So many things to update! I guess I will just list everything lately!!
First things first though
1. I AM ENGAGED!!!!! On October 29, 2009 Andrew proposed in Santorini, Greece. I know Greece, can you believe it!?
So I said yes of course! I was COMPLETELY SHOCKED! I really had no idea that he was going to propose on this trip, mostly because we had talked about it hahah, but Andrew is happy I said yes :)
2. We went on a cruise! It was a 12 day cruise, to Greece, Egypt and Turkey. Some of it was so surreal I couldn't honestly take it all in! I got a little sick towards the end, which was just more inconvenient then anything, but I survived! All in all, it was an amazing trip, obviously getting engaged was pretty great as well!
3. Thanksgiving was good in 2009. Jason was here like has been for the past 4 years which is always nice and Andrew actually came up this year! It was fun to have him be with my family. Dan, Natalia (Dan's new girlfriend), Andrew and I all did a Turkey Trot that morning. We didn't do the long beach one, but instead found one in Van Nuys at the Balboa park. It was harder to break in the valley rather than along the beach, but still felt good.
4. Christmas felt like it came and went so quickly this year! I mostly gave gifts from my trip which I think everyone liked and then I asked my now bridesmaids to be bridesmaid. The group consists of: Ellie, Erin (maid of honors), Christina, Shelley, Alex and Erika! I decorated half of the house and my mom did the rest. All in all it looked great, minus I couldn't get the whole tree to light up!! Andrew came up late on Christmas night which was new for us and fun! We also had my aunt in town with us. Long story about her, not really sure I should post that whole situation online though. The weekend after Christmas (I think) Andrew's parents came up to LA and had dinner with my family. I was a little stressed, only because of Jack hahaha, but everything went great!! It was good to have them up here and the conversation was great!
5. New Year's was good this year. Andrew and I drove down to Mexico and celebrated with my dad, erin and jason, marisa and keith and my aunt. We were at Dino's again for the countdown and lentil soup! YUM! This means 2010 truly will be a good year haha The weather was really great that weekend, which was nice!!
6. This past weekend was Andrew's 25th birthday. It was fun. Him and Nick (his best friend) decided to do a joint birthday since Nick's is on the 24th. Nick's girlfriend Becca had a $100 voucher to the Hyatt and got us a room there. So us 4 and Brandi and Burke and Russel all came. We hung out there and then walked to a bar called Rock Bottom. This was all in downtown. Andrew celebrated a little too hard! hahah But it was fun, I got to dance which I feel like I haven't done in forever!
7. Job news. Since before Christmas I have had a part-time, temporary job thanks to Alex! Alex's mom works for PHT and the owner, Seymour who is 91, needs a drive to take him to the office and back home and possibly the doctors, Costco, etc. So that is where I come in! I prefer to call myself a personal assistant rather than driver hahah. I also answer phones and file when I am at the office. Even though its part-time I am sooooooooo grateful for this job! I am soo happy that Alex and her mom thought about me and mentioned my name to Seymour. It really is a great job as I get to spend time with Seymour and we all know I love older people :).
Then thanks to Lindsay :), her dad has been looking for someone he can trust to spend time with an older woman who is recovering from an injury. I will be meeting with her next week to see how she responds to me and if all goes well I will spend maybe 1 day a week to 5 days a week just visiting with her, reading, etc. It sounds like a really great thing! So thank you Lindsay!
8. Erika's birthday is this weekend! She is having a murder mystery dinner party, and it takes places in the 1920s! I have my outfit all ready and I think it looks really good! I am super excited about the whole thing as it seems like it will be a lot of fun!
9. That is mostly it, besides the obvious which is wedding planning! Which I do not like doing. I like to see my decisions right away and don't like how I have to wait 7 months to see how everything comes together! Hahaha, but I am making a lot of progress which is nice!
Well I think I nailed down the major stuff. This week Southern California is being hit by 3 major storms. They are pretty bad too. It was hailing earlier today! We have one more coming tomorrow! Yikes, the streets are really flooding!
Oh and of course the worst part so far of 2010 is the earthquake in Haiti! It was really horrible and was a week ago yesterday (Tuesday). So much needed prayers in that direction!
Hopefully I will be back soon, like after Erika's birthday party!
Ciao!
