started to panic because guest would be showing up any minute! I realized this was a desperate moment and I need a lifeline, so I called my mom. She told me that they just need a little more time in the oven and I should probably crank up the heat. I also cut them in half at this time to make sure the middle of the potatoes were getting cooked throughly. I shoved those potatoes back in the oven and threw my steamed vegetables into a serving bowl. Everything was coming together. </div>

People started walking through the door at 6ish and my potatoes were getting soft. It was great timing. Everyone sat around the living room and visited with each other for a little while. During this time I had to spread some garlic butter over my texas toast and warm those up in the oven. It only took a few minutes for the bread to golden and everything was ready to serve! </div>

He has faithfully provided and guided me through good and the bad times in the past. He has shown me the light at the end of the tunnel when things seemed hopeless. He has assured me that I can trust him no matter what obstacles may come my way. He has used me to be a blessing to other people. He has spoken to me in the stillness of my heart and brought me a sense of peace. He has brought me unlimited joy and happiness. He has brought me to my knees to submit myself and bring me focus back to him. He has touched my soul and rejuvenated my spirit. He has shown me his miracles. And I have faith that He will do all these things again in the future. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">Looking forward, I have big dreams for what is to come and only God can make these dreams come true.
