Glenn is no longer my boyfriend (and I couldn't be happier).

So we are finally engaged after almost 8 years! Glenn proposed at the Happiest Place on Earth just as I wanted....in front of the castle...off to the side. I've told him in the past how awesome it would be if he proposed to me at Disneyland but not in front of a huge crowd cuz that's embarrassing. I guess he was really listening cuz that's exactly how it happened. So now I finally have my beautiful ring that I picked out....SO HAPPY!

Now I really have to consistently plan this wedding. I've been up and down for the past 3 months. Yes, it was super stressful to find the reception venue and finalize that but now I still feel stressed because I'm stuck on what I want the creative vision to look like. Maybe I'm just not letting my mind loose to get all the creative juices flowing. I know what kind of elements I want but I don't know how to put it together. I'm afraid that I don't trust my judgment! Gotta really sit down and think about things instead of thinking about things, getting scared, and then retreating.

In other news, we also put the deposits down on the church and the reception venues this past month! So the ceremony will be at St. Lorenzo, the church I grew up in. And the reception will be at..........::drum roll:: please......SEVEN DEGREES in Laguna Beach, California! This was the second place that Glenn and I went to on the first day of our venue search and it was love at first sight. It's been a loooooooooong road to get the proposal finalized to my liking and for me to finally relinquish the deposit money. But it's done now and I've scheduled the first planning meeting.....hmmm..hoping their curation team can help me with my vision!

That's it for now....I guess I should get better at writing in quick updates on this thing rather than just having occasional long essays.

Peace out!

P.S. I am so excited for SEVEN DEGREES!!
