Mi Bella Vida

I’m still alive!!! It has been FOREVER since I had time to make a blog post! So glad I have time tonight because I have some great things to share

I have been on cloud 9 since December 23, 2009. That is the day that my bestie proposed to me That’s right, I’m getting MARRIED!!! You ready to hear how it happened? Here goes.

We knew that Christmas was going to be super busy. We - I- decided to do Christmas early between us. Just me and him I gave him his gifts first. I got him The Witch’s Son,  which is part of the Wizard of Oz series, and a book light. I thought the book light would be an AWESOME idea but I was mistaken. He likes to read in bed and I like to go to bed early but the light he was using was bothering me. This book light is like 100x brighter than the light he was already using I fail but I’m sure we can totally use it as a flashlight or something. Then it was my turn Chris makes getting presents soo much fun. I get so excited I love birthdays, anniversaries and Christmas because of him.  Chris starts giving me my gifts in small batches. I got teas, a really cool calender, a cutting board made of recycled stuff, sticky notes, and pens. These gifts REALLY made me want to go back to school! He then told me it was time for my last gift and he told me to close my eyes again. I had been closing my eyes everytime he brought out presents. I hear the cats stirring and I open my eyes and there is a big box in front of me. I thought ‘How cute, he brought me my kitties.’ I open the box and I see a brown square box. First thing that pops in my head ‘Looks like I either got earrings or a necklace.’ Why did I think that? Around Christmas time there are a bunch of jewelry commercials and that is what I thought. In the commercials you always see the cute romantic couple and it looks like the guy is going to propose but its something else instead. That is why I thought that. I opened the square box looking for earring but instead I found a round brown box with a pink bow on top. That is when I thought ‘ Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!!!’ Pretty sure I verbalized that, actually. I’m trying so hard to get that box open that I don’t even think about untying the bow!!!! I finally get the box open and I see the ring, start crying, and freaking out!!! I turn to look at Chris and he is down on one knee!!!! Holy crap!!! Is this really happening??! YES!!! Chris then asked me to Marry Him and of course I said YES!!!. We slip that sucker on and we are engaged!!!

Look at this beautiful ring!!! He picked out all by himself He has great taste. The picture really doesn’t give it justice!! It is gorgeous!!!

I am so excited!!! We won’t be getting married until sometime in 2011. We have some saving we want to do and we really need to get started on the house.

I had the best Christmas ever We had so much fun with our families For New Year’s we had a small get together at our house and it was awesome. It was like a grown up party, almost. 2 people did get super drunk but it wasn’t that bad. I was a terrible host though. I had to work New Year’s Eve. I was up at 530 am so I could get to work by 7. I made it, got off at 1 came home and hung out with our friends from Orlando. Well, as soon as we rang in the year I was in bed. I was so tired

I also have some more good news. Chris and I are going to Spain for 2 weeks. yay!!! Going to  Europe for the first time! Excited! We are still working out our plan but it should be fun. Down side… we are going to be there during winter. Yeah, that is going to be cold.  Yay!! Spain. I need to make sure to take pictures. My fingers might fall off.

More good news!!! My job contract got extend till the end of Feb!!!! At the end of the month we are going to discuss the possibility of a permanent position.

2009 was a great year and I hope you had a wonderful year as well

2010 is going to be another great year and I have many goals planned for the year but I decided that I would not share what they are. I think I would rather just surprise you!!! I have some ambitious plans and I’m keeping my fingers cross I can accomplish them all I wish you the best in 2010 and if you made any resolutions, I do hope that you keep them.
