Ok...so it's now 365 days until John and I will say our "I do's"...I still find it hard to believe that a year ago, I was joking around and said, "We should just get married on October 11, 2012 so we won't forget our Anniversary." (10/11/12). John was like...haha...sure. We had talked about it in passing before, and decided that we would wait until Samantha graduated from high school so we wouldn't have to move her to a different school.
When I woke up this morning....and realize that it was 10/11...I was like...Wow. Only one more year! Sometimes I don't want to wait that long...I want to marry him NOW!
Now we have to start planning. I want to do something local. My daughter wants us to have a wedding ceremony with friends and family. The day that John and I want to get married on is on a Thursday, so there would be a greater chance that people wouldn't be able to make it. We're still thinking of doing our "official" I do's on the 11th...and then on the 13th, have an "unofficial" ceremony and reception.
I've been looking for a venue that would work for under $1000. Not having much luck. Grrr!!!
Time for sleep...
Good night!

Love...it's the real thing
Today I had one of those, "Ah-ha moments"...just hit me from out of the blue, totally not expecting it.
I'm at work, invoicing a client...when I get this warm, fuzzy feeling...starting getting all misty eyed...and all I could think about was how much I'm totally in love with my boyfriend...My heart swelled, and I felt all giddy!!
I've known that I've loved John for a couple of years now...and it just keeps getting stronger. At first it was the "new Love"...heart gets all twitterpated...then it was "comfort love"...so comfortable around him. Now, it's a combination of the two~
I just want to shout out to everyone that Yes, we are going to get married...and the planned date is October 11, 2012. But, we're waiting until he gets me a ring to announce it to everyone...
I love him so much!

TattleTales!
So...I got a "verbal" warning at work last week.
I had posted some pictures from work on my personal facebook page. They were hilarious! But, it seems that a "friend of one of my friends" saw the pictures and thought that they were totally unprofessional, and inappropriate. So, this person decided to send a letter to corporate headquarters of the company I work for. (I had where I work listed, so it wasn't that hard to figure out). This person said that she insists that the company do a better job of monitoring it's employees social networking pages, and demanded that I remove these pictures. My "boss" let me know what was going on. She politely asked if I could take the pictures down since we now had a "formal" complaint. I complied. The "complainer" sent the letter anonymously so no follow up could be done. This person also claimed to be a "veterinarian professional"..blah,blah, blah! Seriously! You have a problem with something I have on my PERSONAL page, let me know! Don't go to corporate. They have better things to do! So...I tightened the security of my page...only friends can see what I put on there...also removed my employer from my page. To make it even more bizarre...those pictures that were being complained about weren't even the worst ones on my page!!! Wow!
My co-workers couldn't believe that someone would even say anything about it. Also, I will NOT tag pictures of work related stuff...or probably not even post work related stuff on my page anymore!
It's kind of a joke at work right now. First we deal with a thief among us...and now someone has a tattle tail on their friend list!

Weekend Fun
Had a pretty amazing weekend with John. He came down Friday night...How I love falling asleep in his arms. All safe and warm. Saturday night when I got home from work and he got home from visiting Bruce,we went to dinner at Applebees. (trying to be a little "health conscious"). Then we decided to go see a movie. We picked "The Fighter". If you haven't seen it, I do recommend it. Was very good.
Sunday morning we hit a local winery to do a bit of wine tasting. Since this isn't something that I've EVER done, I wasn't sure what to expect. So we googled Wineries in the Vancouver, WA area. I was actually surprised how many there are in this area. We decided to go to the "Rusty Grape" in Battle Ground. Cute little place. The wine was pretty good. There were a couple that we didn't care for that much...I think more me than John. Wasn't too fond of their Pinot Gris, or Syrah...But, we did find a couple that we really liked. They had some cute little dogs hanging around that were very people friendly. Made the place more comfy and homey to me. After spending a couple hours there sipping wine and chatting with the event planner, we bough 4 bottles of wine and came home. Came home and made enchiladas.
Then the time came that John had to leave...and put me in a slight panic depression...John will be leaving for Virginia on Wednesday and will be gone for 7 weeks. I know this is nothing in the grand scheme of things..but I will miss him like crazy! I'm thinking it'll probably be 8 weeks before I actually get to see him, since I'm sure that he'll want to see his boys the weekend he gets back. He'll be coming home on March 18th...2 days before my birthday. Then he tells me unless he passes this final audition and PT, he might not be going. So...I'm torn now. I don't want him to miss this opportunity..but, I don't want to have him gone either.
I'm so glad that John gave me a wonderful memory filled weekend before he leaves.

2 Years
Two years ago, today...I had my first "date" with John. We had been communicating with each other via facebook and text message. Finally he said, "Hey...let's meet up for drinks or something." I was so excited to hear those words. So, we decided that we were going to have drinks and go bowling. Invited him to my house...he brought all the alcohol to make drinks...we talked, and drank...and kissed...never made it to bowling! :)
At first, we both said that we weren't looking for a "relationship", as we were both getting out of long term marriages...but, our friendship just grew, and next thing we know, we've fallen in love!
