I would have never thought six years ago that I would be the one to propose to Greg, well, I wasn't even thinking I would propose to anyone.

Greg wanted to get married four, or even three years ago. He has always been the grown up in our relationship. I knew one night when I felt bad for being mean to him. I wanted to tell him right away I was ready but I thought, no this is too rash, so i simmered in it for a few days. After a week passed I was still frazzled by my own thoughts, but I still stood by my decision, and after a month of ensuring that I wasnt making a decision on emotion, I bought him a ring. It was March 25, 2009, his 24th birthday. I wanted to give it to him then because he always gives me the best birthdays. The funny thing was that I had to argue with him about the reasons I did'nt want to be married just a few weeks before, I had already had his ring at that time so I was secretly smiling to myself as he was steaming out the ears. A good surprise that would be coming very soon. I gave him his present and he laughed, then cried, then we both cried. It was a good moment.

This is our Miniature Schnauzer Coco. She is the light of my life, next to Gregory of course. Greg got her for me for my 22nd birthday and it was love at first sight. She follows me wherever I go, when she hears keys she will run to the front door and outside to be ready to jump in the car. I have loved all animals my whole life, some of my hobbies in my spare time are saving worms and snails from drying up on the sidewalk after it rains. (Lol, it's true! Ask Greg) I got a cat once from my friend Franny in 6th grade. My dad of course said I couldnt keep her and I locked myself in my room with her every night untill my dad gave in, because he is as much of a sucker for baby animals as me. Later on she turned out to really be his cat instead of mine, go figure. Coco is my first dog, to actually be owned by me. She loves me more than anyone else, that's how I know she's mine.
She is the best dog in the whole world. My little Coco

Planning the wedding. ...Ugh

If you have ever planned a wedding, you know the pain I am in. Everyone and their extended family has their own opinions on how we should do things. I am holding back as much as I can to not get angry. I know at the time of speaking everyone thinks they are helping, well, your not. If you want to help a couple plan their wedding, ask them what they want. Please do not put in your "2 cents". I could just be tired and lacking sleep and have an overload of homework and things on the list from the endless list of what to do before the wedding, or I could be speaking for every bride that has ever been. I wish I could do this on my own. I love blogging! It's like writing in a journal, it really helps me to releive some of the stress and things on my mind. Happy planning to me!
