New Beginnings

I am happy to report that after 1 1/2 years of long distance dating (which I DO NOT recommend to anyone who likes their sanity), Matthew and I are officially engaged and excited to be moving forward in our life together. He proposed on June 20th (my last day of school) at Disneyland, taking me by total surprise.

Hopefully he will be able to transfer with Safeway into a Vons here and manage a store that is somewhere in So. Cal so that neither of our commutes to work is terrible. We will also be looking for a house to buy (great timing on that one -yeah). I am so excited that he is moving here and we can continue to be close to my family. My parents love him because he is so willing to be slave labor (just check out the brick flag pole holder we built in the front yard). Well, I will continue to leave updates as things go forward. Its so fun to start thinking about all the stuff to plan and do to get ready for the wedding. Anyone have any great ideas? I am open to suggestions. :)
