First Purchase!!!!

Well I feel that this has been an ongoing dilemma for us. We have been searching and searching for a bed. You see, I have always had just a twin bed since I moved out of my parents house and so Gabe and I knew that we would have to purchase a bed sooner or later. I cannot even begin to tell you how many bedroom stores we  have been to. Laying on every mattress in the store. We have found several that were perfect but then we looked at the price tag, and gave up on trying to find a bed. Who knew that beds were so dang expensive. Finally, the other day Gabe and I decided to venture out once again and decided that we were not going to stop till we had purchased a bed. Well.... we found one!!!!! It is the most beautiful most comfortable bed in the world. Not only did we buy a mattress but we bought a whole bedroom set. I know I know it was a big jump from just buying a mattress to a whole set. But it was on sale for a great price and we are super excited. The sales man showed us several different styles and I saw this one I knew it. I knew that this was the one that we are were going to buy.  I must admit though, I was a little scared to make the purchase. This was our first big real purchase that we had ever made together and I knew that meant that we were adults. I still am scared about the whole thing but I am beyond excited. Not only about the purchase but also that we no longer have to go to every bedroom store in the entire city and look, freak out over the price. I guess that this means that we are really getting married and that it is coming faster and faster. We finally got the invitations  ordered last night and they will be here in about 3 weeks. It has been a very exciting week for the both of us!

Excitement!

So today, Gabe and I went to go register for the wedding. We went to Target and found several things for the house. I guess you could say that I went a little crazy. There was so much to choose from and I was not sure what we really needed or what was going to be very useful, so i jut registered for it all. lol We spent a good two hours walking around the store scanning everything. Although we were only about half way done the scanner decided that it was going to die. I think that was a sign that we had already registered for too much and that we needed to stop. We did not let this get us down, we got a new scanner and continued on. It was a very eventful day and we had a lot of fun. I can't believe how fast the wedding is coming. We have about 93 days!!!!!! I feel like it is so far but when I think about all the things that I have left to do it is not enough time.  Who knew that when planning a wedding there is so much detail? I can honestly say that I am so ready to be married. Gabe and I are going to live in the apartment that I currently live in. It is a cute little apartment and very close for Gabe to go to school. I am kicking my friend Wanda out of the apt for Gabe to move in! It is going to be so different living with a man. It will be an adjustment but so worth it. I love him with all my heart and cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with him.

New Year!

Well here we are again, starting a new year! It is hard to think that 2010 is already over. 2011 is going to be a great year. The wedding plans are coming along very nicely. We have the reception center, temple booked, cake, and I even got my wedding dress! Gabe and I are both so excited. Gabe is currently on his way home from Brazil right now. He will be here in just a few hours. It feels like he has been gone for an eternity. He will be happy to return home and to start another semester of school.

Tis the Season!

I cannot believe that Christmas is here yet again. I am to the point now that I wish that it was all over. Gabe has gone to Brazil to spend Christmas with his family. He will be gone for 3 1/2 weeks and I feel like it is an eternity. I have made it through the  first week and I only have 2 1/2 more to go. It is kinda sad to not have him here for the holidays and to have him so far away. I feel a little alone. On the upsidem, wedding plans are coming along fantastic! My mom reserved the reception hall the other day and I cannot wait. It is going to be everything that I have always wanted for my wedding! Gabe has yet to see it, but with him being gone I had to make the reservation. We have decided to get married on May 14th!  After much debate we decided to get married in the SLC temple. It seems so far away but when I think of all the plans and stuff that I have to do it is coming so fast. I am super excited and cannot wait. But for now I am just trying to get Gabe home!

The Beginning!

On several occasions many people have told me that I should start a blog. I always thought that starting a blog would be pointless just for myself. Things have changed and it is not just myself anymore. Five months ago I met the most amazing man on the face of this planet!!! I know I maybe a little biased, but he is pretty dang amazing. Anyway, I was taking some time for myself. I needed to figure out what I was going to do with my life. When I decided that I was going to start dating again a friend of mine just happened to suggust that I try online dating. I was not meeting anyone special and I had nothing to lose. I signed up for a eharmony account. I told myself that I was going to try it for 3 months. I went on a few dates but nothing promising. I was close to the end of my membership when a guy by the name of Gabe started to communicate with me. We wrote each other for about a month before agreeing to meet. As anyone would be, I was nervous to be going out with a guy that I only talked to through e-mail. To by suprise when we met up at the Gateway and I saw him I knew that this was going to be promising.  We had dinner and got to know each other. It was great. A week later we went on our second date. We went to a movie at the capital with some friends of mine, although he did not hold my hand, nor give me a first kiss like I hoped it was the most fun that I had in a long time. Our third date was the next day in which I took him to lunch for his birthday, we had planned to go to his birthday party that night together. He asked me if it would be ok if he introduced me as his girlfriend. I of course said yes and upon arriving home he finally kissed me. We have spent just about everyday together. The other night when I got off work, we decided to go to the Christmas lights on Temple Square. After looking around for awhile we were in a secluded spot. Gabe got onto one knee pulled out the ring and asked me to marry him. I of course said yes!!!! That is right I am getting married. We have chosen May 7th 2011 to be Sealed in the Salt Lake City Temple! We could not be any happier!
