A lot can happen in 18 days...

Save the dates - check! Went through magnetstreet.com - lessons learned? Next time use Costco :)

Engagement pics - check! Thank you, Annie Brady! What a fun day out at Discovery Park - love you so much my friend.

Matt's suit - check! We found an amazing suit at JCrew - he tried the suit jacket, and tears just came in my eyes. I couldn't help it - the man I'm going to marry is standing in front of me - I found him, he found me. What a feeling.
My dress? Getting close. Still have a few more places to check out, but I think I may have found it. Sorry readers, all 1 of you - not going share that info until the big day :)
This weekend, we are heading over to Yakima to meet with caterers and taste their food - fingers crossed we find our people :)
More to come....stay tuned

I've changed my status - I'm engaged!

Can you believe it! I can't! It's a dream come true! I finally found the man of my dreams - the one I'm going to spend the rest of my life with...I'm totally freaking out.

Matt proposed on New Years Eve Day while on a walk in Discovery Park - you couldn't ask for a more perfect day! Woke up to blue sky and sunshine streaming through into my living room - I decided to cook up some Spam and eggs for breakfast - Oh yes, my friends, I love Spam, and then asked Matt to go on a walk - which he gladly responded YES to without any guff. Little did I know he had purchased my engagement ring 3 weeks back, and had his friend Scrub hand deliver it to him while we were in West Hartford for Christmas - it was burning a whole in his sock drawer. We started out on our walk with Dena and came over our first hill onto a huge meadow - Oh my gosh - the mountains were super amazing! I had to take a picture. So I over course told Matt to "stand over there" and snapped a few pics of him....

And then he took a few pictures of me....

And then HOLY SMOKES - he reached into his inside jacket pocket and pulled out the ring we had found in Ocean Beach back in August - he started to grab my right hand which I immediately said "WRONG HAND! WRONG HAND!" and then I started to say "shut up! no way! are you serious! OH my gosh!!!"

We continued on our walk after that moment, and I over course told EVERYONE that passed by us - We just got engaged! The pic below was taken by complete strangers who were able to celebrate with us along this magical day in Discovery Park!
