Wedding progress!!

So we have a date!! May 1, 2010 will be our wedding! I thought it would be cool to get married on a 1st, and John immediately liked that day. There were a few others I brought up to see what he thought, but May 1st just seemed perfect. And it is :) I also got my wedding dress! It is simply the most gorgeous wedding dress I've ever seen in my life. I love it. It's so intricately detailed and - just wow. I can't post any pictures for OBVIOUS reasons, but of course after the wedding I'll post them all :) It also has what I've always wanted since I was a little girl: a cathedral length train. It's just absolutely stunning. I simply can't wait to wear it. We have the church we'll be married in picked out too, and I reserved our day. People say planning weddings are so stressful, but I'm having so much doing it. I love it. I even have my song and guest list started. Yaay :)

A Christmas to Remember...

Well they are all special. But this one was a day I will remember for the rest of my life. My boyfriend became my fiance. Yes, we are now engaged! He proposed on 12/25 at 12:25am. I was very surprised. He even tricked me and put it in a larger box so I'd have no clue. I was so excited I almost forgot to say 'Yes!' lol! John made me the happiest girl in the entire world. I literally couldn't ask for a more perfect man, not even if I had to think of one up myself.

Well I think just about everyone knows now. I've made more calls on my phone to people in the last few days than I have for the past 2 years I think! Anyhow... Yaay!! :)

TSO

So the boy was really bummed we missed the tickets for TSO this year. He loves to go (as well as I do), but they sold out quickly, and - well, that was that. Yesterday was the last day they were in Pittsburgh for the year.
So at work yesterday he sends me a message out of the blue around 2 o'clock "If i could get tix for tonight's TSO would you wants to go? I know it would be kind of spontaneous.." At first I was like "yeah right".. The show was at 8:15 and a little late on a "school night". Although I knew he *really* wanted to go. Just for kicks, I searched around to see what other dates they may have had that might be close enough we could drive to like in OH or something. I didn't find much. At all. However, I did see that they had a 4pm show too. I (half) jokingly said we should go to that one (which BTW would mean we'd have to leave work like NOW.) He replied "OK!" He was serious.. I was a little worried at first because we both still have quite a bit of work to get done by the end of the year. But I thought to myself, we need to live a little sometimes. So what we have things to do. Being spontaneous is FUN!
By the time I walked down he had the tickets printed out, and we were out of there like a bat out of hell. The show was great. We had a blast. And the seats.. were phenomenal. Even better than last time. Thanks sweetheart for a great night at TSO!! :-*

Here are some pictures from the show.. and that's with my (very) crappy phone.. They don't even begin to capture the show, but here they are anyway :)

 

Guitar Hero World Tour

..has got to be one of the best games ever! Definitely worth the money. And if you're like me and already have GH3, you can still use that with it in addition to your new one - so it's not even going to waste! The drums are so cool to play too. I like them even better than Rock Band's drums with the little symbols up on top. And at work this Friday, we be rockin' all out. It's Christmas season so we thought to treat ourselves: I'm bringing in the band set (along with Wii Fit too!) and someone else on the team is bringing their Wii. It'll be a blast!

I just know it.. all night tonight I'm going to be dreaming of little green, red, yellow, blue, and orange ovals exploding.

Crap results...

Well, now I know why they call it a "bag of crap" :)

In all honesty, I can't really complain though. And the fact that I was actually *able* to get one makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside..

Contents:
3 iPod combination security locks (2 of which I've successfully gotten rid of already)
4 clear sansa MP3 cases
1 camer bag (that I think just about everyone got)
1 8 inch Grandpa Munster doll

People and Politics

I've just about had it with people forwarding emails of this huge list of things that "Obama says" versus "McCain says", etc, etc. Depending on which senator the email is targeted for, it inflates the stances of the one senator and right out lies about the others'. Now, I'm not going to get into whom I'm voting for. That is not what this is about. What it is about is a skewed perception people have: people believe what they read in stupid emails written by some biased uninformed individual that likes to start chain letters who just happens to agree with their political standpoint. Give me a break. If you want to actually learn about the opposing candidate, for God's sake don't learn it from the political party you're for - let alone some horribly inaccurate email. Learn it from the source. I've read "forwards" with right out lies about where a candidate stands - both about McCain and Obama. If you want to have solid, accurate information about a candidate and where a person stands, start with going to their website; research the bills they've voted both for and against; watch the debates. Don't just believe what your little spam buddy put in an email - look it up; research it. It just ticks me off that people so naive are passing around all these emails with blatant lies in them. It almost makes me scared that we don't have some type of IQ test to pass before you may vote.

By the way, I'm not affiliated with a certain party. I try to accurately and fairly access candidates with every election. (And with no help from petty emails) :)
