Home Sweet Home

So Geoff and I just got the word that we're homeowners! We're both so excited to finally be in a place that's ours and that we can update however we choose. It's the perfect size too! Four bedrooms - ours, a guest bedroom, an office, and a nursery for when we have our first little one :) It has 3 baths and it's a tri-level which is a floor plan that we love! With a little landscaping it will be a perfect first home!! Below are some pics to give you an idea of how truly perfect it is!

Too Much??

Ok as if we don't have enough on our plate with planning a wedding that's going to be in a city 3 hours away from Sacramento we're now stacking on House hunting too!! Are we crazy?? I hope not! Anyway with the housing market at such an all time low, Geoff and I thought that it would be silly of us to let it pass us by. We've been looking now for a couple of weeks and we did find a house that we love. So wish us luck and keep your fingers crossed for us!!

Our Engagement

OK, well considering I started this blogging adventure to document all the wedding plans I should probably start off with our engagement and Geoff's amazing proposal!

We've been engaged now for 6 months a 13 days (to be exact) as Geoff proposed to me on July 20th - My Birthday! It was such a surprise for me because all the "secret planning" that he was doing, I thought was for my birthday.

• The late night shopping adventures - for birthday presents (he told me I had 5) a.k.a finalizing the perfect ring.

• Getting up and walking out of the room while on the phone - for planning purposes - ok well this was for planning purposes.

• And the oh-so-clever - "I can't take the day off of work and spend the day with you because I have a huge project" - a.k.a. I am taking the day off to tidy up last minute details, travel to see your parents to ask them for their daughter's hand in marriage, and to keep my cool.

The night was perfect, truly. We boarded a yacht on the Sacramento River with my brother and his girlfriend. We sailed into the sunset while I opened gifts, drank wine and enjoyed the scenery. Then Geoff asked me if I wanted my medium sized gift or my small gift and I told him to pick it out. He disappeared down the stairs and when he returned he told me I only had one gift and he preceded to get on his knee and opened a box to reveal . . .

Oh yes, I was breathless! I wish my camera would take a great close up on my finger, but alas it's always blurry.

OK to continue with the story . . . I can't remember exactly what he said during his heart felt speech because I was in a state of shock - a wonderful shock - but he ended with "I can't image my life without you in it and I never want to, will you spend the rest of your life with me?"

Yes, Yes, Yes!!! or maybe it was Of Course!! I can't remember that either - shock - it's a terrible state of mind!

We then proceeded to the Kasbah Lounge (my favorite bar downtown) and celebrated with our nearest and dearest. It was an amazing night!

A little skewed

Ok, I know that if you're viewing our blog using internet explorer the image is a little off. I'm sorry about this but I just adore the background!! I'll see if I can fix it!
