Basic Intro and Blah
Not really sure if I will keep or how to keep up with a PJ, which I just learned means Planning Journal. What can I say acronyms aren't really my thing. If you want evidence that following through for the wedding hasn't been number one take a look at our wedding page,
http://www.samandjazmin.com, which should have been done before we sent out the Save the Dates, Save the Dates are all out and our page has the template info on it. Meaning half blank and half done by other people. Not in a cool way, just in a way you leave the picture that came in the picture frame when you bought it as a space saver until you add your own picture. So our Guys and Girls section has models. Filled with models and half blank. Hopefully by the time someone gets to reading this my page will be all filled out and great. I kept wanting to sit down and get it done with my to be husband but we work different schedules and haven't had the time to sit down and do it. When we do have the time we really just want to hang out together not get things done on the to do list. Now, writing, that I can do. I can sit down and just type without making any sense or having a rhyme or reason. Gifts of on and off keeping a journal my whole life through. Now here is our timeline, kind of:
November 1, 2007 we had a pivotal telephone conversation that jump started our relationship.
I won't get into it because let's face it somethings are better left unexplained.
December 1, 2007 he asked me to be exclusive, true to form I told him to ask me again in a month.
January 2, 2008 I asked him. What!? I gave him the day to ask me and he didn't.
December 14, 2014 we got engaged! After getting a "higher" education, which we both admit took us way too long to get, (hey, we had our reasons), he kept his word and proposed. Before we started on the road to becoming and official "we" he and I both wanted to add some hard work into ourselves. So in front of the winter graduating class of 2014, he kneeled down and didn't say a word. You know he isn't even in the room and I can hear him correcting the story. He would kindly remind me that he only kneeled after I showed him a poster with a to do list including [X] Graduate [ ] Propose. He laughed and I added some smart *** remark like, "No pressure", to which he responded something along the lines of, "Yeah, because I'm about to ask you." He got the ring form his mom and got down on one knee. After shaking my head no I agreed and the rest is . . . well a year ago give or take.
Then the planning began, we had looked at options before so by the time I got the ring we already knew what would fit us best. So we check the available sail dates with
Disney cruise, spoke to Disney and were added to a mailing list.
April/May 2015 got an email from Anna with
DCL and she got like five one word none sense emails from me telling her what I wanted to book. When I got off work I called her and we were lucky enough to get exactly what we wanted for cheaper than we thought. Days passed and we also got an email from Val our wedding planner and slowly, very slowly things began to move forward.
After a feasco with the save the dates and you already know about the website. Here we are a freaked out bride because her invite list was large ( I was depending on no one being able to afford the trip) an every time someone books I recheck my booked list although I know exactly how many guest will be joining us.
