We Are Engaged!

As if everyone didn't already know. lol. As of 08/08/2008, I am getting married to M.A.G and couldn't possibly be more happy and excited. It hasn't been stressful at all, in fact we pretty much have everything done and 2 months to go. We have been planning everything together as a team which considering we are going to be spending our lives together and making even larger decisions than these, that's a good thing. We found amazing deals on everything, except the HUGE martini glasses. Oops! But when we found out the great deal were getting on the ceremony/reception hall, we felt it was okay to splurge a little bit on them. .
So, anyways, we have been together for 1 1/2 years. I met him while working at The Home Depot and we worked together for about 2 years. We began dating on June 24th, 2007, and it was like a dream. I didn't think I would ever be with someone so amazing and perfect for me. He is truly my prince charming, and I'm not one to believe in fairy tales.
We have so much in common, yet still have the differences that keep it interesting. We aren't so much alike that we fight all the time, but we do so much and have such a great time spending time together. I'm sure that just by looking all the thousands of pictures, you probably got that. lol. About a month after we started dating, he moved to Alaska. I was all set and ready to move with him, so I sold damn near everything including my car and ended up not moving because of the economy up there. There was no possible way for us to get on our own two feet in an acceptable time, so needless to say, Matthew moved back to Cali, we bought me a new car, and lived in our cars for about a month. There have been some incredibly rough times financially that made things very stressful, but we survived them all. Now we have a wonderful home, and great jobs, and soon to be an amazing marriage.
All jokes aside, I am truly looking forward to becoming Mrs. Griswold...ha ha, like the family vacation THE GRISWOLDS! Okay, now seriously no jokes. His family is incredible, and they adore me which is that much better.
Our wedding will take place on January 24th, 2009 @ 1pm. It will be held at the Paradise Cafe, Ca. Cant wait to see everyone and enjoy our BIG day with all our family and friends. Some may feel that its a privilege to be there, I feel that its a privilege to have you there. So, with that said, thank you everyone for you support. Its very much appreciated.
