so much has happened since i last posted! just so that everything is on one blog, after this post i will put the blogs that are on myspace on here. they will be nothing new.. just for organization sake.we are officially moved into our new place. it is currently adorned with tons of christmas decorations. including a fabulous christmas tree, which matt picked out the black, turquoise and silver bulbs. but i have to admit they are pretty freaking sweet. our couch is amazing and my sister gave us a kitchen table, that is temporarily being used as a computer desk. as soon as christmas is over we are buying a desk and putting it where our tree is. i absolutely love our place and could not be any happier :]
words cant describe how much i missed living with matt. it just seems so natural, so right, and i cant imagine not living without him. i love knowing that i never have to go to bed alone, feeling incomplete, that he is always there, waiting to cuddle me. that is a priceless feeling.
**in wedding news**
i am very proud of the fact that i am organized and getting things done early and not procrastinating. i am a HUGE HUGE HUGE procrastinator with almost everything. but i have realized that when it comes to our wedding, that is something that i can not be. i need to be the complete opposite. with that said, our venue is booked and half paid for. my dress, veil, hair pin is already bought. i have picked out the bridesmaid dresses and the color of the wedding is teal and black, with a hint of white. we are currently interviewing photographers. we have found great potentials so far. there are sooo many to look through though so this aspect is definately daunting:/ but were taking it one photog at a time. our first interview is this wednesday. i also have been actively looking for invitations. i am just having FUN with all of this planning. giving us a year allows us a lot of room to play around with different ideas, and not be stressed by deadlines just yet.
but so far i am loving my life being engaged and being a house wife(to be) i also love having people over. i love entertaining and cooking food and treats for my guests, its the best!!
i am looking forward to spending christmas with my fiancee and my family, and i am anxious with anticipation of what the new year will bring me:]

so this is how he proposed, since everyone is dying to know :]
he arranged to have my best friends kelsea and alicia take me out for a "girls day" in san diego. we went and got ice cream and walked around. then we decided to go to dinner, and they knew of this really good place on the beach. we got to the beach and walked along the shore and then we pass this group of rocks and then i see matt standing there, all dressed up. i look over and i see john and charlie standing aways with cameras ready to go. and then he goes on to tell me how much he loves me, and that he has loved me since the first moment he saw me.. and then he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. and i of course said yes! i never thought i would be one the girls that starts crying, but of course i did. i couldnt stop, and i was laughing at the same time. of course that day i put on eyeliner and mascara and eye shadow, i was a mess!!
all of them were in on the scheme and i realized that i must be incredibly dense to not realize what was going on right under my nose.
right after we went to in n out and headed to SOMA to watch the rocket summer. we also got to watch from back stage which was awesome.
i was on cloud nine and i couldnt have been more happy then i was at that moment. matt could finally breathe and relax. he said his legs were shaking so bad, right before he proposed, that he almost fell down the stairs leading to the beach. he was so nervous, which i told him you knew i was going to say yes!
on sunday my family came over to see our new place and celebrate our engagement. they are so cute, they brought food, drinks, cake, presents, i was so overwhelmed by their love and support.
and now we have two years to save and plan for our wedding. my sister who is already married, has offered her services with helping to plan, since we dont know what we are doing.
i am so happy right now that i feel like i may explode with happiness. i have found my prince charming and my dreams are coming true. life is beautiful.
"...it felt just like falling in love again..."

So i am pretty sure this is the dress. its beautiful, and exactly what i want. the only difference between my dress and the one in the picture is the brotch would be in the middle, as opposed to the right side. the picture (starting from the right) is my mom, the junior bridesmaid kailey, and my two sister, who are the maid and matred of honor, then of course matt and i, then his best man john, and groomsmen charlie, then ethan the ring bearer, and then its matts mom. this is the colors, and the dresses for my wedding. also, we decided to get married at the garden room. its just way too convenient and will be cheaper. so i posted some pictures of the ceremony area, its just perfect.   this is the cute little room that is only for the brides and bridesmaids. we can do last minute touches on make up, etc.  this is what the party will look like, including dance floor, because you KNOW we gots to get our dance on shoot!!'  and here is the gazebo that i love oh so much!  | |
every weekend we could my mom and sisters would
go looking at wedding dresses.
so far i think i have been to 5 different places and tried
on at minimum of 30 dresses.
and mind you every time i go i proclaim i have found "the one"
only to find something completely and utterly different
the next place i go and that takes reign.
there are so many different styles: lace, no lace, princess,
or mermaid or completely fitted?
well yesterday i thought i found my dress.
it was a fitted bodice with lots of beautiful details everywhere.
the dress was the "princess for the day" look.
but my mom and sister insisted i look somewhere else.
at this point i didnt even want to look anywhere else.
sooo the next place we went to seemed wayyy out of budget.
plus i was just exhausted and didnt want to try anything else on.
we were about to leave when the super nice sales person was
trying to show us more dresses and i said ok ok ill try some more on.
the first one i tried on, that was it. my sister was crying, so i knew.
the people there even got bobby pins, put my hair up and put a
gorgeous swarovski crystal clip in my hair.
the veil has beautiful beading and sewing.
the dress has a very vintage kind of feel, and is simple.
one of the people there with her family came over just to tell
me that i looked beautiful.
my mom and sister both agree that my dress is perfect and that
it is a very "tahnee" dress.
it was in this dress, i visioned walking down the aisle to matt,
with butterflies in my stomach the whole way.
this dress i envisioned wearing on the happiest day of our life.
also, for the fourth or fifth time, i changed the colors of
the wedding... its now going to be dark teal.
and the bridesmaid dresses match the cut and style of mine.
so i found my wedding dress and i could not be any happier.
andd i never want to look at a wedding dress ever again :)
