Getting Hitched







JD popped the question.




On February 21st JD pulled me into a big bear hug and said "I love you so much, will you marry me?" It was one of the most exciting things that has ever happened to either one of us and now I am completely in wedding mode. Everyday I am looking up dresses and tiara's. I am talking to my mom about where to look for invitations and how we should decorate the tables. About who is going to do what and how we are going to go dress shopping this weekend. Then when I have thought of something to talk to JD about I load it all on like he is dying to hear it. I try to not overwhelm him because as soon as he asked me to marry him and I said yes he was all done with the wedding. He tells me he can't wait for July 31st but I don't think its as much to do with me becoming his wife as it has to do with the fact that I won't make him go register or try on suits or ask him about what time we should do this whole shindig.




JD and I did register. We are registered at Crate and Barrell, Target and Bed, Bath and Beyond. I was able to do two of them online and then we went to Target to tackle the third. I thought that this would be one thing about the wedding planning that JD would enjoy. However, he told me I was a little bit of a Nazie, I don't think so. I just kept telling him to STOP REGISTERING FOR HOT POCKETS! I think it is hilarious but he was dead serious about doing the silly things. He told me other than what he has to do for his part of the wedding (like being there) he only wants to go to the cake tasting and have input on what we eat. Oh and he would love it if we could have our puppy Cali bring the rings down the isle. However, I don't think that would be our smartest move ever.




Since Christmas we have been very busy. We have our puppy Cali who has quadrupled in size and is very lively as we take her to the dog park. Our cat Henry is getting more curious about going outside but he will not make it out in the real world. And as of yesterday our other cat went into heat. Luckily Henry is fixed but somehow Shiva has completely forgotten this and is flaunting herself at Henry at every turn. She is rubbing herself against every corner and singing so very very loudly. She is a beautiful cat who would have the most beautiful kittens but I think JD would absolutely kill me if I allowed her to run around the apartment complex and then come back and in 2 months have kittens. She is so little I just don't know how she could carry them anyways. But if I ever get another cat I want a Hymalayan, they are so beautiful.




JD is now working at CSU Long Beach with his company. It's a huge project and he will probably be out there for at least a year. I am no longer with Wells Fargo and while I miss the people I am so happy to have a change. I am now taking care of my aunt's grandfather. His name is Cliff and he is such a cute old man. Right now he is in a rehabilitation center recovering from a stroke which means that I am with one of my other favorite litte men (my 8 month old baby cousin) Jason. We hang out and watch Regis and Kelly, as well as the View. We go on long walks and play with the dog. I am helping him perfect his rolling over techniques and hoping that before I go back to Cliffs that he is army crawling if not for real crawling everywhere.
