Welcome to Life at the Hale's!!!
A glimpse into the life of the Hale Family as seen through the eyes of the 21-yr-old daughter: 1 Daddy + 1 Mommy + 8 children + 2-soon-to-be 3 siblings-in-law + 1 Grandmother + 1 niece + 1 nephew on the way = A pretty crazy life, but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world!!! :)

Goodbye...
The day has come. I won't be posting on this blog anymore. I'll leave it up, though. Samuel and I are getting married in just 44 days(!!!!!!), and we have our own blog now, and as I won't be a 'Hale' anymore, it didn't make sense to try to keep up with two blogs....Maybe we can convince either Sarah or Hannah to start one to keep y'all up with what's going on in the Hale family....and entitle it, "Life Without Esther, what a glorious relief"..... ;)

Samuel's and my first 'date' :)
This post is waaaaayyyyy overdue, but last Saturday Samuel too me out on our first 'date'!!!
He came and picked me up and took me to Addison to fly over Dallas for about an hour!!!
Soooooo Romantic!!!! :)
We dropped by his work so he could show me the plane they've been working on...then, because he has a airport access badge, so we drove from his work to the plane rental out on the airport...airports are really neat places!!! :)
A huge map of the world in the waiting area...
our two pilots
us!!! :) we had to wait about 15 min. on the runway before we could take off, but the flight was wonderful!!!!!
a few planes waiting in line....
Samuel's work from the air
Housing developments look neat and tidy from the air....

A Grass farm from the air

Coming back into Addison....
The Pilot, Sam and the plane! :)
After we got back to the ground, Sam took me to this cute little park for a picnic! :)
He had to put some power of steering fluid in the truck....and I snuck pictures of him while he did it... :)
Darling little picnic for two..... :)
had a little trouble opening the sparkling cider...but My man opened it with a knife! :)
the bug that drowned in my cider....added to the romance.... :P
He's sooooo thoughtful!!!

Taking random pictures while Samuel went back to the truck for something......
A vase of roses, a special question, an 'I love you', and a diamond solitaire ring!!!
Of course I said 'Yes!!!!!!' and we hugged for the first time, and said 'I love you' for the first time!!!
Back at the Schattes telling them the story and showing them the ring.... :)
For some reason we couldn't stop smiling..... ;)
I really, really, REALLY love this man!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3
Faith and Liz decided to do a impromptu photoshoot.... :)
(This one's my favorite! :)

Mr. Schatte was still at work, so we talked to him on the phone
We ate supper at the Schatte's and then headed to my family's house to tell them the news.....
The girls doing the goodbye wave.... :)
Of course, as soon as we walked in holding hands, they kinda figured out what had happened.... :)
Hugs from Mommy.....
