Beautiful and True

I love you,
Not only for what you are,
But for what I am
When I am with you.

I love you,
Not only for what
You have made of yourself,
But for what
You are making of me.

I love you
For the part of me
That you bring out.

Ideas a brewing...kind of :/

I thought I'd gotten a lot of great ideas from the bridal fair. Turns out my brain just went into overload. Some days its so fun just thinking about what its going to be like, the dress, the decorations, the venue and T and I sharing our love....Then...I start to think about the price, the extreme planning, the time..UGH!!

I know that time flies...but we are more than a year and half away from our date and I'm already stressing out. How the heck am I going to survive this?

Some days I think T and I should just get married in Vegas, quick, fast and no feelings hurt. But then he makes me snap out of it and reminds me that this is for real, this is about him and myself...for life. That's why I love him, he knows me and what I want and always tells me not to sell myself short. So...I'm going to take some time to really think about what it is I would like instead of just going for the cheaper stuff right away.

I want our wedding to be absolutely wonderful for US!! A day we will never forget. He will, after all, be my forever! :0)

BRIDAL FAIR...HERE I COME!!!!

I'm so excited, tomorrow I'll be attending the Bridal and Quincenera fair. I'm making my sister take her super awesome camera so we can get some good ideas from the pros. Hopefully they'll have some good door prizes for us and I win something that'll help us out with the wedding*fingers crossed*.Wish me luck.

The Beginning...

Right before he proposed

Anthony...or "T", and I have been together now for 7 years. I think an engagement was LONG overdue HAHA. So The day after one of his good friend's wedding, in BEAUTIFUL Panama City Beach, Florida, in September, at SUNSET he proposed! :)

I can honestly say I had no clue it was coming. But the way he did it was absolutely magical. HOWEVER,I think because I'm from dry Lil El Paso,Texas and we were surrounded by sunsets, oceans,crashing waves and clean air that I was SO into everything around us to notice what he was "trying" to do. That was until he got on his knee.

That's when I became tongue tied, mute, I WAS IN SHOCK. I've always thought when it happened, I'd shout out YES from the top of my lungs, like they do in the movies, but I'm pretty sure my face just got contorted and tears ran down my cheek, that he wasn't sure what I was feeling, not a sound came out of my mouth. SO, not what I'd picture I'd do, haha.

My beautiful engagement ring!!!

Its been about 5 months that we're engaged and FINALLY we are beginning to plan. I would have done it earlier, but this is my first year teaching and it has been beyond stressful...but the fun shall begin!!!

We have now set a date, June 23, 2012 (to allow ourselves some time to save for the wedding of our...my dreams ;0).) and have booked the venue at the beautiful Grace Garden, in El Paso. We will be married on Pond Island and dance the night away in the Tent Pavilion. As far as I can remember I've always, ALWAYS wanted an outdoor wedding, and now...its all I can think about :)

Before I carry on and on about how I can't wait,the reason I started this blog was to keep myself on track and stress free. Its like an outlet for me. I'm also going to use this blog to update family and HOPEFULLY get some ideas and insight from others. I'm hoping the blog will help me organize my thoughts and ideas so I don't go crazy and become...BRIDEZILLA...RARRRRH!!!
