Wonderful

Last night was my first experience at the Melting Pot in Red Bank. My future brother and sister-in law were so kind to treat us for more celebrating and we had a GREAT time. It's such a great thing to be able to dip anything you can think of into warm, melted cheese....mmmmmmmmm.

It's so fun to be able to say my soon to be brother/sister.....I love the fact that I'm joining a new family and that he is joining mine. Family is so important to both of us so to be making them bigger is just so great.

On another side note, we went and looked at our first choice of reception hall. The difference between the 2 of us is that he is more rational, and I am much more irrational. I would have snatched up the place in an instant, but I know we should just have something to compare. When we walked in though, I got this chill...in less than a year we could be there, CELEBRATING the start of our LIVES TOGETHER. It's such an amazing feeling.

I'M ENGAGED!!!

It's been a VERY long time since I last put up a post, but now I feel like I have something to write about and something worth updating regularly.

WE GOT ENGAGED OVER THE WEEKEND!!!

I can honestly say I've waited much of my life to be able to say that. I guess I was the stereotypical girl who dreamed of finding the right person and getting married. I've DREAMED of putting on a pretty white dress and walking down the isle to the one I love. Fortunately, I've found him and now we're getting MARRIED!!!!

One thing I tried to tell my significant other from the beginning is that I don't want this process to be crazy and out of control. We've talked for a long time about the things we like and what we're interested in so it's not as though we're starting from scratch now. The first thing I wanted to get out of the way was booking a place for the reception so that we had our date and then everything else would fall into place.

So, we're going to look at our first choice tomorrow morning. We've gotten a few tips here and there but for the most part, in the dark. I've started making a list of things that are important to ask and then we'll go from there.

The point still is, WE'RE GETTING MARRIED!!!!!
