June 12, 2010

Well, I can't believe it, but somehow one month has gone by since the big day (more on this later), and it's more than halfway through April. So much has happened over the past month and I finally feel caught up enough to blog. I just got back from a celebratory dinner with Todd and now I'm sitting in my apartment that is a bajillion degrees right now. We've been having this crazy heat wave in SoCal lately, so it was about 95 degrees today. Yesterday, Todd, my mom and co. were up at California Adventure and it was also SOOO hot! We were all melting!

Anyway, back to a month ago. As most of you know, it's the day Todd and I got ENGAGED!! It's still so crazy to write/say/think about. You can read Todd's re-cap here (if you haven't already), which basically covers it all. I guess from my perspective, I was completely surprised. I was mainly just confused and hungry, and didn't get why we couldn't eat before going to the beach (typical). The funny thing is that when we were walking to the beach, Todd had all this gear - sleeping bag, backpack, etc. - and I thought to myself, "what if he has the champagne in there?" (note: the champagne is this special bottle of almond champ that Todd had been saving for a year for a "special occasion." I would always joke that it was for when we got engaged). So, yes, I thought that it would be funny if it was the champagne, but never actually thought it was. I was totally shocked when all of a sudden the champagne was ACTUALLY there, with a ring. WOW, such an exciting night :D Anyway, now looking back, all these weird things make sense - like how Todd was begging me to leave work early that day and how I couldn't look at his phone at all (there were secret engagement e-mails on it). Plus, a couple days before, he came over to my house really, REALLY excited (the day he got the ring). I remember wondering what the heck was going on! OK, back to the night... the exciting engagement happened and I said YES (obvi) and then we went to dinner at Il Fornaio and stayed the night at the Hotel Del. Since then, we've been crazy talking and planning. So far, we have the church and reception place (almost) booked, and the date... June 12, 2010!

We're so excited and are having a ton of fun planning. Woohooo! Other than that, we just got back from a fabulous vacation in Florida last week. We stayed at Todd's grandmother's beach condo, which is now owned by his Aunt and Uncle. We had a great time hanging out with the family and making difficult decisions like "Hmmm, what should we do today? Pool, beach, pool, pool, beach, pool, beach? Or beach, beach, pool, beach, pool, pool?" I really miss Todd's parents, Lin and Chris. The week went by too fast. But, we also got to spend some time with my dad, Rose and the kids in Orlando, which was a great ending to a FUN weekl!

It's been difficult transitioning back into the usual schedule, but hopefully, we'll get the hang of it soon :) Plus, I'm sure I'll have bunches of updates in the coming weeks and months, and I can't wait to share them with you!
