We made a list of a whole bunch of reception centers we might like and will also accomodate 300 people!! Since we have lots of time there is no rush both Blandina and I have been very busy, she's been busy with her finals and I with my day job and also H&R Block, we will make sure to really get going on the wedding stuff as soon as next year comes around.

Josh & Blandina

Last Saturday

Hello, everyone!
I really don't have much to update you on. This last Saturday we went to go look at our first reception center it was completely beautiful but we're still not making any decisions until we see a few more, luckily time is in our hands. We also had a chance to go to the Football game this last Saturday, it was really fun I'm happy we went since we only ended up going to two games with our season tickets....

Engagement Announcements

So we have since sent out our engagement announcements, I hope that everyone likes them. So we really haven't started doing much but we sure have ordered plenty of catalogs for all sorts of wedding stuff, we need to start getting ideas on what we want and what looks good and also what amount of budget we are going to set.

We do have our first wedding appointment this Saturday for a reception center, we will see how it goes.

Ring

Here's a picture of the beautiful ring!

So I have since proposed to the love of my life! Everything went as planned and Blandina was completely surprised!!! After we took our pictures our parents meet up at her house. Blandina's mom was sooo happy that she cried when Blandina told her what happen during our photo shoot. Blandina's mom did know that I planned on asking Blandina for her hand in marriage but she thought it wasn't going to happen until next month. (I couldn't wait!!) Since then we have been celebrating by going out to lunch and dinner every night this past weekend. We got our pictures YESTERDAY!! and of course they turned out really good! our photographer did a really good job. We will also be sending out our engagement announcements to let everyone know the good news. I just got done printing all of the address labels and sticking them on the announcements.

The beginning and day before....

I decided to start this blog especially today because it's the day before that I will be proposing to Blandina, after 5 years it's about time. I'm so excited!!! I can't wait to see her reaction!
The way that I will propose is during our photo session for our Christmas cards at Memory Grove Park. I want to make sure that the photographer could capture her every reaction of me proposing, I know she will love to have those photographs so that we could cherish every memory from the beginning of our engagement.

I can't wait until she see's the ring I bought her I know she will love it. After I found that ring I knew that was the one, the ring really reminds me of her in every way. This is the start of a closer more loving relationship for both us, I know this will bring us even closer together, and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with the LOVE OF MY LIFE!!! I love you so much Blandina!
